Today is Sunday 17th December 2017 and we are providing our gold and silver weekly update for the week ending 15th December
Gold rose $6 last week from $1,248 to $1,254 having hit a high of $1,261 and a low of $1,237. In sterling terms gold finished the week at £941 that’s up £9, and in Euros it closed at 1,067 Euros that’s up 7 Euros on the week.
Silver rose 21 cents from $15.84 to $16.05 having hit a high of $16.14 and a low of $15.64. In sterling terms it closed at £12.04 that’s up 21 pence for the week and in Euros it closed at 13.66 euros that’s up 0.21 euros.
The Gold to Silver Ratio fell slightly from 78.78:1 to 78.13:1
The Dow Jones closed on Friday at 24,651 up 143 points on the day and up 322 points on the week, and the NASDAQ closed at 6,936 up 80 points on the day and up 96 points on the week.
Brent Crude fell 17 cents from $63.40 to $63.23 and US Light Crude fell 6 cents from $57.36 to $57.30
The dollar index stands at 93.93 up 0.03 on the week.
Gold moved back and forth last week ending a little stronger on Friday but falling back from the week’s peak. We did notice that both the highs and lows were lower than the previous week, which suggests to us that this small rally is unconvincing.
Gold should have risen more, especially, as we predicted the FED raised interest rates once again but were rather dovish about the level of rate rises for 2018 and 2019 – citing 3 rises per year – albeit small ones. So 3 raises this year despite Peter Schiff claiming that the FED could never raise interest rates again in the middle of 2016 and four having occurred since then. GDP figures for September were raised from 2.1% to 2.5% and inflation for 2018 has been forecast at 1.6% falling from the envisaged 1.7% - so frankly we should have seen a more robust recovery from gold.
That said, the start of the New Year has certainly in recent years seen a rise in precious metal prices, but we believe this will be tempered by the apparent attractiveness of bitcoin as an alternative – albeit a short term one and also the likelihood that the Trump Tax Plan will pass the Senate on Tuesday – thereby potentially causing stock markets to rise even further and putting a further dampening pressure on gold.
Silver rose again Friday and seems to like the $16 level. Many analysts believe that $15.50 is an incredibly strong floor while $18 is an incredibly strong ceiling and that vacillation between these amounts is what we are to expect over coming months. We don’t disagree, save that we can see silver dipping closer to $15 but hey what’s 50 cents?
Gold and silver prices are now going to obtain their direction from 2 key areas short term – the value of the dollar and any infraction with North Korea – both of which can cause higher precious metal prices. The Mueller investigation can also play its part, especially, if, as some commentators are suggesting, that President Trump sacks Mueller later this week. We shall have to wait and see – though we know he’s capable of it, the advice his lawyers are giving him is very different to that course of action.
So we have an interesting week ahead – at least politically and to be frank, we are not expecting any great excitement in either direction for precious metal prices save the caveats we have mentioned.

This site provides links to random videos hosted at YouTube, with the emphasis on random. 🎥
Origins of the Idea 🌱
The original idea for this site stemmed from the need to benchmark the popularity of a video against the general population of YouTube videos. 🧠
Challenges Faced 🤔
Obtaining a large sample of videos was crucial for accurate ranking, but YouTube lacks a direct method to gather random video IDs.
Even searching for random strings on YouTube doesn't yield truly random results, complicating the process further. 🔍
Creating Truly Random Links 🛠️
The YouTube API offers additional functions enabling the discovery of more random videos. Through inventive techniques and a touch of space-time manipulation, we've achieved a process yielding nearly 100% random links to YouTube videos.
