Ladies and gentlemen… gold is back.

That’s right, the yellow metal is up $100 in the past month, and it’s up over 20% since its August lows of last summer.

The Fed’s recent signal of a possible rate cut to counter economic headwinds has helped drive gold higher.

But perhaps even more important is the new global record of $13 trillion in negative-yielding sovereign bonds.

Never in 5,000 years of history – until now – have sovereign bonds paid negative yields.

Yet gold is reacting the way it always has, attracting investors as they seek shelter from economic and geopolitical storms.
