Gold to Remain Well Supported

to remain

Focus on the Long Haul Buying Opportunities

the stage is set

The gold market is seeing some solid selling pressure today after the latest non-farm payrolls data cast some doubt on a Fed rate cut this month. Prices have dipped back down to the $1400 per-ounce area and the selling appears to have run its course. Sharp dips like that being seen today can potentially provide excellent buying opportunities. A dip of $20, $50, even $100 per-ounce is inconsequential over the long run and may provide investors with an opportunity to dollar-cost average. The bigger picture... Continue Reading

bullish catalyst

The benchmark S&P 500 hit a fresh all-time record today. Stocks and risk appetite are on the rise as investors remain hopeful that a U.S./China trade agreement will be reached.

Wait, What?

a divided fed

The highly anticipated Fed policy meeting has now come and gone, with Fed Chief Jerome Powell set to deliver his press conference. The central bank voted by a margin of 9-1 to hold the Fed Funds rate steady. The central bank did, however, still hint at the potential for rate cuts should conditions warrant such a move.

Just because the gold market has had limited upside in recent months does not mean that investors won’t turn to the metal if things get dicey.
