Comex gold futures are under some profit-taking pressure Tuesday morning after notching a fresh all-time record high of $1,432.50 an ounce, basis February futures, in earlier trading. February gold last traded down $3.20 at $1,412.90. The U.S. dollar index has rebounded from its daily low and crude oil futures prices have backed off their daily highs, which is adding some downside price pressure to the precious metals markets.
AuCanary: Silver reached 30.70 before 9am and then pulled back to 29.80, retracing higher to over 30 before 1:30AM EST. Currently at 11:46 Silver is priced at 30.20
For thousands of years Precious Metals (PM) such as Gold (Au) and Silver (Ag) have been utilized as real money for exchange, wealth store, and metric of value. While I am NOT an advocate of one single commodity backing our money (like a gold standard), I do believe that the price trend of PMs are the most important indicators of the value of fiat money, plus the crimes of corrupt banking corporations and governments that manipulate PM prices. The "Canary in the coal mine" is Gold - AuCanary.
