Gold & Silver Building A Great Base For The Next Leg Higher
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: |
In late 2021, a small number of my regular Gold investors decided to switch their investment into Bitcoin. At that point Bitcoin was trading over $50,000 and Gold was in the $1,700s.
Last week we saw the SEC go after the major companies that deal in Crypto currencies. Binance and Coinbase are the leading market makers for many of the Crypto coins and the SEC has classified them as unregistered securities and is taking legal action against these companies. The big question for years is whether Bitcoin is a security or a commodity, and the SEC answered that question last week. For more details, please read the SEC Sues Binance article above.
I am starting to see many of those clients who invested in Bitcoin switching back to precious metals when they are able to get their money back.
Last week there were economic reports from China showing a sizeable slowing in consumer demand and in their economy, this news caused Gold to test the key $1,950 level a few times.
On the bullish side for Gold, according to economists polled by Reuters, the Fed will not raise interest rates for the first time in more than a year at its June 13-14 meeting.
Last Friday, Gold closed at $1,960 per ounce, up $7 for the week.
Today: This morning the U.S. Dollar Index rallied and Gold tested its $1,950 support level. Gold continues to build a firm base above the $1,950 level.
Silver has shown strong demand and was the precious metal leader last week. With the increase in many mint allocations, we are seeing premiums dropping, which makes many of the popular investment coins and bars more affordable. Silver moved above the $24 resistance level last Thursday and closed the week at $24.35, up $0.60 for the week. The Gold-to-Silver ratio continues to tighten to 80.5-to-1.
Today: As Gold sold off, Silver broke down below the key $24 support level. It’s important that Silver stays above the $24 level for the short-term direction of the Silver price.
