Oil Tops $83, Gold Over $1255 As Commodities Spike Higher & Riyal Slides To 2009 Lows

Tyler Durden's picture




 

It is unclear what the catalyst is - aside from the bounce back from The FT's rejection of Reuters rumor-spreading about ECB corporate bond buying but instead of the usual morning smackdown, precious metals are spiking higher. Gold hit $1255 - its highest in over 5 weeks). Oil is also spiking higher, WTI just broke above $83 (so much for that consumer tax cut?)

 

 

And oil is spiking too...

 

For now its unclear what is driving this BUT we do note that Saudi's Riyal has tumbled notably away from its peg in recent days... weakest since Jan 2009

So the vast majority of new Amerikan production is only losing like $2 per barrel now?  

They surely can make this up on volume.

They are letting gold rise a bit, so they'll have room to smash when they announce QE4.

SilverDoctors is allowing him to post his blog until he gets another site up.   Google said they had a court order to pull his sight but Harvey has asked them 5 times to produce it and they haven't. It was interesting timing since harvey had just done an interview with Greg Hunter where he indicated the silver manipulaiton would come to a head in December. Hunter is trying to get him on to do another interview on USAwatchDog.com

Here is the interview harvey did with Hunter

Physical Gold existed at $260 and I bought some at $260.

 

Physical Gold existed at $1050 and I had also bought it at $1050.

 

Physical Gold existed at $1900 and I bought it at $1900.

 

But...You know...I am not selling. Why do that?

don't worry....there's plenty of time.  these prices are great and below avg. cost of production until the paper silver price gets back up to around 23 to 26 dollars.  So don't worry...have your dry powder ready to stack on payday...just don't buy a bunch.  Buy 20oz's and then wait and see what happens. 

I think they will trickle up the prices to around 25 for the rest of the year as they try to unwind their shorts.  After 25 though there really isn't a lot of resistance and I think I'll buy up to 25 and then wait.  I feel they will let it run up to 30 to sucker a bunch of chasers in and then they'll hammer it back down to 25 or lower again to mind-fuck some weak hands.

When that bottom is established around 24/25 or so then it'll slowly go back up over a long period of time. 

Just my humble prediction...been thinking this all year but it won't really get rolling until they allow it to get solidly back above 21 or so.

Never was a big fan of the total manipulation theme. Sure, short term markets can be moved about in a thin volume setting. But from 300 to 1,900 in a few years and back to 1,200.These are markets and they do what they want to do and many times fundamentals do not matter. Just look at todays mega company earnings and check out the futures. This is beyond funny. It is pathetic. But have not sold one share of miners, one ounce of the silvery color stuff or one ounce of my shiny stash. Our patience will pay off. Keep that hand on the tiller.

The closing manipulation is the one that they will cover in the news.  The fractional gold and the tail wagging the dog manipulation is so structural that they do not even acknowledge that it is manipulation.  They view it as part of management.  Volker called it managing the price of gold.

Well...actually the price depends upon where you get your supply.

 

Paper Gold is not Gold. It is paper.

 

And that price for that paper Gold is headed to ZERO.

 

Of course nobody on God's Green Earth will be selling their Gold at that price.

 

Onward to $7 Gold. A Uncle Milton Friedman fairy tale come true.

Analysis of the current international situation by using nonlinear models with critical limits showed that the world is in a similar situation as the imminent start of the 2nd World War. Making arms on debt as a way of solving the economic crisis and unemployment exports are similar to those in the 30s of the last century. As global trade especially in the area of ??commodity rises and falls with the petrodollar, is there an attempt to completely eliminate any exceptions. Today's gradual transition BRICS countries on gold- ruble crisis accelerates the trend in Western countries and reveals the greatest weakness of their prosperity -life on debt, which in many world powers have achieved more than 60% of GDP (France, Ireland, Italy, Israel, Japan, Canada, Germany, UK, USA, Spain, ...).

 

Most important, however, seems to be finding that most of the "developed" countries (especially the USA) wants to solve its economic problems in a similar way as Hitler in the 30s -  gradually sparking local and global conflicts.
