The six-week correction in precious metals is grinding to a close as the December 10 Fed meeting approaches. The probability of a rate cut now stands at 90%.

It is all very gold positive.

If you can’t do options, buy the stock. My long-term target for the barbarous relic (GLD) is $500, up nearly a double from today’s $383.62.

Therefore, I am buying the SPDR Gold Shares (GLD) December 2025 $355-$360 vertical BULL CALL debit spread at $4.50 or best.

Don’t pay more than $4.70 or you will be chasing.

DO NOT USE MARKET ORDERS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.

If you don’t want to sit in front of a screen all day or live in a foreign time zone when the US stock market is closed, such as Australia, or don’t want to spend all day in front of a screen, simply enter a spread of Good-Until-Cancelled orders overnight, like $4.50, $4.55, $4.60, $4.65, and $4.70. You should get done on some or all of these.

The bull case for gold is simple. Falling interest rates mean less yield competition for gold, which yields nothing. China and Russia have been stockpiling gold for years to avoid international financial sanctions. The only way the Chinese can save right now is to buy gold.

A global gold shortage is developing, with new mine costs rising. Gold also offers protection against rising US debt, which is expected to hit $35 trillion shortly.

On top of all this, Chinese speculators have shifted their principal savings vehicle from real estate, which has crashed and has no future, to gold. This adds a large retail element that has never existed before.

SPDR Gold Shares (GLD) is a play on physical gold. They are shares in a corporation that owns 400-ounce gold bullion bars held by a London trust. It is far safer owning gold through the (GLD) than owning your own physical gold bars via a third-party custodian. If the custodian goes under, which is frequent, your gold is gone. With (GLD), your credit risk is with State Street, a highly rated firm with a strong balance sheet.

The best execution can be had by placing your bid for the entire spread in the middle market and waiting for the market to come to you. The difference between the bid and the offer on these deep-in-the-money spread trades can be enormous.

Don’t execute the legs individually, or you will end up losing much of your profit. Spread pricing can be very volatile on expiration months farther out.

Keep in mind that these are ballpark prices at best. After the alerts go out, prices can be all over the map.
