Strength in Precious Metals

McAlvany Weekly Commentary

Here’s our weekly recap of the precious metals markets for June 6. As of this recording, here is where precious metals stand: The price of gold is flat at $2,350. Gold has been in a trading range between about $2,320 and $2,360. This is after gold peaked at $2,450. The price of silver had declined to just above $30 per ounce. Within the past week, it rose up all the way to $32.50 and dipped down under $30. These pullbacks present a couple of different opportunities to purchase precious metals: Ratio Trade in Silver The gold-to-silver ratio has widened, and silver is hovering around $30. Now is a good time to buy more silver and hold it. When the gold-to-silver ratio narrows again, you can then sell your silver ounces and use the proceeds to buy gold — effectively increasing your number of ounces of gold down the road. Dollar Cost Averaging into Gold With the recent pullback in gold, now is a good time to dollar-cost average your gold purchases. You can use our Vaulted app to purchase smaller amounts of gold and get in while the price is lower. Listen to the full episode to learn about all your investment opportunities.
