After the minimum of 1,321 $/ounce in mid-April, the rebound stopped at 1,487 $ on May 3rd and then started to fall again and threaten to make new lows.

It is therefore necessary to have a balanced approach to investing in gold, bearing in mind the fundamentals that have made it grow in the last 12 years.

Four factors can help us minimize extremely negative views:

4- Corrections happen, but they offer to buy opportunities

The violent crash in April could go down in history as a "sigma" event.

The April 12-15 decline exceeded 2.6 standard deviations year-over-year. A very rare event.

Finally, the correction continues also in May. Fundamentals remain supportive while technical analysis does not.

Under these conditions, the best strategy is to continue to accumulate every month with a long-term objective without exceeding volatility tolerance thresholds.

The prices of the precious metal, given the great global breadth that this market covers, both in terms of supply and demand, are affected by numerous factors. Let’s see the most important.

The price of gold continues its phase of weakness despite some bullish accelerations which often show us false hopes. The trend remains rather weak and will remain so for a relatively indefinite period. It will be interesting to follow these appointments precisely to understand if the market has come out of this impasse. As I mentioned in a previous article, the price of gold quoted in dollars differs from that quoted in euros which we are more used to thinking about here. The difference is not negligible even if the prices tend to have a good correlation. So to have a more precise perspective, we should also take into account the exchange rate of the single European currency. Purely academically, if the value of the Euro tends to decrease, to counterbalance the price of gold (in Euros) would tend to appreciate. Correlations always show their most fascinating aspect.

Just this month, a few days ago, gold in international markets recorded its lowest values. Many initially predicted that a still-falling gold price would lead to mine closures; nevertheless, so far most gold producers have chosen to cut costs rather than shut down their operations altogether. Companies have taken several approaches to make these cost reductions effective, including lowering wages and cutting headcount. But perhaps the most common approach has been to cut back on exploration – many gold prospectors are directing all their money to their existing operations rather than looking for gold elsewhere.

For now, though, there is no shortage of gold. In terms of where it is mined, China, Australia, and Russia were the top three producers in 2014. Respectively, they mined 450, 270, and 245 million tonnes of the yellow metal.

China also figures as one of the world’s main consumers of gold, and in 2014 it bought 813.6 tons of the metal. This is certainly a staggering amount. But even more impressive is that in 2013 purchases were 38% higher than today’s value. According to Reuters, Chinese gold consumption was particularly high in 2013 due to the sharp decline in the price of the metal in the second half of the year.

In the world rankings, the first position is contested by China and India. And the latter is also an important market for gold since in 2014 it consumed 842.7 million tons of metal. Although both countries recorded rather exorbitant numbers, China and India still saw a decline in gold consumption from 2013 to 2014. And this has meant that the title of the world’s largest gold consumer is often drawn among namely China and India. Out of curiosity, in the current year, it is thought that India will once again conquer the highest peak of the podium.

But aside from these sporting notes, in terms of supply and demand, investors need to be aware that most of the gold ever mined still exists and is accessible – for example, as jewelry or bullion. On the contrary, many other metals, including silver, are consumed and can hardly be recovered. Or the recycling costs are exorbitant, thus making it less convenient. This means that the final price of gold is also determined by these components, such as recycling, which is effectively included in the supply/demand relationship.…

Is palladium better than gold? This is a question that many investors are asking given the current market conditions and the rather advantageous prices for both metals. Furthermore, there are some optimistic forecasts produced by well-known foreign investment banks that favor the white metal.

Sure, palladium has been a fairly favored precious metal within the Precious Metals industry in the past. Now it would seem strange to assert that this metal could have the qualities of a front-runner. Compared to a 7.6 percent increase in the price of gold since the start of the new year, the price of palladium is down nearly 6% percent.

So why might palladium be better than gold? According to research conducted by Bloomberg, it is asserted palladium has a solid fundamental basis behind it, which is worth remembering.

Palladium is mainly used for catalytic converters, in particular for petrol-powered vehicles and according to the most recent estimates, an increase in the demand for vehicles in China is expected such as to be able to push upwards the demand for the metal. Under current technical conditions, a rally, albeit presumably of limited duration, is already underway. On the contrary, gold is ringing a consecutive series of increases that are far too high. And in the financial markets, experience teaches us that too high a growth in the short term is often followed by a retracement of quotations, even conspicuous.

The gold market is benefiting from both critical geopolitical news and uncertainty in China’s stock market, while palladium looks much more attractive based on its fundamentals.

And this is understandable because the demand for cars is sure to increase, which is good news for palladium. In a recent Scotiabank report, Carlos Gomes expects auto sales to hit global record levels in 2016, noting that sales in North American markets grew 7 percent in 2015, the highest in nearly 20 years.

In any case, the fundamental rule of diversification is always valid for all investments: “never put all your eggs in one basket”. Diversifying a part of the liquidity destined for investments between Gold and Palladium is a rather wise rule.…

Negative interest rates make investing in gold more competitive with quality government bonds and liquidity attractive for tactical investments.

Among the many implications that determine the current scenario characterized by negative interest rates for many government bonds (and corporate bonds of highly rated issuers) in the Eurozone, there are two that are of interest to analysts: gold and liquidity. Let’s see together why.

As long as high-quality bond interest rates offered minimal returns, the appeal of gold and cash was limited. Investing in gold was interesting in terms of portfolio risk diversification and for the ‘physical’ value of owning the yellow metal compared to ‘financial paper’ during crises and market turmoil: investors bought gold knowing who could not have counted on coupon flows. But now, adding to this appeal is the fact that government bonds in the euro area (Germans, in particular, but not only) do not pay any interest (exactly as happens with the possession of gold bars or ETFs) while the metal yellow embodies a material intrinsic solid value.

As far as liquidity is concerned, however, with short-term negative interest rates and inflation at its lowest terms (or even in the deflationary area), the maintenance of a large share of monetary instruments (current accounts, deposit accounts, ETFs and euro monetary funds, certificates, and repurchase agreements) does not make the saver give up any interest in the short term and, at the same time, offers the possibility of investing in the opportunities that arise on the markets.

Among those who have recently changed their view on the role of gold in financial portfolios, we note Yves Longchamp, CFA, Head of Research ETHENEA Independent Investors (Schweiz) AG, who was responsible for verifying whether or not the conditions to invest in the precious metal.

“We can say that both the low yields of TIPS (Treasury inflation-protected securities, US Treasury bonds protected from inflation) and the high price of gold are two effects of the same cause” underlines Yves Longchamp who then explains: “If insecurity and fears increase, gold prices will rise and real interest rates (i.e. net of inflation) will fall: low real interest rates, however, are only acceptable for investors to the extent that it is difficult to predict the trend of inflation”.

But for Yves Longchamp, this means, for example, that monetary policy no longer works or that the value of money has become unstable. This would also explain why gold is so expensive.

“Gold is a practical way to transfer assets from one currency regime to another. In fact, unlike real estate and land, gold can be hidden. For investors like us, however, gold performs a protective function in this context” says Yves Longchamp according to whom the yellow metal guarantees optimal portfolio diversification by its low correlation with the evolution of share prices and interest rates of nominal interest.”

“In the past this aspect was not important enough for us since liquidity offered interest. But in this context, in which cash holdings are subject to interest payments, thus equalizing the costs of holding a gold ETF, the ETHENEA portfolio management team has decided to include gold in the Ethna portfolio -AKTIV” concludes Yves Longchamp.

As already in other articles that we have written to give our contribution to the correct management of savings, we wanted once again to share this article published with you to understand once again how fundamental the role of gold is in the proper management of savings and accumulate value without any counterparty risk, which does not happen in any other type of investment.…

In the volatile economy of the 21st century, investors often look to the precious metals sector as an alternative to traditional securities such as stocks and bonds.

And sadly, the metal market is full of myths, half-truths, and urban legends that too many people take for granted. Here are some of the more common myths potential investors will come across:

Unlike some stock markets, gold and silver are particularly suitable for small investors. There are indeed markups based on different sizes of bars and coins, but anyone willing to buy an ounce or more of silver or gold will only pay a small profit margin above spot market prices.

Myth #2 – Governments and banks control the price of precious metals, so no one can make a profit.

There have been a few instances of banks “trying” (note the quotes) to manipulate global prices in the spot metal market for short periods, but those actions have almost nothing to do with the profit or loss that a small investor gets. The truth is that the price of precious metals is mainly determined by supply and demand, so when the demand for the metal is soaring its price will also go up. Large and small investors have made profits and suffered losses in the precious metals markets, but they have never lost everything as is the case with the holders of Stocks or Bonds. Gold can never be worth zero.

Myth #3 – It is better to buy mining stocks because they offer higher profits.

Under certain conditions, quite rare indeed, gold and silver mining stocks outperform the metals themselves, but most experienced investors prefer the physical metal to mining stocks for the above reason. In bear markets, mining stocks also tend to fall much faster and lose much more than physical metals.

Myth #4 – Custody is a major problem for owners of physical precious metals.

The thick metal case can worry those who want to buy gold or silver. But today it is possible to deposit the metal in special safe deposit boxes at very low costs. Furthermore, even if it is not a solution that is recommended, it is possible to buy a safe for the home. In any case, unless large quantities of metal are purchased, it is advisable to rely on companies specialized in custody that also offer insurance.

Myth #5 – It is more profitable for investment purposes to buy rare gold or silver coins instead of bullion.

Nothing could be further from the truth than this persistent myth, which is older than many of the coins in question. Unless you are a numismatic expert and therefore find buying and selling rare coins more comfortable, bars are the simplest and easiest way to go.

Myth #6 – Gold and silver, as well as platinum and palladium, are only useful as hedging instruments within a larger portfolio of stocks, bonds, and other investments.

Yes, metals can be a good part of any properly diversified portfolio. Regular long-term precious metals investors, also referred to as “drawers,” routinely purchase gold and silver on a weekly, monthly, or yearly basis, balancing the purchase price over time. Thus, using precious metals as the standard 10 percent hedge in a larger portfolio is a commendable practice; there is nothing wrong with making precious metals the primary component of an investment strategy well managed.

Every investment carries its own unique set of risks and rewards. This is to be expected. But in the world of so-called “alternative markets” such as precious metals, there is often a veneer of mystery that must be stripped away before consumers can buy with confidence. Trust in a metal that boasts a 5,000-year history, the first form of commercial currency in human history, can be granted with confidence.

In the volatile economy of the 21st century, investors often look to the precious metals sector as an alternative to traditional securities such as stocks and bonds.

And sadly, the metal market is full of myths, half-truths, and urban legends that too many people take for granted. Here are some of the more common myths potential investors will come across:

With Noble Gold, you can either transfer assets directly from an existing custodian bank to your new IRA or transfer funds to your new account.. You shouldn’t face tax penalties if you transfer funds from one custodian bank to another. If you already have an IRA or 401 (k), either regular or Roth, you have the option to transfer some or all of your funds to a Gold IRA. The rollover process is the same as any other pension fund.

You usually fill out an account application (whether online or on paper) and the account is usually set up within 24-48 hours of the request being completed and received. In today’s markets, bond investors should do everything they can to protect their assets from equity market volatility, inflation, currency depreciation, and geopolitical uncertainty.. For this reason, many of the world’s leading investors and economists recommend turning part of your own portfolio into assets that are NOT correlated with the health of the dollar, such as precious metals.. Did you know that you can convert part of your 401,000, IRA, or other retirement vehicle into physical gold and silver bars? Known as a gold IRA rollover, the process of transferring some IRA holdings into physical precious metals is becoming increasingly popular among investors interested in diversification and asset protection..

In short, a Gold IRA allows you to own real physical precious metals in your retirement account, deferred or tax-free.. With a gold IRA rollover, you can easily create and fund such an account by transferring assets or cash from an existing IRA.. To make the process easier, we’ve put together this short guide to Gold IRA rollovers. This allows you to easily convert stocks, bonds, ETFs, and other assets into precious metals, all within a tax-privileged retirement account such as a self-managed Roth or a traditional IRA..

A Gold IRA rollover is when you convert part of an existing retirement account or investment portfolio (i.e.. h.. During a rollover, funds are withdrawn from the existing account and cannot be stored for longer than 60 days until they must be redeposited into the new IRA under another custodian or administrator. Below, we’ve outlined some of the key differences between Gold IRA transfers and rollovers, and specific core similarities. A gold IRA transfer (sometimes referred to as an “IRA gold transfer”) involves the transfer of funds from the custodian to the custodian..

As a result, the account holder does not receive any money that is withdrawn from their account. Instead, the funds are transferred directly between third parties without the involvement of the account holder.. It is a simplified, contactless process for the account holder, which is handled entirely by the custodian banks.. The main difference between rollovers and transfers is that when making IRA transfers, the money distributed never touches the IRA holder’s bank account.

To learn more about how the IRS regulates rollovers and the consequences of violating them, read this handy IR-written guide to general IRA rollovers. Or read this comprehensive Gold IRA FAQ section directly from Uncle Sam himself. For many, an IRA gold transfer is preferable simply because it minimizes the human error margin compared to a rollover.. In the event of a rollover, you may inadvertently run into trouble, for example by not transferring the disbursed funds to your new account before the deadline imposed by the IRS is over.

Failure to do so would result in a significant financial sanction from the IRS. However, Gold IRA transfers are not susceptible to this error as the process is handled automatically by your account depository.. Regardless of what some investors believe, it is entirely possible to transfer or extend funds from an existing, employer-sponsored or self-managed 401 (k) 401 (k) to a Gold IRA. However, this process is subject to slightly different rules, which must be clarified before continuing.. Transferring funds from a 401 (k) sponsored by a former employer to a new Gold IRA shouldn’t pose any problems.

Simply select a new Gold IRA custodian and let them initiate the 401 (k) -to-ira rollover on their site. However, a 401 (k) sponsored by your current employer is more challenging when you transition to a self-directed IRA. Rest assured, it is entirely possible to transfer a current 401 (k) employer to a new Gold IRA. For a more detailed description of the process, see our article on Gold IRA rules and regulations.

There you will find complete instructions on how to sort out 401 (k) rollovers funded by the employer. The amount of financing for precious metals such as gold or silver depends heavily on your personal risk tolerance and proximity to retirement. Investors who prefer not to take big risks and who may be within ten years of their target retirement age may be better off using more of their portfolio (i.e.. In any case, supplementing your investment portfolio with alternative assets such as gold, silver, or cryptocurrencies can help provide hedge against wider market instability.

For example, recent stock market instability has been countered by multi-year highs in spot prices for gold, silver, palladium, and a bull run on Bitcoin and Ethereum.. As macroeconomic uncertainty has cast doubt on traditional markets, more and more investors are diversifying with uncorrelated assets such as gold.. Still undecided? Luckily, we’ve interviewed some of the brightest minds in alternative investments to help you find a Gold IRA financing strategy that works for you.. Watch our exclusive interview with 10 top financial advisors on IRA allocation of gold and silver.

Of particular interest is the third question, which should prompt you to search within yourself for your true intentions.. We find that in most cases, our readers’ answers can fit into three major orientations that describe the investor’s motives for opening a Gold IRA. We’ve listed each of them below.. The diversification orientation describes those who want to invest in precious metals to protect their portfolio from excessive exposure to stocks, bonds and other traditional assets.

Many risk-conscious investors diversify with gold to limit potential losses in the event of a stock market downturn or recessionary event.. This orientation is well suited for a precious metal allocation of 5 to 10%. In other words, investors should consider dedicating roughly as much of the total value of their portfolio to precious metals assets such as gold, silver, or platinum.. Spending more than that percentage on these assets is likely to be too conservative for investors with such risk tolerance..

Investors looking at currency depreciation or widespread inflation should consider dedicating a larger portion of their portfolio to gold or silver.. Since gold has long been regarded as a strategic hedge against inflation, a gold IRA rollover can help investors protect their assets from a steadily declining US. Investors seeking a safe haven from inflation should consider increasing their exposure to precious metals. Gold or silver ranging from 10 to 20% may be an appropriate option for investors who are bearish against the US.

If the dollar continues to fall back, those with precious metals stocks are likely to fare better than those who don’t. Those who are most concerned about the overall state of the economy and whether it can be sustained in the future would be better off dedicating a larger portion of their wealth to precious metals.. Gold and silver are generally regarded as “disaster hedges,” as they tend to increase in value when the geopolitical or global environment becomes unstable.. Investors who want systemic protection against collapse or war should consider investing much more of their assets in precious metals.

At the top of the recommended allocation scale, this allocation provides for around 20 to 30% of gold investments.. Investments in unapproved assets may result in penalties or fines.. To be on the safe side, it helps to simply invest in gold bars as opposed to rare coins.. If you insist on investing in gold coins, read our list of the best IRA-approved gold coins thoroughly.

There are two main forms of exposure to gold.. This describes cold carbide bars that are stored in secure vaults by trusted third-party custodians. The second is referred to as “paper gold” and describes any type of gold-based security, such as. B. a gold mining stock or an ETF.. Aside from perhaps convenience, it would be difficult to argue the advantages of paper gold over real metal bars.

Although some investors praise gold stocks for their additional liquidity, this is a double-edged sword as increased liquidity makes it easier to buy and sell the asset quickly.. As a result, paper gold is known to be more volatile than physical metal commodities.. You must deal with a physical gold IRA rollover if you really want to reap the benefits of gold investments.. In the event of runaway inflation or a complete economic collapse, the gold stocks you own may be worth little more than the paper they’re printed on..

Still not sold? Below, we’ve outlined some of the key benefits of physical gold investments compared to securities-based gold exposure. While these benefits are not exclusive to precious metals, they are some of the most compelling reasons why gold and other metals have a rightful place in many investors’ portfolios.. If you’re opening a regular Traditional or Roth IRA, simply head to your local Vanguard or Fidelity Investments branch and apply for a new IRA locally.. Gold IRA rollovers are a bit more complicated though..

Traditional brokers like Fidelity and Charles Shwab don’t support Gold IRAs. To open a Gold IRA, you need to research and select a Gold IRA depository. This is the company that initiates and facilitates your Gold IRA rollover with your existing IRA or 401 (k) provider. A reputable custodian will work with you to ensure that your holdings are kept secure while complying with IRS protocols and regulations..

Trusted Gold IRA companies support the rollover process from start to finish. These companies are completely transparent and provide you with all the documentation and documentation required to complete the rollover in advance, with no hidden clauses or fees attached at the end. It goes without saying that a company with a solid reputation and customer satisfaction profile is paramount when buying a Gold IRA provider.. Unfortunately, there are companies with malicious intentions that prey on unsuspecting customers..

Please note that only IRS-approved non-bank trustees can operate a precious metal vault. If your custodian doesn’t mention that it’s been approved by the IRS, move on to another option. Other sellers are trying smarter to sell inferior gold or numismatic coins that are not approved for an IRA. To stay away from bad players, check our list of IRA-approved precious metals.

For employer-sponsored accounts, e.g.. B. 401 (k) or 457 (b), you may need to facilitate the rollover after you have terminated your employment with the company. This is because certain employers prohibit rollovers from one account to another.. In some cases, you may be able to perform a partial rollover while you are still employed after you have reached the age of 59.5. Sometimes any movement of funds from one retirement account to another is called a “rollover.”.

However, it’s important to note that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) makes a clear distinction between a rollover and a “transfer.”. In the event of a rollover, the money transferred is paid out to you and you then deposit the money into the other account. When making a transfer, the original IRA custodian transfers the money directly to the new IRA custodian that you designate to receive the funds.. Essentially, you never see the money in person.

Transfers from custodian to custodian are the most common way to set up self-directed IRAs such as a Gold IRA with the exit of qualifying funds.. A new account will be created with an IRS approved IRA depository, which, with your consent, will request the transfer of IRA assets from your existing retirement account. The custodian bank can then accept the money and invest the assets in accordance with your instructions.. If you opt for a rollover, it is also highly recommended that you perform a “direct” rollover instead of an “indirect” rollover..

Indirect rollovers have withholding tax requirements and run the risk of early distribution penalties.. The IRS has strict rules and regulations for Gold IRA accounts. The most important rule for self-regulated IRAs such as gold IRAs is that federal law requires you to use an approved IRA custodian to open this type of retirement account.. It is extremely important to note that you never purchase gold or other precious metals in person with your IRA account funds..

The IRS requires that your IRA account administrator perform the actual transactions on your behalf.. You simply give instructions to your custodian bank so they can start buying precious metals.. They will make all arrangements for shipping and insurance when they complete the transaction. Once your gold is purchased, it must be stored like a gold IRA in accordance with IRS regulations for precious metal IRAs..

The custodian of your new Gold IRA receives your precious metals and then transfers them to an IRS-sanctioned external depository. You can choose the depository that is being used, or vice versa, you can use the one with which the account administrator already has an existing relationship. You inventory and protect your gold holdings to the point where you specifically tell your account administrator to either sell or distribute your gold to you.. At this point, the payouts will be sent to your home address via insured delivery.

With a direct IRA transfer from custodian to custodian, you don’t have to worry about the 60-day transfer rule as you never receive the money. The transfer is usually made directly between the respective IRA custodian banks by bank transfer.. The original IRA custodian can also make the transfer by writing a check issued to the receiving IRA’s custodian and mailing it.. This is the easiest way to invest in gold via your IRA, as everything is handled in the background by your existing and new custodian bank..

It is recommended that you select the option to make a “direct rollover” with your 401 (k) funds.. With a direct rollover, you’ll never receive a check for your distribution, but your 401 (k) plan provider will transfer the money directly to your new IRA plan. If you’re certain that a Gold IRA rollover is right for you, you can start by browsing our list of the best Gold IRA companies. There you’ll find all the information you need to kick-start your rollover and enjoy the wealth-creating benefits of true diversification..

While you’re at it, take your investment strategy one step further by investing in other risk-managed alternative assets. For deep diversification, you can add a Bitcoin IRA to your investment portfolio or add other cryptocurrencies to your self-directed IRA or 401 (k). You can buy gold coins and gold bars and other precious metals in a self-directed IRA or 401 (k) established with a trust company. A self-directed plan allows individuals to make their own investment decisions and expands the investment options available.

Precious metals are among these options.. Here’s a list of items you can include in your IRA. In fact, retirement savings for most precious metals at USAGOLD start with a rollover.. The applicable law allows both transfers of IRAs and rollovers from qualifying retirement plans such as 401 (k), 401 (a), 403 (b), 457, Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) and pensions.

We have lots of experience with this process and can help you manage it with a minimum of brain damage, Q. Should I buy gold for my IRA or 401 (k)? A. For the conservative, risk-averse investor who is concerned about economic uncertainties and instability in the financial system, the answer is an unequivocal “yes.”. Former Fed Chair Alan Greenspan recently remarked: “Gold is a good place to invest money these days because its value as a currency is outside of government policies..

The reasons for owning gold within a retirement plan are the same as outside the plan.. All rules, particularly with regard to tax treatment, that apply to conventional retirement plans, also apply to self-directed plans.. In general, traditional plans do not allow diversification into physical gold due to the unique circumstances associated with the possession of precious metals — storage, insurance and custody obligations. As a rule, the customer who is planning to retire and wants to buy precious metals in physical form, i.e..

The client then transfers funds from their current trustee to a new trustee, which makes these special transactions possible.. We are currently working directly with two trust companies that offer self-directed plans.. Self-directed trustees do not provide investment advice.
