Today’s metals price movements intraday ASX (over past ~8 hours) include:

  • Silver is up +0.5% to $30.41/oz Ag

  • Gold is up +0.2% to $2,762/oz Au

  • Palladium up +0.1% to $947/oz Pd

  • Nickel down -0.8% to $6.99/lb Ni

SPECIAL METAL PRICE ALERT:

  • The gold to silver ratio appears to be breaking out of its 3 year downtrend on the weekly chart

  • Such a breakout has marked the onset of at least the last 3 recessions, in 2001, 2008, and a short-lived one in 2020.

  • Will be watching for silver to outperform gold throughout rest of this week, which could push the weekly candlestick back down below the resistance trendline and thus holding the negative gold/silver trend for longer (or alternatively for silver to continue breaking down versus gold, resulting in a continued breakout above the resistance line, and the possible onset of a recession).
