Gold Hits New All Time Highs
The big news in gold is two-fold right now; gold hit new all-time highs in several currencies and central bank demand for physical gold remains strong hitting a year-to date record in Q3 this year.

2024 Gold Forecasts Make Gold Shine Even More
LBMA This week I attended the LBMA’s Global Precious Metals conference in Barcelona. As usual it was a flurry of activity and discussion between cross sections of those involved in precious metals.

Gold Hits Two Week High As Uncertainty Grows
Overnight the gold price hit a two-week high. One of the ‘supports’ for the gold price was the release of FOMC minutes yesterday, something that once upon a time would have done a bit of a number on the price of gold. Instead, it barely blinked.

Gold Down $100? This Really Shouldn’t Be A Surprise

It’s that time of the month again when we bring in a top chart analyst to take us through what they’re seeing in the markets, right now. This month we have the brilliant Gareth Soloway. Gareth explains why he’s watching the US Dollar, what he means by “Good news is bad news” and when we […]Does A BRICS Gold Currency Really Matter?
Next Tuesday the BRICS nations will meet in South Africa for the group’s 15th summit. This could be a game changer for gold.
