That\u2019s the daily gold chart. After bursting upside from a small symmetrical triangle pattern, gold has rallied to about $1122.<\/li>\n<li>The 14,7,7 series Stochastics oscillator is overbought now. Gold enthusiasts should cheer for higher prices, but be open to the possibility that a small and sharp correction could start <i>now.<\/i><\/li>\n<li>A pullback to the triangle apex in the $1090 area is not just possible but <i>likely<\/i>, but the longer term charts suggest gold has started a <i>major upside rally.<\/i><\/li>\n<li>Please <a href=\"http:\/\/www.graceland-updates.com\/images\/stories\/15aug\/2015aug18gold2.png\">click here now<\/a>. That\u2019s the weekly gold chart. In the big picture, gold has essentially been in a drifting rectangular pattern, with a slight downside bias.<\/li>\n<li>Note the superb position of the 14,3,3 series Stochastics oscillator.<i>Sizable rallies ($150 &#8211; $250) often follow set-ups like the one that is currently in play.<\/i><\/li>\n<li>While FOMC-linked short term weakness is likely, the August \u2013 December time frame is typically gold\u2019s <i>strongest part of the year, particularly if the monsoon rains in India are good.<\/i><\/li>\n<li>They have been excellent. As a result, farmers appear set to buy sizable amounts of gold in the coming months.<\/li>\n<li><i>During gold\u2019s strong season, Indians can buy as much gold as all the world\u2019s investors now hold in the SPDR gold fund.<\/i><\/li>\n<li>Most gold community analysts think higher interest rates are negative for gold prices. I strongly disagree, and so do many of the world\u2019s top bank economists.<\/li>\n<li>On that note, please <a href=\"http:\/\/www.graceland-updates.com\/images\/stories\/15aug\/2015aug18cz1.png\">click here now<\/a>. Clearly, Commerzbank bank\u2019s Carsten Fritsche shares my view on gold and rate hikes.<\/li>\n<li>I believe the Fed is very concerned about Western government spending, <i>particularly in America<\/i>. Rate hikes lower T-bond prices. They force institutions to move liquidity flows away from the public sector,<i>and into the private sector.<\/i> Money parked in T-bonds and wasted in government entitlement programs does not boost money velocity, which is required to boost GDP. I think Janet is preparing to pull the plug on the US government\u2019s multi-decade \u201c<i>spending gone wild<\/i>\u201d mindset, and she\u2019ll do it with <i>rate hikes.<\/i><\/li>\n<li>Higher rates also give banks tremendous incentive to make more loans. Those loans can significantly boost bank profits, and strengthen the financial system (slightly). <i>For gold investors, the great news is that the loans can reverse declining money supply velocity, and raise the rate of inflation. <\/i><\/li>\n<li>I think Janet Yellen should raise rates in September,<i> but whether she hikes in September or December doesn\u2019t really matter. <\/i>Also, please<a href=\"http:\/\/www.graceland-updates.com\/images\/stories\/15aug\/2015aug18duty1.png\">click here now<\/a>. India\u2019s Prime Minister wants the UAE to invest USD $1 trillion into India. The UAE wants India to cut the gold duties, <i>and a cut looks more and more likely in the coming months.<\/i> In addition, Shanghai appears to be ready to launch a gold fix by the end of the year. These three key \u201c<i>traffic lights<\/i>\u201d for gold (US rate hikes, Indian duties, Shanghai gold market infrastructure) seem ready to turn <i>bright green!<\/i><\/li>\n<li>Please <a href=\"http:\/\/www.graceland-updates.com\/images\/stories\/15aug\/2015aug18si1.png\">click here now<\/a>. That\u2019s the daily silver chart<i>. <\/i>Rate hikes that ramp up money supply velocity could be one of game changers that silver investors have been patiently waiting for.<\/li>\n<li>A decent inverse head &amp; shoulders pattern is forming, and a rate hike would likely be the catalyst to activate an upside breakout.<\/li>\n<li>Please <a href=\"http:\/\/www.graceland-updates.com\/images\/stories\/15aug\/2015aug18gdx1.png\">click here now<\/a> . That\u2019s the GDX daily chart. It\u2019s not as overbought as the gold and silver bullion charts. There\u2019s room for the rally to continue, even if bullion swoons a bit.<\/li>\n<li>Please <a href=\"http:\/\/www.graceland-updates.com\/images\/stories\/15aug\/2015aug18gdx2.png\">click here now<\/a>. That\u2019s the GDX weekly chart. Note the \u201c<i>epic<\/i>\u201d rise in trading volume that has occurred since July of 2013.<\/li>\n<li>The 14,3,3 series Stochastics oscillator has crossed to a buy signal, and has yet to rise above the 20 line. That implies tremendous potential for higher prices.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0Since gold stocks began declining in 2011, I\u2019ve used my unique pyramid generator to systematically and methodically double my overall gold stocks position, both for myself and the funds I manage.<\/li>\n<li>In contrast, most gold stock fund managers have liquidated massive amounts of stock over the past two years. They may have given bullish forecasts and tried to keep a stiff upper lip, but their liquidity flows tell a horrific story of liquidation and capitulation.<\/li>\n<li><i><i>Their selling probably magnified the decline.<\/i><\/i>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>As with bullion, the overall GDX price action since 2013 has taken the form of a <i>drifting rectangle.<\/i> This has been accompanied, ironically, by what I consider to be very emotionally charged statements from gold stock analysts. Predictions for wildly higher and dramatically lower prices have not played out.<\/li>\n<li>That\u2019s because gold is an asset in \u201c<i>flux<\/i>\u201d. US financial system risk is declining (but not gone). Deflation is ending, and inflationary road signs are clearly appearing. Rate hikes, a duty cut in India, and a Chinese gold fix are imminent. The downside bias of the drifting rectangle in gold, silver, and related stocks is ending, because the fundamental drivers of it are changing quite dramatically. <i>All hands now need to be on the accumulation deck, of the good ship called\u2026. gold!<\/i><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana;\">Aug 18, 2015<br \/>\nStewart Thomson<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana;\">Graceland Updates<br \/>\nwebsite: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gracelandupdates.com\/\">www.gracelandupdates.com<\/a><br \/>\nemail for questions: <a href=\"mailto:stewart@gracelandupdates.com\">stewart@gracelandupdates.com<br \/>\n<\/a>email to request the free reports: <a href=\"mailto:freereports@gracelandupdates.com\">freereports@gracelandupdates.com<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/commonstockwarrants.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-52343\" src=\"http:\/\/commonstockwarrants.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/picasion.com_da9b3f8c7d75d63cb5036c424523515f.gif\" alt=\"picasion.com_da9b3f8c7d75d63cb5036c424523515f\" width=\"300\" height=\"250\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gold &amp; Silver: Three Green Lights Stewart Thomson email: stewart@gracelandupdates.com email: stewart@gracelandjuniors.com email: stewart@gutrader.com Aug 18, 2015 &nbsp; The FOMC minutes release tomorrow should bring some short term weakness to global gold prices, but I expect many individual gold and silver stocks to continue their strong rallies.
