“All of us are slightly open mouthed at the strong rises in both gold and in particular silver, of late,” said Julian Phillips, founder of and contributor to GoldForecaster.com, in a recent note, according to MarketWatch. “The prime reasons for the rises are that both their technical pictures have moved out of the consolidation area into ‘new territory’ [and] silver’s breakout is clearer than gold’s at this moment.”
“Over the coming weeks and months the ramifications of ‘Brexit’ on the global economy will give us a measure of just how much of a Teutonic shift in the world economy it was,” he said. “The most visible impact has been a lowering of the expectations for interest rates and the heightened economic risks to the world.”
