Gold and Silver benefit from FED policy, inflation

Gold prices are hovering around a two-week high as of Friday, showing the biggest weekly gains in over two months as the US Federal Reserve keeps key policy rates unchanged, engendering investors optimism about commodity markets.
The Fed balance sheet is one of the drivers to the expanding money supply. The Feds monetary tools are used to keep rates low and cheap credit flowing. If the Fed keeps up the monetary stimulus, it will continue to drive inflation higher.
If the Fed were to ever try and taper, allowing longer-term rates to rise, it will put pressure on many areas of the economy, including the federal deficit.
In either case, Gold and Silver should benefit from high inflation if the Fed keeps printing or a shrinking economy if the Fed tapers.

Gold is the Real Safe Haven Asset

Gold is finally outperforming the way one would imagine. It's not always about the absolute performance as it is about the relative performance.
As Bitcoin surged from March 2020 through 2021, the market was convinced that Bitcoin was the "new" digital gold, the new store of value asset.
As Bitcoin surged to new highs at each passing day, this became a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Gold was seen as the stepchild, given no attention whatsoever as traders chased the greed and FOMO 100%+ returns in crypto assets.
Year to date, Gold is now up 6% vs. Bitcoin down 25%.
