Happy Holidays From the Fed!

From The Maven Letter: 13 December 2023 I’ve talked a lot about rates in the last while. I had to because they were THE reason gold moved decisively up through $2000 per oz. and rate expectations are THE factor that will determine where gold goes from here. Today was a big rate in the world […]
A Move That Deserves Comment

From The Maven Letter: 8 December 2023 Gold has certainly made some attention-grabbing moves in the last two weeks! Most attention-grabbing were its drive up through $2000 per oz. two weeks ago and then its spike to a new all-time high of $2140, after which it immediately dropped $100.

In the February issue, I made the case that feeding 8 billion people today would lead to great opportunities. […]
No Simple Headline For This Mess…

From The Maven Letter: 16 November 2023 A few good data points sent markets higher this week. Key among those good data points were weak inflation numbers, showing CPI and all its permutation extended steady declines in October. That seems to have cemented the idea that rates have topped, which sent yields down so markedly […]
Central Banks Are Hungry For Gold

From The Maven Letter: 26 October 2023 I quickly wanted to highlight the latest numbers from the World Gold Council on central bank gold purchases. The below is from the Financial Times.  Putting it in chart form…  And remember that 2023 isn’t over yet – this year’s bar only shows Q1-Q3. It certainly […]
