Another New All Time High for Gold in USD and NZD
Gold in New Zealand Dollars was up $58 (over 2%) from a week ago to $4161. It hit a new all time high on Monday just below $4200. But as we report further below, pretty much no one noticed. So our thinking is this is likely just the early stages of the next run higher. First buy zone on any dip looks to be the 50 day moving average (MA) around $4100.
USD gold is up $54 from last week to $2573 today. It also hit a new all time high turning down from near $2600. The $2500 level held strong to a series of tests, so that could be the new support level to watch for.
Silver Cranking Higher
Silver was the big mover this past week. In NZ dollars it was up a whopping 7.5% to $49.75. Busted back above the 50 day MA and kept going. It looks likely to be heading to test the $52.50 highs again soon. So any dip back to the 50 day MA should be a good buying zone.
While USD silver shot up 8.3% or $2.36 to $30.76. So far buying any dip down to the 200 day MA has been a good move. But silver looks to be heading back to retest $32. Building for a resumption of the uptrend from earlier this year.
More on the case for the upside in silver further down the page.
Kiwi Dollar Up After Retesting the Breakout
The New Zealand dollar was up 45 basis points from last week to 0.6183. It’s up from retesting the breakout above the downtrend line. Seem likely that it will trend higher from here.

The Most Unnoticed All-Time High Ever – Yet Again
As noted already gold hit new all time highs in both USD and also NZD terms this past week. But we weren’t the only ones to notice that hardly anyone had noticed! Much like the other all time highs this year, of which there have been quite a few, this one went completely under the radar.
Ronnie Stoeferle pointed out:
“The Most Unnoticed All-Time High Ever.
#GOLD”
While Jim Rickards said:
“Did anyone notice that gold hit a new all-time high today? A few of us did. It’s fascinating how mainstream business media ignores the story. Could it be because the rally in gold is actually the collapse of the dollar?”
It could be. Although it likely also just shows that this is incredibly early in the current bull market for gold, and even earlier for silver – more on poor man’s gold below.
Steph Pomboy wondered if gold was flying due to the massive US budget deficit:
“Holy budget deficit, Batman! August Deficit comes in $90b ahead of estimate. Looks like we won’t get the details until 2pm est….but this is f-ugly! QE infinity coming soon. No wonder gold is flying.”
US Banks Getting Bullish on Gold
US Banks continue to be bullish on gold. First Bank of America, where again we are hearing about the US debt and deficit. Currently the second worst deficit only behind the US great depression era..
BofA continues their bullish gold thesis and say “buy dips…gold heading to $3000/oz as neither Harris/Trump gamechangers for trajectory of US government debt & deficit”.
Next UBS. Although we think their target and (if you read this week’s feature post) their percentage allocation are both too low:
UBS on more gold upside
1. Gold has risen by 23% this year, driven by macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainties, lower US yield expectations, and central bank USD diversification.2. Gold is recommended as a hedge against risks, especially during volatile periods when it has outperformed equities.
3. A mid-2025 target for gold is set at USD 2,700/oz, with a suggested 5% allocation in a balanced USD portfolio.
Retail Waking Up? Maybe More Like Just Stirring From Their Slumber
The retail market is waking up from the dead, but there is a heap of catching up to do. The below chart is just comparing ETF holdings to the gold price. TTF holdings are just ticking higher. To us it feels like retail bar and coin purchases have been even less. So more catch up to happen there yet. But we might be close to a shift where the western retail buyer joins in with the Eastern central banks.
Retail waking up in gold?
There is a lot of catching up to do…
Speaking of Eastern Central Banks
Jan Nieuwenhuijs dives into numbers that seem to show Saudi Arabia, like China and Thailand, has moved from being a price taker to a price driver. Meaning that previously they bought when the gold price dipped. Now their buying is likely contributing to the gold price rising:
Saudi Central Bank Caught Secretly Buying 160 Tonnes of Gold in Switzerland
The Saudis have joined other Asian countries in ditching their long-term sensitivity to the gold price. Evidence suggests the Saudi central bank has been covertly buying 160 tonnes of gold in Switzerland since early 2022, contributing to the current gold bull market.
Although the Saudis played a key role in the birth of the global dollar standard in the early 1970s, this time around they might even become a lynchpin for its dissolution.
Even More Upside in Silver
Retail buying might boost gold higher still. But it looks like even more upside in silver – and this is according to Goldman Sachs. With the big banks starting to get on board this could get a little more mainstream attention on poor man’s gold…
The case for silver
$32 is the big resistance to watch. Chart shows the weekly long term version with the 200 weekly moving average. GS sees silver as one of the best trades on the board. Main bullets:1. AI buildout
2. boosts from a more dovish Fed
3. lower positioning than Gold…catch-up trade logi
4. on the verge of a multi-month breakout
Silver and AI
You need silver to make AI work. Chart shows SLV and NVDA [chip maker Nvidia ] moving in pretty much perfect tandem.
Big Brother
Can silver manage to catch up to the gold squeeze?
The difficult thing with silver is timing these runs. Silver often lags gold and then plays a short but sharp catch up. We get the feeling we are approaching one of these times for silver. Safer just to be on board with some silver and wait patiently we reckon. How is your precious metals allocation looking? Do you have enough?
