The U.S. Treasury bond-buying program is impacting the markets, with potential implications for the dollar and precious metals, notably gold and silver.

The silver/gold ratio indicates a major move ahead for silver, which has already surged 10% in a week to around $27. Additionally, charts of the gold-to-US money supply and gold-to-US government debt ratios show breakthroughs, suggesting a massive bull market for gold ahead.

A gloomy outlook: inflation is set to remain persistently high in Europe. We've been saying this for a long time. A Natixis study supports this view and identifies several factors (which we re-rank in order of importance) driving up prices in the long term.

This week we'll look at a couple of charts of the silver/gold ratio that indicate silver may be about to lead gold during the next leg higher.

In a January 2024 publication, JP Morgan unveiled its outlook for the gold price. The world's leading bank, with a market capitalization of over $500 billion, stated that “a cutting cycle is expected to be positive for bullion and supportive of a rally in prices in the second half of 2024”.

Janet Yellen and Jerome Powell acknowledge mistakes on inflation. The Fed, and now the Treasury, are now preparing the markets for higher inflation, propelling gold and silver to new highs.

All Empires die without fail, so do all Fiat currencies. But gold has been shining for 5000 years and as I explain in this article, Gold is likely to outshine virtually all assets in the next 5-10 years.

Gold set a new daily high in US Dollars just shy of $2,150. For those who have been holding the yellow metal for long, now might seem like an opportune time to sell. However, I'd like to show you evidence that the recent move in Gold may well be just the start of something much bigger!

Gold is breaking records in dollars, but also in euros. In Japan, gold is reaching dizzying heights: the depreciation of the currency is even more pronounced in the land of the rising sun.
