Precious Metals Are on the Move

Posted on

The Wall Street pros who said gold would have a good year got it right. For the past six weeks, the price of gold has climbed straight up. In fact, the price of gold recently touched a major level that many traders and investors watch: $1,300 an ounce.

Why is this important?

The $1,300 level is a major “psychological” and “technical” area for gold, and the recent touch of that zone marks the first time since mid-June that gold has traded that high.

Day traders have been “testing” the $1,300 an ounce level in recent days. The price of gold creeps toward that level then falls back slightly.

Gold is gearing up for a big, potentially explosive move.

With everyone watching the $1,300 an ounce level, once that falls it will trigger massive buying. Traders are looking for a fast move to the $1,325-$1,330 an ounce area and could hit the $1,350 level within two months.

Silver isn’t far behind. The price of silver roared up to the $16.00 an ounce level in early January, its highest level since mid-July.

Some Wall Street pros expect silver could spike as high as $16.50 in the next month.

With the U.S. government in political gridlock – and partially shut down, a perfect storm is brewing. The economic and financial conditions are supportive for a big move higher in precious metals.

What does this mean for you?

There’s never been a better time to buy physical gold and silver. This is a rare opportunity to accumulate assets with true, long-lasting value.

Here’s 4 reasons the World Gold Council recently cited that make gold a valuable strategic asset for investors:

  1. A source of return.
  2. Low correlation to major asset classes in both expansionary and recessionary periods.
  3. A mainstream asset that is as liquid as other financial securities.
  4. A history of improved portfolio risk-adjusted returns.

Gold is recognized in every country around the globe as having value.
