VIDEO - David Morgan: Gold is Above US$2,000, Silver is Playing Catch Up

The gold price hit yet another price milestone on Tuesday (August 4), breaking through US$2,000 per ounce for the first time ever and then continuing to rise.

For David Morgan, all signs show the third leg of the current market cycle has begun.

“The biggest move is in the third leg, which we’ve just entered. Gold proved it a couple of days ago — what you have to have is a new nominal high, which we had in gold, and now we’re getting that round number of US$2,000,” said Morgan, who is the publisher of the Morgan Report.

“Silver will catch up in my view, and probably … outperform,” he added.

Speaking about silver’s path forward, Morgan said that the US$26 per ounce level, which the white metal reached on Tuesday, is a key milestone. Beyond that, he expects silver to be able to push past US$50, where it has stalled twice before in the past.

“When you have a big resistance or a big support level and they are taken out, it usually takes three times as a minimum — so we stalled at US$50 in 1980, we stalled at US$50 in 2011. The next time through will be the third time, (and) I’m pretty certain that US$50 will be taken out,” Morgan explained.

Silver might get stuck there for awhile, but ultimately he believes that triple-digit silver is in the cards — though exactly how high it could go is hard to say right now.

Overall, Morgan believes that silver is the more compelling story than gold at the moment, but he emphasized that precious metals as a whole are currently well positioned.

“We are at the beginning of the biggest, most unbelievable run in the metals, I think,” he said. “I know the amount of fiat that’s been produced, and I know that people are catching on, and that’s the main thing … for those of us who survive financially, I think the precious metals will lead the way.”
