Gold Finally Behaved Like Gold Last Week
Wall Street’s latest case of the yips finally injected some much needed life into precious metal futures. Gold, silver and platinum have floundered near 52-week lows or worse in the midst of a seemingly unassailable U.S. Dollar and generally stable commodity prices.

Gold May Have Bottomed Out
The SPDR Gold Trust ( GLD) and the gold futures contract have turned higher at key retracement levels in reaction to spiking volatility and may have bottomed out, despite the Federal Reserve's aggressive rate hike schedule. This buying spike could signal better times for gold bugs and mining companies dependent on pricing for the yellow metal while adding firepower to an expanding commodity sector uptrend that could last well into the next decade. President's Trump blistering criticism of the Federal Reserve may have contributed to the rally because few folks underestimate his power to politicize the central bank in the coming years.

How RAAX Offers a Risk-Managed Approach to Investing
RAAX only invests in asset classes that the model is bullish on, and the weightings themselves are not an indication of conviction but are instead determined by RAAX’s optimization process that seeks to maximize diversification and minimize volatility.
