Gold & Silver Are Soaring

Tyler Durden's picture




 

The USDollar continues its slide since 10amET (now unchanged on the week) as Gold and Silver just legged higher once again. Gold is now over $40 off the day's lows and Silver has broken above $16. Increased chatter about the Swiss Gold Initiative is being blamed for now (as EURCHF tests down to 1.2011 - inching ever closer to testing the 1.20 peg. Oddly, last Friday was also a major melt-up day for precious metals. Treasury yields are also plunging as desk chatter notes limited liquidity - also reflected in the stock markets EKG-like moves.

Gold-to-Silver ratio has tumbled from 75.5x to 73.5x...

 

As Futures surge...

After that comment, gold is going lower.  Did the banks call you and ask for permission to buy?

Agreed. Same thing happened last week. This is all just noise. I doubt that Swiss gold initiative will pass either. These things have a strange way of being narrowly defeated. Hope it does though. Even if we see a few days of gains, I don't see gold crossing 1400 absent some kind of major calamity or currency crisis. This nice up day can be easily dealt with Sunday night with a few thousand futures dumps. That's my prediction anyway.

...not exactly "soaring" IMHO... as long as the TPTB continue to manipulate the gold price to be low so they with the abetting of the MSM keep the sheeple convinced Au is a bad investment so they can secretly continue to load up on it, it will be low. They could giveash*t that the low prices enable the ruskies and Chinese to load up on Au at bargain basement prices in massive quantities......

Greenspan is talking a good game, lately.  He spent his entire tenure at the Fed trashing the barbarous relic in speech and in gold sales/leasing deals.  So kinda forked-tounge.

I have my fair share so am wanting it to soar.  But, what I have seen too often is that it skyrockets one or two percent in one day then falls a similar amount, or more, the next day. <sigh...> 

It seems like some entity is electronically sniffing the buy/sell signals, gets in nano-seconds early, and makes a killing.  A one percent per day return will make you rich very quickly.

The reason for the rise is simple. Just about every article on sites like MarketWatch have been blasting to sell gold, the commodity super cycle is dead, oil to $40 a barrell, yada, yada, yada. Yep, these bozos are never wrong are they? However, it is interesting to note that the last two big moves in PMs have been on Friday's. Tells me that someone is getting nervous going into the weekends. Maybe they miss timed it a little bit (as PMs dropped earlier this week) but somewhere and at some point, there's going to be a major problem disclosed over a weekend. GOFO rates are telling the same story as they hit -.20 yesterday.

so gold has made it from the bottom of the pothole up to the water line, still deep in the mud...

The price of gold...either way...is irrelevant (unless you are luck enough to be buying physical).

All gold is priced on the Forex. All this news is telling us is that a currency event caused gold to move up. the same type of events could send gold to 900 next week.

None of this has anything to do with metal. This is all fractional reserve gold bullion banking. 'Gold' and the Zimbabwe dollar have far more in common than the metal does to the current price.

Look to the remaining physical stores that could potentially come to market to meet the need for physical, then set your watch...when they are gone the derivative market will all suddenly get very sick. XAU/ XXX is a major pair in Forex trading. Far more XAU/XXX gets traded than any other form of gold derivative. As long as physical moves (at least to the right people) the derivative market will function. This strengthening of the dollar is not what the Fed wants and so something weird must be going on. 

I certainly have no window into the actions of big money but my guess is that something must not be going like they want. Maybe it is the Yen and it's breakaway move but the dollar deflation we are seeing just wasn't supposed to happen. At this rate the US government will never be able to inflate away it's debts.

This could be the turn, it would be nice, but one day does not make a market, lets see if we hold into the close and then have follow thru next week. And most important, if it is the bottom, we would get rid of the idiot trolls that berate us here all the time. They would have to move on to the Yahoo finance board where the other brilliant and intelligent traders hang out. They would feel right at home there.

Sticking with my update posted the other day.  1270ish very possible but still looking for THE bottom 950-1150 more likely 950-1050.  I know those zones are so big even a CNBC employee could mention them but that's how I see it and I was saying 1150 for sure many months ago.

Now for BTC my last two stances sucked big monkey dick admittedly so fade this one:  could be major reversal under way currently for multi-month bull move . . . . . . but could also have one more leg down to 280ish.  I'm chipping away in this entire zone laying down some cutesie little bunts with an occasional line drive single as this game is way, way, way in the early stages.
