Jeff Christian – “Why The Gold And Silver Selloff Is Fooling a Lot of Investors”

 

 

 

 

In this presentation, Jeffrey Christian of CPM Group explains the sharp pullback in gold, silver, platinum, and palladium prices, and why it should be viewed as short-term profit taking rather than the end of the bull market.

 

He looks at how futures positioning, contract roll activity, and momentum trading drove prices to record highs, and why the recent decline reflects investors locking in gains, not a breakdown in fundamentals. Jeff explains how similar pullbacks have occurred repeatedly within long-term bull markets, including past cycles where “short-term” corrections lasted weeks, months, or even years before the next major advance.

 

Jeff also looks at the political and economic developments that briefly eased investor fears, including the aversion of a U.S. government shutdown and shifts in Federal Reserve leadership expectations. He explains the effects of those factors, and why the underlying risks that drove investors into precious metals remain firmly in place.
