OPEC Oil Deal Already Showing Signs of Stress / Commodities / Crude Oil
By: AnyOption
Even though Saudi Arabia was quick to proclaim a victory at the outset of the year after reducing its own oil production to levels agreed upon in Vienna, there are numerous threats to the outlook for crude prices. Despite claims that the move to reduce OPEC output will be enough to drain the approximate 300 million barrels in global oversupply within six months, a move by the Cartel and non-OPEC members to ramp up production afterwards could beckon the resurgence of global oversupply.

Rising UK Inflation Means it’s Still a Dreadful time to be a Saver / Personal_Finance / Savings Accounts
By: MoneyFacts
Data from Moneyfacts.co.uk can reveal that rate reductions in the savings market have now outweighed rate rises for 15 consecutive months.
In December, Moneyfacts recorded 21 savings rate rises. Disappointingly, rate reductions over the same period outshone this figure, with the number of rate decreases standing at 84 – which translates to four cuts to every rate rise – and some deals falling by as much as 0.60%, much higher than the current Bank of England Base Rate of 0.25%.

By: Jordan_Roy_Byrne
Gold and Gold stocks have rallied as expected and the consolidation in the miners in recent days looks bullish. GDX and GDXJ have digested the recent recovery quite well as Gold is testing resistance around $1200/oz. While the price action portends to more gains so does the breadth in the miners as well as short-term structure in the US$ index and bond yields.

Trump anti-Communist Counter Revolution / Politics / US Politics
By: BATR
The century anniversary of the Bolshevik Revolution occurs this year. Any serious examination of The Russian Revolution and the Soviet Union must conclude that the systematic eradications of millions and the ruthlessness of the Communist commissars rule was a miserable failure, even by Marxist postulates. Russia today is quite different from the Gulag Archipelago that Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn experienced and wrote about. “And those who, like you and me, dear reader, go there to die, must get there solely and compulsorily via arrest.”

US Stock Market Update as the Trump Inauguration Approaches / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: The_Gold_Report
Technical analyst Clive Maund forecasts a stock market "swoon" in light of the impending inauguration of Donald Trump.
The election of Donald Trump sparked a rally in the broad stock market, which has continued up to the present. According to the laws of reverse (inverse) logic that rule the markets, his inauguration as President is likely to trigger a swoon, and as we will shortly see, there are other compelling technical reasons for the market to drop back soon. It is worth noting that selling might start kicking in before the inauguration.

The American Crisis - Common Sense 2017 / Politics / US Politics
By: James_Quinn
Thomas Paine was born in 1737 in Britain. His first thirty seven years of life were pretty much a series of failures and disappointments. Business fiascos, firings, the death of his first wife and child, a failed second marriage, and bankruptcy plagued his early life. He then met Benjamin Franklin in 1774 and was convinced to emigrate to America, arriving in Philadelphia in November 1774. He thus became the Father of the American Revolution with the publication of Common Sense, pamphlets which crystallized opinion for colonial independence in 1776.
The first pamphlet was published in Philadelphia on January 10, 1776, and signed anonymously “by an Englishman.” It became an instantaneous sensation, swiftly disseminating 100,000 copies in three months among the two and a half million residents of the 13 colonies. Over 500,000 copies were sold during the course of the American Revolution. Paine published Common Sense after the battle of Lexington and Concord, making the argument the colonists should seek complete independence from Great Britain, rather than merely fighting against unfair levels of taxation. The pamphlets stirred the masses with a fighting spirit, instilling in them the backbone to resist a powerful empire.

Obama Leaves, Hope Arrives, Will Stupid Stay? / Politics / US Politics
By: Barry_M_Ferguson
Obama’s presidential term will mercifully expire on 1/19/17. Hallelujah! He can quickly descend to his correct historical position as the second worst leader in american history beside the 28th president, Woodrow Wilson. Why is Wilson the worst leader ever? A brief synopsis follows.
1 - Wilson ceded power to the Federal Reserve Bank in 1913 (an un-Constitutional act)
2 - Wilson gave us the 16th Constitutional Amendment giving the federal government power and authority to seize taxation from payrolls (another un-Constitutional act)
3 - Wilson injected the US into WWI at the delight of the central bankers who were kind enough to loan money for the butchery of humans around the globe.
4 - Wilson showed the first film in the White House. It promoted the good work of the KKK.

By: Nadeem_Walayat
The gold price bottomed on the 15th of December 2016 at $1124.30 since which entered an uptrend that has taken the precious metal to its recent high of $1207, apparently catching many gold bugs asleep at the wheel, many of whom had publically thrown in the towel due to the failure of Gold to perform post Trump, but most recently have been busy scrambling to play catch up as the price homed on on $1200.

Stock Market Inauguration Day Selling? / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Brad_Gudgeon
Last time I wrote, I discussed the possibility of a Friday the 13th sell-off. Did I really believe it would happen? Actually, the odds were better for a January 20th sell-off based on the planets and dragonfly candle stick pattern we saw on 1/12 than the 13th.
What I was pointing out was the 10 week cycle low pattern ( 6 or 7 TD's from 50 TD's) and daily Bollinger Band squeeze alone. Now we have Mars Sq. Saturn 1/19 and the Sun/Jupiter lines crossing on 1/18. On 1/23 we have Mercury sextiling Neptune. That day should be very positive!

This is going to be a pivotal year for China. We will see if it can levitate another year or whether it falls back to Earth in 2017. My base case is that they continue the levitation act, but we are going to see an increase in volatility.

New Oil Drilling Technology Will Soon Spark an Explosion of Oil Stocks Sector / Commodities / Oil Companies
By: John_Mauldin
Energy stocks have been tearing higher since the election on bets that the Trump administration will relax environmental restrictions and open more federal lands to oil and gas drilling. Crude oil’s staying north of $50 hasn’t hurt, either.
It is up there in part because OPEC threw in the towel and agreed to production limits. Unfortunately for OPEC, those limits don’t apply to US and Canadian shale producers. And the history of OPEC is that they all cheat like crazy, anyway.

The US Economy Could Turn Around in 2017—Or Crash / Economics / US Economy
By: John_Mauldin
Markets have rallied since November on the expectation that Trump and the Republicans will quickly enact a growth-oriented economic agenda—including tax cuts, regulatory relief, and targeted economic stimulus projects.
As I talk to people involved in the transition, I am gaining more confidence that a good part of that agenda will actually be realized. It’s clear to me that the right people want it to happen, at least.
