After trying to call southern Ca little Mexico, attacking Trump supporters at rally’s carrying their flag, now the bum rushing the borders while they’ve made it harder for Americans to get residency’s there once the lefts got in I wouldn’t be surprised.
I don’t see any Mexican troops getting ready at the border like when Trump was in office.
Maybe Brics can send them money every month for nothing instead of us. Not that we should have to in the first place. They can earn it, through trade.

Even a German made a comment that sounded  a bit pro Brics on the messages named Steve.
He said in German :

Yuan and ruble are on the rise and a dedicated commodity-backed BRICS digital currency will follow.
Good go for it dude, see how fast it takes to put him on food and gas rations and a social credit score
That will be interesting though, what will our trust worthy leftist Central Banks have to offer with their digital currency nobody wants.
Not that they’ll be obligated or trusted to let anyone take possession, especially Americans after their antics of late and past  like deciding Venezuela social score wasn’t good enough to get their own gold back. 

Hikes .25. Now the jibber-jabber from Powell.

They’re coming in for a hit right now, so some pretty good back n forth.

HUI is still up 4 near the highs although NEM and AEM have been down all day.

They sure seem to have to expend a lot of energy for less effectiveness.

Maybe the Fed news has leaked already? Probably to the select few.

I think the Fed has bigger problems than the POG right now. The whole system is at risk.

They’ll raise a quarter point while sweating a lot.

That is very disrespectful to the Fed, and it’s like goading the Fed to raise rates. Its going to be very interesting to see what happens after they make their, scare the gold bugs announcement.

BRICS expanding fast.

I think you’re right. It was more like a falling US Dollar and loss of our Gold reserves, crisis. The USA was printing money like crazy after 1934, and with Gold officially at $34/oz, foreign nations were cashing in US Dollars for gold at $34 when it was worth about $140/oz. Public protests stopped the outflow of Gold in 1971, so Nixon stopped backing the dollar with Gold. So the Dollar dropped, and prices went up, so they raised rates to bring the dollar back up. We did not have a “too low rate” problem. After 1970 the foreign nations absorbed our industries, instead of our gold.

All we’re hearing about is all these big companies laying people off? I don’t understand these employment numbers. Fudged massively?

ADP 296K jobs created vs. 148K estimates.

Thought we’d get smashed on this but looks about the same.

I’m still perplexed, even more now…

It’s hard for me to see them be able pull that off again. Correct me if I’m wrong but I didn’t think we were in a banking crisis back then.

$69.61 – on the Nymex.

That’s perplexing to me.

Agreed. They say the Fed’s rate hikes were harder and faster than anything from the past, 5.5% up in one year? And Gold is holding above $2,000/oz.

I remember the 1970s rate hikes. I think they went from around 5% to 21% before “it” finally worked and they started a deflation in Gold’s high of $800 in 1980 down to $250/oz around 2001.

After 9/11/01 the USD was too high and they had to lower it so I stopped working and started trading PMs. But this time, the US citizens and our system are not able to afford high rates like 20%.

SSR Mining Price Target Raised to C$25.00/Share From C$22.50 by National Bank

Today is the most important Fed meeting in our lifetimes, after last month’s report and the report before that, and that, and…

Maybe my pride and ego are in the way and I’m not seeing things clearly, but I just don’t see cause for concern about anything the Fed does from here on out. They only have one option anymore really, and that’s to restart QE, especially if the Regionals start to crumble. There just are no options.

The SM has been a boom for the economy for over a decade without fail, but if it’s the banks, they’ve completely lost the markets going forward.

Usual stuff this am, dollar down, 10 yr. down a couple bips to 3.41%. Gold and silver flat but will not surely end where they are now. Soft and hard commodities are easing and mixed across the board.

I don’t see how they can win in this meeting. If they raise and say done, we rally. If they don’t, we rally. Even if they raise and say nothing, which would be worst case scenario.
