Gold and Silver in 2024 – Who Got It Right?

Gold and Silver in 2024 – Who Got It Right?

Last night, I attended the Annual LBMA Dinner in London, joined by representatives from central banks, refineries, depositories, and international bullion dealers such as GoldCore. This event is always insightful, but this year’s discussions were particularly compelling given the significant price movements over the past 12 months. As expected, conversations turned to the role of […]
Why Gold Should Get Your Vote

Why Gold Should Get Your Vote

I write to you less than 24 hours before Ireland heads to the polls to decide who will lead the country, as the term of the current coalition government—comprising Fine Gael, Fianna Fáil, and the Green Party—comes to an end. At present, the economy—and by extension, the incumbent government—is feeling buoyant thanks to robust corporate […]

Jim Rickards: Is AI in Finance Leading Us To Crisis?

What will AI do to life as we know it? This is the question dominating so many platforms at the moment. From company boardrooms to government debates, the power of AI is something that is scaring and impressing in equal measure.  So it was with interest when I spoke to James Rickards about his new book, […]

Chris Vermeulen: Is The Gold Rally Over?

What has President Trump’s victory done to gold and silver? Well, gold and silver both took a pretty big hit yesterday but this is a ‘news driven move’ according to my guest this week on GoldCore TV. Chris Vermuelen joins us this week, and what a great time to have him on.  I asked him if the US […]

Budgets, Scams and Gold Investment 

How much higher will gold go? Yesterday it was within striking distance of $,2800, and whilst it may have pulled back earlier on today on the back of some technical selling, we believe the next week could hold yet more new highs.  The coming days will be pivotal for shaping the future of risk sentiment and consumer […]
Is Now The Right Time To Buy Gold Coins?

Is Now The Right Time To Buy Gold Coins?

Towards the end of last month gold futures passed the giddy heights of $2,700. This move signalled a 42% rise in the price of gold since October 2022. And it wasn’t a gradual climb either in the 6 weeks or so before it had climbed from $2,400. Since then gold has experienced a small correction, […]
I Would Rather Hold Gold, Not A Gold Backed Currency!

I Would Rather Hold Gold, Not A Gold Backed Currency!

Earlier today data on US benefit payments was released and whilst it was weaker than previously, gold did not appear to really respond. Gold appears to have settled itself into a new holding pattern at these elevated levels, so disinterested it appears to be in economic releases. However, we will see what happens tomorrow when Non-Farm Payrolls data […]
Gold And Silver Are Breaking Records

Gold And Silver Are Breaking Records

What a week. At the time of writing gold is around $2,670 having pulled back slightly better than expected US consumer data. This morning December gold futures hit $2,708. And to think that just three weeks ago Goldman Sachs were saying we might see $2,700 gold next year. Silver continues to delight, reaching the highest price level […]
Gold Hits Another Record High

Gold Hits Another Record High

It has felt like we have been talking about the Federal Reserve rate cut for months and months. Finally we have something to say about it: The Fed decided to cut rates, and they cut rates by 50 basis points. Gold responded in true form and touched another record high.  At the time of writing gold […]

Gold or Silver: Common Questions from New Precious Metal Investors

Earlier on today the European Central Bank announced a 25 basis point cut as they press on with their plans to bring interest rates down. This move surprised absolutely no one.  In response gold has been testing new highs against the euro. At the time of writing it looks like it could push through April’s all-time high. Elsewhere, gold has been testing […]
