By: John_Mauldin

BY PATRICK WATSON : Starbucks (SBUX) is doing something unique to improve sales. It is using mobile technology to increase repeat customers. Now, the online retail vs. brick-and-mortar conflict isn’t as clearly defined as it might seem.

Magical App Makes Coffee Headache Free

Starbucks has a very handy smartphone app that will guide you to the nearest store and hold your gift card balances. At the register, they just scan your phone and you’re done.

SPX Gapped Beneath its Trendline / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017

By: Anthony_Cherniawski

At critical times I check the daily against the hourly and 2-hour charts. To my surprise, the Diagonal trendline had drifted lower than it should have. I have corrected it because I had discovered that on the daily chart the SPX gap down had opened beneath the trendline! That suggests that the potential retracements may not go back above trendline resistance near 2390.00.

Gold Prices Spike On Heavy Volume On Trump Risks / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2017

By: GoldCore

Gold prices rose for a fifth day to a two week high in early European trading on increasing U.S. political risk pertaining to the Trump Presidency and the increasing risk of impeachment and a U.S. political civil war.

Stocks and U.S. Treasury bond yields tumbled as investors moved cash into safe-haven gold amid a global market selloff.

Stock Market Support/resistance Broken. Probable Aggressive SPX Sell Signal / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017

By: Anthony_Cherniawski

SPX gapped down to 2380.72, beneath the probable Wave [b] low. There is likely to be an attempt to fill the gap, a mighty undertaking at this level. I would rate this morning’s decline as an aggressive sell signal, subject to some blowback. A partial short entry may be advisable.

Tory Landslide, Labour Bloodbath - Will Opinion Pollsters Finally Get a UK Election Right? / ElectionOracle / UK General Election

By: Nadeem_Walayat

As Britain counts down to voting in the general election on June 8th 2017, the opinion pollsters who have badly gotten virtually every major election wrong for at least the past 5 years have been busy putting up a propaganda smoke screen across the mainstream media from the BBC's Newsnight to the broadsheets, peddling propaganda of margins of error and how they were only out by 2-4%. Whilst deliberately forgetting that the margin of error meant the difference between getting the election outcomes RIGHT or VERY BADLY WRONG! Thus making polls commissioned by the mainstream media propaganda machine at the cost of hundreds of millions of pounds WORTHLES! Literally even a coin toss would have proved far more reliable than the opinion polling industry.

Over recent times it has been reported that the stock market is once again proving to be quite volatile.

It's for this reason why sources such as the JCRA group website are in immense demand; volatility prompts a lot of question marks that the average Joe just doesn't have the experience to answer.

Gold $10,000 May Be Reasonable; Or Wishful Thinking; Or Meaningless / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2017

By: Kelsey_Williams

Is $10,000 gold reasonable?

Right now, from gold’s current price point of $1240.00 per ounce, we are speaking of an eight fold increase to get to that gloriously celebrated (at least by some) number.  Even if the specific price target is more modest – say $7000.00 per ounce – it is still a huge jump from where we are today. 

It is, however, a reasonable possibility.  Between August 1976 and January 1980, gold rose from $100.00 per ounce to over $800.00 per ounce.

Stock Market NDX Reached New All-Time High / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017

By: Harry_Boxer

The stock market indices had a mini volatile session as they opened sharply high, came down sharply, held support, rallied sharply midday, pulled back in the afternoon, and closed very sharply on the Nasdaq 100, reaching new all-time highs. Although the S&P 500 was dissimilar in that it made two consecutive lower highs verses the Nasdaq 100 making two higher highs, that was decidedly negative divergence. We’ll see whether or whether not that plays out tomorrow.

Is It A Bull Market Or Bear Market In Precious Metals? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2017

By: Avi_Gilburt

By Avi Gilburt : First published on Saturday May 13 for members of ElliottWaveTrader.net: Without fail, each and every time the metals have dropped since bottoming over a year ago, many panic and proclaim the bear market to have returned. Moreover, many have looked to the USD as their guide to what the metals will do, and are completely befuddled when the dollar trades in tandem with the metals, as we have seen for almost two months.

As for me, well, since I was taught at a young age not to “ASSUME,” I only listen to price and try to ignore emotion as much as humanly possible. For this reason, I rely on my analysis to make decisions, as relying upon emotion often puts you on the wrong side of the market at the exact worst time.

German - US Bond Market Spreads and Sentiment / Interest-Rates / Germany

By: Ashraf_Laidi

Putting aside hard and soft data, yield differentials continue to command FX markets as the German-US 10 year yield spread breaks above its 200-day MA for the 1st time since August to hit -1.90%. The story, however, is not only in the break of the average, but also in the fact that the formation of the spread consists of higher lows and higher highs since the December bottom, which is the same formation for EURUSD, gold and most "anti-USD" instruments.

Will the SPX Stock Market Final Surge Fail to Appear? / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017

By: Anthony_Cherniawski

The Wave structure on the left is a likely scenario on how the SPX may play out. This morning’s decline appears to be Wave c of (iv). Wave (v) may now be underway. As far as Wave relationships go, Wave [c] equals Wave [a] at 2405.86, while Wave (v) equals Wave (i) at 2410.24. Wave 5 equals Wave 1 at 2415.05. Cycle Top resistance on the hourly chart is at 2413.67. That gives us a range in which SPX may reverse course.

Extortionist hackers who may be using leaked computer exploits from the U.S. National Security Agency infiltrated computers in dozens of countries in a fast-spreading attack that forced British hospitals to turn away patients and breached systems at Spain’s Telefonica SA and organizations from Russia to Taiwan.

The Final Probe in SPX May be Underway / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017

By: Anthony_Cherniawski

SPX futures are higher, suggesting the final probe to the top may be underway. At the moment, 2415.05 appears to be a reasonable target. Although May 26-29 appears to be the time target for the Master Cycle low, another important Cyclical anniversary is coming up. June 6, 2017 (2017.43) happens to be exactly 17.2 years from the March 24, 2000 (2000.230) high of 1553.11. Cycles are not always exact. For example, 8.6 years from the March 24, 2000 high was October 29, 2008. The 2008 low occurred on November 21, exactly 17 market days later. We are within 15 market days of the June 6 anniversary, so the top may happen at any time. Can it stretch to June 6? Possibly, yes. However, SPX is very late in the current Master Cycle.

How Silver Price Could Rally Significantly Over The Coming Months / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2017

By: Hubert_Moolman

The silver price and the US Dollar/South African Rand exchange rate (USD/ZAR) have a very interesting relationship that goes back a long way.

In the long run, the two move in opposite directions. When the USD/ZAR rate is moving up, the silver price is moving down, and vice versa. Furthermore, when the USD/ZAR rate is making a top, then a bottom in silver is normally very close (before or after the USD/ZAR peak).

Who Are ASEAN’s Biggest Military Spenders, Really?  / Politics / Asian Economies

By: Dan_Steinbock

The conventional military narratives highlight aggregate expenditures and downplay per capita spending. Realities are more nuanced, both globally and in Southeast Asia.

The conventional narrative is that China has become assertive, while the West is ignoring its defense needs. According to SIPRI research, in the past decade military spending in China and Russia increased 118% and 87%, respectively, while US spending plunged almost 5%.

During the weekend, the Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation flooded Beijing with almost 30 heads of state and government leaders, 1,500 delegates from over 130 nations, and over 70 international organizations.
