| Gold Price Closed at $1319.50 Down $3.50 or -0.27% Posted: 25 Jul 2016 11:38 PM PDT
July is such a precious, peaceful month. I think we ought to ban political activity and news coverage the whole month, just so we could get some peace & refreshment. If y'all could drive through Robinson Branch with me where it's cool and the green sunlight trickles through the leaves, you'd vote for peace & refreshment, too. I woke up this morning thinking about gold & silver, something I don't usually do. It occurred to me that we will probably see metals moving sideways through at least half of August. If y'all had been through as many Augusts with gold & silver as I have, you'd be expecting them to begin rallying in the latter half of August. Markets are hesitating like a baseball flung in the air, just before it turns and starts down. US dollar index sustained its habits of slovenly weakness and lost 20 basis points (0.21%) to 97.32. Broke out of the triangle, but won't follow through. Still makes no sense. You'd have to be one speculatin' FOOL to sell dollars for euros now. I'm sorry, call me a tick-bitten, chigger-riddled, one-gallus hick, I just can't make a lick of sense out of the scrofulous dollar. Who would buy euros? Euro is one of the best arguments I know for owning gold. Well, it rose today 0.16% to $1.0993. Looking at that six month chart, it looks like the Nice Government Men are letting it down slowly. See what you think. http://schrts.co/HcRUv0 Yen has gotten snagged in its 50 DMA, & so far that's stopped its roll down the hill. Gained 0.3% today to 94.52. D'yall ever push an upright piano out a window? Once you get it on the window sill, you can just inch it out a little bit at a time & its weight is still mostly on your side or balanced. Right the second it gets overbalanced, that whole thing turns casters up in the air and falls 4 stories to the sidewalk. That's what this chart reminds me of: http://schrts.co/vtdPMb Yep, it's the S&P500. Today it lost another 6.55 (0.3%) trading sideways & closed 2,168.43. Dow looks the same. Lost 77.79 (0.42%) to 18,493.06. They're pushing further & further out that window, & one day they'll get overbalanced. OIL (WTIC) is trying to break down. http://schrts.co/vtdPMb Closed today below the lower channel line. On rising volume. Gold lost $3.60 (0.3%) to $1,319.50 on Comex. Silver subtracted 4.2¢ (0.2%) to 1961.5¢. Gold chart is right here, http://schrts.co/pI1ZgR You have to be patient enough to let any pattern work itself out, but gold has now traded into the nosecone formed by the bullish flag boundaries and the uptrend line from June. Bumped into the uptrend line today, but didn't close there. Unless it closes higher tomorrow, it runs the risk of breaking that uptrend line and falling back to the 50 DMA at $1,291. Silver's here, http://schrts.co/n7iIb4 Silver has traded out into the nose of a triangle and has about one more day before it will be squeezed out. Closed today right on the 20 DMA. I'm gonna get in trouble if I keep trying to say something when I've said all I had to say, so I'll say Good Night!

Wasserman Schultz resignation and decision not to 'gavel in' the convention is over-shadowed by the increasingly loud voices of Bernie (who will speak tonight) supporters booing any mention of Clinton-Kaine, but according to the mainstream media, Michelle Obama's headline speech tonight will bring the party together.

| Is China About to Shock the Market? Posted: 25 Jul 2016 02:39 PM PDT This post Is China About to Shock the Market? appeared first on Daily Reckoning. Did the U.S. just double-cross China under the Shanghai Accord? If so, China will act on its own to devalue the Chinese yuan. In that case, the Dow Jones Industrial Average could plunge to 16,450, and the S&P 500 could plunge to 1,925 in a matter of weeks, wiping out trillions of dollars of investor wealth. This is not guesswork. Plunges of over 10% in U.S. stock indices happened twice in the past year. Both times it was because of a combination of a stronger dollar and weaker yuan. It's happening again. And you need to understand the dynamics both to avoid losses and reap big gains by positioning ahead of the meltdown.
At The Great Wall of China in 1991. This visit was not long after the Tiananmen Square Massacre of June 4, 1989. Few Americans visited China at the time. Trade and investment relations were strained because of U.S. sanctions related to the massacre. I have visited China many times in the twenty-five years since my first visit and developed a network of contacts among government officials, private investors and academics to inform my investment analysis. Readers of Currency Wars Alert are familiar with the background of these currency gyrations and the Shanghai Accord. Here's a quick synopsis:
From early March to mid-May 2016, the Shanghai Accord worked like a charm. The yuan was stable against the dollar, and the dollar got weaker against the yen and euro. U.S. stocks staged a major rally from around 16,000 to almost 18,000 on the Dow Jones Industrial Index. It seemed that all was right with the world. Unfortunately, the Fed could not leave well enough alone. Instead of celebrating this truce in the currency wars, the Fed reneged on its weak dollar promise in May, and began talking about interest rate hikes possibly in June or July. The hawkish tone was expressed by several regional reserve bank presidents, notably James Bullard, Loretta Mester, and Esther George. The dollar rallied almost 4% in a few weeks. That's a huge move in currencies where changes are usually registered as small fractions of 1%. At that point, China felt double-crossed by the U.S. and began its third devaluation against the U.S. dollar. The first devaluation was the "shock" devaluation of August 10, 2015 where the yuan was devalued 3% overnight. The second devaluation was the "stealth" devaluation from December 2015 to January 2016. It was a stealth devaluation because China moved in small increments every day instead of one huge devaluation in a single day. The third devaluation is called the "cheater" devaluation because it reflected China's view that the U.S. was cheating on the Shanghai Accord. The cheater devaluation started in mid-May and continues today. The shock devaluation and the stealth devaluation both took place while the dollar was getting stronger in anticipation of U.S. rate hikes. Under the Shanghai Accord, the dollar got weaker, as agreed, and the yuan was relatively stable against the dollar. Finally, the Fed reneged and starting talking about rate hikes. The result was the dollar strengthened and the cheater devaluation began. What do all of the currency wars moves have to do with U.S. stocks? The answer is the USD/CNY cross-rate may be a more powerful determinant of stock prices than traditional barometers such as earnings, stock multiples or economic growth. This relationship is starkly illustrated in the chart below. As of mid-July, the Dow Jones Industrial Index (DJIA) hit all-time high of 18,533.05 and the S&P 500 also reached an all-time high of 2,166.89. But, those indices were close to those levels on two previous occasions, August 10, 2015 and December 16, 2015. Both times China began to devalue and both times U.S. stock markets sank like a stone. The DJIA dropped 11% (Aug. 10 to Aug. 25, 2015), and 12% (Dec. 16, 2015 to Feb. 11, 2016). If history repeats, DJIA could drop to 16,450 or lower, and the S&P could drop to 1,925 or lower. As the chart shows, that process of a new crash had already started in early June, but the crash was "saved by Brexit." The Brexit vote caused an immediate collapse in sterling and the euro and led to a "risk off" flight to quality in dollars, gold and U.S. stocks. Now that the Brexit bounce is over and stocks are at nosebleed levels, the question is will history repeat itself, or will this time be different?
At Currency Wars Alert, we use our proprietary IMPACT method to spot the next moves in major currency pairs. IMPACT is a method I learned in my work for the U.S. intelligence community including the CIA, and the Director of National Intelligence. It's based on what the intelligence community calls "indications and warnings." Even in the absence of perfect information, you can tell where you're going by unique signposts along the way. What are the indications and warnings we see on CNY/USD? Currency pairs don't move in a vacuum. They move in response to interest rate policy including forward guidance about policy. To a great extent, interest rates and exchange rates are reciprocals. If interest rates are higher, or expected to go higher, the currency will strengthen as capital flows in to take advantage of higher yields. If interest rates are lower, or expected to go lower, the currency will weaken as capital flows out in search of higher yields elsewhere. The knowledge that currency rates reflect trade deficits and surpluses is mostly obsolete. Capital flows dominate trade flows in the determination of exchange rates. When China devalued the yuan in August 2015, capital outflows surged. Once the yuan stabilized against the dollar in early 2016, the capital outflows were greatly reduced. Capital outflows from China will be one of the main indications and warnings we'll be watching in the months ahead to judge the impact of this latest Chinese devaluation. In the short-run, U.S. stocks are headed for a fall based on renewed tough talk by some Fed officials. The Fed is concerned that U.S. stocks are in bubble territory. They suggest that the easier financial conditions caused by higher stock prices make this a good time to raise interest rates. The rate hike talk then makes the dollar stronger and prompts China to weaken the yuan. The weak yuan triggers capital flight, which causes a spillover liquidity crunch, which in turn leads to a correction in U.S. stocks. Once the correction takes place, the Fed can rescue the stock market again with more dovish signals. This will weaken the dollar, stabilize the yuan, and reinstate the Shanghai Accord. Until then, the risks are that the Fed has not learned from its past mistakes and will ignore its responsibilities under the Shanghai Accord. August 2016 could be a replay of August 2015.

| Paul Mylchreest: Standoff in gold between speculators and price-suppressing banks Posted: 25 Jul 2016 12:10 PM PDT 3:09p ET Monday, July 25, 2016 Dear Friend of GATA and Gold: Market analyst Paul Mylchreest of ADM Investor Services International in London -- -- writes in the firm's Equity & Cross Asset Strategy letter today that there's a standoff in the gold futures market between the bullion banks and speculators; that the banks appear to have increased their naked shorting of gold to contain the price, anticipating that they will smash the price, panic the speculators into selling, and cover their shorts, as they often have done; but that there were three episodes during gold's bull market from 2001 through 2011 when this tactic of the banks failed and gold "went parabolic."

| Is This the Next Mobile Phone Movement? Posted: 25 Jul 2016 12:00 PM PDT This post Is This the Next Mobile Phone Movement? appeared first on Daily Reckoning. Trends are born. They grow and mature. Eventually, they reach old age and die. My research leads me to conclude we're on the cusp of a "clean phone" trend. This is when you want to catch a trend for the chance at the largest wealth — right at the start. As you'll see, this emerging trend is similar to the "clean food" trend that helped Whole Foods grow into a $10.6 billion company. The foundations of these two trends are also similar. Consumers knew chemically treated food was bad. They demanded clean food. Today, emerging research suggests cellphone use could be detrimental to your health. As the research compounds, consumers will demand clean phones too. Today, what I call "clean phone" tech is still in technology's womb. Those who act on the firms giving birth to this multibillion-dollar market segment could make enormous market gains. In trend forecasting, all things are connected. I call it Globalnomic. One trend impacts and feeds another, all the way around the world. To understand the market dynamics and growth potential of "clean phones" is to recognize the connection to "clean foods," a term I coined way back in 1993. How the Rise of Clean Phone Tech Will Mirror "Clean Food"For most millennials, it's ancient history. But for baby boomers and Gen X, when you went to the supermarket in the 1980s, the array of fruits and vegetables was limited. With lettuce, it was iceberg. Romaine, red leaf, Boston… forget about it. If you wanted variety and yearned for organic, the only place you'd find it in those pre-Trader Joe's and pre-Whole Foods days was in small health-food stores in the low-rent section of town. By the early 1990s, this began to change. The organic trend blossomed. Why? Despite claims by chemical companies such as DuPont that "used correctly, there should be negligible risk to human beings… chemicals that fight weeds, fungus and pests provide a major benefit in producing abundant, affordable food supply," a wide spectrum of an educated society began to make the connection. That connection was simple. Eating foods laced and produced with multiple combinations of chemicals and pesticides posed high health risks. Scientific evidence eventually confirmed the spectrum of ill effects of processed, chemically laden foods. Large-scale food producers could no longer deny the evidence. And as I predicted, a robust, growing countertrend parallel industry was born. While still a minority of the total food market, the $43 billion organic/clean food sector has steadily grown. Many of the small startups back then are now owned by corporate giants who were losing market share due to pay-more-to-stay-healthy consumers. "Clean Phones" Are ComingJust as I predicted the birth of the clean-food movement, we predict the rise of "clean phones" for essentially the same reason: A large market sector is ready to put its money where its health is. The world is wireless. And the smartphone and its comparable cousins are now the sources of numerous studies showing that radiation from the devices may be tied to brain cancer and other ailments. The health risk list keeps growing. In fact, initial findings of a study released in May by the federal National Toxicology Program found that radiation from radio-frequency exposure caused tumors in lab rats. Therefore, as evidence grows and public awareness regarding health risks of chronic cellphone use increases, particularly among children, the same market segment that pays for clean food will swiftly gravitate to "clean phones." Thus, safer cellphone devices that are effective and marketed with a "clean phone" theme and brand will corner a market with rich and growing potential. Till next time, Gerald Celente

| Hubris, Instability and Entertainment - The Only Thing That Grows Is Debt Posted: 25 Jul 2016 09:48 AM PDT John McDonnell, UK Shadow Chancellor of the Treasury (at least it sounds important) appealed to his -Labour- party on Sunday morning TV to “stop trying to destroy the party”, and of course I’m thinking NO, please don’t stop, keep at it, it’s so much fun. When you watch a building collapse, you want it to go all the way, not stop somewhere in the middle and get patched up with band-aids. It’s alright, let it crumble, it’s had its day. And if it’s any consolation, you’re not alone. Nor is that some freak coincidence. ‘Labour’-like parties (the ‘formerly left’) all over the world are disintegrating. Which is no surprise; they haven’t represented laborers for decades. They’ve become the left wing -and even that mostly in name only- of a monotone bland centrist political blob. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| The Greenback Fires a Warning Shot: Are Commodities in Trouble? Posted: 25 Jul 2016 06:58 AM PDT This post The Greenback Fires a Warning Shot: Are Commodities in Trouble? appeared first on Daily Reckoning. The U.S. dollar has fired a warning shot across the bow of the commodities market. Anyone exposed to metals, miners, and oil plays needs to heed the dollar's threat. If the greenback continues to press higher, we can expect more short-term pain in the commodity space. Let me set the scene for you… For the first half of 2016, the U.S. Dollar Index drifted lower. But in early May is where things really get interesting. The buck tripped and fell flat on its face, tumbling below its 2015 lows. The dollar was quite literally teetering on the brink. It was threatening to give back most of its 2014-2015 rally. But the big breakdown never happened. Instead, the dollar ripped higher. Last week, it staged a massive breakout that could snap the greenback out of a 16-month funk—and unleash hell on the commodities market.
The dollar has reversed its fortunes and is now firmly above its 200-day moving average thanks to last week's breakout. Now, it's pushing toward its March highs. Many commodities are reacting negatively to the dollar's renewed strength. We've already seen the effects of a resurgent dollar on crude. Oil topped out at $51 in early June and slowly slipped lower ever since. It's now 14% off its highs and breaking below critical levels:
Crude's down another 1% early this morning. The selling pressure doesn't look like it's going to let up anytime soon. If oil settles in the red today, it will have closed lower five out of the past six trading days… Of course, energy isn't the only group feeling the heat of a strong dollar. Gold and other precious metals are in a precarious spot this morning as they fight to remain above critical levels. It's no secret that gold has dominated the market this year. Gold futures have trounced the major averages. The metal is up 25% year-to-date, compared to gains of a little more than 6% for the S&P 500. Gold miners have showered traders with even bigger gains. The VanEck Vectors Gold Miners ETF (NYSE:GDX) has returned 110% so far this year. Not bad for a group of stocks that went nowhere but down for five straight years…
So far during this dollar rally, gold and other precious metals have held up much better than oil. Gold's only about 4% off its highs. But it's quickly nearing an important support zone. If gold is going to maintain even a fraction of the momentum from its recent breakout, it's going to need to stay above $1,290. That's the level you should watch closely… Of course, all of this action is happening smack in the middle of central bank meetings. We have FOMC and the Bank of Japan potentially throwing wrenches in the gears this week. Both could utter a few magic words that could sharply extend the dollar's rally. Keep a tight leash on your commodity plays this week. If the greenback continues to rip higher, we could see more pain throughout the sector… Sincerely, Greg Guenthner P.S.

| Silver Manipulation – Because They Needed the Eggs Posted: 25 Jul 2016 02:58 AM PDT “It reminds me of that old joke- you know, a guy walks into a psychiatrist's office and says, hey doc, my brother's crazy! He thinks he's a chicken. Then the doc says, why don't you turn him in? Then the guy says, I would but I need the eggs. I guess that's how I feel about relationships. They're totally crazy, irrational, and absurd, but we keep going through it because we need the eggs.” - Woody Allen While there is no question of government enabling, (by decree or inaction), market manipulations haven’t really changed all that much in character over the centuries. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Gold Demand Remains Stable During Sector Weakness Posted: 24 Jul 2016 03:41 AM PDT My favorite indicator for real time Gold demand is the amount of Gold in the GLD and its fluctuations over time. As we wrote in our book , the driving force for Gold is investment demand which is driven by changes in real interest rates. Western-based investment demand from big money (i.e Stan Druckenmiller and George Soros) shows up mostly in the ETFs and specifically, GLD. The amount of Gold in GLD has risen steadily even as Gold consolidated a few months back and has been stable in recent weeks even as Gold and gold stocks correct their Brexit breakouts. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Stock Market Has Topped; GDX Continues Down Posted: 24 Jul 2016 03:25 AM PDT The signs of a stock market top came on July 22 when the SPX made a truncated pseudo 5th wave failure at 2175. There were many astro/cyclical signs pointing to a July 19/20th top. My thinking regarding a continuation higher for the stock market is now not warranted. GDX is about to break an important uptrend line and the technical/cyclical read is down hard next week to near $25 +/- .20. Gold and silver could make a final bottom in early August. |
