All developed economy central banks have come to, or are fast approaching, the end of their tightening cycles. On the face of it, many are congratulating themselves for a “job well done”. Today’s US CPI data will almost-certainly exacerbate these misconceptions. But of course not all developed banks are feeling like they may have achieved […]
There is so much going on at the moment, both politically and financially that it can be difficult to know what to focus on when it comes to managing your investments. At times like these, it’s good to try to filter-out all of the “noise” and identify the major developing trends that will have the […]
Since 1975 worldwide obesity has nearly tripled and it is now one of the leading causes of death. Despite this, rarely does someone have ‘obesity’ recorded as the cause of death on their death certificate. Instead, it might read ‘complications from Type 2 Diabetes’ or ‘cardiovascular disease’: conditions that obesity has led to. The rise […]
It is said that the term ‘bank’ comes from the Italian ‘banca’ meaning bench. This is back when we used banks as safe havens for storing multiple real assets, particularly gold. The shelves on which the gold was stored were referred to as ‘the bank’ or ‘banks’. Hence we now ‘bank’ our money and use […]
Last night GoldCore Director Dave Russell had a quick chat with Patrick Karim of northstarbadcharts.com.

Gold and silver prices have declined in recent weeks as central banks have once again turned more ‘hawkish’ than was expected at the beginning of the year. But, as with anything, these things don’t happen in a vacuum. As we describe below, monetary policy is causing major trouble across a number of sectors, who can […]
This week we bring you a short half-year update on the gold and silver price, but after that we are once again forced to ask “What Are Central Banks Playing At?”. They have all the potential to do great things like a small child (if you will) but also like a small child they keep […]
The Fed did not increase interest rates further this week, but updated projections show the committee has increased how high they expect rates will go this year.

The bitcoin versus gold debate has gone on for over a decade now. In that time regulators have been scratching their heads wondering how far they can let the cryptocurrency machine run for. “This far,” seems to be the decision this week. Meanwhile gold and silver carry on, continuing to offer a simple and unassuming […]
Those who have chosen to invest in gold bars or to buy silver coins have often done so because they fear the mismanagement of the monetary system.

The industry-leading In Gold We Trust Report was released this week. So convinced are the authors “that the monetary and geopolitical situation as well as the chart development of the gold price suggest that a showdown in gold is imminent” that the 2023 report is entitled “Showdown”. This is arguably one of (if not the) […]
It’s always good to have regular validation about decisions we choose to make. Take the decision to buy gold, for example. At the moment central bankers and economists just can’t help themselves but make statements or hold press conferences or publish papers that effectively say to gold investors ‘KEEP GOING!’. Whether it is Andrew Bailey […]

We frequently talk about the gold-silver ratio, but often the gold-copper ratio can be a more telling indicator when it comes to assessing the health of the economy. “Dr. Copper” is known for its ability to signal when the economy is ‘unwell’.

Monetary policy is being forced to ease as bank problems continue and waning economic growth Berkshire Hathaway’s annual shareholders meeting was held […]
We discuss the Federal Reserve often because the more the Fed tries to ‘undo’ its past policy mistakes and alters the markets through its poor policies, the more gold and silver prices are likely to rise! Yesterday’s meeting is an example: the more the Fed Chairman spoke the more the metals prices rose. As largely […]
