Over the last six months, gold has been on an upward trajectory, registering fresh all-time highs nearly every month. However, the yellow metal\u2019s price has faced some resistance since hitting US$2,670 on October 1, driving it as low as US$2,639.<\/p>\n
Hemke explained in the October 3 interview that this is likely the result of the market testing resistance at the US$2,650 level.<\/p>\n
\u2018We\u2019re pulling back and testing that level of support,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
\u201cTechnical analysis when you\u2019re in this area of new all-time highs is pretty tough to do. It doesn\u2019t surprise me that we\u2019ve kind of paused here, but things could change pretty rapidly, both economically and geopolitically, in the next few days.\u201d<\/p>\n
Because of these numerous global and national challenges, Hemke believes \u201call bets are off\u201d as to where and how much further gold\u2019s price run could take it.<\/p>\n
He also touched on silver\u2019s inability to make the 30 percent gains its sister metal has displayed this year, and the under performance of mining shares.<\/p>\n
\u201cProbably the most frustrating thing for a lot of investors is silver is (just) kind of playing along, and the mining shares are playing along even less than silver is,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
On the topic of when miners could catch up, Hemke discussed the surprising correlation between the price of silver and the value of the VanEck Gold Miners ETF (ARCA:GDX).<\/p>\n
\u2018Gold keeps going. Silver will eventually move as well. And when silver moves, the mining shares will move. Strange as that may sound,\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n
