Not suggesting that there's a political component, but investors seem to be heading for equities right now...

The gold market was so high since gold was being used as offset to sanctions on Russia. No one wanted Russian rubles but they gladly took Russian gold. Since a new president got elected there is a perception that the U.S. will drop sanctions against Russia and rubles can be traded again. It's really simple. Time to sell gold and wait a few months to buy it again.

Of course there's a political component.

Always a dozen reasons on any given day to explain either a drop or a gain. Looks to me like a strong bull market, for reasons not really clear yet. Reasons become clear later near the top. For now looks like sharp quick pullbacks.

Whatever jbuck. I'm only interested in the value component. Metals have been too precious lately.

While we do not discuss politics here, it is okay to acknowledge their effect on the market. It is also okay for you to say what you said. You are trying to keep us focused on what we do discuss here and for that I thank you.

My 2 cents....so what? It's pointless to get caught up in the day-to-day or week-to-week ups and downs of the metal prices. If you have a stash of 500 ounces and silver goes down $1/ounce, guess what? You still have 500 ounces. And when silver or gold go down in price, I see it as a buying opportunity.

Looks like I'll have to wait a while for $1200. Gold price is more resilient than I'd hoped for. Sigh.

Indeed. If it were that easy we would all be rich.

Don't see metals dropping with geopolitical risk and deficit spending. Days of $1200 gold is long gone. Supply and demand will not allow it to drop like that with all the central banks buying.

I know psuman08. I'm just mocking a phrase that diehards used to use here. It was an excuse for not buying when it was at $1400. I can remember buying and selling at $400.
it's the same now as it was then. If you want to own gold you have to step up and pay for it.

IMO that long term "roof" on gold, stretching all the way from Aug-Sep 2011 high @ $1920, to Aug 2010 high @ $2070 and Mar 2022 high @ $2065 and May 2023 @ $2059 was broken by this latest surge starting just Feb 2024. I doubt gold will ever spend much time below $2000 again.
