Are PM bulls worried/concerned/afraid that higher interest rates will squash demand for PMs?

Higher interest rates have proven to smack down PM prices in the past, are PM bulls concerned about another repeat?

Is there a yield at which demand for PMs drops in favor of a more stable guaranteed return?

    It’s always a threat.
    Yes to part two. It’s happening now at these levels of interest rates.

    Forward looking though the trend for gold is higher me thinks. It’ll be a slow grind to new highs. Patience is the operative word.

    In 1979-1980, interest rates were climbing significantly at the same time that the gold price was going up a lot.
    So both can increase at the same time. But, in general, rising interest rates can cut into the values of most assets (stocks, bonds, real estate, metals, art, etc).

    However, rising interest rates that result in greater government debt service payments will also put more money into the pockets of people that loaned money to the government. That can also provide an inflationary impetus.

    Will the US Treasury have to start printing even more money to make the higher debt service payments ? That is very possible.

    And higher interest rates could cause more problems for banks. Precious metal premiums have come down because, in my opinion, things have been quiet on the banking front (no new failures of any major banks for a while). But that could change any day if higher interest rates start causing stresses in bank portfolios.

    rates are up, gold is at near all times high. what is there not to understand?

    REAL interest rates are strongly positive today, they were negative in 1978-80.

    Gold is holding up which isn't bad.

    do people borrow money (at an interest rate) to buy PMs?

    I assume this is a rhetorical question. :D
    Most don't but a few with a gambling addiction will.

    In the last 2 months the 2 year yield has increased 112 basis points, the 5 year yield up 90 basis points and the 10 year up 50 basis points. Gold has dropped $150 and silver is down $4 in the same time.

    Didn't Deadhorse say he took out home equity loan to buy silver?

    This action was an increase in demand. If rates were higher at the time, would he have done the same? Probably not, therefore a reduction in demand.

    Do higher rates provide a headwind to PM prices as there are other alternatives for folk to park their cash? Is there a yield at which a PM investor would sell PMs to lock in a stable, guaranteed return?

    You're assuming that PM stackers only stack PMs. The ones I know keep a stack of PMs for a specific reason, a reason that is normally not swayed by other yields. For those market swings they stack other markets. I don't cancel my life insurance every time the doctor gives me a clean bill of health, I remain thankful that it is expiration date has not arrived.

    No, I don’t. I understand from your post you don’t care but someone else might wonder why so the following are my reasons.
    I view pms as a small percentage of my liquid net worth and I don’t chase yield with any of my investments or speculation. I don’t look at individual performance but overall portfolio performance.

  • blitzdudeblitzdude Posts: 5,886 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I've been selling the gutter but not the gold. I also haven't purchased much gold lately, but this is mostly due to the crazy premiums. Absolutely love these higher interest rates, what a blessing. Premiums are significantly easing up so I suspect back to normal purchase mode in the very near future. Rates would have to go double digits before I would sink cash in the bank over acquiring the metal of kings. RGDS!

    gold has done 6.5% and silver has done 14% in the past 12 months and one was not "locked in" for a year." In fact, during that time one could have sold his July 4 1922 gold or silver purchases for more than the 6.5%/14% one year gains because he was not locked in to a one year "hold." Volatility AND flexibility can be your friend.

    @derryb I agree. I’m just feeling a little risk adverse. And the older I get the less chance I’d make it through a SHTF event. And as for inflation I think I’m covered with my real estate holdings. They should keep up with inflation or exceed it. 100k in gold converted to a CD gets me another 500 a month to spend in my upcoming retirement

    100K in a SoFi account (4.3%) will get you $358 a month without tying up your money for a year.

    Is there a point at which one considers "will have" over "could have"? Is there a point where a guaranteed return is seen as greater than potential return?

    And please refrain from citing "specific dates" lest one be stoned by some villagers. Lol

    Agreed. However some may say PMs add a measure of uncertainty and volatility as opposed to a guaranteed return. Nothing more simple than a guaranteed return.

    You may not, but others will. Gold is a zero-interest bearing asset. It is hurt by rising rates, and especially rising REAL rates.

    That said, short- term fluctuations in nominal and real rates aside, gold is going much higher by 2030 and 2035. At least a double, maybe $5,000.

    So 6% a year? And it won't be a liner return so you never know when the big payday will come. One can get 6% on solid corporate paper and be able to plan around the cash flow.

    Happy Independence Day if you still celebrate that sort of thing. SEMPER!

    Happy Insurrection Day

    Lay off the sauce brother. I'm sure the sun is shining down there, go out and enjoy it for a few minutes. At least you have avoided all this wildfire smoke. You may even be able to take a deep breath. RGDS!

    Interesting chart. But do keep in mind.... that is a logarithmic chart. Do you have a regular linear chart to post just for comparison?

    chart is linear

    Actually we are both right.... and both wrong. It is semi-logarithmic. Note the left axis, the y axis.... the distance between 0 and 100.... is definitely not linear. The value of 10 is half the distance of the 100. Thus logarithmic.

    However,the x axis, the horizontal axis, is linear.

    It is an interesting graph.... but is also an interesting example of how the same date can be used to show different things. Those darned statistics! A linear - linear graph of the same data would not show the price rise between 0 and 10 due to scale, but will show large peaks between 10 and 100.

    @tincup, @derryb

    I agree, it’s an interesting graph.

    It’s correct, by the way, to call it logarithmic when the y axis is a log scale and the x axis is time. The key attribute of such a graph is that time dependent data that plots as a line has a constant rate of change.

    I don't care of PM stackers stack other stuff. This is a PM forum and I'm asking if PM stackers would be begin to stack yield instead of stacking PMs.

    There's a reason that rates are higher, and it's not a good one. I'll stay with something real, thank-you very much.

    There's no, absolutely no good reason to "churn the account" chasing yield. The yield curve inversion is the most it's ever been. There's nothing on the horizon to indicate that rates won't keep going much higher.
