Moves in the precious metals market are fuc'ing insane. This has become a FFA. Gold up 40$ in three minutes. Silver up 3$ in three minutes and then down 3$ in three minutes.

One thing is certain... USD is dying and the Fed is too incompetent to save it. They will not hike rates even if their lives depend on it. It really seems fiat system will collapse. Not because Gold is 5000$, but because there is no way to stop this train reaching 10000$, 20000$, 50000$. At least not with the current Fed.

Also, having Trump as the president wanting lower rates ensures that the USD is doomed.

What have they done...

I don't see rates going up at the next Fed Meeting on January 27-28. The USD is not dead or dying; it went down 10% in May of 2025, its been holding strong since. All this doom and gloom over Trump is wrong. He has made great investments in this country that no President has made before. The US Dollar is well and living strong.

I think Gold and Silver have been underperforming for more than a decade; it is well overdue, but the physical market is getting stretched, especially in Silver. I expect some retreat soon in both precious metals. It will likely happen after this Wednesday when the Fed fails to lower rates.
