The Federal Reserve lent banks $164.8 миллиард in five days, erasing almost 50% США. central bank’s monetary tightening policy. As a result, the market expects a dovish rate hike this month, possibly around 25 базисные пункты, или even no rate hike at all after the financial calamity the banking industry has faced. According to TD Securities’ global head of commodity strategy Bart Melek, this is “good news for gold,” he сказал Новости Китко.
“Markets are concluding that we’ll see the Fed go for another 25bps increase and then probably sit on it for a while and see what happens,” Melek explained. “The view from the gold perspective is that given disruptions in the banking system and the U.S. Treasury Department’s willingness to help, we might get accommodation that allows inflation to hang around longer at a higher level.”

Bloomberg’s senior macro and commodities strategist Mike McGlone referred to gold as a “resting bull” three days ago, в марте 15. “Gold appears to be a rare resting bull market compared to most risk assets and commodities that are reverting from getting overextended, on the back of pandemic-related excess liquidity,” McGlone said in an investors’ note. “Plunging crude oil may be part of the deflationary spark for the metal to breach resistance of $2,000 an ounce.

Richard Mills, the owner of aheadoftheherd.com, explained on Friday that he believes silver’s rise is understated. “Current indications show that silver is way undervalued,” Mills сказал. “Right now, on the morning of March 17, the gold-silver ratio is 88:1, meaning it takes 88 ounces of silver to buy one ounce of gold.” Mills added that when gold reached $2,000 per ounce, “silver rallied to nearly $30 an ounce, а 147% increase.” The investor said that the silver-gold ratio just fell from over 100:1 to just over 64:1, and he opined that a significant rise in silver’s value “could easily happen again.”
Many gold and silver proponents have high hopes for the precious metals going forward. Более того, while McGlone believes gold will be affected by the current macroeconomic events, the market strategist also thinks the banking issues may be a defining moment for bitcoin (BTC). “Bitcoin may be progressing to trade more like US Treasury long bonds and gold as banks come under stress on the back of the bond-price collapse. Bitcoin sustaining above $25,000 is a clear sign of divergent strength,” McGlone твитнул.
