NZD Gold Pulling Back From Near All Time Highs
Gold in New Zealand dollars was down $41 from a week ago. Having got up close to the all time highs around $3300, it has pulled back this week. Now closing in on the 50 day moving average. Our bet is still that the bottom is in at $3050. But of course there are no guarantees. So still a chance of a pullback to the blue uptrend line currently just above $3000. We’d say any dip towards the 200 day MA at $3105 is likely to be a pretty great long term buying opportunity.
USD gold is back close to the August lows, but remains above $1900 and just below the 200 day MA. We need to see a higher high above $2000 to increase the odds of an uptrend being in place.
NZD Silver Closing in on Buying Zone
Silver in NZ dollars was down just over $1 or 2.5% from 7 days prior. The expected pullback has continued after touching the overhead downtrend line. Still a chance we could see a fall to the uptrend line which is currently around $36.50. But we’d say any dip close to the 200 day MA ($37.92) should be viewed as an excellent buying zone.
While USD silver fell 46 cents from last week. It is back below the 200 day MA already. Any return near to the uptrend line looks like a great place to buy. Silver is trading in the converging wedge pattern and so we’ll have to see a breakout soon. Higher perhaps?
NZ Dollar Back Above 0.5900 – Just
The Kiwi dollar was up 36 basis points this week (0.6%). But this was after dipping below the support line at 0.5900. So it remains in a very clear downtrend and that is why local metals prices remain in more of an uptrend than USD prices.

Reality Check Radio “Up Your Brave” Interview with Gold Survival Guide
In case you missed it 2 weeks ago, we have now added our recent Reality Check Radio interview on the “Up Your Brave” show onto the website.
This has been really well received and brought a lot of new people into the world of gold and silver. Thanks again to Up Your Brave Show host Natalie.
Support for “Higher for Longer” Inflation Thesis
We’ve been commenting for most of this year that it is too early to say that the current theme of falling inflation will continue.
Now we have Goldman Sachs analysts pointing out that they think the odds of a US “soft landing” are receding:
Postponing goldilocks
“Rallying rates and commodities are derailing the goldilocks soft landing scenario. The uncomfortable combination of rallying oil and US long end breaking up is disrupting this equilibrium and triggering a rotation into the “persisting inflation & sticky rates” narrative, adding pressure on equities and valuations”. (GS sales desk)

Then we also have some US labour cost data which the Market Ear points out closely tracks the core CPI, but lags it by about 1 year. Core CPI is what the US central bank takes notice of when setting interest rates. The chart below shows both these measures have fallen from highs but are still the highest they have been since the late 80’s/early 90’s.
Is the decline in inflation sustainable?
While the Fed has continued to suggest that the current run of inflation isn’t a wage/ price spiral, the data makes that a little bit of a tough sell – at least where core inflation is concerned. Shown below, lagged (using a four quarter moving average) unit labor costs track closely to core CPI…going all the way back to the 70s. While both ULCs and core CPI have come off of peak on a Y/Y basis, they have much further to fall in order to reach levels the Fed might consider benign inflation. With labor market data still coming in fairly warm (debatably hot), this could be the key data to watch to make sure a decline in inflation is sustainable.

But what the Market Ear doesn’t mention is perhaps even more important. Looking back to the 70’s we see that labour costs and CPI both fell twice before rising to new highs. i.e. rising inflation underwent 3 cycles of rising and falling. Showing that once higher inflation has been created it is difficult to return to normal again in a hurry.
Bottom line: Be prepared for more loss of purchasing power in the future.
