Craig Hemke - Are Precious Metals Repeating 2011, or Is a Base Forming?

In this Daily Editorial, Cory and Shad welcome back Craig Hemke, Founder and Editor of TF Metals Report, for an in-depth assessment of the ongoing downtrend across the precious metals complex. Craig breaks down the technical posture of the sector, the fundamental health of mining producers, and the macro forces driving current market behavior. Macro Trend: Secular Top or Massive Bull Flag? Craig evaluates whether current price action resembles the prolonged top from 2011 or if gold and silver are carving out an extended consolidation pattern. Producer Margins and Cost of Production: Why current prices still support robust cash flow for miners despite rising input costs, and where true production floors lie. Q3 Earnings and "Sell the News" Risk: Ahead of major reporting from producers like Newmont (NEM), we discuss whether strong balance sheets will spark a sustained rally or prompt investors to sell into strength. COMEX Open Interest and Market Structure: An analysis of collapsing open interest in silver and gold, changing CME margin requirements, and how thin liquidity accelerates intraday price swings. Technical Realities for Reversals: What the charts indicate about bottoming processes, how long recoveries take after extended declines, and why technical levels matter most right now.
