The October CPI data came in far above estimates suggesting inflation may be getting worse and not better.
Money flows may be turning to precious metals to hedge. Gold could reach new highs in the coming weeks, in my opinion.
Follow Up: Gold finished Friday above the October high and confirmed my outlook. Today’s breakout above $1840 (bottom chart) supports a strong run for precious metals. Throw in some easy money liquidity, and we could see fireworks over the coming weeks.
Gold prices are approaching critical resistance around $1840. An upside breakout in the coming days would be bullish, in my opinion. Failing to break out above $1840 will keep prices stuck in consolidation.
Gold is breaking above $1840 with ease as consumer prices increased 0.9% versus the expected 0.6%. This may be the beginning of a strong run if gold prices play catch-up to true (non-transitory) inflation.
Final Thoughts: That rip-your-face-off rally mentioned in last week tweet may be starting.
