- Another “traditional” US jobs report week is underway, with gold soft on “Tombstone Tuesday”, and moving towards a key buy zone for all precious metal enthusiasts.
- After surging almost 20% in a month and breaking out of the corrective channel marked by dotted lines on this daily chart, gold is staging a classic pullback towards the breakout point.
- The $4300-$4200 zone is targeted.
- As gold corrects, oil surges… and the target is the highs in the $110-$119 area.
- Mainstream media highlights what is supposedly a key relationship between oil, interest rates, and gold.
- In a nutshell, their narrative is that gold pays no interest and so a higher price of oil brings Fed rate hikes that are negative for gold.

In the 1970s, the Fed was able to hike rates to the 15% area to slay inflation… and the government could still finance its debts.
- Now, even an 8%-10% interest rate could put the government into a state of full default.
- Incredibly, the nation’s so-called leaders are ignoring this risk… and so are the gold market narrators.
- The bottom line: When interest rate hikes go from push to shove, it’s “Queen Gold” that will shove the fiat-focused government off its cliff of debt.
The Fed can afford to “talk hawk” and do little with rates, because inflation (basis the CPI, PPI, and PCE indexes) is only 3%-4%. - If oil surges not just to $110-$119, but to my long-term target zones of $200 and $300, US inflation will skyrocket and the Fed will have no choice but to hike rates into the 8%-10% danger zone… and beyond!
- The government will then have to choose between massive spending cuts and printing money. History shows that when faced with default and bankruptcy, governments almost always embrace aggressive fiat currency debasement.
- A large inverse H&S pattern is forming on the daily silver chart.
The current pullback is forming a right shoulder and that’s in sync with the price action for gold.
- President Donnie envisions 20% GDP growth… but the debt could soon grow at an even faster rate.

Like gold and silver, agricultural commodities pay no interest… yet they are beginning to skyrocket alongside oil.

A huge inverse H&S pattern is in play, and the right shoulder is a bull wedge.
- The bottom line: Massive inflation is coming. Vastly higher rates that threaten the US government’s very existence are coming. The only question is:
- Are investors prepared?
- A daily focus on the big picture is critical for investors as inflation, tariffs, war, a wildly overvalued stock market, debt ceiling horror, and empire transition dominate the investing landscape. I cover this big picture 5-6 times a week in my flagship Galactic Updates newsletter. At $199/year, investors feel the price is too low, but I’m offering a $179/15mths “special offer” that investors can use to get in on the winning action and meticulous analysis.

- What about the miners?
While precious metals (gold, silver, platinum, and palladium) can be bought now… the focus for mining stock buyers should be the $4300-$4200 target zone of the current pullback for gold.
- That could see GDX trading at about $85.
- The ADL (advance/decline line) for the Dow finally collapsed and the Nasdaq, SP500, and the mighty Dow itself are likely to follow.
- A well-deserved crash of the outrageously overvalued US stock market could help put GDX into my $85 target zone, which would also complete the formation of the right shoulder of a very bullish inverse H&S pattern. To summarize the current situation:
- All gold stock hands need to be on buy-side deck, because what lies ahead likely features 15% rates, $15,000 gold, $1500 GDX, and individual gold stocks reaching bull era valuation heights that make shareholders giddy!
Special Offer For Website Readers: Please send me an Email to freereports@galacticupdates.com and I’ll send you my free “GDXJ: Key Zones For Buy-Side Play!” report. I highlight four key GDXJ component stocks and the ETF itself, with tactics and targets for mining stock investors!
