The precious metals market continues to reflect ongoing economic uncertainties, including persistent inflation, Federal Reserve policy decisions, and global trade tensions.

I'm a little surprised at the strength the precious metals have been showing. This is mostly because I have been programmed to wait for the big dips. I posted this chart in @Leothreads on Friday because I'm starting to get excited about the bull run in the miners. The GDX (VanEck Gold Miners ETF) is on fire!

The spot price of gold stands at approximately $3,690.71 per troy ounce this morning.

This represents a slight pullback from the all-time high of $3,696.09 reached on September 16. Over the past month, gold has gained 10.15%, and year-to-date, it is up 40.55%. We will most likely have a pullback at some point, but I feel this could hit near $4000 per ounce by year's end. (so bullish)

Silver Spot Price is holding at $43.08 per troy ounce, following a 3.01% increase on September 19th.

The Silver charts are looking pretty amazing. There are more rumors of a squeeze coming from social media.

What are your thoughts on where we go from here?
Will the metals rule the day or fizzle out?

I almost forgot about the Platinum charts; the move here is also worth a look.

I guess we will see what the next trading week brings. I'm not gonna lie, I can't wait for the futures markets to open this evening to see what the trend will be.
