Precious Metals Resuming Bull Market

Gold and silver continue to be bullish, the gold miners are mixed and bitcoin continues to outperform. Despite the unprecedented events of 2020 the precious metals have had a positive year, the pandemic brought volatility to the market with a sharp drop followed by a continuation of the upward trend that had begun before Covid disrupted our lives.

Unprecendented global liquidity since the pandemic has been the catalyst for much of the recent reflation in markets, Central Bank willingness to maintain ultra low rates, Government deficits, stimulus packages and infrastructure projetcs are all adding to rising markets.

Whilst Coronavirus is still with us it seems as though we are over the worst of it, with better testing and vaccines available to us, barring an unprecedented mutation it is unlikely to provide no more than a mild headwind to investors as we head to the peak of the Northern Hemisphere flu season.

The pandemic has done very ittle to alter the general long-term trend of most markets and a weakening Dollar has helped the reflation process. Having said all of the above, the recent gold run began before the pandemic, investors were already concerned about the state of the global economy before the end of 2019. Signs of a slowing economy became more pervasive many investors already had expectations of central bank liquidity injections in 2020 prior to the pandemic. 

As we come out of the crisis we expect to see the full effects of the pandemic become more apparent, we expect Central Banks and Governments to continue to add to liquidity in an attempt to regain lost ground, this will doubtless be good for the precious metals complex well in to 2021.

Disclaimer: My name is Ken Ticehurst, I have a background in data analytics, software design, trading, investing and hold a BSc. (Hons.) in Product Design. I believe the future of the financial services industry is competing algorithms not expensive analysts or advisors.

For over a decade I have been designing algorithms to look for fractal patterns in market data to identify these patterns and use them to create the most logical unbiased forecasts and investment signals possible.

Whilst I believe that my logical approach is superior to all forms of technical and fundamental analysis, it can never be 100% accurate.

The aim of my work is to offer traders and investors the most logical system possible and make this available at the lowest possible price at www.ivalgo.com.
