BIg in solar too - the thing with Silver (and Gold) though is that it won't bounce until JPM have finished buying the physical whilst suppressing with paper on COMEX - some think they now own greater than 50% of all the physical silver on COMEX.
That said, I suspect they're not far off - Basel 3 etc ...
Trump and Powell must surely be aligned now though re rates - Trump wants them down to weaken the Dollar/boost exports, Powell wants inflation - well you ain't going to get either of those with a strong Dollar, even with the (clearly) manipulated oil price helping to disguise what is likely underlying deflationary pressures imo.
I have no model in my head that allows for a strong Dollar with a strong US economy going forward but these are clearly very strange times as shown with the lack of Dollar/Gold inversion last night and continuing today ...
