investmentwatchblog--2020-08-18--A Gold Correction Was Expected After Nine Straight Weeks of Gains

The price of gold had its first down week since early June , ending a spectacular nine-week rally , the likes of which we haven ’ t seen since 2006 .
The yellow metal briefly fell below $ 1,900 an ounce last Wednesday as stocks neared their all-time closing high and the 10-year Treasury yield jumped on record supply .
Wednesday ’ s $ 38 billion auction of 10-year government bonds was the largest in U.S. history .
As I shared with you last month , gold was looking overbought at more than two standard deviations , so a short-term @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s important to keep in mind , though , that the metal ’ s long-term drivers remain intact .
We have unprecedented monetary and fiscal stimulus , with more potentially on the way .
There ’ s still trillions of dollars ’ worth of global government debt trading with a negative yield .
Despite the correction , gold continues to trade in a golden cross .
That ’ s when the average price for the past 50 trading days is above the average price for the past 200 trading days , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bullish signal .

The price of gold had its first down week since early June, ending a spectacular nine-week rally, the likes of which we haven’t seen since 2006.

As I shared with you last month, gold was looking overbought at more than two standard deviations, so a short-term correction was to be expected.
It’s important to keep in mind, though, that the metal’s long-term drivers remain intact. We have unprecedented monetary and fiscal stimulus, with more potentially on the way. There’s still trillions of dollars’ worth of global government debt trading with a negative yield.
Despite the correction, gold continues to trade in a golden cross. That’s when the average price for the past 50 trading days is above the average price for the past 200 trading days, and it’s typically seen as a bullish signal. The current golden cross has been in place for more than 18 months now.

Where’s the Inflation?
I believe the one factor that’s missing from this bull run is inflation. Since the financial crisis, we really haven’t seen a significant change in consumer prices, if we’re using the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ (BLS) gauge.
We may be on the verge of a new inflationary period, however, based on the latest report by the BLS. On a month-over-month basis, core inflation—that’s inflation on all items excluding volatile food and energy prices—rose 0.6 percent in July. That may not sound like much, but it’s the biggest such increase since 1991.

According to the bureau, the monthly change was led by a sharp rise in auto insurance prices. Other increases were seen in shelter, communication, medical care and used cars and trucks.
Historically, inflation has been constructive for the gold price. As the purchasing power of the dollar falls, savers and investors may seek other, more reliable stores of value, including the yellow metal.
Wheaton Precious Reports Record Revenue
If you remember, we accurately called the market bottom in a March YouTube video, using our own U.S. Global Sentiment Indicator, which tracks 126 commodities, emerging market equity indices and other assets. The indicator fell to an all-time low on March 18, flashing a strong buy signal. Interestingly, we shot the video on the last day we were in the office before making the decision to work from home.

Improved China PMI Lifts Oil
Crude oil hit a post-pandemic high last week, rising to nearly $43 a barrel on Wednesday as domestic crude supply fell for a third straight week. Consumption has also improved in China, where manufacturing activity continues to expand following countrywide lockdowns. The official China manufacturing purchasing manager’s index (PMI) ticked up to 51.1 in July, representing the fifth straight month the gauge has been above the 50.0-line separating expansion from contraction. The private Caixin/Markit PMI, meanwhile, came in even higher at 52.8.

As I’ve pointed out many times before, PMI is a forward-looking indicator that can help investors get a sense of where commodity prices might be headed one to six months down the road. That’s because one of the things PMI looks at is new orders. If factories are receiving a wave of new orders for, say, automobiles, you can reasonably expect that they will need to consume more energy to run their operations, not to mention use more metals and other raw materials.
All of this activity is supportive of commodity prices—oil’s especially, based on China’s PMI data above.
Our own research has found that when the JPMorgan Global Manufacturing PMI crossed above its three-month moving average, materials, energy, copper and crude oil prices were higher on average three months later.

Ethereum and HIVE Continue to Trade in Tandem
On a final note, cryptocurrencies have been on fire the past 30 days. Ethereum, the world’s second-largest digital coin after bitcoin, has skyrocketed 83.5 percent since July 14 and 304.4 percent since its 52-week low on March 16. On Friday, it was trading safely above $400 for the first time in two years.
This has sent Ethereum transaction fees to an all-time high. The average fee to send and receive the digital currency stood at around $6.45 on August 13, well above the 12-month average of $0.38.

Shares of HIVE Blockchain Technologies, the world’s first publicly traded crypto miner, traded up on Friday and were on track to notch its second straight month of positive gains, after rising 51 percent in July. As I shared with you recently, HIVE and Ethereum have historically traded in tandem. For the two-year period, the two have a moderately strong correlation coefficient of 0.56. A coefficient of 1 means two assets invariably trade in the same direction at the same time while a coefficient of -1 means that they have a negative relationship and trade in opposite directions at the same time.

Michelle Obama, famous for her line about going high when your opponents go low, went way low and closed out with the best speech of the night. The former First Lady indicted her husband’s successor for lacking fitness of character, while tapping into the racial debate that has characterized this summer: ‘And here at home, as George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and a never-ending list of innocent people of color continue to be murdered, stating the simple fact that a Black life matters is still met with derision from the nation’s highest office.’ She didn’t, for some reason, mention Tamir Rice, Michael Brown or Eric Garner, all of whom died during her husband’s administration. And when Michelle mentioned how ‘children are torn from their families and thrown into cages’, she failed to note that those cages were built and used during her husband’s terms.
PHONING IT IN: Low-energy virtual Democratic Convention fails to inspire.
Remember how Donald Trump brought Jeb Bush low by characterizing him as “low energy”? Few major American events in my lifetime have been as low energy as the Democratic National Convention’s first night. It was the opposite of stirring, motivating, thrilling, exciting. By the time the two hours were over, America was so dehydrated it needed a saline drip. The proceedings were exactly what you’d actually watch at a quadrennial party gathering if you were in attendance, on the floor as a delegate or in the cheap seats as an audience member or the press.

And very short speeches by unmemorable elected politicians.
And speaking of phoning it in: Here’s why Michelle Obama appeared to snub Kamala Harris in DNC speech. “That’s because the former first lady recorded her rousing speech before Joe Biden selected Sen. Harris of California as his running mate. The speech was delivered remotely like all others at the DNC because of the coronavirus pandemic, and The Associated Press reports it was filmed before Harris was named last week as Biden’s VP candidate, indicating the choice was so close to the vest and down to the wire that even the Obamas were not in the loop.”

Trading in a tight range again, stocks are set up for a sizable move – and if you look at the credit markets, I think a break of the Feb highs is at hand. Don’t be taken in by the lackluster daily advance decline line or advance-decline volume – $VIX doesn’t appear ready to mount an immediate challenge, and neither is the dollar.
Such were my August 11 observations:
(…) With the dollar rally running into headwinds yet again, the risk-on trades gets another ally.
Last but not least, the correction in gold I called for on Friday to happen, takes away from the momentary inflation fears. And inflation rearing its ugly head, that would have the power to throw the stock bull out of whack. We aren’t there yet.
The greenback is probing its recent lows again, gold is recovering from the preceding steep correction, and long-term Treasuries have stabilized. Such a combination is momentarily conducive to the budding stock upswing (watch Walmart data coming in) – my June 5 point about stocks remains valid also today, because stocks:
(…) don’t love many things more than money printing.
The analyses in the coming few days will be briefer that you’re used to from me, but rest assured that behind the scenes, I am looking at the very same broad set of charts that power my trading decisions. For business reasons related to your Stock Trading Alerts, I want to thank you for your patience before the number of charts presented comes roaring back later this week.
So, what markets have I picked today as the gems having most bearing upon the S&P 500 immediate future?
S&P 500 in the Short-Run
I’ll start with the daily chart perspective (charts courtesy of stockcharts.com ):
The short-term hesitation in the S&P 500 daily chart appears to be drawing to its end. The turn in the volume makes me think that increasing market participation is on the horizon, and if credit markets are any guide to go by, chances are stocks will move higher next.

The Credit Markets’ Point of View
High yield corporate bonds (HYG ETF) have turned, though the volume didn’t convince just yet. Coupled with sideways to higher price action next though, is what would lend more credibility to the credit market upswing, which is by the way mirrored to a certain degree with the stabilization in investment grade corporate bonds (LQD ETF).
Both leading credit market ratios – high yield corporate bonds to short-term Treasuries (HYG:SHY) and investment grade corporate bonds to longer-dated Treasuries (LQD:IEI) – have risen yesterday.
Should such encouraging price action continue (and looking at Treasuries, chances are it would), that would take some pressure from the still relatively extended S&P 500 prices when compared to the HYG:SHY ratio.
In other words, less headwind for the stock uptrend.
Summary
Summing up, the S&P 500 upswing still has higher odds of continuing than not, and the reasons go beyond the nascent turnaround in the credit markets including the PHB:$DJCB ratio. The Russell 2000 keeps acting strong, and emerging markets have assumed leadership among the stock indices. Copper refused to decline yesterday yet again, and Baltic Dry index is also rising. Put/call ratio has turned higher, giving firepower to the less crowded bullish side of the trade than was the case a few days ago.
As I wrote yesterday, the economic recovery story is gaining traction, and stocks are likely to be helped in their upswing once long-dated Treasuries level off, which they are doing as we speak. Given technology performance, the stock bulls aren’t looking to be holding the short end of the stick.

S&P 500 in the Short-Run
First, it’s the daily chart perspective (charts courtesy of stockcharts.com ):
The caption says it all – it’s one thing to be building a base, and lacking the strength to break higher with resounding force. Judged by this chart alone, things could go both ways. Considering the many charts on my radar screen, a move higher is still the favored direction to go next.
The Credit Markets’ Point of View
Both leading credit market ratios – high yield corporate bonds to short-term Treasuries (HYG:SHY) and investment grade corporate bonds to longer-dated Treasuries (LQD:IEI) – have again risen yesterday. So far, the turnaround has been relatively modest, yet it took a little pressure off the sizable relative extension in stocks vs. the HYG:SHY ratio.
When I look at long-term Treasuries (TLT ETF), odds are that corporate bonds have likewise stabilized in the short run. The corporate junk bonds to all corporate bonds (PHB:$DJCB) are also clinging near their Monday’s highs, yet have run into headwinds yesterday.

#LNULightningComplex – Fire is now established in English Hills w/ 200-300 homes threatened. There is no official evacuation orders/warnings posted for this area that I know of. IC recommends mandatory evacuations out to I-505. #Vacaville #HennesseyFire — CA Fire Scanner (@CAFireScanner) August 19, 2020

#VACAVILLE – Fire resources are spread extremely thin at the moment. Get out while you can, especially if you live on the outskirts. Anyone west of I-505 & north of I-80 should be evacuating based off radio traffic. #LNULightningComplex — CA Fire Scanner (@CAFireScanner) August 19, 2020
#BREAKING #Vacaville evac centers will be at Solano Community College & Vacaville Community center at Ulatis. #HennesseyFire #LNULightningComplex — Eric Wasserman 🦆 "WASS" (@EricWasserman1) August 19, 2020
i just called the #vacaville police department, it’s now a mandatory evacuation!! — sadie (@sadiee83) August 19, 2020

This fire burning north of #Vacaville reminds me of Santa Rosa in 2017. When people went to bed, the fire was miles away. The winds blew it over Mt Vaca & all of a sudden it’s right here. Middle of the night evacuations with a route out that looks like this. #LNULightningComplex pic.twitter.com/kpxVQGdL2F — Katie Nielsen (@KatieKPIX) August 19, 2020
New evacuation orders for parts of the city of #Vacaville. Police are going door to door. This fire is NOT A JOKE. Leave if you are told to leave.
There are not enough firefighters to do structure protection. This is a live-saving event ONLY! #LNULightningComplex pic.twitter.com/lUJOaCPJ27 — Katie Nielsen (@KatieKPIX) August 19, 2020

investmentwatchblog--2020-08-19--Something That Is Absolutely Critical To Remember Over The Next Several Months

A victory is not a victory if you betray your core values in the process of achieving that victory .
This is not the article that I was expecting to write today , but this is one of those times when I have been taken in a direction that I did not anticipate .
Today , everyone can see that America is very deeply divided .
Anger , frustration and hatred are rising all around us , and we are rapidly approaching the election in November .
As November approaches , I believe that things are going to get very @ @ @ @ @ @ @ heated , it can be very tempting to hate the people on the other side .
But we must not give in to that temptation , because Americans are not supposed to be hate-filled people .
In the end , our lives will be defined by how much we love , and that includes how much we love those that are our enemies .
I know that such talk is very rare in America today , and that is why articles like this are so desperately needed .
Even if your party wins @ @ @ @ @ @ @ choose to hate the people on the other side you still lose .
Every single member of your party could win every single vote in November , but if your heart is filled with hate that would not be a win for you personally .
I see so much hatred on the Internet these days .
Of course the Internet has always been filled with hate , but election season seems to bring it to a crescendo .
Many of the things that are being said about others are too horrible for me @ @ @ @ @ @ @ what I am talking about .
One of the main reasons why a lot of good people don ’ t want to get into politics is because of all the nastiness that takes place , and we are truly setting a horrible example for the rest of the globe .
We desperately need to be able to learn how to disagree with others without hating them .
There is a world of difference between having a fundamental difference of opinion on an issue and hating someone else because of what they believe .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ have to see things exactly the way that others do , and I would never suggest that you should compromise the most important things that you believe for the sake of harmony .
In fact , we live at a time when we have a crying need for people to stand up for the values and principles that this nation was founded upon .
Personally , I have disagreed with just about every major decision made in Washington D.C. for the past 30 years .
Once in a while something is done that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in those rare instances I will praise those that were involved in that decision .
But in general , we have seen a horrifying lack of judgment in Washington for decades .
But just because I disagree very strongly with what has been going on does not mean that I have to hate anyone .
I know that it is hard to watch our politicians destroy everything that previous generations of Americans worked so hard to build .
If you truly love America , there are going to be moments when how far @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
And in the midst of that pain , it can feel really good to hate those that are ruining everything around us .
But that is not who we are supposed to be .
In the Sermon on the Mount , Jesus instructed us to love our enemies and to pray for those that persecute us… That really goes against our natural instincts , doesn ’ t it ?
Don ’ t get me wrong – I am certainly not saying that politicians should not be held accountable .
If they have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pay the price , and most of our current leaders in Washington don ’ t have any business being in positions of leadership .
So if you think that a certain politician does not deserve your vote , then definitely don ’ t vote for that individual .
But at the same time , don ’ t hate that person .
If you are a Democrat , can you honestly say that you love Donald Trump and Mike Pence ?
If you are a Republican , can you honestly say that you love @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are called to love even those that stand against every single thing that we believe and hold dear .
Once the election results are final , there are going to be millions upon millions of very bitterly disappointed people out there .
Both sides fully expect to win , and those that end up losing are likely to throw a massive temper tantrum .
It is going to be a very challenging time for America , and nothing that I could say right here will change that .
During this election season there @ @ @ @ @ @ @ great problems that our nation is facing , and it seems like just about everyone has an opinion about how to fix those problems , but ultimately the real solution to our problems is love .
In fact , if we don ’ t learn how to love God and how to love one another , America is simply not going to make it .
If you want to know what the end result will be if we continue to be filled with hate , just read my new book .
Unfortunately , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ many other national “ leaders ” will continue to stir up more strife , discord , anger and hatred on a daily basis .
And I am sure that there will be a lot of unfortunate words directed at me for writing this article .
But all I am suggesting is that we should treat others the way that we want to be treated .
Loving others is not always easy , but if we want to have any hope of ever turning this country around we have no other choice .

investmentwatchblog--2020-08-19--The Global Elite Have Far More Control Over Us Than Most People Would Dare To Imagine

No matter where you fall on the political spectrum , you probably agree that the global elite have too much power and influence .
It has been said that “ money is power ” , and today that seems to be more true than ever .
Those at the very , very top of the pyramid dictate the rules of the game for the rest of us , and there isn ’ t too much that the rest of us can do about it .
When we talk about how the global elite dominate our lives , the focus tends @ @ @ @ @ @ @ governments , but the truth is that is one of the areas where the global elite have the least control .
I know that may sound strange , but I believe that things will become clearer by the end of this article .
I would submit that corporations are the primary vehicle that the elite use to control our lives .
In fact , many global corporations are now larger and more powerful than most national governments , and collectively the network of global corporations that dominates the planet is far larger and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ government .
A number of years ago , a remarkable study was conducted that closely examined the interconnecting relationships of major corporations all over the world .
That study discovered that a network of 1,318 enormous companies dominated the global economy , and it also found that 147 colossal corporations at the core of that web formed a “ super-entity ” that controlled 40 percent of the entire network… Each of the 1318 had ties to two or more other companies , and on average they were connected to 20 .
What ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ per cent of global operating revenues , the 1318 appeared to collectively own through their shares the majority of the world ’ s large blue chip and manufacturing firms – the “ real ” economy – representing a further 60 per cent of global revenues .
When the team further untangled the web of ownership , it found much of it tracked back to a “ super-entity ” of 147 even more tightly knit companies – all of their ownership was held by other members of the super-entity – that controlled 40 per @ @ @ @ @ @ @ network .
“ In effect , less than 1 per cent of the companies were able to control 40 per cent of the entire network , ” says Glattfelder .
Most were financial institutions .
The top 20 included Barclays Bank , JPMorgan Chase & Co , and The Goldman Sachs Group .
Of course at the very top are the ultra-wealthy individuals that own and control the gigantic corporations that make up the “ super-entity ” .

Many have promoted the idea of refusing to economically engage this monster , but that has become nearly impossible .

Because they have such a huge share of the market , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , what gets sold and what gets bought .
