Compared with gold OCT 2018 futures contracts.
As the SP500 0.38% has dived over the past two weeks, gold futures 0.18% have finally started to incline after long and heavy tailwinds kept them from gaining traction. As we move into a more inflationary environment and the market outlook looks more bearish , gold -0.05% will continue to provide be a classic hedge and we'll see futures rise. Silver futures 0.60% are also an excellent hedge that has seen more volatility and is nicely poised for bullish ETF option plays on silver-tracking ETF's, for example. Now may be a good time to add gold -0.05% and/or silver -0.07% to your portfolio, either with futures or ETFs.
