Could a Red Wave Cool Off the Retail Bullion Market? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2022

By: MoneyMetals

Americans will vote in the midterm elections next Tuesday. The latest polling suggests that a “red wave” is building, and Republicans may win the majority both in the House and the Senate. The election results will have implications for all markets – and that includes precious metals.

Mass psychology is one factor. Confidence in U.S. institutions has been in decline for several decades. However, when we see a marginal restoration of confidence, it can impact physical market demand for bullion.

Accordingly, should Republicans win big next week, red-hot bullion demand could cool off for a period of time.

Sentiment Speaks: Amazon Killed The Stock Market On Friday / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2022

By: Avi_Gilburt

It really is entertaining watching people. Whether I am sitting outside in a public area and "people-watching" with my wife, whether I watch how people react to the market in the articles on Seeking Alpha (and that includes the writers and commenters), or whether I watch how people react even within the virtual walls of my own services, people are very interesting and their emotional responses are even more so.

We had a very interesting week this past week. And, it again outlined for me that people simply cannot overcome their emotions, especially when it comes to the stock market. So many of you are following the CPI, unemployment, GDP, etc. Yet, none of that has helped you on this rally. If anything, it has made you miss this 12% rally over the last two weeks. And, when the Amazon earnings came out, many of you were sure the market would surely drop.

Yet, as the market was developing a near term topping structure on Wednesday and Thursday, my primary analysis to the members of ElliottWaveTrader was suggesting the strong potential for a pullback before we continued higher to the 3900+ region, which was my next target for the SPX.

Gold Stocks’ Winter Rally 2022 / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2022

By: Zeal_LLC

The gold miners’ stocks have been battered over this past half-year, bludgeoned relentlessly lower with gold.  Heavy gold-futures selling fueled by the US dollar shooting parabolic in a mania has slammed the yellow metal.  Gold’s normal seasonal trends have been overpowered by speculators’ leveraged gold-futures dumping.  But with their selling capital firepower exhausted, gold’s usual winter rally should roar back.

Seasonality is the tendency for prices to exhibit recurring patterns at certain times during the calendar year.  While seasonality doesn’t drive price action, it quantifies annually-repeating behaviors driven by sentiment, technicals, and fundamentals.  We humans are creatures of habit and herd, which naturally colors our trading decisions.  The calendar year’s passage affects the timing and intensity of buying and selling.

Gold stocks display strong seasonality because their price action amplifies that of their dominant primary driver, gold.  Gold’s seasonality generally isn’t driven by supply fluctuations like grown commodities see, as its mined supply remains relatively steady year-round.  Instead gold’s major seasonality is demand-driven, with global investment demand varying considerably depending on the time in the calendar year.

It's bonfire night soon so off we went to our local Tesco's super market to get some FIREWORKS! Tesco usually have some sort of offer on i.e. to get 2 boxes at a lower cost than single boxes.

FED Balance Sheet QE4Ever / Interest-Rates / Quantitative Easing

By: Nadeem_Walayat

Not to forget the inflation mega-trend courtesy of rampant central bank money printing to monetize government debt coupled with the fake inflation indices where up until recently the Fed had succeeded in hoodwinking the masses that US inflation was just 1%. Instead at that time I warned it was more like 6%! Now it's more like 14%. Anyway the money printing binge now totals $8.8 trillion, up from $4 trillion at the start of 2020 and down from a a peak of $9.62 trillion in the so called Taper. We saw how the taper of 2019 went which at the time I warned would eventually resolve in the Fed Balance sheet DOUBLING. of course I was not expecting it to happen the very NEXT YEAR in 2020!

Just pause for a moment and take in the chart in the video, the message one should be receiving loud and clear is that I expect this bull market to run for many more years, whilst my best guess 2 years ago was that it would top in early 2027, as long as run away valuations moderated during 2022 then I don't see why this should still not remain the big picture, thus the bull market could extend to 18 years from it's March 2009 low!

4 Commonly Made Mistakes to Avoid When Investing in Crypto / Currencies / cryptocurrency

With social media sharing showcasing people making millions off of cryptocurrency - it is natural that others are experiencing FOMO and want to get in on the fun. There is potential for large gains with the cryptocurrency market, however nothing is guaranteed. After reaching a market cap of over $3 trillion in November 2021, the current market cap of the cryptocurrency industry is around $1 trillion in value.

But with such a huge market, the number of people trying to earn off of scams is infinite. There are more than plenty of rookie investors that fall into traps when investing in crypto.

Europe's Energy Sector: "The Lehman Moment Just Arrived" / Stock-Markets / Financial Crisis 2022

By: EWI

This company's stock price "broke a support shelf that dates back 14 years"

Back in October 2021, two months before Germany's DAX hit an all-time high, our Global Market Perspective showed a big jump in references to "Lehman" in Bloomberg News.

Of course, the use of "Lehman" in a news article has become synonymous with the collapse of the then financial giant during the depths of the 2007-2009 financial crisis.

The October 2021 Global Market Perspective, an Elliott Wave International monthly publication which covers 50-plus worldwide financial markets, said:

The Lehman moment will come later, after investor optimism has receded and stock prices are well off their highs.

When Will the Fed Throw in the Towel on Rate Hikes? / Interest-Rates / US Interest Rates

By: MoneyMetals

The Federal Reserve finally stopped referring to inflation as “transitory” earlier this year and got serious about trying to control the painful rise in prices it has caused. Officials have jacked the Fed funds rate up by 3% since March.

Thus far they have been willing to inflict pain upon financial markets. The S&P 500 lost roughly 20% of its value since the end of March.

The aggressive tightening has also pushed the Federal Reserve note “dollar” higher relative to other major currencies.

Inflation and Interest rates Implications for the Stock Market / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2022

So inflation is not going significantly lower anytime soon, interest rates are still trending higher which does not bode well for the outlook for stocks. And then on top of that we have a weakening economy, STAGFLATION! Definitely not a time for investors to contemplate gambling on no earnings, even high multiples growth stocks. For the indices, it means downwards price pressure and then followed by a trading range..

The widespread (but wrong) belief is companies that sell “essentials,” like Clorox or Johnson & Johnson, are the best way to ride out a recession.

No offense... but I’m not interested in making 5% on a toilet paper stock.

Fate of Stock Market Q4 Rally / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2022

By: Sumeet_Manhas

S&P 500 turnaround was driven by the WSJ article that painted 75bp Nov and 50bp Dec hikes as some kind of a pivot, when it‘s not even a pause. While I had been for weeks of the opinion that this is the most likely route they‘ll take, markets have started favoring 75bp in Dec, and its possibility has been on Friday dialed back to 50% only. That‘s hardly a pause or pivot to me, but the speculation was enough to carry risk-on sentiment reliably into the close.

What I am questioning is whether sustainable bottoms can be made on such a news – even sustainable only in terms of giving rise to a reliable Q4 rally. Not when long-dated Treasuries still haven‘t found a bottom as foreigners are forced to sell in dramatic reversion of seemingly forever trade surpluses and high energy prices, which in case of natural gas can‘t be as regionally comparable as in oil. Together with the Fed balance sheet shrinking, this has implications for the debt markets, which I discussed both in mid Sep and in the above linked article.

The turn in junk bonds is fine for the bulls, but similarly to the S&P 500, it‘s still characterized by a pattern of lower highs after the summer rally fizzled out. It‘s only the Russell 2000 which has managed to keep above the Jun lows – and that confirms the rightful conclusion that the U.S. are best positioned at the moment still to weather the storm. What has become concerning on Friday though, is the dollar‘s daily session – not even sharply higher yields have worked to keep it afloat.

Due Diligence in Private Equity with Mark Hauser / Companies / SME

By: Sumeet_Manhas

There are twice as many private equity firms out there today than there were a decade ago, and private market assets under management have reached an all-time high of $6.3 trillion according to McKinsey’s Private Markets Annual Review. As the market continues to grow and competition along with it, firms must determine how to quickly and effectively evaluate potential deals and identify strong investment opportunities.

According to data from Teten Advisors, the median investor in private companies reviews over 80 opportunities in order to make a single investment. To determine whether an investment is worth pursuing or if it should be passed over all investors conduct a rigorous process known as due diligence, but in the case of private equity a number of unique challenges are presented. Target companies are typically not public, meaning that information typically available in more traditional investments such as SEC filings are not accessible. Additionally, the focus of a private equity company on profits for the fund requires a different perspective from other alternative investments.

US interest Rates and Inflation / Interest-Rates / US Interest Rates

By: Nadeem_Walayat

US market interest rates LEAD the inflation rate. even more so than that which the below graph implies as there is a couple of weeks delay in release of inflation data. And then there is the smoke and mirrors inflation game that the Fed plays i.e. core inflation vs CPI, core is CPI less food and energy because obviously people can survive without food and energy so are excluded so that the Fed gets a more manageable inflation number so as to make their job easier than if they had to cope with a truer inflation rate.
