NEW YORK (August 15) Gold has seen its best performance in decades in 2024 amid its climb to a new record high of $2,483.35, and while the yellow metal has struggled to rally above $2,480 on three separate occasions, one analyst says it's only a matter of time before it succeeds and breaks above $2,500.

Gold and silver to rally through the end of 2024, copper likely to lag

Despite the rise to $2,500 an ounce, gold is still below where it was in 1971 in terms of percentage of assets on the Federal Reserve's balance sheet. Back on August 15, 1971 - exactly 53 years ago yesterday - gold made up 12% of Fed assets. Today, even at $2,500, it makes up less than 9%. By those metrics, we are lower now at $2,500 than we were at $35 in 1971. From that point, gold rose by a factor of 24x to the 1980 top. A repeat of that move brings us to a top of about $60,000 per ounce.

A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law. As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.
