Tough day
We’re straddling. Dollar up 4 straight days. We need a strong bounce here in the next couple of days, and with the Fed meeting it’s hard to see a lot of promise.
Wing and a prayer.
Poor Greece
Someone told me their olive oil production

The latest evacuations were ordered in south Rhodes after 19,000 people, mostly tourists, were moved in buses and boats over the weekend out of the path of the fire that reached several coastal areas from nearby mountains. Authorities have called it the largest fire evacuation in Greece’s history.

GOP candidate Vivek Ramaswamy sues World Economic Forum in landmark case
Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy is suing the World Economic Forum, claiming the Swiss-based organization falsely portrayed him as one of its “young global leaders” and refused to take his name off its website for two years.
Ramaswamy, 37, the son of immigrants from India who says he is worth $500 million, does not want to be associated with the WEF’s “progressive” and “radical” policies and positions, according to the lawsuit, which was filed Wednesday in a Cincinnati, Ohio, court.
Major political figures as varied as Russia’s Vladimir Putin, then-German Chancellor Angela Merkel, French President Emmanuel Macron and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau have been “Young Global Leaders” (YGLs) under the aegis of the WEF.
But Ramaswamy is among many conservatives and others who think the WEF, which holds a splashy conference every year in the Swiss alpine town of Davos, is run by elites who are orchestrating what the WEF literally calls a “new world order.”
“This is an organization that does a lot of wrong and I’ve opposed it publicly and believe it should be held accountable,” Ramaswamy told The Post.
“The WEF has a radical worldview that rejects the principles America was founded on. I’m not interested in being a ‘global citizen.’ I’m an American.”
The WEF was established in 1971 by German mechanical engineer Klaus Schwab, 85

Watching UUP as a proxy for the dollar
Technically UUP filled the gap this am between 28-28.10 and has now retreated back below 28. I’d like to see it resume the downside. The 10 yr. is down 4 bips to 3.80%. Both should be favorable to our metals, should being the operative word. So far, so good. PM’s are up a little.
Fed meeting this week, which is never a good thing, regardless of whether they raise or not, whether they’re done raising or not. Rare occasion when we respond favorably on the day or day after – they’ll stuff us one way or another.
The COT report is on my mind. Explains why we paused last week. It’s almost as if the scum had to match the longs with their shorts just to keep the metals in check. Still, I imagine open interest is pretty high in silver now. Mr. Copper follows that, I don’t have a clue. Just haven’t seen a scenario where heavy scum shorting hasn’t worked to bring prices down.
Another week.
Maya – funny
I imagine that mating season is quite the chorus. 🙂

I’m the only house in the neighborhood without an outdoor dog or three, so the feral cats invade my yard at night. They trip the solar motion-sensor lights on occasion. I guess flushing the catshit into the lawn is a small price to pay. They DO keep the rats away!
But the yeowling during mating season keeps me up sometimes.
