I've been long silver which has a lot of catching up to do with gold.
Gold stocks should have a great day.
In NZD terms, Silver has a comparatively recent surge, and is up by about 450% in 20 years. Gold is up by about 530%.
In that 20 yr period NZ inflation CPI is up by 67%; Housing cost index is up by 246%; NZX50 Gross is up by about 350%.
Wages are up 110%

Yeah the turn in gold almost coincided with my commodities career. I remember when gold was about USD220/toz and gold had been going down for 20 years but now was below production costs.
Central banks including NZ had finished their selling & miners stopped hedging and in some cases bought back their hedge books.
Gold topped out just below $2000 in 2011 and silver $49.
Gold now 20% higher than that, silver still has 60% to go just to match those previous highs.
The gold / silver ratio is currently circa 77.
In the last 20 years it's traded on average about 67 so just on that basis silver should be 20% higher.

Never a dull moment in commodities! I wonder if China has resumed buying gold again.

Hopefully soon. That will give the market some momentum.

They are approximate. Reserve Bank Inflation calculator https://www.rbnz.govt.nz/monetary-po...ion-calculator and https://goldprice.org/

A bulls*it CPI figure that the RBNZ uses to justify pushing up asset prices, with workers falling behind the owners of capital. And we wonder why wealth and income inequality keeps getting worse (or better depending on your view).
It might indicate that owning some gold to protect against monetary debasement is worthwhile at least in recent history. Today is not too shabby, mind you all assets probably going up atm with the promise of rate cuts and more monetary debasement.
Alokdhir probably jizzing in his pants after the latest from Adrian Orr.
