Delirium Ends with a Splitting Headache
“The market keeps trying to front-run these rate cuts, only to be disappointed,” said Kathy Jones, chief fixed income strategist at Charles Schwab. “In a different cycle, when inflation hadn’t spiked so much, I think the Fed would have been cutting rates already. This is a very different cycle. There is going to be much more caution on their part.” That is a lesson that both stock and bond markets have not been able to wrap their heads around no matter how often they lose that bet.

Try to Remember the Kind of November We Had in 2018
In November of 2018, it looked like the stock market’s rough year was finally behind it. October had taken stocks down, but November lifted then back up in a beautiful ascension to set things up for a lovely December Santa-Claus rally because everyone knows December is a generous month for stock gains. However, December of 2018 had an entirely different scenario in store.

Gold Mid-Tiers Miners Q3 2023 Fundamentals
The mid-tier and junior gold miners recently finished reporting their latest quarterly results. These smaller producers are fundamentally-superior, in the sweet spot for upside potential in major gold uplegs.

The Deeper Dive: The US Debt Doom Loop Is a Gordian knot
I said in a recent editorial that I might include some discussion in a “Deeper Dive” on the way Treasury buyers are drying up, which is highly predictive of a return to rising bond yields. That will have the effect of pushing all interest rates back up higher, regardless of what the Fed does. I’m covering that today as just one aspect of the complex US sovereign debt doom loop.

Doug Casey: Milei’s election is a big deal—potentially a very, very big deal. He’s the first declared anarcho-capitalist in history to head any country. And not by stealth. He, all the while, said that the State is the enemy and should be abolished.
Gold to Gold Stock Index Ratio Charts Portend Massive Prolonged Sector Bullmarket...
While the subject of this article, the ratios of the main Precious Metal stock indices to the price of gold, may seem rather dry and statistical and thus boring, if you are interested in weighing up the prospects of making serious money in the PM sector going forward it is not boring at all, especially as we don’t have to engage in any tedious number crunching or sifting through a great pile of statistics because, as ever, we boil it at all down to simple common sense comparison by means of...
Can A Crash Be Averted... For Now?
It has certainly been an interesting year or so since we struck the low in October of 2022. If you remember, most were looking for the market to head considerably lower at the time.

Technical Scoop: Magnificent Lead, Gold Poise, Lower CPI
Magnificent lead, gold poise, changin’ times, commodity stars, Argentinian outsider, bond appeal, lower CPI A U.S. Thanksgiving shortened week translated into a rather dull week for the markets. But once again led by the Magnificent Seven stock markets were up on the week. Since the TSX does not have the Magnificent Seven it actually was down small. Gold appears poised to break through its resistance and like a spring that has been held back it could explode to the upside.

No, Gold Market Manipulation Didn’t End in 2008
Dear Friend of GATA and Gold: Gold advocate John Rubino writes this month that the gold market used to be manipulated by Wall Street traders "spoofing" the futures market, by commercial fabricators trying to trick hedge funds and other speculators in the futures market, and by Western central banks lending gold to bullion banks so they would sell it into the market to depress the price and thereby defend government currencies against competition from the monetary metal.
Wars and Inflation - The Tricky Business of Conflict Finance
The History of Money: Installment 3 – Honest Abe Written By: Larry LaBorde Edited By: Christopher LaBorde This article was originally crafted by my father for his readers in February of 2004, but its content is possibly more relevant now than ever before with multiple proxy wars threatening to bring down the US financial system.

Americans May Soon Regret Trusting the Fed & Holding Cash
Over the longer term, gold and silver aren’t the only assets that have been trading in a range. Stocks have also been struggling to establish a trend either higher or lower over the past 3 years.

Both groups are grappling with uncertainty, and that means some people are on the sidelines.
