This Week's Headlines: |
Last week, Trump went tariff crazy and safe-haven buying of Gold drove up the price to $3,370 per ounce. Gold closed the week at $3,357 per ounce, up $23 for the week. But what is really important is that Gold moved above the key $3,350 per ounce resistance level. If Gold can stay above that level the first two trading days of next week, it would mean we are on the way to $3,400 pretty quickly.
A combination of a weaker U.S. Dollar (reaching 96.39), increased demand from central banks (especially China) and investor safe-haven buying in the Middle-East and Asia is resulting in massive amounts of Gold buying on any drop. Plus, increases in U.S. unemployment claims data is providing strong support for the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates.
Key Economic data to watch this week:
The week of July 14th to 18th, 2025
- Tuesday: Consumer price index
- Wednesday:June Producer Price Index (PPI)
- Thursday: June Initial jobless claims update
June U.S. Retail Sales
- Friday: June Housing starts
Today: Gold has traded today between $3,352 and $3,375 per ounce, starting to build a firm base above the $3,350 level. Most of the demand for Gold is coming from Asian markets. Gold remains on its bullish track (up 28% in 2025) to the $4,000 level by year-end.
Last Tuesday, Trump announced a 50% Tariff on Copper, effective August 1, 2025.
“Copper is necessary for Semiconductors, Aircraft, Ships, Ammunition, Data Centers, Lithium-ion Batteries, Radar Systems, Missile Defense Systems, and even Hypersonic Weapons, of which we are building many. Copper is the second most used material by the Department of Defense.”
By the end of last week, the Copper price jumped 10% after Trump’s announcement.
Silver, a byproduct of Copper mining, reached a 13-Year HIGH last week of $39 on heavy demand before seeing some weekend profit taking. Silver has definitely become the leader in the precious metals index. I may have underestimated the strength of the Silver market, and my original estimate of $40 by year-end is definitely low. I now believe, Silver will trade between $38 and $40, building a firm base in July and August, and will break above $40 in September.
Silver closed the week on Friday at $38.67, up $1.87 per ounce (5%) for the week.
The Silver-to-Gold Ratio moved lower to 85.79-to-1.
Today: Silver continued to move higher in Asian and European trading, reaching a high of $39.14 before seeing some light profit-taking. I am seeing sizeable demand for physical Silver coins and bars as well as future contract in Asia and Europe. Right now we are seeing a 34.20% in the Silver price since the start of 2025.
