Gold prices rose to a seven-week high on Tuesday, after U.S. economic data showed lukewarm inflation and nearly flat consumer spending, raising the question of whether the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates in the coming months . . . .

One of the big stories missing in the mainstream media this year is the fact that gold is up nearly 10% while the bulk of all other commodities are down – often by 10% or more . . . .

Rising demand for silver in two of the world’s largest consumers, China and India, since the beginning of this year is seen raising hopes of a better price performance for the metal . . . .

It looks like the worst is behind us. The flash crash from the 7^th of July, cleared few stop loss orders for sure and many buyers were kicked out of the market . . . .

Unlike the other big central bank buyer of gold, China, Russia is continuing to add to its gold reserves and reporting its increases . . . .

Gold picked up more than 2.4% since Monday, July 10, thanks to the fragility of the U.S. dollar. The rising momentum started last week, following the disappointing figure of U.S. CPI and retail sales while this week, U.S. President Donald Trump’s defeat helped it advance further . . . .

In an timely piece, Rickards points out how the Federal Reserve is behind the curve, has “theories that bear no relation to reality” and has “blundered by raising rates.” This is happening at a time when the U.S. economy and stock markets are very vulnerable . . . .

Sprott Inc, the precious metals-focused money manager, sees gold rising by the end of this year as weaker-than-expected economic growth drives stock prices lower . . . .

The precious metal last week took support at lower levels and bounced back to trade above the important resistance level of $1,225 after the US Federal Reserve chair Janet Yellen spoke about growth projections of the US economy and further increase in interest rates . . . .
