Trade disputes boil in every corner of the world: the U.S. vs. China; the U.S. vs. the EU; India vs. Pakistan; and Japan vs. South Korea.

Manufacturing constricts in the four largest economies—the U.S., China, Japan, and Germany—and the yield curve inverts to the worst level since 2007.^[1]

Investor optimism disappears from Wall Street after an August rife with intense stock market volatility. In its place? FEAR.

Investors are finally feeling the impact of the protracted trade war with China and onset of the long overdue market correction and downturn where it hurts the most: their portfolios. And they’re scared. From Wall Street to Main Street, investors are rushing to the safety of precious metals, setting off what’s expected to be an UNPRECEDENTED BULL MARKET.

Prices for gold, silver, platinum, palladium, and rhodium have only one direction to go: UP! Will you seize the opportunity to buy before they do?

Precious Metals Prices Surge on Safe-Haven Buying

“‘People are looking basically for resources that they know are going to have a value 20 years from now, or 30 years from now, as they age. That is clearly a fundamental force that is driving’ market moves.” — Former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan in an interview on September 4, 2019

Prices for gold and silver surge. Rhodium roars higher. Palladium keeps climbing. Platinum market conditions are ripe for a rally.

How high are precious metals prices? Even more importantly, where are they headed?

Gold Prices Skyrocketing

I think we’re in the third and final phase of the gold market that’s started in 2001, and this will be the most explosive phase for gold.

–Frank Giustra, chairman of Leagold Mining

^[2][3][4][5]

Why is Giustra so bullish on gold? Because we’re finally seeing the fallout from central banks’ drastic measures to rescue markets after the last financial crisis. That the Fed has no exit strategy for quantitative easing, except more QE—FOREVER.

We’re seeing it right now with the latest interest rate cut. Once markets realize historically low interest rates are here to stay, GOLD PRICES WILL KEEP GOING UP. And they won’t stop!

Silver Prices Predicted to Outperform Gold

You would expect silver to outperform gold given the fact that it has double the volatility of gold.

—Bart Melek, head of global strategy at TD Securities.^[6]

^{[7][8][9][10]}

Melek explained that silver is catching up to gold. With U.S. dollar drops, lower interest rates, and stock market volatility, he expects the white metal to hit $19 to $20 quickly.

Read our “Silver Price Forecast 2019” for an in-depth look at the market movers for silver this year.

Platinum Group Metals Prices Rising

All of the precious metals have been moving higher over the past months as the sector has outperformed almost all other asset classes. Even platinum has joined the bullish party.

—Andrew Hecht, commodity and futures trader and analyst and author of the Hecht Commodity Report

Platinum Prices Set to Breakout

The view that these investors are taking is that there will ultimately be more demand from the automotive sector and supply looks to shrink. For a lot of investors it just looks like everything is pointing in the right direction for platinum.

—Trevor Raymond, director of research for the World Platinum Investment Council (WPIC)^[11]

^{[12][13][14][15]}

The WPIC reported “unprecedented investment demand” in the platinum market during the first half of 2019. The 145,000-ounce jump in investment demand offset declines in automotive and retail platinum consumption.

The organization predicts investment purchases to rise to 900,000 ounces for the year, as many investors are anticipating a switch to platinum from palladium in the automotive sector due to its lower price-point.^[16]

Platinum Investment Demand 2019

Platinum is way undervalued based on its benchmarks. Because of its strong correlation to gold I think we can still see higher prices.

—Bart Melek, head of commodity strategy at TD Securities.^[17]

Palladium Prices Keep Climbing

The precious metals market is about to resume a rally, in our view, on the back of a surge in the palladium price. For the first time in five years, the Bloomberg Precious Metals Spot Subindex is poking above its 72-month average. It may be a better bullish broad-market indication if the recent visit above $1,500 an ounce in palladium marks a peak.

—Mike McGlone, senior commodity strategist at Bloomberg Intelligence.^[18]

Analysts expect palladium prices to pullback a bit this year and next as industry and investors take advantage of bargain platinum prices. However, the forecast 2019 average price of $1,350 for palladium is the highest ever on record, so demand and prices should remain relatively robust.^[19]

Runaway Rhodium Prices

They are putting rhodium in everything. Because of higher environment standards, they are throwing more and more rhodium in converters. I don’t see the big automakers stopping this trend anytime soon and the supplies they need are just not there.

—Matt Watson, president at Precious Metals Commodity Management^[20]

^[21][22][23]

Rhodium has seen strong demand from the automotive sector this year because, unlike palladium and platinum, it can be used in both diesel and gasoline engines. However, with no primary rhodium deposits in the world, supplies of the byproduct of nickel and platinum mines remains small and non-respondent to price swings.^[24]

Given this supply and demand equation, some analysts foresee rhodium prices reaching or surpassing their all-time high of approximately $10,000, which was reached in 2008.^[25]

Smart Investors Safeguarding Their Wealth with Precious Metals

Safe-haven assets rule when investor fears turn into market realities—RIGHT NOW.

But, with $17 trillion in government debt globally yielding less than zero percent and analysts proclaiming Bitcoin is “no longer a safe-haven asset,” only precious metals are shining.^[26][27]

Gold Prices vs. 10-Year Treasury Bond Yields

And they’ve caught investors’ attention: prices for gold, silver, and the platinum group metals are surging due to sudden and rampant demand.

What does this mean for those who’ve yet seek the safety of precious metals? Their window for affordable portfolio protection is closing—and fast!

Key Points:

• Gold and silver prices are roaring to record highs, providing better returns than stocks.
• Big banks forecast $2,000-an-ounce gold.
• Bulls jump into the market! Miner stocks and silver prices breaking out.

Gold is a stable source of value with thousands of years of trust among humans supporting it,

—JP Morgan Commodities and Rates Strategist Craig Cohen^[1]

Amid calls by big banks to ditch the dollar and buy gold and silver; an inverted U.S. bond yield curve; and $15 trillion worth of bonds with negative rates, the yellow metal is shining as the ultimate safe-haven asset.^[2][3][4] Flirting with a six-year high at $1,518.40 and already trading above $2,000 in Canada in mid-August, gold prices keep ascending. And, the consensus among major financial institutions is that $2,000-an-ounce gold isn’t far off.

‘If a window of opportunity appears, don’t pull down the shade.

–Tom Peters, American Author

Key Points:

• Gold Prices Are Rising FAST! Up about 11 percent in the last 60 days, gold prices could hit an ALL-TIME high this year.
• Supplies of Gold Coins Are Dwindling. Not since gold prices peaked in 2011 have we seen such low supplies of coins. Investors who wait until the next crash hits could end up paying a premium for portfolio protection, said an industry insider.
• The Next Gold Rush Is Right Around the Corner. With Fed Chairman Jerome Powell expressing concern about everything from the economy to the national debt to the trade war and inflation, market conditions could soon send the masses running into gold, triggering a massive gold rush.

The time has come when rumors about the next economic downturn become realities the Fed factors into monetary policy. When gold prices hit multi-year highs and then keep going up. When scarcity grips the precious metals trade and suppliers start calling brokers in search of gold coins.

Yes, it’s here again. And, like last time, only a small band of savvy investors and smart money see through the sham of the soaring equities market, take their profits, and insure their wealth with gold to avoid high premiums.

Will you be one of them?

Gold Prices Are Rising FAST!

Gold is golden. Not only have we broken out from a year-long trading range to the upside, the path of lower rates around the [world] is going to keep the market strong. Add in a spattering of geopolitical risk factors and the yellow metal is poised to move higher.

–Phil Flynn, senior market analyst with Price Group Futures

• The price of gold shot to $1,422.85 on June 25, a more than 6-year high.
• Gold prices have increased nearly 11 percent in the last two months.
• In a recent survey, 59 percent of Wall Street pros predicted gold prices to rise, and 54 percent of the public polled did too.^[1]

Supply of Investment Coins Running Out

I have never seen demand so strong for investment coins while the stock market is still moving to new highs on a regular basis. Supplies of available investment coins are dwindling very quickly. I have suppliers calling me with relatively small amounts when they become available. That’s never happened in nearly 20 years I have been doing this.

–Steve Rand, Senior Advisor at SBC

U.S. Mint sales of American Eagle gold coins spiked 25 percent from May to June, and it’s the same story at SBC.^[3] Gold investment coins are flying off the shelves. Suppliers are out of stock and even calling our advisors trying to find them, which is totally unprecedented. All it will take is for stock market volatility to return and the Fed to slash rates for the window of opportunity to protect your portfolio without paying a premium to close.

Gold Rush Right Around the Corner

‘Many FOMC participants saw that the case for a somewhat more accommodative monetary policy had strengthened. Since then, based on incoming data and other developments, it appears that uncertainties around trade tensions and concerns about the strength of the global economy continue to weigh on the U.S. economic outlook.’ -Fed Chairman Jerome Powell in his testimony before the U.S. House Committee of Financial Services on July 10, 2019.[4]

The Fed Chairman’s statement says it all: financial and economic market conditions are ripe for the next gold rush.

But, Powell’s words are proving dangerous for many investors. They see potential interest rate cuts as a sign to stay in an overheating stock market instead of a warning to sell and secure their money with gold. The DOW soaring to an ALL-TIME high of 27,000 points was not an indicator that equities had peaked for them. No, these investors, blinded by the optimism of a record-long bull run, think stocks could go even higher. Like last time, they’ll get burned TWICE: losing on equities and then paying steep prices for gold. Just wait and watch.
