Schneider said market volatility driven by headlines shows how uncertain investors have become.

“They are emotional plays,”

Schneider said precious metals are ultimately driven by investor psychology rather than traditional macroeconomic models.

“This volatility is already the breakdown of the perception... Nobody knows what officials are doing. Nobody knows what to believe. Let's just sell the market. But there’s one thing we know that everybody's buying and we can go anywhere with is gold.”

Schneider said volatility and uncertainty about official actions are driving investors toward gold.

“If the gold-silver ratio breaks down under 69 and silver starts to outperform again, that is inflationary, then I would probably look to buy back silver,”

Schneider said her inflation trifecta—the gold-to-silver ratio, the U.S. dollar, and sugar prices—is starting to highlight renewed inflation pressures.

“I would say that is definitely a move I was expecting to see because a lot of the fundamental picture on gold really hasn't changed very much,”

Schneider said gold's 4% rally on Wednesday was not unexpected as the price had been consolidating around $4,000 an ounce for the prior two months.

“I'm very bullish for gold, but even more bullish for silver.”

Schneider said she is very bullish for gold but even more bullish for silver if inflation pressures broaden.

“The story came out about the U.S. buying yen to promote it and the economy... and I thought, 'Oh my God, this is all that we really need to get this gold market up,'”

Schneider said the real spark that ignited gold's powerful breakout came from Japan's currency intervention.

“If there’s a lack of confidence, people will buy gold. They always have, and they always will.”

Schneider said investors gravitate toward gold whenever trust in institutions begins to deteriorate.

“The biggest thing that we could see flip... is confidence.”

“I think once the confidence shifts... it won't matter what the rates are doing,”
