RE: Looks like another short term attack on gold.26 Oct 2021 21:49
Evening.
"They're increasing in frequency and decreasing in duration and effectiveness"
Yup.
Gold used to get smashed a $100 at a time - they managed a temporary intraday spike down to $1,781 - I called it earlier to hold $1,794 - the price as I type is ... $1,795 and rising ...
That's where the paper meets the metal, as I like to say, and it's getting higher each time.
Gold actually broke out of enormous triangulation suggesting a return to the prior $2k highs on Monday - hardly surprising given Jay Powell ruled out an interest rate rise the other day and bond yields are looking floppy to the downside - just how much negative real yield is big money willing to take on at this point?
My view - none - The Fed are deploying YCC to suppress bond yields, i.e. the US effectively buying their own debt as confidence in the Dollar and the forward-read on GDP starts to fall to pieces - as it is - to ensure that the ballooning debt (still WAY more debt to come over the coming 3-5 years ...) interest payments stay somewhat manageable.
"Manageable" being subjective of course - if the US was a private citizen they would already have been declared bankrupt.
Agree about Silver re Green Energy BTW - still think it could do worse than gold in the short-term because of that very reason however - be it temporary again.
I still suspect that Gold could get taken down to $1,760 in the coming period but then we're really going to find out what time it is but it's just as likely to see $1,900 or so too before it really blows up in the coming months/quarters.
Entertaining to watch the fake sells here at 17.6p as Gold dropped this afternoon - looking for dumb PI money to sell out at less than the 18.2p cash value as always - no cigar though and met with a full-ask buy at 18.50p followed by a whopping (the second biggest I've seen here - remember the 1m buy at 16.3p a few weeks ago?) and hidden/delayed 500k buy at 17.9p.
I suspect the cupboard is bare now of available shares in decent size but am of course still biding my time should they manage to temporarily drop the SP by half a penny or so over the coming weeks courtesy of my FRES profits.
Onwards and sidewards.
