On several occasions since late 2018, we've written about the current similarities to 2010. This "2010 9" theory became our theme for 2019, and we wrote about it here:

The stock market fell in capitulation on Monday, a ‘c’ of “z” type wave that got everyone beared-up. Monday was the 16 TD low and could be the 20 week low as well (94 trading days of the 100 trading day low +/- 15 trading days). The ten week went 49/50 trading days...

An unexpected news event caused the stock market to plunge over the past week, with the Dow Jones Industrials losing several hundred points. Stocks had been crawling back up toward new highs last month in low volatility trading…until suddenly, a black swan arrived...

I have a confession to make: There are no free markets anymore; there are only interventions. Of course, I bow to Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee (GATA) cofounder Chris Powell, who coined that brilliant phrase a few years ago, because it was certainly my exposure...

The short seasonal rally for gold that typically follows India’s Akha Teej holiday (May 7 this year) is in play but this time it is being “juiced” by a major US stock market meltdown! In a game with nine innings, the US business cycle is probably in the eighth or...

Chair Powell claims that subdued inflation is caused by transitory factors. Does the recent data confirms his views? And just how transitory is the new tariff rate on $200bn Chinese imports? Will we see a creep higher in inflation about to lift the gold prices?

Gold prices held steady near one-month highs today as an escalation in Sino-U.S. trade war saw increased risk aversion and sharp selling of stocks which sent investors into safe haven gold.

We have deviated, these past several weeks, from matters monetary. We have written a lot about a nonmonetary driver of higher prices—mandatory useless ingredients. The government forces businesses to put ingredients into their products that consumers don’t know...

John Edmonds, a former vice president at JPMorgan Chase bank, may be headed to prison for cheating clients and investors. But metals investors can hope it won’t be before he is done helping federal investigators catch even bigger fish.

Before we get to looking at those three charts, let’s talk about the trade war. On Friday the Trump administration made good on its threat to raise tariffs on as much as $200 billion worth of Chinese imports to 25 percent from the previous 10 percent. The president...

We had warned you about the miners’ bluff and we hope that you heeded it. Gold is still testing the neck level of the head-and-shoulders pattern, but silver is already back at its 2019 lows, while miners broke decisively below them. It may seem that the miners have...

In a sense in sequel to that which we penned a week ago ("Gold Sits On Its Box Whilst The Herd Chase Stocks"), Gold remains lifeless as another week passes, although the balance of the herd finally is paying the price for overdosing on their stocks vice.

What a difference a week can make.  These past few weeks I’ve been complaining about the Dow Jones inability to do something to the up or downside.  Then this week the Dow decided to do something; like going down 563 points (-2.12%) from last Friday’s close.  The...
