Gold Stutters as Rate Hike Odds Increase

The prices of precious metals, particularly gold, came under pressure at the end of last week as investors increased their expectations of a U.S. Federal Reserve rate hike at its upcoming policy meeting. Meanwhile, trade figures from China highlighted a sharp rise in Russian gold entering the country through Hong Kong. Spot gold in London fell as much as 1% to around $4,385 an ounce before recovering above the closely watched $4,400 mark. The decline followed the previous week’s 1.2% drop, triggered by stronger-than-expected U.S. employment data that pushed the market-implied probability of a September rate increase close to 60%.…

Study Highlights the Continuing Importance of Gold-Silver Ratio

A recent study highlighted in the Silver Institute’s latest report suggests that the gold-to-silver ratio is still a useful indicator for assessing silver’s potential price direction, despite claims that the measure has become outdated. The ratio represents the total ounces of silver required to purchase an ounce of gold at current spot prices. Historically, it has moved toward a long-term average of roughly 60:1. When the ratio rises significantly above this level, it can indicate that silver is relatively undervalued compared with gold, potentially creating room for silver to outperform. Conversely, a sharp decline below the long-term average may signal that silver is overvalued relative to gold and could face downward pressure. Currently, the ratio stands at approximately 67:1, remaining above its historical equilibrium. Research…

Greenland Mines Ltd. (NASDAQ: GRML) Completes Rare Earths Acquisition, Cementing Shift from Single Bet to Balanced Portfolio

Gold Could Retreat Further as Momentum Fades, WGC Says

The latest insights from the World Gold Council suggest that gold prices may face additional downside as the current momentum diminishes. This outlook comes amid conflicting signals from the U.S. Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve, which have created a complex environment for the precious metal. According to council analysts, the Treasury appears to favor lower yields, signaling a desire to keep borrowing costs subdued. Conversely, the Federal Reserve is focused on tightening monetary policy to curb inflation, even if that means risking economic growth. These conflicting goals have created a delicate balancing act. The Fed’s more aggressive stance, especially after Federal Reserve Chair Warsh's hawkish comments last week, has sparked market reactions. The sharp increase in the two-year…

Silver, Gold Prices Retreat as Markets React to Warsh’s Jackson Hole Speech

Silver and gold exchange-traded funds faced significant selling pressure at the end of last month as investors reacted to a shift in expectations surrounding U.S. monetary policy. Precious-metal-linked products declined sharply during the session, with some gold and silver ETFs losing more than 3%.

The latest decline has put the strong rally in precious metals under renewed scrutiny. Gold and silver have delivered substantial gains, prompting investors to reassess whether the current pullback represents a…

China Bets Big on Green Hydrogen

China is rapidly expanding its green hydrogen industry, making it one of the world’s biggest bets on a fuel seen as important to the global energy transition. Since the end of 2024, China has more than tripled its annual operational green hydrogen capacity to nearly 250,000 tons. This is more than double the combined capacity of the rest of the world. Under its latest five-year plan, Beijing aims to raise production to about 2 million tons annually by 2030. China’s strategy is supported by two major advantages: its enormous industrial base and its growing supply of renewable electricity. Industries such as steel, cement and chemicals remain difficult…

Gold Flashes New Technical Warning, Warranting Caution

Gold is showing a fresh technical warning after climbing above $4,750 an ounce as the latest surge indicates that the market’s momentum could be reaching stretched levels. Although the metal’s overall recovery remains strong, the rapid pace of gains has made the outlook more challenging for investors. Continued strength across precious metals is reinforcing the bullish trend, but elevated momentum readings point to the possibility of a period of consolidation or some profit-taking. Gold briefly rose above $4,750 last week, reaching its strongest level since mid-May, before easing back toward $4,663. Despite the pullback from the recent high, the metal…
