Gold (February) / Silver (March)
Gold, yesterday’s close: Settled at 1826.2, up 0.2 on Friday and 22.0 on the week
Silver, yesterday’s close: Settled at 24.04, down 0.21 on Friday and up 0.12 on the week
If you bought Gold on December 23rd and held through January 11th, you have made money in 14 of the last 15 years, averaging about $31.
If you bought Silver on December 20th, and held through February 18th, you have made money in 14 of the last 15 years, averaging about $1.50.
With that said, Gold was +3.8% in December and 7.3% in November, its best two-month run since April-May 2021. Rare major four-star resistance has centered on 1848.8, the 50% retracement back to the March 2022 high (from the November 22 low). We are not calling for a pullback as deep as the 1760 area, but its potential cannot be ignored, given what the U.S. Dollar Index is doing. However, on a positive note, Treasuries are also surging. At the least, if you have been long Gold and Silver, think about monetizing/capitalizing on something.
