Advisor Metals Precious Metals Market Update for May 17, 2025

Did Gold revert to the mean this past week?  Yes!

I was a week early.  Gold did revert to its 50-day moving average on Thursday which can be defined as reverting to the mean and closed 15 dollars above it and was down 1.27% for the week.  Both the 50-day and 200-day moving averages continue to be upward sloping with gold about 350 dollars above its 200-day moving average which shows the longer-term trend.  Silver remains between the flat 50-day and 200-day moving averages and increased .78% for the week.

The inflation numbers for April 2025 were released this week.  On Tuesday the Consumer Price Index (CPI) was released and showed a +.2 % increase from March and +2.8% increase over the last 12 months.  The Producer Price Index (PPI) was released on Thursday and showed a -.4% decline from March and +3.1% increase over the last 12 months.  Am I the only one confused?

Stay the course.  Buy metals on dips.  Hedge your assets with metals.  And hold for the long-term.

Until next time…
