Stock-Markets

Interest rates are still key, as they affect the bond market, the mortgage market, and the housing market; which in turn affects many peripheral markets such as lumber, copper, furniture, and appliances to name but a few.

Interest rates had been on the rise but began to drop back this week. That is good news for all those that own mortgages - although we did see that mortgages still went up, not down. Hopefully the lesser rates will filter down to the mortgage markets - if the bankers want to play nice, which is a very cold altar to place one's faith in.


The US dollar looks like it could play the lead part in Night of the Living Dead. The counter trend rally is just about over - if it isn't already. Look for the Euro to strengthen.

The Yen is the Yen - the cheapest currency in the world. It is the Yen that is adding to much of the excessive liquidity in the world, as it facilitates the Yen Carry Trade, where money (yen) is borrowed short (at almost zero percent interest rates) to loan or extend long at much higher rates.

The interest rate in Japan is 0.25%, while in the US it is 5.25%. That's a difference or spread of 5%. It's like they're giving the stuff away for free. It is indeed a Brave New World, and a strange one at that. All compliments of the New World Order. Thanks guys - just remember: what goes around, comes around.

Commodities when viewed by the CCI Index using equally weighted goods, show a picture that is far from as dire as the CRB indicates. Might there be one market for us and another for those in the know? Nah - hell this is America: the home of the free and the brave.

Oil has rallied back but it appears to just be a counter trend rally in a continually declining market. This is true for the short term. For the long term we are quite bullish on both oil and natural gas.

Gold and silver are doing just fine. They are correcting and backing and filling as they should. We expect them to continue long into the future.

One caveat that we did not like hearing was the talk of the IMF selling gold. We do not expect it to have a huge impact on prices - but we just don't like it, as it doesn't make sense or cents. We do not have time here to explain.

We are looking for the gold stocks to be on their last minor wave correction/consolidation before Columbia gets ready for take off. If you get the chance - look up the etymology of the word Columbia, it's fascinating stuff. Very occult. Hmm.

We would expect any further pullback to find support around the 135 area on the XAU. $606 - $612 are to be watched on the gold chart to provide support. The HUI 320-310 area provides support. If more then the end wave of a pullback occurs, the charts show what to expect. It's a bull market until it isn't. As of now it is.
