GMRgold’s Precious Metals Week in Review
Week Ending November 13, 2022
A week full of news, reports and events turned out to be the catalyst Gold has been waiting on to show some signs of life coming out of a summer of slumber. Monday was lack luster in trading for the yellow metal with low volume and an $11.00 loss. Tuesday morning, election day, Gold wasted no time in vaulting straight up $42.00 seemingly on the long reported Red Wave occurring by all media sources. By midnight it was becoming clearer that the House of Representatives was lost to Republican control and that the Red Wave was more like a ripple as the Senate was still in play.
On Thursday, with no significant news, Gold continued the climb, after the short breather on Thursday, rising $47.00 more dollars. Yawning at the Jobs Report on Friday, Gold closed the week of trading at $1,771.00, a 5% increase after the alarm clock.
One way to make people love paying $4.50 for a gallon of gasoline, is to sell it to them for $6.00 for six months. The way to claim victory out of a lost election, is to convince people that the loss is going to be massive, then celebrate the seeming tiny loss. Silver stepped back from its independent performance and followed Gold lockstep in trading for the week. Opening at $20.85 and closing at $21.71 Silver continued its impressive run with 4% gain for the week. Silver stands the most gain as it is the more undersold and has fallen further behind in the physical premium than Gold has. It may be too soon to start counting chickens, but it sure looks like something may be ready to hatch.
