Gold/Silver: The Dominoes Effect

News Article

/

As I write this on Friday morning, August Gold futures are testing a record closing high. The geopolitical landscape began to escalate midweek with news that the U.S. planned to evacuate its embassies in the Middle East, notably in Iraq, without much additional context. This lack of information was significant; typically, we quickly learn the reasons behind such an evacuation. Not this time.

 

The announcement came unexpectedly, and no one at the White House or the Pentagon was willing to comment. At that moment, Gold’s performance appeared weak and seemed due for a pullback. After a soft CPI report, it failed to rally, stalling at resistance at 3380. However, upon this news, Gold quickly reversed course from Wednesday’s low, and after a 3% increase, it has not looked back. Navigating the Commodities markets has never been easier.

These types of movements are not uncommon. Gold has risen 70% following its breakout in March 2024 from the post-Covid high consolidation. While this is a historic move for Gold, other metals such as Silver, Platinum, and even Copper have not experienced the same level of growth. The low on Wednesday foreshadowed Israel’s attack on Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile facilities the following night. Whether influenced by geopolitics, tariffs, the fiscal debt crisis, or other evolving factors, these drivers are genuine. Timing these movements can be challenging, which increases the importance of having a solid core position and 24-hour access to liquidity—features that can only be found in futures and futures options.  

With Gold in the midst of its generational breakout, a domino effect is starting to unfold. Gold’s rise has initiated a chain reaction across the metals market. Although it has taken longer than many anticipated, with the Gold/Silver ratio surpassing 100, things began to awaken in June. We are not even halfway through the month, and Silver is already up 10% while Platinum has increased by 15%.

Performance Disclaimer

Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program.

One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points that can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program that cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results all of which can adversely affect actual trading results.

There are usually underlying, fundamental circumstances that occur annually that tend to cause the futures markets to react in similar directional manner during a certain calendar year even if a seasonal tendency occurs in the futures, it may not result in a profitable transaction as fees and the timing of the entry and liquidation may impact on the results. No representation is being made that any account has in the past, or will in the futures, achieve profits using these recommendations. No representation is being made that price patterns will recur in the future.
