Chart courtesy of BullionStarCongratulations to silver bulls, copper bulls, gold bulls, S&P 500 bulls, Nasdaq bulls, Dow bulls, and US housing bulls?Did I leave anything out?
This is the most anti-climatic, stealth bull market move in #Silver I have seen.
$30.. $31+ an ounce and headlines are dormant in the financial press.
Which means, the real big front page headlines are going to be the buying wave which triggers a challenge for $50/oz this year. pic.twitter.com/L8ElgYv0rk

How high does #silver rise in this spike? The average in the chart is 150.4% (measured from the recent low). Take out 1979-80 and it’s still a double… pic.twitter.com/fb7EjMXBTS

Gold’s Strongest Move In a Year Was When the Dollar Was RisingGold and the US dollar are not as inversely correlated as widely believed. Sometimes gold and the dollar move strongly in the same direction. Let’s discuss why.

Gold’s strongest move in over a year started in March with the US dollar index generally moving higher.

Gold vs the US Dollar SynopsisContrary to widespread myth, gold is not a good US dollar hedge.With the US dollar Index at 90, gold has been at $380, $1000, $1130, and $1900.And there are times when gold and the dollar rise together.
When Does Gold Do Best?In general, gold is a poor inflation hedge. The best example is gold fell from$850 to $250 per ounce with inflation every step of the way.In the mid-to-late 1990s, everyone thought “The Maestro”, Alan Greenspan, had everything under control. In such periods, gold is among the worst assets to hold.Gold is best viewed not as a hedge against inflation but a hedge against credit stress, stagflation, and faith in central banks.
Is Everything Under Control?Hello Jerome Powell. Sorry for asking, but we need to know: Is everything under control?It seems to me the distinct message from multiple markets is that things are not under control.

“Neither party will fix the deficits. Neither party will do anything about mounting debt. No one will do anything about anything because the political system is totally broken.” Mish
That’s the message of gold.
