Craig Hemke - Gold Strength To Start The Year
Craig Hemke, Editor of TF Metals Report joins us to focus on the strength in the gold market to start the year.
We explore the strength of gold, currently trading close to its all-time highs, and how central bank demand is underpinning these higher prices. Craig explains the shallowness of recent gold corrections and what to watch for in gold futures and spot prices, particularly as contracts shift from February to April and June. We also analyze the role of the dollar index and its impact on gold's performance, drawing parallels to market behaviors seen in 2016 and 2017.
The discussion shifts to the broader influence of the new administration’s economic policies on precious metals and Craig's insights on silver’s recent uptrend and future prospects. The conversation takes a closer look at the significance of major gold miners like Newmont and Barrick, highlighting their operational costs, influence on market sentiment, and the importance of their performance for attracting more substantial investment interest in the sector.
To wrap up we delve into the upcoming Fed meeting, the potential surprises that could arise from it, and how changes in interest rates might affect the precious metals market.
