Gold & Silver Suddenly Slammed As Dollar Surges

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Around 1030ET, The US Dollar suddenly went bid, driving broad-based commodity weakness. Silver had been creeping higher all morning but it appears someone wanted to keep it below its 50-day moving average and has thrown 1000s of contracts short at it, slamming the precious metal to the lows of the day... Gold also saw a sudden heavy volume monkey-hammering...

Silver back below 50DMA...

 

Gold slammed too...

 

Which all started as The USDollar went bid...

 

On the bright side, we asssume China will be backing up the truck at newly low prices...

Dear China, here is your chance to buy another 20 tons of gold at lower prices, signed BIS

Thank you Socrates.  I love that you are able to forecast pure financial fraud and the dumping of millions of ounces of futures that is, of course, devoid of all human emotion because all responsible fiduciaries want to sell as much, as quickly, as possible.

Now pass me my stupid sauce for this sheeple sammich.

This is probably just an attempt to scare weak-handed bulls for now. And it came exactly as we found out China increased their gold reserve in July by another 19 tons.

The technical indicators MACD, RSI, ADX with +DI/-DI and the candlesticks are all bullish now for gold. It looks like gold is heading towards 1140-1170 USD/oz the coming weeks. So my view is that this is just a very weak attempt to scare away some bulls.

From 1140 USD/oz however, gold might start a new downturn again, maybe even towards and below 1000 USD/oz.

I am not sure whether it makes much sense replying to a simpleton like you are. But, ok, look: Gold is no commodity. Gold is money. China made its "bought 19 t of gold in July" shot today, someone else had to fire back in order to neutralize China's attack. Of course the insider banks made money on both moves, no matter what Sokrates means.

Tsk, your brilliance is blinding to such a simpleton such as myself. It's just so great that I've accidentally, since I'm a moron, been buying gold since it was $300 per oz, Plus the property I built my house on and all the nifty little things I've collected that have high barter potential. Yep, the complete idiot I am, I've wasted and continue to waste all my fiat buying physical gold, silver, platinum and palladium instead of throwing at the markets like a super genius. I guess I'll go back to my corner and drool awhile, admiring your obvious super awesomeness....

Totally false. Many spikes have been on large contract buys and vice versa. Gold bugs will always cry manipulation when their investment drops and it's wave the magic wand time and claim no manipulation when it goes up. Samething happens with any stock investment. Just go to stocktwits and see any stock that drops is manipulation but when it goes up it's magically not. Show many any sustained yearly evidence of spikes down and spikes up resulting in what you claim, denoting blatant manipulation. You can't. You believe anything zerohedge spews, peter schiff etc who have been dead wrong on PM's, many with an invested interest in having gullible smucks buy gold and silver. There's always a small fraction of tin-foil hat, gullible, and an easily manipulated niche that will always exist and will be taken advantage of.

If you were foolish enough to buy PMs the past 5 years, when they were an obvious short, then you have no one to blame but your own gullibility and ignorance. Just like the people in the 80's who thought gold was going to the moon only to be wiped out. They too believed the dollar was going to 0. Many of them are now dead.

Gold is backed.

But the gold bugs will be on the wrong side of things if the worldwide financial system collapses.  Gold and silver will go into freefall.  PMs are only good in localized collapses, not in a worldwide collapse.

Exactly:

ANSWER: You are correct, as there is no PPT. This is precisely the sort of conspiracy theory that creates investigations every time. There are people who need to believe in powerful groups whom control everything for they need that image to justify being wrong. They say if God did not exist, man would create one. They have been doing that since Babylonian times. The same takes place in markets.

Japan tried to support their share market and lost. China did that and then turned to devaluation for in a sense that is like raising interest rates upon foreign capital inflows since it is a charge or loss on that foreign capital. The Japan bubble was in full swing when the yen and market were rising. That attracts foreign capital. A purely domestic rally in equities is distinguishable by a declining currency. China’s move was to drive a spike in foreign investors’ profits.

Nobody can support the market. They tried that during the Great Depression, but companies bought their shares back to try to support the price and went bankrupt. In his memoirs, Hoover apologized for starting the Senate investigations that gave birth to the SEC. He said he received a phone call that claimed there was a Democratic conspiracy to ruin the Republican Party by Socialists. Based only on that phone call and conspiracy theory, they launched an investigation to find that short, but no one was ever found.

Right from Martins mouth.

and he adivised a lot of central banks(according to him)

So he must know it.

Well actually it took about 400 years and in if you consider the eastern half of the empire, it survived another 800/1000. One could even argue that the Russian Orthodox part is still here or at least until 1991 depending how you interpret it.

But what's is a few centuries amoung friends.......err enemies. How dare you shisimistic(sp?) bastards make something on your own. Don't we have another Crusade or Inquisition or something we could do to them in Ukraine or Chechnya?

Well, it depends. 

I would put the actual start date of the collapse at Sept 11, 2001

You could argue the point of no return was 1992, becuse soon after the jobs started going overseas

There is a great argument that it's 1971 with the closing of the gold window, at that moment a 40 - 50 year collapse count-down timer started per historical analysis. 

There are other arguments that it's 1917

In all cases, it's already been YEARS.

That said, if you are a Gen-X there is a really strong chance you will see it in your lifetime. 

I am a Gen X-er, and all my life I have only see things get worse and worse. I was born around the pinacle of human achievement, the moon landing, and it has been a steady decline ever since.

You can't be serious!  Gold & silver out montize any fiat currency in the history of this world!  Have fun when you go to stock up once the SHTF and your C notes aren't worth the gas it took to get to the store.

If my US treasuries become worthless and stop paying interest,

and the USD becomes worthless,

THEN

you had better have good military-type survival skills AND weapons and lots of ammo to survive - PMs won't help you if the entire monetary, financial, governmental, economic, and social systems disintegrate.

You PM fanatics are operating in a mutually-reinforcing fantasy world.

You're beloved treasuries are already losing value when compared to real inflation.

My treasuries are not "beloved" - they are just an income-producing, capital-preserving investment.

YOUR beloved PMs are the emotional "investment" -

which produce ZERO income

AND

do NOT preserve capital

AND

do NOT appreciate faster than inflation - in fact they are LOSING value !

World gold council sez:

"Gold demand declined to 914.9t in the second quarter – a 12% year-on-year drop – as consumers faced a number of challenges. Jewellery demand came under pressure from negative consumer sentiment, while investment was undermined by stock market gains and a lacklustre price environment. On a half-yearly basis, global demand was 6% down at 1998.9t. The outlook for the second half of the year is more optimistic; there are signs that the recent drop in the gold price has sparked a revival in demand since the end of June."

WGC consistently supplies false data on world gold demand.  There are many web sites that report true SGE gold withdrawals.  Here are some:

"Dear China, here is your chance to buy another 20 tons of gold at lower prices, signed BIS"

Another 20 tons; spot on Tylers. This will go on until the west chokes in it's own debt-vomit.

Why are individuals who are so good at understanding what real money is at the same time so incompetent at navigating boats?

I don't think the Chinese are as dumb as the US colony, Japan. Able Abe has been trashing the Yen and driving local inflation higher. Citizens get financially nuked this time b/c they don't own gold. Maybe the Chinese will start preserving their wealth in real money. Moving from stocks to metal big time.
