Gold just lost about $40 over a couple of sessions, after setting yet another all-time high and threatening to close above $2,700 on a spot basis. Frankly, it looks like this bout of weakness could last a while. Let’s take a look at why, suggests Brien Lundin, executive editor of Gold Newsletter. 
Sometimes an investment outperforms by falling less. That’s what’s happened earlier this week when US equity indices sold off heavily while gold lost only a fraction of a percent. This isn’t just a short-term trend. The markets are always telling a story, and right now they’re saying that investors want to own gold, counsels Brien Lundin, executive editor of Gold Newsletter.
Gold and silver both nose-dived last Friday thanks to a surprisingly good jobs report and news that China didn’t buy gold in May. Both rebounded a bit, but the status of central bank buying (and the People’s Bank of China specifically) going forward remains a big question mark, says Brien Lundin, editor of Gold Newsletter.
As someone who has followed the markets for a very long time and learned from many of the smartest investors to play the game, I’ve learned that one thing you never do is say these words: “This time is different.” But I’m saying it now. The current gold market is like nothing we’ve seen before, with different drivers and different results, counsels Brien Lundin, editor of Gold Newsletter.

Executive editor of Gold Newsletter Brien Lundin and editor of Gold Charts R Us Omar Ayales discuss the current "golden era" in precious metals and investment opportunities. Lundin highlights central bank buying, de-dollarization efforts, and potential U.S. investor participation as gold prices rise. He predicts silver outperforming gold and recommends junior mining stocks. Ayales focuses on the shift to an inflationary environment, global fragmentation, and increased gold holdings as a reserve asset. Both experts note the lack of U.S. investor participation as a bullish sign and provide price targets for precious metals. 

The Fed is nearing the end of its rate-hike campaign, with three powerful factors preventing any further tightening. I'll show how this event will prove extraordinarily bullish for metals not just because of looser monetary policy, but also because Powell and the FOMC will have failed in their goal to bring inflation down to their target levels.
Inflation has peaked—for now—but it looks unlikely to ever drop as low as the Fed's target level, yet the central bank has apparently done everything it can do without breaking the markets, the financial system and the economy. What are the investments that can beat inflation over the long term, especially with a powerless Fed? Our panel will provide strategies and specific picks.

Though the shiny metal has been a means of payment and wealth transfer for over 5,000 years, gold's days are now numbered according to many experts due to the augment of digital currencies—and specifically—the granddaddy of them all, bitcoin.

But, other experts believe that powerful macro and monetary drivers make much higher gold prices inevitable, with the turning point appearing to be imminent thanks to strict limitations on what the Fed can do to fight inflation.

Watch LIVE as Bill Taylor, Brien Lundin, and Robert Helms debate whether gold is still the go-to investment for long-term store of wealth or if digital currencies—and specifically bitcoin—are where the future of investing lies!
