This article presents my “one week after the US Presidential election” technical analysis of gold and silver prices.

Gold and Silver Post-Election Technical Analysis
This article presents my “one week after the US Presidential election” technical analysis of gold and silver prices. I must say that it was quite an interesting election night, the way things eventually unfolded. While the mainstream media kept selling the notion that the election was “too close to call”, it turned out not to be close at all.
Gold, the BRICS summit, and De-Dollarization
There may be more forces than we think there are driving gold prices higher. Last week’s BRICS summit, held in Kazan, Russia, perhaps gave us a roundabout clue to that fact.

So, that’s two major events that could significantly impact the prices of gold and silver. Therefore, I’ll be very interested to see where prices are this time next month, in comparison to where they are now.
Gold, China, Switzerland – and the New Economic World Order
China has leveraged its sizeable gold trade with Switzerland to forge and expand a key free trade agreement with the Swiss.
