🏦37 Reasons To Buy Gold During Inflation📈🌐1. Hedge Against Inflation: Gold is often considered a hedge against inflation as its value tends to rise when the purchasing power of fiat currencies declines. 2. Store of Value: Gold has been a reliable store of value throughout history, preserving wealth across generations. 3. Limited Supply: Unlike fiat currencies, the supply of gold is limited. This scarcity can contribute to its value during periods of inflation. 4. Diversification: Including gold in an investment portfolio can add diversification, reducing overall risk. 5. Global Acceptance: Gold is accepted worldwide as a form of currency, providing liquidity and ease of trade. 6. Central Bank Reserves: Many central banks hold gold reserves as part of their monetary policy, indicating its importance in times of economic uncertainty. 7. Geopolitical Stability: Gold is seen as a safe haven during geopolitical turmoil, making it attractive when inflationary pressures are coupled with global uncertainties. 8. Negative Real Interest Rates: Gold tends to perform well when real interest rates (adjusted for inflation) are low or negative. 9. Portfolio Insurance: Gold can act as insurance in case of economic downturns or financial crises, providing a cushion for investment portfolios. 10. Long-Term Value: Investors often turn to gold for its long-term value and stability, especially during periods of economic turbulence. 11. Tangible Asset: Gold is a tangible asset, offering a level of security that digital or paper assets may lack. 12. No Counterparty Risk: Unlike stocks or bonds, owning physical gold involves no counterparty risk, as it doesn't rely on the performance of a third party. 13. Historical Track Record: Gold has maintained its value over centuries, making it a reliable asset with a proven track record. 14. Supply and Demand Dynamics: If inflation drives up the cost of goods and services, the demand for gold may increase, contributing to its price appreciation. 15. Gold as Currency: In times of inflation, when the value of paper currency diminishes, gold retains its status as a reliable currency. 16. Portable Wealth: Gold is easily transportable and can be stored in a small space, allowing for the easy movement of wealth. 17. Jewelry Demand: The demand for gold in jewelry can contribute to its value, especially in cultures where gold holds cultural or social significance. 18. Mining Costs: Higher inflation may lead to increased mining costs, impacting the supply side of gold and potentially driving prices higher. 19. Industrial Demand: Gold is used in various industries, and increased industrial demand during periods of inflation can support its price. 20. Gold ETFs: Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) backed by physical gold offer a convenient way to gain exposure to gold prices. 21. Technical Analysis: Traders often use technical analysis to identify trends in gold prices during inflationary periods. 22. Psychological Impact: Perception plays a significant role in market dynamics, and the perception of gold as a safe-haven asset can drive demand during inflation. 23. Government Debt Concerns: High levels of government debt can lead to inflation fears, prompting investors to seek assets like gold for protection. 24. Currency Devaluation: Inflation often accompanies currency devaluation, making gold more attractive as a stable alternative. 25. Real Assets Outperformance: Historically, real assets like gold have outperformed financial assets during inflationary periods. 26. Gold Mining Stocks: Investing in gold mining stocks can provide exposure to gold prices with the potential for additional returns. 27. Crisis-Driven Demand: During economic crises, there is often an increased demand for safe-haven assets like gold. 28. Monetary Policy Impact: Changes in monetary policy, such as low-interest rates and quantitative easing, can influence gold prices during inflation. 29. Central Bank Purchases: Central banks may increase their gold reserves as a response to inflationary pressures. 30. Cultural Significance: In many cultures, gold is considered a symbol of wealth and prosperity, driving demand during economic uncertainties. 31. Financial System Instability: Concerns about the stability of the financial system can drive investors towards safe-haven assets like gold. 32. Gold's Unique Properties: Gold is corrosion-resistant, non-reactive, and has unique conductivity properties, making it valuable in various industries. 33. Fear of Currency Collapse: In extreme cases, when there's fear of a currency collapse, investors may flock to gold as a reliable alternative. 34. Gold's Inherent Beauty: Beyond its financial properties, gold's aesthetic appeal can contribute to its demand, especially in the form of jewelry. 35. Long-Term Storage of Wealth: Gold has historically served as a reliable long-term storage of wealth, maintaining value over extended periods. 36. Steady Demand in Asia: Asian countries, particularly India and China, have a strong cultural affinity for gold, contributing to consistent demand. 37. Global Economic Uncertainty: Periods of global economic uncertainty often coincide with inflation, making gold an attractive option for investors seeking stability. **Disclaimer:** The information provided above is for educational and informational purposes only. -- It does not constitute financial advice, and trading always involves -- a risk of substantial losses, regardless of the margin levels -- used.

📊 Gold Headed Towards $1,855 | Multiple Signals, Short-Term TF➖ 3-Dec Gold Futures (GC1!) produced a session with a long upper wick. The session closed green but was immediately followed by multiple red high volume candles, producing a bearish pattern. ➖ 28-Dec Gold Futures (GC1!) moves below EMA10 on the 4H timeframe, confirming a lower high compared to 3-Dec. While this is happening, trading volume continues to decrease. The RSI entered the bearish zone. All these are bearish signals. When combined, they work to denote a strong potential for additional bearish action. For these signals and chart setup to be negated and be considered bullish, a break above $2,152 (last high) of multiple candles would need to happen. If there is a move to the upside that fails to reach or break this major high point, it would strengthen the bearish potential. Bitcoin (Cryptocurrency) & Gold have been correlated positively for a long while now. Thank you for reading. Namaste.

Metal Commodities Year End ReviewCOMEX: Micro Gold ( COMEX_MINI:MGC1! ), Copper ( COMEX:HG1! ), Aluminum ( COMEX:ALI1! ) 2023 is coming to an end. What are some of the biggest headlines of the year? • China’s ending of Zero-Covid gave hope to global economic recovery and an increase in commodities demand, but it was short-lived; • U.S. regional bank crisis triggered a flight to safety; • U.S. debt ceiling crisis escalated but was resolved at the eleventh hour; • The runaway inflation was contained as the Federal Reserve hiked interest rates eleven times; • House Speaker Kevin McCarthy was ousted in a history making vote; • The Israel-Hamas conflict broke out in October, and geopolitical risk intensified as shipping routes in the Red Sea were under attack by the Houthi militia; • U.S. reins in Cryptos with public trials and huge fines rendered to two large Exchanges; • Fed cut became the new market narrative, which pushes equities to record high. These events have significant impacts on commodities. Today, I will give a high-level review of metal commodities’ performance in 2023, and what lies ahead in 2024. Energy and Agricultural commodities will be covered in my subsequent writings. A Good Year for Precious Metals As of December 27th, Gold futures are up 13.2% year-to-date to $2,091 per troy ounce. The benchmark precious metal reclaims its status as the preferred safe-haven asset. • The collapses of three regional banks in March posted a potential systemic risk in the US banking system. Gold gained 13% within a month as investors bought bullion and dumped dollar-denominated assets. • Gold pulled back by 7% following the resolution of the debt ceiling crisis in early June, and the US government avoided a default of sovereignty debt. • Since the Gaza War broke out, gold gained 9% as the geopolitical crisis escalated. • Gold rises as the Fed cut narrative takes hold and investors are increasingly bullish. On December 3rd, spot gold reached an all-time high of $2,146. 2024 Outlook for Gold: Lowering interest rates is bullish for gold, as the opportunity cost to hold the non-yielding bullion would be lower, comparing to interest bearing instruments. With two ongoing regional wars, geopolitical tension is expected to remain high in the new year. This is also positive for safe-haven assets like gold. The December 19th CFTC Commitments of Traders report (COT) shows that “Managed Money” has 155,697 long positions and 47,421 short positions. The 108K net long positions indicate that speculative traders are very bullish on gold. Trade Ideas: Buying gold in the dip may be a good strategy in 2024. For example, a pullback could happen if the Fed issues a hawkish statement, or monthly inflation rate rebounds, or a cease-fire achieved in either the Middle East or Ukraine. The February contract (MGCG4) of COMEX Micro Gold Futures is quoted at 2091.6 on Wednesday. Each contract has a notional value of 10 troy ounces, or $20,916 at current price. To buy 1 contract, investors are required to deposit $830 in initial margin. Hypothetically, if gold futures bounds back to its all-time high $ 2,146, a long position would gain 54 points and $540 per contract (= 54 x $10). This would represent a theoretical return of 65% (= 540/830) excluding transaction fees. On the other hand, if gold price pulls back, the long position would lose $10 for each $1 of gold price decline per ounce. Copper Under Pressure by Gloomy Economic Outlook As of December 27th, copper futures are up 4.9% year-to-date to $3.98 per pound. The expected change in the balance of supply and demand drives copper price trend. • In November 2022, China ended a 3-year-long Zero-Covid policy. It gave hope to global economic recovery and an increase in commodities demand. Copper rose from $3.60 to $4.20, up 16% within two months. • China’s economic recovery lost steam after just one quarter. Copper prices have been trending down most of the year and touched a 52-week low of $3.55 in October. • Recent data shows the U.S. economy to be resilient, employment market strong and inflation trending down. Adding in the aggressive rate cut expectations, copper rebounded 12% to $3.98. 2024 Outlook for Copper: Below is the projected balance of supply and demand for copper, according to data from International Copper Study Group (ICSG). • 2024: supply 27.8 million tons (mt), demand 27.5mt; excess supply is 300,000 tons. • 2025: supply 28.6mt, demand 28.4mt; excess supply is 170,000 tons. As an industrial commodity, copper supply tends to be relatively stable and easy to forecast. However, its demand could vary substantially as business cycle rotates from boom to bust. The March contract (HGH4) of COMEX Copper Futures is quoted at $3.954 per pound on Wednesday. Each contract has a notional value of 25,000 pounds, or $98,850 at current price. To buy 1 contract, investors are required to deposit $4,500 in initial margin. The recent COT report shows that Managed Money has 60,873 long positions and 45,806 short positions. The net long positions are small, not a good signal on trader intention. While investors expect a soft landing for the US economy, whether the global economy could avoid a recession remains to be seen. Geopolitical tensions add to the uncertainty. I would wait for more data on copper demand before forming a trading strategy. Aluminum Taking a Hit as Demand Weakened As of December 27th, aluminum futures are up 0.4% year-to-date to $2,335 per ton. Like copper, the balance of supply and demand drives aluminum price trend. • China’s ending of Zero-Covid pushed aluminum prices up $400 within a month. • Aluminum prices have since declined and touched a 52-week low of $2,072 in August. • With good economic data and rate cut expectations, aluminum rebounded 13%. 2024 Outlook for Aluminum: The forecasted balance of supply and demand for aluminum by SMM: • 2023: supply 49.9mt, demand 50.0mt, supply shortage is 93,000 tons. • 2024: supply 51.1mt, demand 51.1mt, supply shortage is 50,000 tons. Current forecast estimates that aluminum is near supply and demand balance in 2024. The March contract (ALIH4) of COMEX Aluminum Futures is quoted at $2,375.5 per ton on Wednesday. Each contract has a notional value of 25 tons, or $59,387.5 at current price. To buy 1 contract, investors are required to deposit $2,000 in initial margin. The recent COT report shows that Managed Money has 451 longs and 1,201 shorts. The net short positions indicate that speculative traders are bearish on aluminum. I would wait for more data on aluminum demand before forming a trading strategy. To sum up , I am bullish on gold with an outlook for lower interest rates and heightened geopolitical risks. For copper and aluminum, demand outlook is uncertain depending on whether a global economic recession could be avoided. Happy Trading.

Gold is about to skyrocket according to EWTI am beginning to post on my updated/new coverage list. The first of which will be gold futures. As you may notice, this is the monthly chart. In my last Rivian post I mentioned that I start at the VERY beginning of the chart or as far back as TV has data. I wasn't blowing smoke as I believe this is the only way to ensure you don't get off in the count. Looking at the chart, you can tell I am counting this as an impulsive structure and we're in one of the most explosive parts of the long-term count. Looking at the economy, it's obvious it is going to do horribly next year. Anyone who says different is kidding themselves. This recession the fed has been trying to put off, IMHO, is about to rear its very ugly head. This doesn't mean every single stock is going to crash. Every chart stands on their own and should be looked at separately without bias or you WILL be wrong at some point. Normally when the economy is doing bad people flock to precious metals such as gold. This fares well with my outlook on the economy and the count I have applied to this chart. If the economy does tank, then I bet gold skyrockets hitting my next target box. I know it is a huge box, but zooming all the way out to the monthly time frame shows us data from 1975 until today. That's almost 50 years' worth of structure/data. I mean the cycle wave I took over 4 years to complete and grew by 773% ending at the 4.236 fib! Thats some insane extensions!! I plan on slowly rolling out this coverage list and will post a weekly and/or daily chart next, followed by the 4HR & 1HR charts, if not this week, then I will next week. With the holidays coming, I along with all of you, will be spending time with family and won't be as available. This zoomed out monthly view should give you all a better understanding on how to start these charts though, and also give a long-term multi-decade thesis on where price action will take us. Bonam Fortunam, --Tyler
