This Gold Pattern is Profound

On this week’s episode of Gold Game Film, Kitco News’ Daniela Cambone welcomes Frank Holmes to get his thoughts on how the yellow metal has been moving recently. Along with the much-anticipated Federal Open Markets Committee (FOMC) meeting this week, Frank says the pattern we continue to see is gold’s inverse relationship with five-year Treasury yields. He comments that if investors get a negative rate of return on their money, gold is strong in that particular country’s currency and if the rate of return is positive, gold is weak in that country’s currency.

You can view the chart that simplifies this pattern by watching the full interview below. Tune in to also hear Frank’s thoughts on India’s new gold savings plan.
