Just read an analysis on a site that can't be quoted here on the forum, but he believes the recent and ongoing smackdown in gold and silver has to do with the war with Iran, and more specifically, the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.

He thinks the Gulf states currently need to liquidate large portions of gold and silver because their normal cash flow derived from exporting oil and natural gas has dropped to zero.

Hadn't thought of that, but it kinda makes sense.

Since the Iran thing seems to be cooling... why is silver and gold going up?
I figured silver and gold would go up with war and down with peace?
The opposite has happened?

I agree with the above points submitted by mbabulldog and West. May I add two more factors that I follow.
The USD number. As it goes down PMs tend to rise. And my other factor I watch is the debt. I feel when this Iran thing ends and the financial numbers hit the public----->PMs "to the moon".
GGK :ld:

ETA Fuel prices will probably remain higher then the Pres wants----->higher PMs
