Short-form views on silver price moves, gold/silver ratio shifts and industrial demand trends.
in addition to being a store of value, gold is also acting as an investment
it's up ≈40% YTD
this is gold catching up to inflation and accumulated leverage
the financial system infrastructure, including monetary policies of the central banks are correlated
they're heavily exposed to the same set of assets - a lot of which are USD-denominated
this is of course extremely pro-cyclical
quick update on gold:
everything according to the plan - the thesis remains valid. now just wait and let the price action unfold 😄
use these trend lines as a guide
gold tariffs put further upside pressure for gold towards a new all time high on spot
this is in addition to the global monetary, geopolitical and fiscal positive price pressures
a significant part of the markets will be closed for the weekend. there could be a gap on reopen
you can see how accurately gold price has been respecting the trend lines and channels you've seen in my graphs for months now 😄
gold tariffs ping-pong introduced volatility, but like i wrote in my other posts - its upside price pressure
a new all time-high will arrive
new all time high for gold is near 😄
i wrote a thread about the rumored tariffs on gold and what that means for the gold price
also what's coming next
you can read the thread here ⬇️

the tariffs are not on all gold imports - just on a specific configuration - 100oz/1kg bars
this alone won't skyrocket the price of gold, but it adds to the existing breakout pressure
tariffs on gold decentivize gold imports
higher import tax is a disincentive. not sure what' the benefit to having less gold come into US
there's plenty of buyers in Asia who will happily take it. soon you will see more central banks expanding their balance sheets with gold
when you see gold hitting a new all time high very soon - just remember that it wasn't caused by a single event
gold has a growing buying pressure for monetary, geopolitical and fiscal reasons
I've written about it in depth, so search through my post history if interested
it's not only futures of course - the broader physical supply chain of gold is also affected
the more imminent impact is on users of 1kg/100oz gold bars. in the future markets the effect is much more visible and quantifiable - so it will start the price movement from there
🚀 silver price reaching 14 year ATHs
🍷 adding this to list of my predictions that aged like fine wine
the upside price action won't stop here. i explained the reasons for it and what comes next in my previous posts
stay tuned 📻
silver was another spot-on prediction ✅
2.5 months later the price is up ≈25%
silver's price uptrend will continue
when silver's price increase is in the magnitude of risky assets - it's clearly telling you something
listen to it 🦻
💾⏰ Just like with my post about the price of gold a few months ago - feel free to save & set a reminder for this one
The prediction will be correct once again
Silver Physcial Delivery Demand HIGH
CME's COMEX & NYMEX Metal Delivery Notices show a MASSIVE demand for physical silver
16.1K futures contract for delivery/physical settlement, up x3 from a year ago
A.K.A. tariffs effect on silver
Investors are HOARDING silver
Silver back to August 2020 price
After a tariffs-induced pullback of 15% today, silver is now at start of COVID prices
So much inflation that still isn't priced in
It will recover. And a lot!
🤖 I asked Grok 3 why silver is down today
DeepSearch said that this is likely due to a stronger USD
But #DXY is also down 😂
