GLD / Gold got big push in 2020, after the Covid selloff. And after that rally to $2000+ has mostly traded sideways/down.

CRB-etc caught up and surpassed Gold in 2022.  Now CRB and XLE may be about to slide.  Gold is waiting for a second wind. 

Gold Rally to above $2000 ahead? ... CRB-etc. since 2020: Last: $27.27 x 10.6x-ish = $CRB: $290

CRB Index, 5 years, Last: 290.41 - 3.17. -1.08%

CRB is a Commodity index,  mostly Energy,  It may be set to break its uptrend.  It may follow Gasoline lower.  Paradoxically, this could be GOOD for Gold, which in recent year has shown a negative correlation with Oil and Energy.  And moreso, inverse to prices of Gold miners, partly because oil prices are part of mining/extraction costs.

GOLD to CRB got very cheap at r-5.6x ($1845/$329). And the upturn is already underway. 

How long will the upswing last?  It may depend on whether investors prefer Gold to Oil investments.

Date-day  Gold/ $CRB : Ratio :    GLD  /  it:CRB = Ratio ($/it.C

A few months after the 2008 crash started, money shifted back into Gold ... chart

And that Gold rally persisted for Two YEARS. pushing Gold up +110% (from $66 to $139)

56VAStV.gif

I am watching for a Peak in the USD (DXY, yrH: 107.8), as a sign that Gold is ready for its cyclical run-up/ 

TYX, 30yr. Rates too:  TYX vs. DXY, USO, etc. 

DIGFX8D.gif

In the 2008-2009 period, GOLD stayed weak until the US Dollar peaked (at $88, in Oct.2008, GLD hit $66, GDX $16) > Chart with DXY

Commodities were on a tear in the first Half of 2022.  But may have PEAKED now.

GOLD Peaked in March 2022 (Gold at $2080, and GLD at 193.3), and Oil and Oil stocks may have peaked in early June.

We may now see the 2009-2010 pattern, with a weaker Dollar, and weak stocks, leading to a strong Rally in Gold.

GLD-etc. ... from Dec.2021 : 2yr: 1yr: YTD: 10d / Last: $162.3,  XLE: $70.95, IT:CRB: $26.80.

GOLD is down because...  Jay Powell has been "channeling Volcker", 

He needs lower Oil prices now to Pivot.  If not, "he will destroy the Economy."

We have been HERE before.  "The Pause that Refreshes"... Before the Big Round #

Is this Now moment (July 2022) the same as fall 2008?

When Gold paused before its final breakout above $1,000.

yRVHdIb.gif

LISTEN to the May 2008 Commodity Watch Radio podcast - think of that as being equivalent to the Gold market in late 2021.

MH interview with DF - Gold discussion portion / CWR pt.1: 1,060 views,  added to my site om May 26, 2008:

"Sentiment is getting very Bearish": Recorded about May 15, 2008 - Gold was $881, GLD $91.23 (10.17x), SPY $137.64, XLE $86.26

After than interview, Gold rallied 12% to just under $1000, $986- July 15th  (Similar to Gold's 15% rally from Jan. to March 2022.) 

Then a sharp fall into a final low of Gold $693/ GLD $66 as falling stocks scared everyone. Starting late 2008, we got a strong Gold Rally.

Is July 2022 like a Deja Vu parallel with Nov.2008 ? Starting late 2008, we got a +110% Rally, lasting 2 Years.

1cEac0q.gif

If so: Gold will rally as the USD falls, and CRB commodities and  stocks may put in a lower Low in the weeks and months to come.

GLD-etc ... 2022-update: GLD-$162.3 /DXY-$106.9=1.52x. /CRB:$26.80= 6.06x, UGL: $52.30 /SPY: $388.7= 13.5%

aUxI7ZV.gif

Next Gold Rally through $2,000, may be the one that "never looks back", like in 2008-2010.

Ratio: UGL: $52.30 /SPY: $388.7= 13.5%

Raoul Pal & David Rosenberg: The Two-Year Recession

No soft landing, thinks Rosenburg,  and the Fed may not stop pushing ST rates up until Q1-2023.

The economy is already in recession, he thinks.  The low in equities might come 2/3rd thru 2022-23,

so Second Half of 2023.

Meantime, the weak economy will help Bonds, even if short term rates go a little higher.

Brief comment from Martin Roberge (Canaccord analyst):

Bonds (OW, +2%) – head and shoulders pattern? The bond market has long been mispriced, projecting Fed cuts in H2/23 and Fed funds much below those of the Fed’s dot plot. Fed Powell has now set the record straight and dashed hopes of a pivot. As result, December 2023 Fed fund futures have closed the gap with December 2022 futures (hence unwinding rate cuts) and are only ~20bps away from the 3.8% mean projected by FOMC voting members. This means that bond yields may be approaching another cyclical top considering that through past recessions, US 10-year bond yields traded as much as 75-100bps below Fed funds.
