For decades now, investors have "fattened" their trading accounts on two American bellwether stocks — McDonald's and Coca Cola. This week, we'll look at both in terms of their ratio to Gold to see if it might be now time to rotate out of the stocks and into Gold for the years ahead.

The silver market is shifting into a much tighter situation than it appears at first glance. Behind the sometimes erratic fluctuations in futures prices, the physical market continues to tighten — slowly but surely.

It appears that highly aggressive traders—or insiders betting on confidential information—have taken out around 500,000 call options, wagering on a silver price between $900 and $1,000 by the end of the year. You may consider them reckless traders and dismiss this information…

The market continues to display a price… but fewer and fewer participants are willing to honor it in practice. The link between paper and reality is fraying, revealing an increasingly visible divide.

The Bank of France (BdF) has quietly completed the repatriation of French gold still held in the United States, bringing to an end nearly a century of partial storage abroad. The operation covered 129 tonnes of precious metal — around 5% of the country’s total reserves — previously held at the Fe...

While some banks maintain expectations of prices exceeding $6,000 per ounce, and following gold’s spectacular rise in 2025, should we expect this super-cycle trend to continue?

This week, we'll take a broader look at three ratio charts that must go the way of the bulls if the metals are to see that next leg higher.

The price of gold is currently under pressure, not because its fundamentals are being called into question, but due to forced selling.

Last week, Gold/Euro had recently completed an historic measured move that was 20-years in the making. This week, we'll return to Gold and Silver in dollars but continue to analyze the recent blowoff moves and why a retrace/consolidation is to be expected before the next major leg higher.
