Finally,November is here, and the initial setup for the first week will be challenging,especially for the Gold market. We expect the Federal Reserve to acknowledgethe effectiveness of the QE program since the pandemic started, and with Covidcases declining, there will now be a need to taper. They will reduce assetpurchases by $15 billion each month, effectively taking it to zero by June,when their focus shifts to interest rate hikes. Additionally, Friday, we willhave the latest jobs reading, and with two straight months of disappointingfigures, we could be setting ourselves up for a blowout number.
I must reiterate that it is essential to have a "real assets"portfolio beyond Gold and Silver due to the type of inflation that we willcontinue to see. We will be targeting Copper, Platinum, Crude Oil, Wheat,Cotton, and Coffee. For many of these commodities, I have discussed the bullishnature of the fundamental backdrop in previous articles written.If you have never traded futures or commodities, I justcompleted a new educational guide that answers all your questions on how totransfer your current investing skills into trading "real assets,"such as the 10 oz Gold futures contract.

Weekly Platinum Chart
For those committed to metals, I would focus on far-dated Platinum futures asthe price trends lower. The current chip shortage has forced auto manufacturersto cut production temporarily; however, once they resolve the bottlenecks, weshould see auto manufacturers replenish their stockpiles. Ideally, a strategywe would implement for accounts 50K and up would be to buy 50 ounces ofPlatinum at $1015/oz and any decline below $995/oz and hold for a potential riseto $1250 by year-end 2022.
