although I think it’s going to take a lot more than a 1% open tomorrow to hold the gains.
No worries in the SM or oil. Bitcoin took it on the chin this weekend but leveling off now.

Re Klaus……..I don’t think factor 500 is gonna help, where he is headed.
Maddog – we’re going on the assumption that the Chinese are the only sovereign buyers. The US has made it very clear we are not reliable stewards of the world’s reserve currency now that we’ve weaponized it. I don’t know how any foreign countries can continue to hold our treasuries, just too risky. Seems their choice is down to Bitcoin or gold. I’m not 100% sure that the buyers aren’t wealthy elites around the world, trying to rid themselves of dollars. What’s weird is the dollar strengthening – up 1.6% last week.
Seems tonight in Asia pm’s should open higher, I would hope on a tear. Then it will be up to London to try to contain before the banksters come in again and throw more paper at us.
Aurum – seems plausible. They probably had to knowing that gold would explode on Sunday night.
This world is going nuts. Our country is in trouble and lead by demonic psychopaths. Sad.

A crazy idea came to me. The run up of Friday was by entities that knew ahead of the Iranian retaliation. The dump was simply economic warfare against them.

They sure did need a massive dump to get that rolling…..Trillion dollar question now, is do the Chinese panic and dump…or do they see a hundred dollar gift and buy with 8 arms……Considering they are buying out of desperation, as Gold/PM’s are the last place they can put money,…..real estate and their SM are both weak and with Xi as dictator for life , not likely to come back anytime soon and those are the only places, they can put money to work….then PM’s will remain the choice….as not only can they make money, but u can hide it away, where the government may not find it……
The scum can paper sell Sunday nights opening…but they cannot deliver, easily if the Chinese step up and buy and demand delivery…..and none of this has anything to do with the ME…..just 1.4 billion people vs the scum….and that doesn’t count anyone else buying….
The busiest ‘single track’ rail segment in the country,
Carrying over 1,000 trains a month,
The Tehachapi Pass connects the Central Valley with
The transcontinental mainline in the south. Many tunnels
Along the line cannot be expanded to double track, so passing sidings
Are used where ever there is room to bring trains through.

Thanks for that. The news there is better than the filtered news we’re getting here.
Pentagon confirms US military has begun intercepting inbound Iranian drones…
Including financial, I think a lot of these countries are holding back despite the parasitic communist Demorats in their feckless way trying to rig the elections while one DA blob bragging how she’s spending tax payer money on herself and toy boys no less like shes drama queen for a day trying to get Trump off the ballot, these countries will hold back until the election. If Trump isn’t elected they’ll be nothing holding them back or the borders.
Probably speaking to the choir but with trouble in the mid east with multi nations involved as well as Brics do you think they didn’t notice what the Demorats did to Russia and the swift program or confiscating personal property on non military citizens and and think oh that’s okay not think its communist worse than them or could happen to them? Not to mention what these rogues have planned for their own citizens.
Thanks to the unconstitutional communist plot of 1913 to contrive a rogue government by means of Federal reserve and Fed income tax upon the people, not only to expand government and use our money for their own interest politically and financially but ability to bribe it with lobbyists all arrogantly bypassing the citizens. Why does there have to be inflation at all. They want to 2% and why? What about the debt they don’t include because it didn’t stop with the Fed tax they started up the printing press.
The dollar now seems to only rise when the economy is perceived in distress as in deflation.
So it could make sense that both the dollar and gold could go up which actually means the economies future is seen in worse shape down the road than when they’re competing with each other.
These rogue idiots want to weaponize the dollar taking more confidence away from investing in their bonds. They don’t need bonds anymore to start wars. So hey why would a rogue government worry about .bonds when they can just sack the city, be bribed with lobbyists including foreign adversaries or pharma manufacturers and donors, get bonds from other countries and expand government, hire a bunch of IRS workers with our money and print. Why would China or anywhere else be tied down with IOUs bonds from a bunch of rogues.
The Dollar Index gained 1.6% this week, almost all of the gain following Wednesday morning’s disappointing CPI report. The dollar ended the week at a five-month high. Bloomberg: “Dollar Caps Best Run in 18 Months on Fed Rethink, Haven Bid.” The yen dropped another 1.1% to a new 34-year low.
Beijing has been forced into a hard currency peg to avoid the slightest indication of losing control. The certainty afforded by pegs is accommodative to speculative flows and levered speculation. But pegs under pressure demand tough decisions. The hope is always that some moral suasion (intervention threats) and financial resources (international reserves) buy time for a return to relative stability. It’s a gamble where the stakes compound over time.
Forces can materialize that thwart any return to stability – such as U.S. inflationary pressures, a Fed forced into “higher for longer,” spacious interest-rate differentials, and a dollar melt-up.
I can add that my broker manipulates the reported value of my IRA and my individual accounts which both hold a considerable number of shares of an OTC mining stock by using a lowball bid evaluation rather than the EOD actual price .

That was an interesting article from Kitco with the Jeffries guy Wood. He makes some good points, in particular about the shares and that they haven’t really responded to the move up in the metals and are really undervalued.
What is interesting is that he did not understand the timing of this rally. He could not see the catalyst and why now as opposed to the past several years when the G7 has been printing and spending like drunken sailors. He said that there still are outflows in GLD. He says there’s not been any money coming in from the west during this rally.
Someone big is buying though, for some reason, probably knowing that QT is or has ended, and rates will be cut. Someone big knows something. It’s hard to believe it would just be a whale coming in to challenge the Crimex and the big banks – especially after what we saw yesterday. They must have thrown billions in contracts and sold millions of shares in the ETF’s to get that started. The volume in GLD and SLV was massive.
Charts will say we go lower for a bit, but I wonder how bold the shorts will be. There was some short covering in the shares toward the close yesterday. We’ll see.

They need to be eliminated and Congress defunded and we can decide their salary too. Give them a social score by each state they represent before they get any head way in some ponzi digital money scheme next.
Jackson should of killed them instead and did us a favor. I think I saw some of their off spring in a movie called Deliverance.
Exactly!! There is NOTHING in our constitution authorizing a National Bank.
If anything – JUST the OPPOSITE – ask Andrew Jackson about it.
they tried to kill him, but he was Ole Hickory!
“The Government screwed us when they made and used the Fed to get money to spend it anyways they wanted bypassing getting it only with permission from us creating the printing press and inflation machine, expansion of government and expecting us to pay for it. It’s Tyranny and needs to be abolished as unconstitutional”

It was a massive dump or two. The first dump got $40 off the price, then it started to firm up and inch higher. Then they had to come in again to take it negative. Same with silver.
They don’t care, they will continue to do it until they can’t, so I expect this to go on all the way up. We’ll have to see how strong the buying really is now.
