7/6/2022:Strong dollar puts gold on sale

Precious metals and summer doldrums Dollar exceptionally strong - for now Inflation continues to be red hot Updated precious metals charts The silver squeeze is returning $20 Liberty gold - scarce and undervalued
Greetings!
The first half of 2022 has seen carnage in almost every market, with both stocks and bonds suffering historic selloffs under the combined threats of raging inflation, slowing global growth, and the lingering pandemic.
Gold, however, has held up remarkably well. While the S&P 500 tumbled 20% and the US Aggregate Bond Index fell nearly 10%, bullion posted a slight gain during the first two quarters of the year. In other words, gold is admirably doing its job, holding its value while most other assets are losing theirs.
As Q3 begins, the dollar is on a roll. Global flights to safety in currency markets have lifted the buck to new 20-year highs, driving down the prices of many commodities and putting gold and silver temporarily on sale.
In this new video edition of AGE Gold Commentary, I explain the dominant forces in the market today and how strength in the dollar is creating opportunities in gold and silver that should not be missed. I also discuss the coming supply crunch for silver and the best ways to take advantage of today’s low prices.
