Florian Grummes: Gold No Longer Cares About The Dollar

Tom Bodrovics welcomes Florian Grummes back to the show to discuss his outlook for silver, gold, and the broader economic landscape. Grummes, a veteran technical trader and analyst, set a target of $50 per ounce for silver by late spring 2025, noting that silver often lags behind gold but tends to surge at the end of a bull market. He highlighted silver's industrial demand, particularly in the solar and electric vehicle sectors, as key drivers for its price appreciation. Grummes also pointed to physical silver shipments from London to New York as a sign of an impending spike. Grummes emphasized the role of macroeconomic factors, including central bank policies and geopolitical tensions, in shaping precious metals markets. He warns that while gold has reached record highs, significant volatility could emerge if stock market corrections deepen. Grummes also touches on the importance of seasonality, suggesting that summer months might see reduced trading activity. Discussing mining stocks, Grummes acknowledges their underperformance relative to metal prices but expressed optimism about future gains, particularly as larger producers with strong margins begin acquiring smaller companies. He stresses the importance of scaling in and out of positions to manage risk effectively. Grummes concludes by emphasizing the psychological aspects of trading, urging listeners to take responsibility for their decisions and learn from past mistakes.
