In line with historical patterns of summertime slowness, gold fell 0.3% last month after gaining...
Gold rose to three-week high on Friday amid speculation that the Federal Reserve will begin cutting interest rates next year. This is after hitting a new all-time high earlier in December, proving that the precious metals bull market is still well underway, despite some longer periods of consolidation. Silver is seeing gains as well, but while gold is hitting new highs, silver is nowhere near the highs of the last bull market.
Silver is up 2.3% in 2023, seeing a big boost in November and December.
In the last bull market, gold peaked at 650% gains from the previous lows, but silver blew gold out of the water with 1,000% gains from its lows. Silver's high set during the last bull market was $50 an ounce, yet silver today is nowhere near that high... yet. Historically, silver tends to lag behind gold, and then move explosively, whether to the upside or the downside.
In 2020, we saw this pattern in action. Gold reacted strongly to the safe haven demand caused by the upheaval of the pandemic. While silver's upward trajectory held off, leading to the highest gold-silver ratio of all-time, silver spot prices jumped 48% by the end of the year, outperforming nearly every single asset class in 2020, including gold.
So, while gold seems to be taking off again, silver is still lagging behind, providing an opportunity to obtain silver at lower spot prices before it overtakes the momentum in gold. It's not possible to time the markets, but we're still at the part of the pattern where there is the most opportunity to obtain silver at these levels.
In conclusion, while gold is already poised to the next high, silver is still nowhere near the highs of the last bull market, providing an excellent opportunity to get into silver.
