18 Is The Number- Gold Heading For $1,800 While Silver Can’t Stay Above $18
Stuppler & Company is proud to email our clients this Weekly Market Report (WMR). The report gives you my overview of the prior week’s precious metal and rare coin market activity and news. In each WMR I share the current status of Gold and Silver along with their support and resistance levels. |
This Week's Headlines: |
As the world’s leading nations continue to bail out large companies and stimulate their countries’ economies, printing presses are working at an extraordinary pace. In the United States, the Federal Reserve continues to provide liquidity to the financial system with no letup in sight. Congress has already passed four Trillion-Dollar stimulus bills and with the worsening COVID-19 problems, there is more on the way. Congress badly needs to help states, cities, hospitals, public schools, and many more who are running major deficits. It is clear that the amount of paper money needed to be made available will diminish its value. This will increase the value of safe haven investments and ultimately lead to hyperinflation.
What can investors do?
Investors should buy more Gold now, and that is what is happening around the globe. Demand for all types of precious metal investments is growing. There are many ways to invest in Gold and Silver: mining stocks, jewelry, flatware, futures, options, ETFs…but for thousands of years the most popular and most profitable way to own Gold/Silver is physical coins and bars. Coins provide instant liquidity and, if purchased from a creditable company, have minimal fees when buying or selling.
During my average week, I work with many different types of clients; Gold/Silver and rare coin investors, collectors of rare coins, and currency. These clients range from a multi-billionaire to clients just trying to reach our minimum transaction levels.
Two questions that I am consistently asked are about timing and pricing:
- Timing- Considering today’s fundamentals and technical facts, the timing couldn’t be better.
- Pricing- Current limited availability has caused a slight increase, but prices are still attractive.
Last week, the price of Gold closed above the $1,760 support level all five trading days, establishing an excellent base for the next leg of the current rally. Gold closed the week at $1,773 per ounce, up $27 on excellent trading volume.
Today: A strong economic report, that U.S. pending home sales for May was up 44%, is giving the financial markets an upward direction. Gold is staying in a respectable trading range above $1,770 as it continues to build a firm base.
Silver had a difficult time trying to stay above the key $18 level all last week. Silver reached a high of $18.23 per ounce last Wednesday, but continued to see selling and short-term profit taking. While Gold is seen as a hedge against economic and financial disasters (COVID-19 stimulus), Silver has always been considered to be a hedge against inflation, and we haven’t seen it yet. I believe we will see inflation, but not till early next year, as the economy recovers and the real rate of inflation worsens. Silver closed the week at $17.92, up $0.08 on average trading volume.
Today: One more time Silver moved above the key $18 level, but couldn’t hold it. I believe we need to see Gold move above $1,800 before seeing a firm move above $18 for Silver.
Three months ago, when businesses started closing and the unemployment rate began making headlines, I was overly concerned that the rare coin market would suffer, but I was wrong. Home quarantined collectors, who couldn’t travel and were unable to spend money, started focusing on their collections. Since March, we have seen an extraordinary increase in purchases of collector coins valued from $100 to $50,000. Demand on the internet, numismatic auction houses, and major dealerships has increased on everything from Indian pennies to $20 Gold coins. This is in addition to strong demand for most of the popular Gold, Silver, Platinum and Palladium bullion coins.
