I sure appreciate your ongoing analysis. Glad you made it back from your vacation!
Captain
Look at the dollar strength this am – and oil.
Seems pretty odd to me. War coming?
I’m with you on the bullion banks, I’d love to see them hammered and exposed.
Maddog @ 9:20
I agree … the main mover in the gold market is central bank buying IMO. Having said that, if some deep pockets entity is buying boatloads of gold options then that certainly won’t hurt.

It is a very welcome thing to see after all these years. I’d love to see a real explosion today and then some tiny announcement after the markets close about how the Crimex is experiencing “shortages”.
I suspect that’s what they’d do. Try to cover it up somehow on a Friday evening before all Hades breaks out on a Monday morning and then spreads to London.
They still haven’t started to raid the smaller dealers yet, at least not mine. When we see “out of stock” on 100 oz. silver bars then we’ll know TSHTF.
It is surprising to see this with the SM struggling a little and the dollar up sharply. Somehow rates are down. Oil up $2 as well.
If I didn’t know better, I’d think something is breaking.
Buygold @ 8:10
They don’t – those who can arbitrage it – accelerating the move in the metals from West to East.
Maddog @ 6:40
Unless they can engineer some sort of a reversal today – Monday could be very interesting indeed for the bullion banks.
Chuckle … snort.

re options
Doubt that is driving this mkt….the buying is too big and now we have some real volatility, options prices will be well expensive…..This looks and smells like Far Eastern buying in massive size….the way we keep closing near the Highs, says the dealers are taking all day to cover……and I dunno about the US…but I have not heard a peep about this bull mkt in the MSM here. the public are nowhere to be seen, as of now…..
Total Nonsense

Is Someone Cornering The Gold Market Using Options?
Strong inflation data yesterday afternoon prompted the dollar and 10 year treasury yields to rally, casting strong doubts about a June Fed rate cut … and in a “normal” market gold would have corrected very sharply lower … what did it do ?
Well essentially it ignored it.
Interestingly there was a blip lower suggesting someone has not yet the script that says that gold is now in a new paradigm. Get with it.
With US CPI coming in hot, gold dropped $30 and then immediately bounced even as the USD and yields sailed higher … largely recovering its composure … the gold buyer is clearly keen to hit the bid on any dips.
They say you best see the character of somebody from how they behaviour under adversity … and arguably so it is for markets … well the reading here is that the gold buyer behind this rally has real conviction.

I’m just glad they’re buying and collectively taking control over the shorts and they can’t shut them down either.
Morning Buygold
It’s almost like the Twilight Zone we’re doing so well. Pinch me!
I’d love to see crimex go belly up on account of the gold and silver shorting. How many years have they knocked us down? We are due some payback!
Cheers

ZH
Someone posted over on ZH that silver is trading at 32 over on the Shanghai exchange. Don’t know how they reconcile the difference.
Morning maddog
I see the same thing you are at $2400, it appears they are going to try to defend it. Seems to me they almost have to take their shot in London and soften things up for the Crimex open, which they are doing now.
ZH had an article speculating that there was a large options player buying every dip in gold. We’ll see if he shows up again. Gold’s move has been steady and seems orderly. We’re not anywhere near the massive volatility I expect we’ll see in the weeks and months ahead. Silver OTOH, may be the catalyst.
No doubt there are money masters locked away in a dark smokey room trying to figure out a way to crush this rally, or maybe they have a traitor in their midst who is joining it. Everything breaks when the banksters no longer trust eachother….
Maddog 6:54
Yeah watch out right now and it’s Friday.
Maddog
Yep they painted themselves in a corner. Equity stocks rolling over for now but a bit insignificant to what they did to the dollar and central banks globally buying gold and why would China Russia and mid East want to buy their debt with the current misfits we have in office making enemies and inflation even if they back off on dropping interest rates it isn’t logical it’s gonna help the dollar much especially with the expectation they will in September. By then something might break out from Iran towards Israel and we have the repo market coming up etc etc etc.
I was watching someone from 321 gold wasn’t awake yet, really early in my time zone but he was funny. He said silver bugs are the craziest. Then he says he’s buying silver. I’m looking for more copper stocks and following a few like IE in US ticker that has it and a few more.
Here’s something to cheer up the silver shorts
Among traders some mkts are female, some male……and it is all to do with how they trade, ie are the rational …..the two most female mkts are Cocoa and Silver…….they regulary vie with each other on how to ‘eff over participants, on how crazy they can be and on how vengefull they can be……
So any shorts in Silver might want to check out what Cocoa is upto……as Silver won’t put up with that much longer…..
Morning buygold
It will be interesting today to see if they can somehow get themselves out of whatever mess they’ve created.
That is as close to impossible as it gets…sure they may win a few days here and there, but win overall….no way.
Being short what u ain’t got, in a runaway bull mkt ….is a first class ticket to penury….
All they can do is paint a few days where their work does not look imbecilic……I gather that debt payments in the US are only weeks away from becoming the biggest ticket in the treasury…..sure the MSM will forget about it, but would have gone ape if thebDonlad was still President…..but word will get out and it will be a sobering moment…..
Morning Ipso
It’s early here on the gulf coast. Somehow, I missed your TAS – trading at settlement post. I’ll still have to look it up to see how that works but it appears maybe “The Dude” might be on to something as silver is up $.80, over $29 as I write this. Sure seems that something is up.
How nice would it be if the “House of Graft” aka the Crimex experienced a default on their paper of some sort? Course, this action is in London so I’m not sure how all that is tied together. Nevertheless, it’s nice to see.
