Both the Gold & Silver price break out above recent resistance levels
Stuppler & Company is proud to provide 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: |
Last Thursday, Gold finally broke out above the key $1,750 per ounce resistance level for the third and last time. Gold kept on going higher on short-covering and fresh buying, reaching a high of $1,785 per ounce. On Friday Gold closed at $1,779, up $36 per ounce for the week.
The key factors to last week’s Gold break out was lower U.S. 10-Year Treasury yields and a drop in the U.S. Dollar Index. This, combined with U.S. inflationary indicators on the horizon, is going to continue to drive the Gold price higher, with $1,800 being the next level within a month.
I believe the U.S. and other major governments’ trillion-dollar, yuan and euro stimulus packages combined with central bank zero interest rate policies will lead the world into a round of serious inflation by next winter. Another bullish element for Gold is dramatically increasing central bank purchases. Gold and Silver owners will benefit financially from these policies. The only question I have is the speed at which Gold and Silver will rally. As I predicted in January, I believe we will be over $2,000 by August and will reach $2,200 by year-end.
Today: Gold reached a 7-week high in Asian and early European markets this morning of $1,790 per ounce. That rally was generated by a fresh low in 10-year Treasury yields and a drop in the value of the U.S. Dollar. When U.S. markets opened Gold saw profit-taking and the price quickly dropped back into the $1,775 area.
Silver broke above its key $25 resistance level last Thursday and kept on going, reaching a high of $26.38. Silver closed at $25.98 on Friday, up $0.67 per ounce for the week. $30 per ounce for Silver is the key resistance level and I believe it will definitely surpass that level by August. A combination of low mintages of popular Silver investment products and increasing demand should result in premiums on these items to remain high if not higher than current levels.
The Silver-to-Gold ratio has remained unchanged around the 68.87-to-1 level.
Today: Silver both rallied with Gold, reaching $26.30, and sold off with Gold, down to $25.60 per ounce. However, Silver appears to be building a nice base above the $25.75 level as physical demand remains strong.
I’m proud to offer the April 2021 version of CoinStats, which has been updated with plus grades and other features. CoinStats for April 2021 offers six different series: $20 Gold Saint Gaudens, $20 Gold Liberties, $10 Gold Indians, Morgan & Peace Silver Dollars, and the Walking Liberty Half Dollars.
The CoinStats report provides a list of my recommended certified U.S. Gold and Silver coins which are found listed on the Best Value page. These are not the modern issue bullion coins or low-grade circulated coins. These are PCGS certified MS63 or higher Gold and Silver U.S. rare coins, dated prior to 1948, which have a proven track record of appreciation and also offer excellent liquidity.
The April 2021 version of CoinStats has all the populations and prices from PCGS. NGC populations and registry information has been omitted. The reason for this change is that over 80% of my clients only purchase PCGS coins, so I wanted to focus on PCGS data only. A new addition is information in increases in all PCGS grade populations from issue to issue, plus increases in popular PCGS Registries at the bottom of the Best Value page.
If you wish a copy of the current CoinStats, just reply in the subject line with the series requested.
