The Stock Market Lugnuts are Loose! / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
SPX has crossed the neckline and round number support at 2800.00. While Kolanovic and the Risk Parity algos ignored the initial decline, they will have a harder time of it today. The real question is, how far will it go today? Panic may set in if not already, as the Head & Shoulders target appears to be an easy mark.
ZeroHedge reports, “Last Friday, when the S&P hit an all time high and inexplicably melted up in the last hour of trading in a burst of frenzied buying, we warned that according to Bank of America, "Biggest Sell Signal In 5 Years Was Just Triggered." Incidentally, on that very day, the S&P 500 bull market became the second largest of all time last Friday, as the global equity market cap of $86.6TN rose $57.9TN from 2009 lows and $29.9TN from 2016 lows, according to BofA.

Gold Price February Correction to Below $1300 - Video / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2018
By: Nadeem_Walayat
The gold price had a good start for 2018, rising from 1310 at the start of January to a high of $1367 with the most recent trading price of $1351. Which is set against my forecast for 2018 for the gold price to first target resistance $1375, an eventual break of which would propel the Gold price towards a 2018 target of $1500, and then further for the Gold price to ultimately target a trend towards $1800.

Can The Shale Oil Boom Avoid These Bottlenecks? / Commodities / Shale Oil and Gas
By: OilPrice_Com
Shale companies continue to drill at a frenzied pace, adding rigs and breaking U.S. oil production levels with each passing week. Yet, the oil production is becoming increasingly geographically concentrated. Not only is the Permian basin accounting for much of the new oil production in the U.S., but a relatively small number of counties within the Permian are home to most of that action.

Gold Stocks GDX Consolidation May Continue / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2018
By: Avi_Gilburt
While I would love to suggest that the market is ready to break out in a big way, I still have no clear indications that is the case just yet. And, this comes more so from the GDX than either of the metals themselves. So, I am going to focus on the GDX in this update.
The action over the last two days has been a lot more convoluted than one would think by simply looking at the chart. In fact, since we hit the lows yesterday, the action actually presents 4 different ways to potentially be counted from an Elliott Wave structure, with us even completing all of the (b) wave with one more minor high in the GDX tomorrow.

This is Crazy! Stock Market Investors Have Simply Gone Nuts! / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
SPX took out yesterday’s low at 2813.04. This may be the beginning of the slide suggested by the Head & Shoulders formation. Confirmation comes at the neckline at 2805.00. There is still a chance of a pop to the upper reaches of the right shoulder, but that probability seems to be fading fast.
Many are ignoring this decline as being “too insignificant.” Vic Kolanovic at JPM is one of them. It appears that a larger decline will be needed to wake these fellas up.

Gold And Gold Miners Preparing for Big Move / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2018
By: Chris_Vermeulen
Just a few days ago we alerted our members and followers to a massive setup in the Palladium market that had not been seen in years. This chart formation provides an incredible opportunity for a trader to take advantage of and profit from the expected price decline. We alerted our members and followers on January 24th of this move.
As of today, Palladium has rotated downward by over 9% from the recent highs and should continue to move lower as this multi-month rotation extends. Even though this initial move lower (-9%) reaches our initial predicted target levels, we still believe support won’t be found till prices reach near the $1000 price level. If that support fails to hold, the price of Palladium could fall to the $900. This total move could be over -20% by the time this downward swing ends.

Trading Software is an Easily Helps the Investors / InvestorEducation / Trading Systems
By: Kavinesh_A
Share trading is done by an investor by visiting to broker’s place. If anyone interested in trading, he goes to near share broker office and trading there. In many cases, the broker office would not be in close. The trader should have to spend money for his fuel and parking charge for his car. All these things could be avoided, from a computer, laptop, tablet the share trade can be made. This is an easy job for him. All he has to down load the software Trader avec l'Indicateur ADX MT4 and start trading with the help of the software. There would not be any difficult in paying for the purchase. The purchases and sales would be very easy with the software. Many people are doing the share trading only from their home. In case, the software is installed in a computer that person could attend to his home works and do the trading by watching the screen. Even one person could read the book and simultaneously do the trading. Much work at home job workers are doing the trading while working for their companies by minimizing the screen of the share market.

2018 Gold Price Forecast and Predictions / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2018
By: GoldSilver
Most price forecasts aren’t worth more than an umbrella in a hurricane. There are so many factors, so many ever-changing variables and dynamics, that even the most educated guess almost always ends up wrong.
Further, some forecasts base their predictions on one issue. “Interest rates will rise so gold will fall.” That’s not even an accurate statement, let alone a sensible prediction (it’s the real rate that affects gold prices—the rate minus inflation).

By: Arkadiusz_Sieron
The World Gold Council published its gold market outlook for 2018. Will gold continue its January rally or should we expect declines?

The organization points out that gold performed relatively well, given the fact that the global economy picked up, risk assets rose in value, while the Fed hiked interest rates three times. Against this backdrop, the price of gold in U.S. dollars rose 13.5 percent, the biggest annual gain since 2010, actually outperforming many other asset classes.

US Treasury Yields Inflating? / Interest-Rates / US Bonds
By: Submissions
FundamentalsThe Herd is running into one direction. It is from bonds into stocks. The latest BAML Fund Manager report showed an intresting picture. Extreme flows have been recorded over the past couple of months relative to the past 12 years. That came on top of the fact that flows were at elevated levels throughout the past 14 months already.
The investment reasoning behind that gets confirmed by economic fundamentals. The US economy is expanding, retail sales have risen to all-time highs, unemployment is at a multidecade low, and new home sales look as good as they have never looked for the past 10 years.

Stocks Bull Market or Hyperinflationary Market? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018
By: Raymond_Matison
More than a decade ago several insightful people recognized that the bond market as it related to the then AAA rated mortgage backed bonds was a well-crafted illusion. The eventual default in these bonds fostered a market meltdown which was within hours of totally freezing up markets, creating a global financial crisis. The stock market reflected this crisis by the Dow Industrial Index declining from 16,437 in October of 2007 to 8,207 in February of 2009, a 50% decline in less than a one and half year period.
