Sell Gold in May and Go Away / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2017
By: Submissions
By Jack Huyn: Recently I have read some commentaries state that the old saying "Sell in May and Go Away" might work great for stocks, but it's not the wisest choice when it comes to gold this year. According to these commentaries, gold maintained its upward momentum in April following a very positive first quarter. Despite last week’s retreat to $1,225/ounce, gold's fundamental case remains solidly intact, and additional gains are anticipated as 2017's second half approaches.

Macron Wins French Presidential Election, Le Pen to Concede Defeat on Close of Polls / ElectionOracle / France
By: Nadeem_Walayat
The last minute En Marche! hack and leak of 9 gigabytes of Emmanuel Macron's personal and campaign emails came too late to have any effect on the outcome of the French Presidential election, as going into voting day the Rothschild Banker Macron led Fascist Le Pen by a huge 26%, 63% against 37%, an unbridgeable gap, which means Emmanuel Macron IS the next President of France.

Did MI6 Not Putin Hack French Election, Macron Emails Leak for BrExit War? / ElectionOracle / BrExit
By: Nadeem_Walayat
A huge estimated 9 gigabytes of the Macron personal and campaign emails have been leaked within 24 hours of the French people going to the polls with all eyes on Czar Putin's hacking regime that so successfully hacked the US Presidential election for his Manchurian candidate Donald Trump. Where for the French election Putin's clear candidate of choice is far right Marine Le Pen, who earlier in the campaign had paid a visit to her master at the Kremlin, so it is no wonder that every one in the clueless mainstream press is pointing the finger at Czar Putin.

Plunger’s Big Trade Update & Gold Stocks GDXJ update / Commodities / Commodities Trading
By: Plunger
GDXJ-
One can see from Rambus’ below charts that it appears the PM stocks are still early on in the decline process. I would agree, but of course stocks don’t move in a straight uninterrupted line. Therefore I would suggest we are due for a bit of an upward retracement soon. I claim this on the following basis: RSI is now significantly oversold and is now putting in a positive divergence (note red line). Also stochastics are extended to full range and appear to be in the first stage of turning up. We have reached its measured move as depicted. Also its reached the boundary of its Bollinger Band, (altough not outside of it). As a result I covered my short today and actually went long JNUG and some selective shares. I am looking for no more than a bounce up. It may look like a BT to the red bear flags Rambus has drawn in the below charts. I am not advocating others do the same just discussing trading opportunities.

Gold And Silver – Asylum Globalists Still Prevail / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2017
By: Michael_Noonan
Usually, we endeavor to tie in our commentaries to gold and silver, sometimes straining the association, but in reality, there is much more affecting the price of PMs than meets the obvious. There can be no question that the globalists running the federal government of the United States have been actively suppressing the price of gold directly since 1933,
when the moneychangers shut down the US banking system and reopened it five days later, totally under the control of the Federal Reserve, owned specifically by foreign banking interests. [The Federal Reserve has never been a part of the US government. The globalists have let the world think that it is. Deception is one of their main ruses.]

UK Local Elections 2017 - Labour Blood Bath, UKIP Death, Tory June 8th Landslide / ElectionOracle / UK Local Elections
By: Nadeem_Walayat
The local election results have confounded election logic which is that the party in government
tends to do badly at mid-term local elections. Of course we are not living in normal times, we are living in the age of BrExit where most voters realise the fundamental fact that there is only one party that has any chance of ensuring a successful Brexit outcome, the Conservative party and so the voters are intent on putting the country first by delivering Labour a blood bath whilst to all intents and purpose literally KILLING UKIP off in Thursdays vote which saw many Labour and most UKIP voters mark their ballot papers with crosses and ticks against the Conservative candidate.

Donald “Big Government” Trump Approves Of Even Bigger Budget Than Obama / Politics / Government Spending
By: Jeff_Berwick
Yesterday, the House passed another massive yearly “Omnibus Appropriations” spending bill which came in at a whopping $1.163 trillion! That’s more than Obama spent last year.
American’s who thought Donald Trump was really going to bring hope and change must really be shocked to see spending as yuge, or yuger than Obama’s.

Gold-Futures Stocks Shorting Attacks / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2017
By: Zeal_LLC
Gold has suffered a sharp pullback over the past couple weeks, stoking much bearish sentiment. While a variety of factors fed this selloff, the precipitating catalyst was a gold-futures shorting attack. These are relatively-rare episodes of extreme selling specifically timed and executed to manipulate gold prices lower rapidly. Traders need to understand these events, which are inherently self-limiting and soon bullish.
Gold-futures shorting attacks are very real, with telltale volume and price signatures unlike anything else. I’ve studied them for many years now, and have written extensively about them in our newsletters as they occur. But it’s critical to realize these rare events are only responsible for a tiny fraction of all gold selling. The vast majority of the time gold selloffs are driven by other far-more-normal factors, not shorting attacks.

Why the Trump Tax Plan May Implode in America Rather than Explode in China / Politics / Taxes
By: Dan_Steinbock
Recently, President Trump released a US tax cut plan to reshore US corporate revenues. Some expect it to cause great challenges to manufacturing and capital outflows from China. The realities are more complex.At the eve of the White House’s 100-day mark in office, the Trump administration released an outline of tax reductions for American companies and households. There is great demand for change. US tax individual income tax system is broken, and while US corporate tax rates are high internationally, US companies have parked more than $1 trillion worth of cash abroad.

Gold Stocks and Silver Nearing Relief Rally / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2017
By: Jordan_Roy_Byrne
The past few weeks have been rough for precious metals. Gold had climbed all the way to $1297/oz but the other parts of the sector (Silver and the gold stocks) failed to confirm the move. They have since fallen off a cliff. Over the past 14 days, GDX has lost 15% while GDXJ has declined 20%. Silver during that span has declined every day. Yes, Silver has declined 14 consecutive days. Gold still has some “catching down” to do (with the rest of the sector) but the gold stocks and Silver are oversold and nearing a bounce.

Gold Price Cycle Low Update / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2017
By: SurfCity
Seems everyone (me included) is trying to spot when the next Intermediate Low in Gold and PMs will be. Again, one of the things I am looking for is a failed short term Trading Cycle to confirm the move into the next Intermediate Low.
Well we now have Failed Trading Cycles in Silver and two Failed Cycles in GDX and GDXJ. Silver and the GDXJ are very oversold here so could we be nearing an Intermediate Bottom (RSI, MACD and Slow Sto are all at or approaching ICL levels)? But Gold is the Cycle driver and the Gold chart is giving me some issues (see my next section).

Stock Market Volatile Consolidation Day / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Harry_Boxer
The stock market indices had a very topsy-turvy volatile session. The day started out with a hard gap down, they bounced hard, came down again with another bounce up, came down one more time around the noon hour even harder, and then rallied for the rest of the day. They consolidated late in the day and firmed up to close mixed on the day.
Net on the day, the Dow was down 6.43 at 20,951.47. The S&P 500 was up 1.39 at 2389.52. The Nasdaq 100 was up 1.16 at 5626.32.

Nervous Breakdowns in the Gold and Silver Precious Metals Markets / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2017
By: Rambus_Chartology
The internet is slower than molasses in January and hard to annotate charts, but I got a few updated. Below is the combo chart for the PM complex we’ve been following which shows the dominate pattern being the triangle consolidation pattern. Just before I left the price action was breaking out below the bottom rail and I was looking for a possible backtest to the underside to take one last position. Some had a complete backtest but others didn’t. If you were lucky enough to get that last position great job.
