Barry Dawes of Martin Place Securities takes a look at the current state of the market to explain why he believes silver may outperform gold.

The gold price is moving up again and is in a wave 3 that could show strong acceleration from here. US$2800 is not very far away now, giving the potential for US$3000 to be seen at this rally.

Silver has lagged gold by a long way but it seems now ready to play catch up. The breakthrough US$32 is important, and it suggests that the previous high of US$50 could be tested quite quickly.

Gold stocks are now ready to break out with the XAU and are about to pass through long-term resistance at 165.

Those North American gold indices XAU and HUI have broken their 13-year downtrends, so they should now really fly, REALLY FLY.

Note the 20-year XAU versus silver chart below; they are performing together.

As noted here previously, silver seems to be more aligned with the animal spirits that push gold stocks higher rather than gold itself being the driver.

This helps to explain why small cap gold stocks have underperformed the gold price and the big cap gold indices.

The prices of ALL commodities are now starting to move, so watch oil, coal, copper, lithium, grains, and fertilizers.

Futures are already almost at US$2,700.

US$2,800 should be a breeze.

Gold will outperform stocks, but there is no crash coming.
