By the way a different “top market analyst”– one who breathes at the same time as me ;) - has said

Without some ‘extremely good fortune’, you can’t even get it out of the ground for $800 USD

The problem the Fed, as gatekeeper of the financial universe, confronts is that it is faced with battling deflation. A dollar tomorrow is worth more than the same dollar today. Strategically, it makes more sense to not spend or invest and wait. It, the Fed, wishes it succeeded in creating inflation, but it has not.

and why must the fed "battle" 'deflation' ??

 

The bubble has burst; asset prices have gone down.

 

Secondly, our debt in real terms, gets bigger and bigger instead of smaller and smaller the way it does with inflation.

 

To the fed: Inflation is good. Deflation is bad. To anyone holding assets: Inflation is good. Deflation is bad.

 

Not saying why or if it should, just offering why it might be battling deflation.

MM weez still awaiting the bursting of the present bubble...please look at a monthly chart...yes...the bubble of 2007/2008 bursted...monthly chart shows you what happened right after the kaboom.

 

The fed has been a huffing and a puffing blowing up the last bubble. From 2009 till the present.. It is the "greatest bubble". It has yet to go ..caboom... They know it could go kaboom anytime...now..12 months..24 months...it could go kaboom tomm. they will not be able to contain the kaboom once it blows...The only thing driving this rise in indices is the QE...banks and institutions are investing it...sheeple are jumping on....guess who will short it just before the bubble bursts? Yep you got it...fed will look after banks..they will be forewarned when time is real close...but even fed can't be 100% precise on it..anything could be the match that lights the fuse....some major banks will listen..some smaller ones won't..some major won't....there is NO solid economy driving this market. The feds are. They are making the biggest bubble in history...it will come close to wiping out the middle class.

 

Then we have the dollar..and interest rates.. they desperately want to drive it down...or gov can't even pay interest on debt...they do not want interest rates to go up or it will be the end...regardless of what they say....

 

But they have a major problem....if they beat the dollar too much the world will punch back...that is why they had to beat gold down to make investors skittish on gold and see the dollar as the safe haven...fed is desperate to keep the dollar as the reserve currency...USA lose that status and it's over...dollar will be worthless..it is basically worthless already but what but what keeps it up peoples beliefs..it is a ponzi scheme as long as people play it and believe in it it continues until________________. you fill in the blank. There is no intrinsic value to fiat money except what people "believe" it is worth.

 

Monthly charts will show you the bubbles and the results when they burst.......she heading south ...boys...south...all things are bearish.....except gold..silver..etc

 

If PM soar off anytime within next couple of years it is over for the dollar...then the "greatest bubble" will burst..are you ready?

Bob,

how did you come up with 21.50? Your red circle?

 

Hi Dan

What is this red circle? Putacas games?

I spent a whole year of my trading life studying Market Profile.

I made $ Sweet FA...... this stands for very little in German.

So my own version of Market Profile is VOLUME ON PRICE.

When there is no volume , there is no price, no interest, a VACUUM,and PRICE will close this vacuum with ease (I hope)

So put volume on price on your chart and see what happens

Is there a GAP ?

Thats my idea of a trading opportunity.

kind regards

Hi Dan

AH ,you mean the red "rectangle'

 

I just drew a rectangle between a low and a high, where there was NO VOLUME.

I have given away too many secrets and will not discuss this anymore, except with ALL MEMBERS of TL.If you arn't a member, you are dead. :(

Hi Silver

Heres the Gann fan for you

The Green double arc acts as resistance.

The silver price went right through and closed above

But it was a small candle. Thats uncertainty.

The whole house could come toppleing down.

Asia closed FLAT or just about.

I will watch Gold Futures.

Anything I post in this thread is off topic because it is a thread - for the purposes of trading - about whether gold is bullorbear in relation to fiat currencies …

    • Date: 25th February 2025.   Markets on Edge as Trump’s Tariff Plans Shake Global Trade and Investor Sentiment.   Financial markets continue to experience heightened volatility as US President Donald Trump reaffirms plans to impose tariffs on goods from Canada and Mexico, a move expected to take effect next week. However, scepticism remains, as such tariffs on essential goods like propane and avocados would have an immediate and visible impact on US consumers. Current polls indicate only 32% of American voters approve of Trump’s handling of inflation, adding further uncertainty to market sentiment. President Donald Trump announced a one-month delay on tariff hikes for Canadian and Mexican imports, further escalating tensions. Additionally, a 10% tariff on Chinese imports linked to fentanyl production has heightened trade concerns. Market sentiment has been impacted, with the University of Michigan’s consumer sentiment index dropping by 10% in the past month due to fears over inflation and tariffs. Asian Markets and US-China Tensions Asian markets suffered significant declines, particularly in Japan, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, as Trump’s new directives on curbing Chinese investments raised concerns. His administration is also pushing for stricter semiconductor export controls, a move that could further strain US-China relations. The latest measures include discussions with Japan and the Netherlands to limit maintenance support for semiconductor equipment used in China. Despite initial losses, Chinese technology stocks rebounded, with mainland investors injecting over $1 billion into Hong Kong stocks. This underscores Beijing’s commitment to achieving technological self-sufficiency, a priority for President Xi Jinping in the ongoing tech rivalry with the U.S. While Chinese internet giants had recently enjoyed a rally, Trump’s renewed restrictions introduced fresh geopolitical risks, weighing on investor confidence. US Stock Market Struggles Amid Tariff Uncertainty Stocks declined, and US Treasury yields fell to their lowest levels in over two months as concerns mounted over Trump’s tariff plans and investment restrictions on China. European equity index futures pointed to a weaker open following a selloff in US stocks. Meanwhile, Chinese shares experienced whipsaw movements, and the Dollar weakened for a second consecutive day. With only a month into his presidency, investors are increasingly cautious about Trump’s policies and their potential impact on economic growth. This uncertainty has driven a flight to safe-haven assets, with gold surging 12% since the start of the year. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell and other officials have reiterated their stance of maintaining current interest rates, citing persistent inflationary pressures. US stocks continued to slide on Monday following last week’s sharp losses. The S&P 500 dipped 0.5% to 5,983.25, while the Nasdaq Composite lost 1.2% to 19,286.92. However, the Dow Jones Industrial Average inched up 0.1% to 43,461.21. Berkshire Hathaway climbed 4.1% after reporting strong operating profits, yet Warren Buffett’s firm remains cautious, holding $334.2 billion in unused cash. Starbucks gained 1.3% after announcing 1,100 corporate job cuts to streamline operations under CEO Brian Niccol. In Japan, trading houses saw a surge in stock prices after Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway signalled plans to increase its holdings. Mitsubishi Corp. led the rally, climbing 9.2%—its biggest gain in a year—while Marubeni Corp. and Mitsui & Co. also posted strong advances. Buffett’s interest in Japanese trading houses underscores their diversification across industries, making them resilient to market fluctuations. Nvidia’s Earnings and AI Market Disruptions Nvidia, a major driver of the AI boom, is set to release earnings on Wednesday. The market is watching closely after China’s DeepSeek announced an AI model that rivals US technology without requiring high-end chips. This development has sparked concerns about demand for AI-related infrastructure, causing Nvidia shares to drop 3.1%, weighing on the S&P 500.         Commodities and Corporate Movements The commodity sector also faced significant developments, particularly in the cobalt market. A surprise four-month export ban from the Democratic Republic of Congo, the world’s largest cobalt producer, sent shockwaves through the industry. The move aims to curb global oversupply, but it has also raised concerns about supply chain disruptions in the battery and alloy industries. Gold Prices Retreat as Investors Take Profits Gold prices eased after hitting fresh record highs, as investors took profits amid expectations of a Federal Reserve rate cut and growing haven demand. Spot gold fell 0.5% to $2,937.65 per ounce. Gold-backed ETFs saw their largest net inflows since 2022, fueled by market uncertainty surrounding US trade policies and economic outlook. Lower Treasury yields also contributed to gold’s strength after a well-received two-year note auction. Analysts from ANZ Banking Group noted increasing physical flows into gold ETFs as investors seek safe-haven assets. US crude oil gained 52 cents to $71.22 per barrel, while Brent crude climbed 0.7% to $74.75 per barrel. In currency markets, the US dollar weakened slightly against the Japanese yen at 149.50, while the Euro strengthened to $1.0473. Bitcoin, often viewed as a “Trump trade,” also slid amid the uncertainty.   Always trade with strict risk management.

    • Date: 24th February 2025.   German Markets Surge as Friedrich Merz Set To Be Chancellor, Euro Gains on Fiscal Shift   Germany’s stock index futures and the euro rallied after opposition leader Friedrich Merz secured victory. Investors expect a shift toward increased government spending. US-China trade tensions rise as Trump tightens restrictions on Chinese investments. AI optimism fuels Chinese tech stocks despite regulatory concerns. Nvidia’s earnings report on Wednesday is expected to impact market volatility. German Markets React to Election Results Germany’s stock market and currency experienced a sharp rally in Asian trading after conservative leader Friedrich Merz won the country’s federal election. This victory aligns with pre-election polls and signals a potential departure from Germany’s traditionally strict fiscal policies. Futures tied to the DAX Index surged as much as 1.5% on Monday, recovering from early losses in a session marked by thin trading volume. Meanwhile, the euro strengthened against most major currencies, climbing 0.7% against the U.S. dollar. Market analysts believe Merz’s leadership could mark the end of Germany’s tight fiscal stance, with expectations that his administration will prioritize economic stimulus. This shift comes at a critical time, as Europe’s largest economy grapples with sluggish growth, geopolitical uncertainties, and the threat of a global trade war under U.S. President Donald Trump. The euro’s strength also reflects optimism that Merz will form a government quickly, which wasn’t a widely held expectation before the election.     US-China Trade Tensions Intensify While European markets gained, US-China trade tensions escalated as Trump ordered stricter regulations on Chinese investments in key sectors, including technology, energy, and infrastructure. The move is part of a broader strategy to limit China’s influence in strategic industries. Although not legally binding, the directive strengthens oversight by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), a panel responsible for reviewing foreign acquisitions. JPMorgan strategists warned that this decision could reverse gains in Chinese tech stocks, which had rallied earlier in the year. Despite geopolitical headwinds, Chinese technology stocks have posted strong gains this year, largely driven by optimism in artificial intelligence (AI) and key policy shifts. The market remains under-owned by global investors, suggesting potential for further capital inflows. The growing AI industry has helped offset risks from US tariffs, with investor sentiment remaining bullish on leading Chinese firms like Alibaba and Tencent. Chinese officials reacted strongly, with Vice Premier He Lifeng raising concerns about Trump’s recent 10% tariff hike on Chinese goods in a call with US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. Additionally, sources revealed that Trump’s administration urged Mexico to impose tariffs on Chinese imports as part of broader trade negotiations.   Despite these challenges, investor focus remains on Nvidia’s earnings report on Wednesday, a key event that could drive market volatility.   Gold Nears Record Highs on Inflation and Central Bank Demand Gold prices held near $2,940 an ounce, just shy of last week’s record, as ETF inflows surged and the US dollar weakened. The precious metal is on its longest winning streak since 2020, fueled by rising inflation expectations and mounting geopolitical uncertainties under Trump’s administration. Lower US Treasury yields have also boosted bullion’s appeal, with traders now expecting the Federal Reserve’s first rate cut in July rather than September. Markets will closely watch Friday’s inflation data, a key indicator for Fed policy direction. Final Thoughts Markets are reacting to a mix of political and economic shifts, with Germany’s election outcome boosting European equities while US-China trade tensions create uncertainty for Asian markets. Investors will be closely monitoring fiscal policy changes in Germany, Nvidia’s earnings, and further trade developments for insights into market direction.
