In the latest episode of Kitco’s Gold Game Film with Frank Holmes and host Daniela Cambone, Frank says when it comes to the gold market, the great fear right now isn’t inflation, but is deflation instead. It is the fear of deflation that is causing gold to rally because governments will respond with printing an excessive amount of money.
Frank also discusses the movements we saw in South African gold producers like Gold Fields and Harmony Gold last week. These names moved higher as the South African rand depreciated versus the U.S. dollar, causing gold to outperform in rand terms.
Frank discusses the 10-year Treasury and how its movement is affecting the yellow metal, and ends the episode with his touchdown pass of the week for gold. Tune in now!
