2022 may be the year of Fed hawks. After tapering, they may hike rates and then start quantitative tightening. Will they tear gold apart? Now, I could exclaim that hawks are coming, but that wouldn’t necessarily give hope to anyone fighting the bearish trends in the gold market.

The start of 2021 wasn’t successful for gold: after a few days of rally, the yellow metal entered a bearish trend. 2022 looks uncomfortably similar. Will the yellow metal resume its long-term bullish trend in 2022? Well, this is what a majority of investors that took part in Kitco News’ annual outlook survey believe…

Although your calendar may say otherwise, gold is in the 1960s. The question is whether we will move into the 1970s or speed-run to the mid-2010s. Did you go overboard with your time travel and lose track of time? Probably not, but just in case, I assure you that the current year is 2021.

High inflation won’t go away in 2022. Good for gold. However, it is likely to continue to climb and reach its peak. That sounds a bit worse for gold. If 2021 was tough for you, I don’t recommend reading Nostradamus’ predictions for the next year. This famous French astrologer saw inflation, hunger, and much more coming in 2022…

Welcome, my son. Welcome to the inflationary machine. Welcome to the new economic regime of elevated inflation. That’s official because even central bankers have finally admitted what I’ve been saying for a long time: the current high inflation is not merely a transitory one-off price shock…

Santa Claus is coming to town! What will he give gold: a gift or a rod? Like most of 2021, gold has been rubbing against $1,800 this week but did not have the strength to permanently rise above this level thus, we could say that gold was rather naughty this year and doesn’t deserve gifts from Santa.

Finally, Powell admitted higher inflation risks and gold jumped above $1,800. Before anyone noticed, however, it plummeted below the key level again. Who are you Mr Powell? A reptilian or a human? A dove or a hawk?

First a pandemic, then inflation, and now an energy crisis. Should you buy gold when preparing for the winter? Brace yourselves, winter is coming! Not only does gold lack energy to fuel its rally right now, but people from all over the world lack it to fuel their operations and to heat their houses…

The Fed begins to get up steam and has finally turned its hawkish mode on. Was it something the gold bulls wanted to hear? The Fed’s full capitulation and unconditional surrender of the doves!

The inflation beast is growing stronger. Unfortunately for gold bulls, we cannot say the same about the yellow metal. Is sacrifice going on tomorrow? November readings clearly falsify central banks’ narrative about transitory inflation (which was already partially abandoned) and confirm my claim that inflation will stay longer

I have good and bad news. The good is that the price of gold rose 2% in November. The bad – is that the price of gold rose 2% in November. It depends on the perspective we adopt. Given all the hawkish signals sent by the Fed and all the talk about tapering of quantitative easing a small increase is an admirable achievement…

November employment report was mixed. Unfortunately for gold, however, it won’t stop the Fed’s hawkish agenda. The nonfarm payrolls number is much lower than both October’s figure and the market expectations – so, it’s a huge blow to those optimistic about the US economy.
