In this presentation, Jeffrey Christian of the CPM Group talks about the increasing magical thinking in the precious metals markets, i.e., the belief that prices can only rise regardless of economic fundamentals. He explains why gold has exceeded the $3,900 per ounce mark and why silver is approaching its historic high of $50, but also warns that ignoring the realities of supply, demand, and costs could have negative impacts on investors.
Jeff discusses what the data actually says about investor behavior, central bank activities, and industrial demand. He compares today’s record levels with previous cycles in gold and silver, explains why platinum and palladium have become entangled in speculative narratives, and offers a perspective on how long-term investors can distinguish long-term market drivers from short-lived speculation.
