Metals look good but the shares are tied to the hip with the SM.
I think the shares were sat on ystydy , as they are trying to bear raid, stop the Gold rally…….What I hear comming out of Israel, is this
Israel must not give Hezbollah a preemptive blow.
– It is forbidden to occupy the strip.
– We were warned against harming civilians.
– Biden forced the introduction of “humanitarian aid”, and loosened the pressure of the blockade.
– The US will give $100 million in aid to the Strip.
– Six billion dollars to Iran were not frozen.
– The administration will continue to claim that there is “no direct evidence” of Iranian involvement in the attack, thus protecting the continuation of its disastrous policy in the IDF from American public opinion.
– The position of the United States is that the majority of Palestinians who voted for Hamas do not really support it.
– Biden reiterated his belief in the two-state solution.
On the other hand:
– We received a generous aid package (which will also deepen our military dependence on the Americans).
– Two aircraft carriers arrived in the area with the stated goal of preventing Hezbollah from attacking (but on the condition that we would not attack either. We agreed).
– “The cooperation was deepened” (that is, American representatives were screwed into our decision-making processes so that we do not decide anything that is not approved by them).
– We got a hug.
in brief:
Biden blocked any way to an unequivocal Israeli victory picture, something that would make it clear to our enemies that we are weak, and dependent on others. A historic visit indeed. He made an important contribution to tipping the balance of power in the region against us.
If this was to pan out then in theory we deescalate…for a while….hence the hit on PM’s and Oil…..Not sure anyone else will listen to such crap.
