Commodities, Precious Metals Are Tumbling - Give Up China Rate-Cut "Hope" Gains & More

Tyler Durden's picture




 

That's not supposed to happen...

 

 

If rate cuts create "growth" and stocks are discounting that "growth" then why are "growth"-oriented commodities dumping?

Or did China just admit by action that its economy is much more screwed-er than its GDP data suggests...?

 

Crude even lower no - 2 month lows...

That pretty much puts to rest the notion that gold is a "commodity".

"What if I saved somone from Purchasing.................when they could buy it cheaper later."

 

Perhaps, if they like their gold to be made of paper.

Since almost all gold-miners are at or close to break-even, any further drop in physical AU's spot price is directly reflected in (1) higher premiums, and (2) higher scarcity of available phyz sellers.

It's the ultimate counter-intuitiveness of "free markets" - the cheaper it gets, the less of it is for sale.

Anyone who sells when the paper price determines physical price is either desperate or mad. When paper contracts default and only ownership counts, that is the time to think about selling.

If you noted that the central bank (you choose which one) OBVIOUSLY lacked quality collateral...and you understood that your digits, FRNs, or preferred currency were checks drawing upon that impaired collateral...and hence AT LEAST AS IMPAIRED AS THE COLLATERAL BACKING THEM... what would you do?

Would you pretend nothing is wrong until the end?

Would you collect the currency, think it will make you wealthy, like people collected CDO's in 2007?

Or would you resolve that in the absence of viable banks or central banks, that you must become a microcosm of a Central Bank?

If you did...what asset would you choose to secure the value of your checks? 

Or perhaps you have some better idea?

Let's hear it!

I have a big position in SPXS but I figured this week would be crazy with ECB so I hedged short position by buying long(SPXL) lol. So I haven't lost a penny in this week's crazy rally. I suspect around SPX 2080 would be at least short term resistance. So I'll dump SPXL with a good profit and add more to SPXS around 2080 or so(chich already hit once in pre market but missed. I'm pretty confident it will revisit sometime today during market hours).

My plan for gold before this morning's opening was to buy on Monday. I never chase markets, so I thought I might need to alter my plans, but the reversal suggests otherwise. As for my short position in stocks, I'm riding the loss for now. Not trading today...market discipline requires a timeout.

I don't know how screwed China/Russia is relative to how screwed the US/EU/Japan is. 

Neither do you.

And despite the implication of this article, neither do the Chinese, Russian, US, EU, and Japanese economic authorities.

If it were possible for them to know it would be possible for central planning to work.  Inasmuchas central planning defeats price discovery, which in turn makes it impossible to guage the relative value of wants, needs, and products...it is not possible for those authorities to actually know the real status of their economies.

The attempt to centrally plan economies via monetary policy has a legacy, and that legacy is economic blindness.

That blindness is universal in proportion to the central control exercised.

So, sorry, Vlad isn't a savior, nor is Xi.  Not 'The Bern', nor 'Trump'.

If there is a savior, it must be you and me.

Big deal.  One reserve is down 1,500 tonnes, that's not much. 

In that same period, 2011 to 2015, there have been 10,000 tonnes of new gold mined.  Bugs don't put the big picture in prespective.    Over the next decade, there's going to be ANOTHER 24,000 tonnes mined and ADDED to the gold stockpile.  

For the price of gold to be maintained, there has to be a market for 2,400 tonnes of NEW gold per year.

While I said nothing about gold, it is the same situation.  It is a big deal.  You look at a ticker and think there is meaning there.  There is none.  2400 tons of gold would not pay for one month of QE--And that is before it gets leveraged up 10 x 1.  I am not interested in arguing this.  I know has happened, and what will happen.  I am not trying to convince you of anything.  You think that because there is one ounce for sale, then it is all worth zero.  I think that because there is 18 trillion in US debt, all paper is worth 1/100th of its current purchasing power, and the bankers will commit fraud they can to last another day.  That is just the way it is.

WTF are you talking about?  Your entire post was referencing gold, including your link.  You only didn't mention the word "gold". 

 

As for 2400 tonnes, again your comment is entirely meaningless.   That new gold is SOLD by the miners, meaning someone has to BUY it.   Has nothing to do with QE money creation or "paying" for QE. 

 

You think that because there is one ounce for sale, then it is all worth zero.

?????  And what does that mean?

No they don't.  The link does not reference gold.  The post does not reference gold.  All the gold produced every year does not equal 1 month of QE.  1 month of QE is equal to 5 years of silver production.  No matter what you think, history will repeat and paper will die.  All the analysis I do merely indicates it won't be very long.  It is not a question of "if".

And like I said, I am not interested in arguing it.  I already know.  Compounding hyper inflations or complete currency failure are all that is coming.  I don't care what you think.  I don't care what the bankers try to do to stop it.  It is not my job to convince you of anything.  You can just experience it like everyone else who didn't do the math or read a history book.

Not going to pretend that this arrogant manipulation of the paper gold and silver market does not bother me. In fact I am f*cking sick of it and totally ready and prepared to go f*cking medievil on someone's ass. It really bothers me to have my own government engaged in working against my best interests and spending an unknown amount of my tax dollars to do it. Yes, I know that the BIS does much of the dirty work along with our NWO corrupted "private" bullion banks.

Putin has the right idea for a good start by issuing arrest warrants for Rothschild and Soros. Iceland has the right idea with prosecuting Rothschild bankers.

Since most knee grows do not own gold, our POS government will never do anything to stop this manipulation or audit the FED or anything constructive.

Lastly, you f*cktards that say this does not hurt because you keep stacking or because you have not lost any ounces or that you never considered gold to be an investment....................I think you are actually self deceiving pussies.
