Gold has pushed much higher in recent weeks, breaking through the $1,400 level and holding. Silver has also rallied and has started to close the gap with
the yellow metal. In a recent podcast, Peter Schiff said we are seeing
signs that the investment world is starting to catch on. The psychology has shifted and investors are started to realize that the gold bull-run is for real. ここ数週ゴールドは更に値を上げた、$1,400を超えて根固めをしている。シルバーもまたリラーを続け、これまでのゴールドとのギャップを埋め始めた。最近のポッドキャストで、Peter schiffはこう述べた、我々は投資の世界で起き始めた変化の兆候を認識し始めた。心理は変化し、投資家はゴールドブルを現実のものとして認識し始めた。
A lot of it has to do with the anticipation of more easy money from the Federal Reserve.
Fed-speak continues to boost anticipation of an interest rate cut. The
only thing dampening expectations is the possibility of higher
inflation. Peter said that doesn’t matter. Inflation or not, the Fed is
cutting rates.
Last week, Fed Vice Chair Richard Clarida said, “You don’t want to wait until data turns decisively,” before cutting rates. Meanwhile, New
York Federal Reserve President John Williams said the central bank
shouldn’t leave a lot of dry powder in the keg. It should fire its
bullets at the first sign of trouble. As Peter noted, the Fed used to claim to be “data-dependent.” 先週FEDの副議長Richard Claridaがこういった、金利引下げ前に「確実なデータをえるまで待つことはない。」。それと同時にNew York FED議長 John Willamsはこういった、中央銀行は火薬庫にたくさんの弾薬を残すべきではない。問題の兆候が見えると弾を打つべきだ。Peterが言うには、FEDはかつては「データ依存」と言っていた。
Why is the Fed so anxious to cut rates now?
FEDはどうして現在金利引下げを心配するのだろう?
Obviously, the reason is the Fed is so afraid of the next recession
that they just want to do whatever they can to try to postpone that
recession from happening. It’s not like they can stop it, but they want to postpone it. And the reason is because the Fed knows there’s nothing they can do, that basically, their chamber is empty anyway. So,
you might as well shoot what you’ve got left because there’s no way
they have enough firepower to deal with this recession the way they have
been doing it. They can’t blow up a bigger bubble.
They don’t
have enough room between where rates are now and zero. And the amount of
quantitative easing that would be required to monetize the enormity of
the coming national debt is going to produce the overdose. So, all these clowns can think of is we’ve got to postpone this no matter what.”
Gold sold off a bit of its gain earlier in the week after the
consumer sentiment numbers showed a bigger expectation for inflation.
Peter said this led to the same old “brainless trade” we’ve seen over
and over based on the notion that inflation is bad for gold and good for
the dollar. The mainstream believes the Fed will adjust its policy if
inflation starts to rear its head and that will put the kibosh on rate
cuts. Peter said this isn’t the case. The consumer is right to expect
more inflation. In fact, Peter thinks we’ll get a lot more than they
expect. But the traders are wrong to expect the Fed to do anything about
it.
They’re not going to do anything about it. They’re going to
cut rates no matter how high inflation goes because they can’t stop it.
But if they raise rates, they’re going to create in their minds a
problem that is worse than inflation.
So, they would rather have inflation than the opposite, or what would be required to stop inflation, which would be a
massive financial crisis because they have to raise interest rates and
let this entire house of cards economy that they built on a foundation
of cheap money – watch the entire thing implode.”
Higher inflation is not going to be seen as bad for gold. In
fact, higher inflation is why people should be buying gold. The more
inflation, the more gold you need to buy. So ultimately, higher
inflation numbers, higher inflation expectations are going to be bought
when it comes to gold, not sold.”
The opposite is true for the dollar. The mainstream only thinks
inflation is good for the dollar right now because it believes the Fed
will rush in and defend it. Peter said that’s not going to happen. That
means the dollar will be losing value.
Peter noted that even as the price of gold dips with the daily market
ebb and flow, investors are still buying gold stocks. And as he noted
last week, silver is starting to play catch up.
Now we have all the elements that we need of a gold bull market. Before,
the problem was gold was going up by no one believed it. That’s why
silver was still going down. That’s why nobody was buying gold stocks,
because everybody expected gold to fall. People were just so
conditioned to believe that the rallies would be sold that they couldn’t
believe the breakout, so there was a lot of skepticism. We were climbing this little wall of worry. But now we’re breaking down that wall.
Now we have silver outperforming gold and we have gold stocks outperforming the metal. That’s what happens in every bull market. Silver leads gold and stocks lead the metal. That’s what we’ve got all three firing on all three cylinders. That’s it. The market is going higher. People need to get in. They need to buy physical gold and silver.”
最後の2段落だけ訳をいれました。 Big Silver-Stock Potential Adam Hamilton February 7, 2020 2689 Words The silver miners’ stocks are looking interesting. While they really lagged silver’s surge on gold’s bull-market-breakout rally last summer, their upleg since remains intact. Gold stocks’ own upleg peaked in early September. And silver itself remains wildly undervalued relative to gold, overdue to mean revert dramatically higher. When that happens during gold’s next upleg, the silver stocks have big potential to soar. Like the global silver market is vastly smaller than gold’s, silver stocks are a proportionally-little fraction of the precious-metals miners. As a small subset of a usually-ignored contrarian sector, the silver stocks often languish in obscurity. For decades there wasn’t even a silver-stock index, making sector analysis difficult. ...
最後の2段落だけ訳をいれておきます。 Gold Stocks Remain Cheap Adam Hamilton December 20, 2019 2800 Words The gold miners’ stocks have suffered a lackluster few months. That’s a disheartening contrast to their powerful summer upleg on gold’s bull-market breakout. While this healthy gold-stock correction likely isn’t over yet, the gold miners remain very undervalued relative to the metal they produce. That means they still have massive upside left in this secular gold bull. Sentiment just needs rebalancing before its next upleg. In recent months I’ve written a lot about gold’s correction, which is naturally driving a parallel one in the gold miners’ stocks. I’ve explained why speculators’ positioning in gold futures, gold’s dominant primary short-term driver, remains bearish with potential selling vastly outweighing likely buying. I’ve shown how shallow ...
最後の2段落だけ訳を入れておきます。 Gold-Stock Bull Breakout! Adam Hamilton April 24, 2020 2845 Words The gold miners’ stocks surged to a major bull-market breakout this week! Powering decisively above their years-old secular resistance is a hugely-important technical event. It proves this gold-stock bull is alive and well, greatly improves sentiment, and puts this high-flying sector on countless more traders’ radars. New bull highs fuel self-feeding bullish psychology, as speculators and investors love chasing winners. The gold miners’ stocks are essentially leveraged plays on gold, since its price overwhelmingly drives their earnings and thus ultimately stock prices. So gold-stock bulls and bears mirror and amplify gold’s own major market cycles. Today’s secular gold bull began marching in mid-December 2015, birthed from choking despair. Gold stocks’ ...
大切な数段落だけ訳しておきます。 Silver Miners’ Q4’18 Fundamentals Adam Hamilton March 29, 2019 4073 Words The major silver miners have rallied higher on balance in recent months, enjoying a young upleg. That’s a welcome change after they suffered a miserable 2018. Times are tough for silver miners, since silver’s prices have languished near extreme lows relative to gold. That has forced many traditional silver miners to increasingly diversify into gold. The major silver miners’ recently-released Q4’18 results illuminate their struggles. Four times a year publicly-traded companies release treasure troves of valuable information in the form of quarterly reports. Required by the US Securities and Exchange Commission, these 10-Qs and 10-Ks contain the best fundamental data available to traders. They dispel all the sentiment distortions inevitably surr...

This extraordinary rally started when the Federal Reserve announced it would resume expanding its balance sheet for the first time in years. The deluge of new liquidity from that quantitative-easing bond buying has again acted like rocket fuel for stock markets. After shooting vertically they are in real trouble when the Fed pulls back. In early October the flagship US S&P 500 stock index (SPX) slumped to 2888. That was a mild 4.6% pullback from late July’s latest record high. The SPX was still having a great year though, up 15.2% year-to-date at that point thanks to extreme Fed easing . After the SPX had plunged 19.8% mostly in Q4’18 in a severe near-bear cor...
