The battle is raging at the $1,800 level in the gold market. Plus inflation and massive layoffs.
Gold Battle At $1,800
August 10 (King World News) – Fred Hickey: $1800 battle for gold continues – currently $1799. When (not if) gold breaks through definitively, will unleash torrent of buying from grossly underweight North American buyers. This entire $120+ rally off lows 3 wks. ago came with no ETF inflows (actually outflows) and no net futures adds.
$1,800 Foiled…For Now
Fred Hickey: $1800 gold breakout foiled (for now) by hawkish comments from uber-dove Fed President Charles Evans: “I expect that we will be increasing rates the rest of this year and into next year to make sure inflation gets back to our 2% objective.” Gold & silver sold off following Evan’s “hawkish” comments and U.S. dollar rallied (all turned exactly at the same time), giving the precious metals bears what they needed to keep gold below $1800. Of course, the wilding on the stock market barely stopped for a breather…

Now That’s Some “Transitory” Inflation!
Holger Zschaepitz: Good Morning from Germany, where supermarket prices are rising much faster than in other Eurozone countries. Food CPI jumped 14.8% YoY in July, the highest food price inflation since the start of the statistic.

Layoffs Increasing As Economy Tanks
Gerald Celente: Inflation and interest rate hikes are causing companies in many sectors to lay off employees. To illustrate the employment trends and the socioeconomic implications, each week we will list job losses.
Initial claims totaled 251,000 for the week ended July 16, up 7,000 from the week before and above the 240,000 Dow Jones estimate. The Philadelphia Fed manufacturing index fell to a reading of -12.3, and produced the lowest employment reading since May 2021.

BIG NEWS: Monster 10.8 Million Ounce Gold Equivalent Maiden Resource at Blue Lake!
K92 Mining, one of the highest grade gold producers in the world, just announced a maiden resource at its Blue Lake Gold-Copper Porphyry – a monstrous 10.8 million ounce gold equivalent / 4.7 billion lbs copper equivalent resource! Blue Lake is near K92’s high-grade producing underground mine and has the potential to get much bigger – it only took 17 kilometers of drilling done to define, nearly every hole hit, the discovery cost was super low at <$1/oz and the highest grade portion is open at depth!!!
John Lewins, K92 CEO & Director: “The maiden resource estimate at Blue Lake is a major accomplishment, defining a large-scale, potentially commerical gold-copper porphyry proximal to our high-grade Kainantu underground mine. Blue Lake was also defined efficiently, leveraging our team’s extensive exploration experience in Papua New Guinea, with nearly all holes intersecting mineralization.
10.8 Million Ounces Of Gold Only The Tip Of The Iceberg
Importantly, we believe Blue Lake is only the tip of the porphyry iceberg at Kainantu and have gained a tremendous amount of knowledge for our porphyry exploration programs going forward. In Papua New Guinea, porphyries tend to cluster and there are five other porphyry targets proximal to Blue Lake, with A1 being of the highest priority. Soil sampling at A1 is expected to commence imminently, with diamond drilling planned afterwards. Between our intrusion related gold/copper exploration at Kora, Judd, Kora South and Judd South and our porphyry exploration, we are very excited about the potential at Kainantu.” K92 Mining, symbol KNT in Canada and KNTNF in the US.
