FTSE and Sterling Brexit Trading, Deconstruction of the EU Referendum Result / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2016
By: Nadeem_Walayat
On Thursday 23rd of June 2016 the people of Britain confounded all expectations by voting to LEAVE the European Union, triggering political pundits in the mainstream media to write reams and reams of gibberish for why Britain voted for Brexit, when the reason why is very simple and self evident in the results themselves! Namely that the people of Britain from right across England and Wales rebelled against the London Westminister elite, and so London along and a few other southern regions were the only ones to vote for REMAIN.

Dow, Euro & Brexit Recap / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2016
By: Austin_Galt
What a day! Some extremely volatile action took place that will live on in the memories of all those that witnessed it.
So, what to make of it all?
Well, this analysis will focus on the Dow and Euro and quite frankly there is nothing out of the ordinary to report which may sound strange. Today did nothing to alter what has been outlined in previous analysis. In fact, it played right into my forecasts which are for the Dow to head down to set up a higher low and the Euro to also head further down a bit more and set up its own higher low.

A Tale Of Two Asset Classes: Gold Miners Soar, Banks Crash / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2016
By: John_Rubino
The following tables illustrate the dilemma of mainstream money management. The vast majority of legitimate financial advisors and portfolio managers are big fans of bank stocks because finance is a crucial, if not dominant, form of economic activity in the modern world. So the big names in the field — Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, JP Morgan, etc. — are generally seen as safe places to put client capital.

The SPX Premarket is struggling to stay near yesterday’s closing price for the close of index options at the open this morning. Today is Quadruple Witching day, which has the probability of being very volatile.

Stock Market, Iron Ore, Bitcoin – Is Silver Next for Chinese Momentum Investors? / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2016
By: John_Lee
The roulette game all started in the fall of 2014, about 2 years after Chairman Xi Jinping came to power and became the General Secretary of the Communist Party of China.
Xi Jinping had campaigned for socialist economic reform, including a sweeping anti-corruption drive, cutting excess production capacity, tightening of housing credit, and clamping down on gaming in Macau. Public feedback was initially positive. However, largely as a result of those policies, Beijing was facing an increasingly grim economic growth outlook which was the worst in more than two decades*.

Alignment Of The Dow, Interest Rates, Debt and Silver Cycles Will Deliver A Fatal Blow / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2016
By: Hubert_Moolman
Since the inception of the debt-based monetary system (with its fractional-reserve banking), the banks have been playing a nasty game of Russian roulette. The only reason that the system has not blown-up is because the relevant cycles have not adequately lined up to deliver a fatal blow.
They have been allowed to play it long enough, and it now appears that the fatal blow will be delivered soon (just like Russian roulette when you play it long enough). The coming Dow crash is the likely trigger that will deliver this blow.

By: Jeff_Berwick
Recently Barack Obama urged citizens to be prepared. He broke this new ground in a May 31st speech to the FEMA National Response Coordination Center in Washington.
He explained that it was up to each citizen to be prepared for disasters. This preparation should extend to “having an evacuation plan” and “having a fully stocked disaster supply kit.”

Two Charts That Prove Central Banks Are Losing Control / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2016
By: Graham_Summers
The markets opened weak yesterday when the ECB announced no new policies.
The ECB is out of options. Mario Draghi has cut rates into NIRP four times and spent nearly €1 trillion in QE. Looking at the EU’s inflation rate, you wouldn’t think the ECB had done anything.

Bonds, Stocks, Gold and Silver ‘Inflation Trade’ Alive and Well / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2016
By: Gary_Tanashian
I don’t write the title because the precious metals took off today on the bad jobs report. Far from it. That is what gold is supposed to do under such circumstances as its fundamentals got a boost and the perceptions of a hawkish Fed got repelled.
I write the title despite the fact that the inflation barometer, TIP/TLT, tanked and commodities were moderate, post-jobs. Yesterday we noted: Inflation Expectations Sagging, including a declining TIP/TLT and a bullish looking TLT (each a form of non-inflationary signaling). Today they got bearisher and bullisher, respectively.

The Gryphon Review - Global Market Analysis / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2016
By: David_Chapman
The Great Housing Recovery ^Not!
New home sales just leaped to an eight-year high. Many were pleased with the gain, and as a result felt that the Fed could stay on course to hike interest rates at their June meeting. But the gain masks what is actually a bigger problem. New home sales are barely half their peak of 2006; housing starts are also barely half of their peak; existing home sales are doing better but are still 25% off of their peak; and, while housing price gains have been good, they also languish off 10% from their peak. Mortgage debt is actually down roughly $1 trillion from its peak, but the banks needing business are once again offering low down-payment mortgages to first time buyers. Mortgages are down because many don’t qualify, and many millennials who would like to get into the housing market are being held back with low-paying jobs and living in their parents’ basement. A series of charts demonstrate that the great housing leap is not that great after all.

Prominent Billionaire Investors Warn of Financial Crash, Quietly Position Themselves / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2016
By: MoneyMetals
Welcome to this week’s Market Wrap Podcast, I’m Mike Gleason.
Coming up Michael Rivero of WhatReallyHappened.com updates us on some of the key developments in the ongoing attempt by the central planners to bring about a one world government, when and why we’re likely to see a massive inflationary uptick in the not too distant future, and how gold and silver may end up being the key beneficiaries as the masses discover them as the safe haven assets to own. Don’t miss our explosive interview with a man who pulls no punches, Michael Rivero, coming up after this week’s market update.
After suffering through a sharp pullback in May, gold and silver markets could be eyeing a bottom in the trading so far in June. Gold touched the $1,200 level on Tuesday and managed a small bounce off that key level. As of this Friday morning recording, gold is surging and is up close to $30 so far on the day with the spot price coming in at $1,241 an ounce now, up 2.2% for the week.

US Dollar Plummets - Good Show! / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2016
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
USD/DXY plummeted to a low of 93.99 this morning. This falls into line with my thesis that lower stock values also means a lower dollar price. USD is now beneath its 50-day Moving Average a 94.62 and is on a sell signal. We may see a bounce at the Cycle Bottom support at 92.92, with one final plunge to its target.

The Bail-In: Or How You Could Lose Your Money in the Bank / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2016
By: Submissions
David Chapman writes: Buried in the Liberal Federal Budget that was introduced on March 22, 2016, under Chapter 8 - Tax Fairness and a Strong Financial Sector, was a section titled "Introducing a Bank Recapitalization 'Bail-in' Regime." Simply stated, in the unlikely event of a large bank failure, the Government proposed it would reinforce that bank shareholders and creditors are responsible for the bank's risks - not taxpayers.

Counter Trend Rally in Gold Due; Stock Market Topping? / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2016
By: Brad_Gudgeon
The GLD chart below shows gold in a declining wedge. Cyclically, an 8 TD low is due in gold and a 4 TD low due in GDX on June 1st. A strong rally is indicated into June 2nd for both gold and GDX.
The stock market (as measured by the S&P 500) has either made its secondary top on May 31st or will likely do so on June 1, in my opinion. Another large drop is due in the weeks ahead.
