By: Money_Morning
Shah Gilani writes: Let's talk about Syria and how what's happening there is affecting the markets.
I see oil rising to two-year highs. I see gold rising to three-month highs. Let's see, what else is being affected? Oh, that would be nothing.

Mega Financial Market Movers and Impending Moves / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2013
By: DeepCaster_LLC
The next very few months present an extraordinary number of Mega-Market Movers and Moves Impending.
Here we identify Key ones and indicate how Investors may best Profit and Protect.
The Most Obvious is Syria. President Obama has said that any Strike would be Surgical and Limited in Scope. But little consideration has apparently been given to probable Retaliation by the variety of U.S. Opponents including most likely by the Proxies of Major opponents – Proxies provide “Plausible Deniability”. Consider that Russia, for example, is not only an Ally of the Assad Regime, but also has its sole Major Mediterranean Naval Base in Syria. And, as we predicted in our Alert earlier this week, President Putin has now said Russia would assist Syria if the U.S. attacks Syria. And, while not likely to retaliate, China and the U.K. and others have declared a policy of Non Support of the U.S.

Markets Focused on the Wrong Target / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2013
By: John_Browne
In recent months economic commentators and financial markets have focused almost excessively on the Federal Reserve's quantitative easing ("QE") policy as the market's main driver. However, last month two senior economists at the Federal Reserve published a report entitled 'How Stimulating Are Large-Scale Asset Purchases' which calls this devotion into question.

Why Investors Are Fleeing Both the Bond and Stock Markets / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2013
By: Profit_Confidential
Michael Lombardi writes:
Late last year, the concept of the “Great Rotation” became popular. The idea behind the Great Rotation was simple: the theory was that once the bond prices started to decline, investors would take their money out of bonds and put them into the equity markets.
The logic behind the Great Rotation made sense. When one asset class becomes too risky, the bond market in this case, investors usually run towards other assets. But the Great Rotation isn’t happening?

Investor Opportunity Knocks via Financial Market Realities / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2013
By: DeepCaster_LLC
“ Gold/US$ has had a material seller stopping its advances each day, and yesterday that seller was strongly evident at the $1430-1435 level.
“We suspect that after a day or two of correction following that selling, the bulls will again gather their forces and trump the seller at $1430-1435. It may have to wait until next week, however, when the gold dealing desks are back at fuller staff.”

Was Second Quarter The Peak For U.S. Economic Recovery? / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2013
By: Sy_Harding
With economies in China and Japan, the world’s second and third largest economies slowing, and economies in emerging markets and the 17-nation eurozone struggling mightily, hopes have been that the U.S. economic recovery will pick up its anemic pace and provide more global support.
Markets around the world received some really good news in that regard this week. The U.S. Commerce Department revised second quarter GDP growth significantly higher, to an annualized rate of 2.5% from its original report a month ago of only 1.7%.

By: Money_Morning
William Patalon writes: Oil prices have been surging on fears that the Obama administration is planning to punish Syria for using chemical weapons against its own people.
But the real question is whether this escalation in "black gold" prices is going to continue.

Why Syria Conflict Is Hitting Markets Hard / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2013
By: Profit_Confidential
George Leong writes:
Syria is on the verge of expanding its current conflict to include the United States and its allies as the chaos in the Middle East continues. Then there are also the tensions in Egypt and Iran.
If the U.S. and its allies attack Syria, the impact on the global economy and the stock market will be negative and how bad it gets will largely be dependent on the degree and length of the war.

Importance of Watching 10 Year U.S. Treasuries, Impacts on £1.5 Quadrillion of Derivatives / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2013
By: Money_Morning
Keith Fitz-Gerald writes: The esoteric - yet highly accurate - Hindenburg Omen we looked at Friday may suggest the probability of a market crash. But the number I'm watching this week could cause one.
As a standalone figure, of course, the yield on 10-year Treasuries is small. But the amount of money it impacts worldwide is flat-out staggering.

Economic and Financial Markets Climacterics Coming – Prepare! / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2013
By: DeepCaster_LLC
“The whole concept of creating money without toil or risk is an integral province of the Federal Reserve. I believe that one way or another, the Federal Reserve and all it stands for will be eliminated. The process by which this will occur worries me. I believe it will take a huge disruption of our current economic system in order to eliminate the Federal Reserve and its immoral process of money being created out of a computer and thin air.
“The process of creating money from “nothing” makes a mockery of real work of all kinds. Thus, by inference, I am calling the Federal Reserve an evil institution. The more so, since it denigrates gold, which is, and has always been, true wealth, wrung out of the earth through man’s sweat and toil and risk.”

U.S. Treasury Bonds Break Down, Stocks and Commodities Not Far Behind / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2013
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
The big news of the morning is the breakdown of the Treasury Bond market. TLT broke the prior low at 105 and triggered a potential Head & Shoulders neckline with a target at 82.88. There are two noteworthy items about the formation on the chart. The first is that Minute Wave [c] is shorter than its counterpart Minute Wave [a]. Second, this comes after a very short 17-day rally off the bottom of its last Master Cycle in Minute Wave [a]. This clearly indicates that the downside forces are much greater that the positive ones. Treasuries are in a hurry to make further lows.

Japan's Econcomy Stalling, Quadrillion Yen Stimulus Not Enough / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2013
By: PhilStockWorld
Japan's economy is already stalling.
Japan’s economy slowed more than forecast in the second quarter as businesses cut investment, undermining gains in consumer and government spending that helped reduce deflationary pressures. Q2 GDP rose an annualized 2.6%, down from Q1, when it rose 3.8%, the Cabinet Office reported today in Tokyo. The median of 32 estimates by leading Economorons was for a 3.6% gain. While consumers continue to propel Japan’s rebound, companies have yet to commit to the Abenomics project, paring capital spending for a sixth straight quarter.

Detroit and Social Credit, Stocks Contnuing Technical Strength / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2013
By: Christopher_Quigley
In 2009 I wrote an essay on Social Credit which for some reason has become one of the most popular articles I have ever penned. This, I reckon, is not because it is a particularly “exceptional” essay but due, in part, to timing. Interest in this “economic concept” has recently gone “viral”.

How to Protect Your Assets While the Majority of Americans Aren’t / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2013
By: DailyGainsLetter
John Whitefoot wites:You can’t always believe the markets. Since 2009, the S&P 500 and Dow Jones have been on a tear and are, thanks to the Federal Reserve, making new record highs. Since the markets are considered an indicator of the health of the U.S. economy, one could be forgiven for thinking the economic recovery has been benefiting most Americans. It isn’t.

Market Moves Ahead Should be Good for Gold, Bad for the US Dollar / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2013
By: Casey_Research
By John Williams, Shadowstats
Nothing is normal: not the economy, not the financial system, not the financial markets and not the political system. The financial system still remains in the throes and aftershocks of the 2008 panic. A number of underlying problems of that time, tied to the risks of a near-systemic collapse and the related, extreme economic downturn, were pushed into the future—not resolved—by the extraordinary liquidity and systemic-intervention actions taken by the Federal Reserve and federal government. Further panic is possible, and severe US dollar debasement and inflation remain inevitable.

Rising Interest Rates, Gold and the Stock Market / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2013
By: Clif_Droke
Many analysts predict that banks will be hurt by higher interest rates. Yet the best leading indicator of banks' future profits - financial sector stocks - aren't showing the slightest concern by this prospect.
Indeed, judging by the performance of the Bank Index (BKX) and the Broker Dealer Index (XBD), financial institutions seem to be quite at home with the idea of higher interest rates. This, we are told by some experts, is because higher rates allow banks to loan more money. Insurers also generate more returns on their investment portfolios with rising rates without having to rely on premiums.

The Inflation Trades Are Your Friend / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2013
By: David_Banister
Ignore the pundits and pay attention to the action and what you see around you. Last time I walked down the cereal aisle I thought maybe I needed glasses, but no… the boxes keep shrinking. That’s inflation as seen in food being priced in via smaller servings at the same or higher prices. Gold has likely put in a massive cyclical bottom in the 1180′s with 1156 the likely support now for any further pullback and analysts continue to downgrade the better Gold miners right near the cycle bottom.
