From what I can see they were 142K vs. estimates of 160K
Dollar was hit hard initially, pm’s jumped. Now things are calming down a bit in pm’s, no doubt the scum is at work, especially on silver. They seem to need silver below $29 on the week, so we have some back and forth as the dollar starts to come back. Rates plunged, but now back to down 2 bips. Bitcoin up 1%
I’m not sure what’s more important to the scum, keeping pm’s contained or bringing the SM back. Looks like they’re trying to do both at the moment. Thing is, pm’s don’t seem to mind if the SM goes up or down now and are doing better as the SM futures recover.
Scum very active and dollar recovering.
Gotta think that at some point the dam is going to break in these pm’s though.
