Gold & Silver Surge As Schizophrenic Stocks Slump-And-Pump

Tyler Durden's picture




 

As the world hopes for "no comment" from The Fed tomorrow, anxiety in markets remains very evident... This about sums it up!

 

Stocks continued yesterday's weakness overnight... ramped obdeiently into the open in NY... then plunged on bad data and Iran Ship Seizure headlines before v-shape-recovering thanks to someone's generosity in selling massive amounts of protection (VIX) just as you would ahead of any FOMC??!!

 

Stocks clung to modest gains somehow despite weakness in Biotechs and AAPL... but Nasdaq unhderperformed...

 

Some may have missed the fact that once again the broken market was used to slow the descent of markets... Nasdaq feeds were down for 7 minutes and that enabled some rescue among the VWAP-mongers...

 

All thanks to the Kathmandu Pattern in VIX...

 

Because nothing says Sell Vol to 2015 lows like an FOMC meeting...

 

and AAPL ended at its lows... $140 Billion is just not enough - just ask Icahn

 

Biotech bounced but could not hold it...

 

TWTR "accidentally" released earnings before the bell... and turmoil ensued

 

Oops...

 

Treasury yields leaked higher all day long - as they somewhat ubiquitously do ahead of FOMC meetings... (and despite a strong 5Y Auction) 30Y Yields blew 9bps higher - 3rd biggest move this year

 

The USDollar slid lower from the early start ofthe US session with huge AUD strength...

 

Dollar weakness helped extend gains in commodities but gold and silver were the big movers... Gold's biggest 2-day move in 3 months, Silver's biggest 2-day rise in 5 months

 

Crude's reaction to the Iran ship seizure news is evident here but disappeared quickly as The Pentagon confirmed it was a non-US Ship...

 

Gold and Silver have quite a couple of days... that will never be allowed aftwer the FOMC surely...

I have been conditioned over the last 3+ years to expect a gold smackdown any time the price shows strength.  I wonder what the oligarchs will be telling the Fed to say...

UNlike paper currencies gold and silver are finite.

 

Keynes forgot that.

  Many moons ago. Lots of books and smart peoples, not unlike those on the Z/H crew. Thanks for the kind comment.

 FWIW, I think the Fed. is going to be a big nothing~burger tomorrow. With that in mind, and the markets expecting a dovish (same-ole-shit) statement, I'd say the risk is to the downside.

  The rate issue is priced in and actual fundamentals are starting to take hold. Either way, I'd be a seller. Stronger $usd on some unforseen hawkishness, is bad for equities.

  If the Fed. remains dovish, the market fundamentals kick in and the $usd strengthens, as the equities sell off.

“I Wanna be Libated”  by the Ramones

Twenty more months of ZIRP to go, assets are inflated
Nothing to do, just watch them scramble to keep things elevated

Just keep liquidity flowin’, like the Tampa rain
Get me through next year without an ounce of pain
Don’t wanna make no trades, don’t wanna use my brain
Oh no, oh-oh oh-oh

Twenty, thirty more V-bottoms to go, the market’s bein’ gyrated
But that just means when rate hikes start, they’ll need to be prorated

Just sit me in my armchair, and serve that ham from Spain
Warm up my big Samsung, it’s ‘Squawk Box’ time again
I drift right off to sleep, just dreamin’ of my gains
Oh yes, oh-oh oh-oh

Hawks said Lift-off’s ready to go, but growth looks stagnated
All dressed up with nowhere to go – their timing seems ill-fated

Just plead to our Fed Chair, remind her we had snow
Hurry hurry hurry, before the hawks explode
She can direct the algos, but can’t control her foes
Oh no, oh-oh oh-oh

Ba ba baba, baba ba baba, my drink evaporated
Ba ba baba, baba ba baba, I wanna be libated

Well, thanks, you're very kind, glad you enjoy them.  Not sure the daily pace can continue without moving to less familiar or non-70s stuff, though sometimes ZH-ers surprise me.  Pernice Bros parody got 4 votes, and I didn't expect they would be familiar to most folks.

If by "surge" you mean "flutter dangerously close to 'sell range'," then I totally agree. Silver bugs are strung out and looking to dump.

Paper Au has yet to hit its 50% fib retractment level from the runup. 

I'm probably trying to discern too much from the tea leaves, but until it does I'm hesitant to buy any more Au or Ag. If it does, I'm backing up the truck.

I know it requires a stretch of the imagination to contemplate the mathematical probability involved here, but let me just take a wild guess & say that some privileged jew money counterfeitters profited from this 'surprise' turnabout move which was over in an instant.

It has been amazing how weak gold and (especially) silver have been recently given the gross monetary mismanagement by the cabal - except when one considers what the cabal's objectives are and the tactics they have used to perpetuate this imbalance.

Their interests are best served by a slavish adherence to US$ overvaluation because only by preserving artificially valued fiat currencies is their power maintained.  Any serious student of the PM markets has witnessed massive abuse of the paper PM markets at the hands of central and money center banks in their (so far) successful attempt to supress PM prices.  The CFTC and other regulatory agencies have been complicit in allowing them to violate regulations that govern position size limits which are designed to protect ethical price discovery, producers and traders.

Bottoms are difficult to call, but it is hard to deny that at some point the reality of economics needs to set in.  As PM prices increase, and as equity markets inevitably correct, portfolio allocations are likely to shift to a higher commitment to precious metals – more in line with historical norms.  Given the total amount of capital currently committed to equities, even a modest shift of portfolio allocations toward PM’s will result in continued futures pressure and shortages of physical.  Exact timing is difficult to predict but the number of recent coincident price supportive events and the price strength in the last couple of days suggests that we may have hit an inflection point in PM pricing.

One additional wildcard is that if in fact China is beginning a "disallusionment curve" with regard to real estate and equity pricing, there could by a massive reallocation soon by the Chinese to assets that are not geographically dependent.  When you look at the population effected and potential cash flows associated with such a shift, this could also contribute to a global mindset change with regard to PM's.  We all know that when sentiment changes in the PM market the pricing effects can be dramatic.
