US Dollar Strength Is Becoming Gold’s Biggest Near-Term Constraint
Despite bullish stars aligning for , it has sold off on balance for six weeks now. A sharp reversal from August’s blistering rally, this correction has shifted sentiment quite bearish. Surging odds and longer-bond yields have really weighed on gold. Both fueled the US dollar blasting higher since late August, mostly driving gold’s selloff since. But the dollar hindering gold is increasingly looking long in the tooth. Gold has long been broadly inversely correlated with the benchmark US Dollar Index.
Gold Weathers Warm CPI
Gold initially sold off fairly sharply following a warmer-than-expected CPI-inflation print midweek. Fearing that significantly boosted Fed-rate-hike odds, gold-futures speculators apparently fled. Yet following that kneejerk reaction, gold recovered some nicely weathering that hawkish data. Regardless of gaming Fed rate trajectories, it is insane traders think higher inflation is bearish for gold given their long historical record.

But the dollar hindering gold is increasingly looking long in the tooth.
Gold Stocks Overlooked
Gold miners’ stocks remain widely overlooked, flying under the radars of most speculators and investors. That’s unfortunate, as this high-potential sector’s technicals and fundamentals both support way-higher prices ahead. Naturally bullish enthusiasm will mount as gold stocks again challenge record highs. But the biggest gains will be won by shrewd contrarian traders willing to deploy early before the herd rushes back. The GDX dominated by major miners remains this sector’s leading benchmark.
Gold Fed Hysteria Wanes
Gold (GLD) has long been plagued by Fed hysteria. Vexingly, sharp kneejerk selloffs often erupt when traders see federal-funds-rate trajectories steepening. Yet history argues these bearish reactions are highly-irrational, as gold tends to thrive in Fed-rate-hike cycles. After a serious episode of gold selling on Fed-rate-hike fears in June, this week’s actual hike threatened another. But gold is reacting way-more favorably. The theory behind dumping gold on higher rates ahead sounds logical.
Gold Investment Rebounding
Gold investment is rebounding sharply after this year’s serious gold drawdown. As gold blasted higher on balance over the past five weeks, investors have been quick to return. This is certainly a bullish omen, as investment demand is the primary driver of major gold uplegs and bull markets. Investors’ capital inflows are self-reinforcing, as the higher they push gold, the more investors want to chase its upside momentum. Gold investment demand is challenging if not impossible to quantify.
Eye Keep Smiling retired
SUPERSTAR harness racing mare Eye Keep Smiling has run her last race. Owner-breeder Jackie Gibson confirmed her retirement after finishing fourth at Menangle last Saturday night. She heads to the breeding barn at Success Stud with an amazing race record of 51 starts for 30 wins, nine seconds, two thirds and $961,526. Trainer-driver Luke McCarthy was lavish in his praise of Eye Keep Smiling. “She was one of the best mares I’ve ever trained, if not the best,” he said.

NZ itinerary confirmed for Captains Mistress
31 August 2026 , News By Adam Hamilton Wonder mare Captains Mistress is being set for an extended New Zealand campaign to finish the year. The Inter Dominion champion will target the Group 1 Victoria Cup on October 17 but then spend the remainder of 2026 racing in NZ. Although the iconic NZ Cup isn’t on the radar, Kiwis will get to see plenty of her. While many thought talk of a Kaikoura Cup start was folly, owner Mick Boots said it was a lock.
Gold Miners Flash Major Buy Signal After 41% Selloff and Falling-Wedge Breakout
Gold stocks just soared to a big technical breakout, mirroring and amplifying their metal. Like , its leading miners’ ETFs had spent months winding ever tighter in a bullish chart pattern known as a falling wedge. Those usually resolve in strong reversals and upside breakouts, portending resuming bull runs. That’s likely today, as gold miners’ technicals, sentiment, and fundamentals all support much-higher stock prices.
Gold Miners' Q2'26 Fundamentals
Despite a rough quarter for gold, its major miners just reported their second-best results ever. While their metal suffered a serious drawdown exacerbated by Fed-rate-hike fears, the miners still earned fat near-record profits. Those combined with gold stocks’ parallel selloff pounded sector valuations to their lowest levels in at least a decade and likely ever. With such strong fundamentals, the miners are great buys. The GDX VanEck Gold Miners ETF remains this sector’s dominant benchmark.
Gold’s Missing Futures Speculators May Be Setting Up the Next Major Rally
has proven unusually volatile since early June, violently buffeted by outsized chop with a heavy downside bias. That has fueled considerable technical damage and greatly ramped bearish sentiment. Gold’s periodic big down days sure looked futures-driven due to their speed and magnitude. Yet rather mysteriously, speculators’ gold-futures positioning hasn’t reflected that with those traders missing in action. Often American gold-futures speculators dominate short-term gold fortunes.
Eye to Keep Smiling on
CHAMPION mare Eye Keep Smiling will race on for another season. Eye Keep Smiling (Club Menangle Photo) Fresh from a remarkable third successive win in the Group 1 Golden Girl at Albion Park last Saturday night, owner-breeder Jackie Gibson confirmed the plans. Now doubt the lure of topping $1 million in prize money is a factor, too. Eye Keep Smiling latest Group 1 win took her bankroll to $958,588.
Gold Stocks’ Autumn Rally ‘26
Gold stocks have had a tough summer, pounded lower by their metal’s periodic sharp selloffs. Mired in its low-interest low-volume summer doldrums, gold has suffered big hits on flaring Fed-rate-hike fears and Trump’s war re-escalating. Resulting persistent weakness has left gold and gold-stock technicals deeply oversold, and herd sentiment quite bearish. But this is a great setup for a major mean-reversion autumn rally.
Gold Stocks Enter Their Strong Season at Deeply Oversold Levels

Mired in its low-interest low-volume summer doldrums, has suffered big hits on flaring Fed-rate-hike fears and Trumpâs war re-escalating. Resulting persistent weakness has left gold and gold-stock technicals deeply oversold, and herd sentiment quite bearish. But this is a great setup for a major mean-reversion autumn rally.
Gold Poised for Big Reversal
Gold is poised for a big reversal after getting slammed in recent weeks. Mostly driven by fears the Fed is shifting hawkish, that heavy selling was irrational and overdone. Gold has mostly thrived in past rate-hike cycles, and this Fed isn’t likely to hike much anyway. Gold’s anomalous June breakdown reinforced and buttressed a wide array of bullish factors pointing to a major rebound, which will likely soon be underway. Before June’s surprising carnage, gold was looking good technically.
Nyack adds to Tassie's Inter Dominion hopes
Download the SEN App Your Home of Sport, In your Hand Tasmania will have three horses to cheer for in next month’s rich Brisbane Inter Dominion series. While the brilliant pacer Triedtotellya will be the only Tassie-trained raider, the proudly Tasmanian-born Jimmy Rattray is taking Nyack and London To A Brick to chase the $1 million pacing final and $500,000 trotting final, respectively. “I like flying the Tassie flag, too,” the Menangle-based Rattray said.

Warsh Fed to Liberate Gold?
Trump’s new Fed chair helmed his first FOMC meeting midweek. Kevin Warsh came across as hawkish in his post-decision press conference, laser-focused on fighting inflation implying a higher federal-funds-rate trajectory ahead. That slammed gold, like after many past hawkish FOMC meetings. Yet traders myopically ignored Warsh’s overarching new direction for the Fed, which could actually liberate gold from it.

Star Tasmanian pacer Triedtotellya typifies what the Inter Dominion is all about
By Adam Hamilton Download the SEN App Your Home of Sport, In your Hand Star Tasmanian pacer Triedtotellya typifies what the Inter Dominion is all about. The gelding probably can’t win the $1 million Brisbane Inter Dominion final on July 18, but connections are just desperate to be part of the iconic series. “I’m getting on, I may not get another horse good enough to have a crack at an Inter Dominion,” 53-year-old trainer-driver Rohan Hillier said.
Adam Hamilton: I listened to Kansans. I heard my family’s story | Opinion Original
Service above self. Country before party. People over politics. My parents dropped out of Shawnee Mission East when they had me. My dad was 17, my mom 18. They married, and my dad eventually took a job at Boeing in Wichita, then Seattle, before they moved back to Prairie Village when I was 6. When I was a kid, he managed the Prairie Village Standard gas station at 68th and Mission, working 60 hours a week and often more to provide for our family.
Gold Stocks Revaluing Higher
Gold miners’ stocks are revaluing higher, normalizing into a new higher-price regime. Technically this is evident in their current high consolidation after soaring last year. The miners’ fantastic fundamentals at these lofty prevailing gold prices also more than justify much-higher stock prices. This sector’s growing market capitalization as it revalues is bullish, expanding funds’ interest in gold stocks and willingness to invest.
Gold-Stock Green Shoots
The violent gold-stock swings in these past couple months have been breathtaking. This wild sector crashed, soared to records, cratered, then surged again, whipsawing jarringly. But this tempestuousness looks to have paved the way for another nice run higher. Fittingly with spring underway, gold stocks are showing technical, seasonal, and fundamental green shoots. They have real potential to grow into big gains.
Gold Still Juggernaut
Gold still looks unstoppable, a mighty juggernaut. After essentially tripling in about a couple years, gold inexorably continues grinding higher. Remarkably this great strength is defying gold’s own half-century-plus precedent of serious drawdowns following extreme gains and overboughtness. Interestingly gold’s latest monster record bull also had episodes of gold refusing to sell off substantially out of overbought extremes.
Gold Chinese New Year
Chinese gold demand played a leading role in this metal’s record bull run in recent years. And frenzied Chinese buying fueled gold’s popular speculative mania in recent months, partially from preparations for Chinese New Year celebrations. Those play into gold’s strong January seasonality, but are followed by a sizable seasonal slump. That could prove way worse this year out of gold’s recent extreme overboughtness.
Leaping into the record books
Leap To Fame Leap To Fame’s greatness can be defined in so many ways. His Australasian record $5,169,359 in prize money, his 63 wins, including 13 at Group 1 or just the way he does most of the work in the biggest races against the best horses and still wins more often than not. But the statistic that best underlines how he is a generational great is how many tracks he holds.
Gold’s Rally Now Depends on China as US Buying Fades From the Driver’s Seat
’s monster record bull has resumed galloping higher under new management. Frenzied buying from China has increasingly replaced gold’s usual drivers, American gold-ETF-share and gold-futures trading. This ascendant Chinese gold demand has kept gold running hot, short-circuiting an overdue reckoning necessary for rebalancing. With American traders not fully joining in, gold’s resilience up here depends on China.
Gold’s China Takeover

Frenzied buying from China has increasingly replaced gold’s usual drivers, American gold-ETF-share and gold-futures trading. This ascendant Chinese gold demand has kept gold running hot, short-circuiting an overdue reckoning necessary for rebalancing. With American traders not fully joining in, gold’s resilience up here depends on China.
Gold Speculative Mania
Gold has soared into a popular speculative mania! Frenzied momentum-chasing buying fueled by truly-astonishing herd greed has catapulted gold into an extreme danger zone. Its ludicrous ascent pace in January launched gold to stratospheric nearly-half-century extremes of overboughtness. Unfortunately, market history proves similar irrational-exuberance episodes are followed by violent symmetrical plunges.
Precious Metals’ Greatest Year
Precious metals just enjoyed one of their greatest years ever, if not the greatest! Gold, silver, platinum, and their miners’ stocks skyrocketed in 2025, multiplying contrarian investors’ wealth. More importantly, this year’s enormous gains radically improved mainstream investors’ sentiment on precious metals. After mostly ignoring this important sector for long years, now everyone finally realizes PM allocations are essential. Year-end is always a time of reflection.
Silver’s Near-Parabola
Silver has just rocketed up into a spectacular near-parabola! Such amazing performance has naturally captivated traders, who are aggressively buying as herd greed soars. Silver’s recent vertical surge is sure impressive technically, dominating charts. Yet surprisingly on both the overboughtness and futures fronts, these record silver levels haven’t been as extreme as you’d think given its recent big-and-fast gains.
Gold Consolidating High Again
Gold is consolidating high again, prolonging its remarkable monster bull. Since rocketing into extreme overboughtness in mid-October, gold has largely been drifting sideways on balance. This is really defying precedent for big-and-fast drawdowns after such massive runs, for an unbelievable fourth time in this bull. How its three earlier high consolidations played out offers insights into this current one’s likely behavior.
Sonderbooks Book Review of
The Lord's Prayer The Meaning and Power of the Prayer Jesus Taught Review posted November 17, 2025. Abingdon Press, 2025. 176 pages. Review written October 27, 2025, from my own copy, purchased via Amazon.com. Starred Review My church decided to do a sermon series on this book and encouraged all the small groups to go through the book together. I think all of us in my group were surprised how much we got out of the book, even though we were already familiar with the Lord's Prayer.
Gold Chasing Reversing
Investors chasing gold’s upside momentum was a major driver of its recent surge. Their relentless capital inflows helped catapult gold up to extraordinarily-overbought levels, really ramping risks for a reversal. As that indeed sure looks underway now, investors’ chasing has also turned on a dime to fleeing. While their capital outflows haven’t grown large yet, that selling could easily snowball deepening gold’s drawdown. Gold investment demand is challenging to measure.
More Gold-Miner Records
Gold stocks are soaring with their metal, stacking more record closes. But rallying so far so fast has left this sector exceedingly-overbought, at serious risk of a big-and-fast selloff. While periodic rebalancings are inevitable and healthy in powerful bull markets, gold miners’ fundamentals still support much-higher prices. Gold miners’ Q3 earnings season will soon get underway, with spectacular record-shattering results.
Gold Stocks at Extreme Overbought Levels Signal High Risk of Sharp Correction Original
Gold stocks have soared in recent months, accruing massive gains. While fully justified fundamentally, such fast rallying has left their leading sector benchmark super-overbought. That argues a sizable selloff is imminent to rebalance extreme technicals and sentiment. Traders with existing -stock positions can prepare by tightening trailing stop losses. This healthy selloff will spawn a good mid-bull buying opportunity.
Howdy Mate unites global friendship
by Adam Hamilton A chance meeting on a private jet in the hours after the 2022 Hambletonian helped shape one of harness racing’s most global and unlikely ownership groups. Down Under’s top harness racing media presenter Brittany Graham, who also boasts over 300 wins as a driver, snapped up an offer to fly from New Jersey to Kentucky that night. The jet was owned by Michelle Crawford, of the leviathan Crawford Farms, and another passenger was leading trainer Nancy Takter.
Gold Stretched Above 200-DMA: Relativity Signals High Odds of Mean Reversion
’s massive breakout this month has left it pretty stretched technically. Blasting back up into extreme-overbought territory multiplies ’s odds for an imminent rebalancing selloff. That would be very healthy for this mighty bull’s longevity, normalizing these record prices and bleeding off excessive greed. Gold is also facing other factors beyond overboughtness arguing for a breather, which would be a buying opportunity.
