Raising the Ides of March US Debt Ceiling Limit / Interest-Rates / US Debt
By: BATR
One of the most played out scenarios in the rarified air of Washington life support is keeping the debt balloon inflating without blowing. Dismissing all the drama from the Kabuki theater that relies upon passing another continuing resolution to raise the debt limit seems to be one of the most reliable predictions that can be made about Congress. Come hell or high water, the borrowing ceiling goes up. So when Mnuchin calls on Congress to raise debt limit as deadline approaches, all seems ready to follow the familiar pattern of kicking the can down the road.

Gold and Silver Commercial Traders Begin to Cover Short Positions / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2017
By: Jason_Hamlin
Does the trend change in the short position of commerical traders signal a bottom for precious metals?
Gold and silver posted a strong start to the year in 2017, despite the December rate hike. This was a repeat of last year, when the December 2015 Federal Reserve rate hike was followed by a massive rally in precious metals. However, both gold and silver have pulled back sharply over the past few weeks. Gold is down $60 or 4.5% to $1,200, while silver is down $1.40 or 7.5% to $17 per ounce.

Stock Market Elliott Wave Target: SPX 2,700 / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Ed_Carlson
Looking at the bull market advance since 2009, we can see at least two options for counting. The options are that wave 3 ended in May'15 (blue) or wave 3 is ongoing (green).
The late 2015 decline certainly looks like a potential wave 4 except that the high earlier in May that year came with a negative divergence in RSI. Third waves usually have a strong RSI reading (like now).

Caesar, Turkey and the Netherlands Ides of March / Politics / European Union
By: Raul_I_Meijer
I don’t think Holland realized they planned their election on the Ides of March, don’t remember the date or event ever being mentioned when I lived there as a child. That Washington knew what it was doing when back in 2013 it set the end of the latest debt ceiling compromise to March 15 is not likely either. Nor is Janet Yellen deliberately setting the Fed’s ‘next’ rate hike on the date. They may all, in hindsight, wish they had possessed a little more historical knowledge.

Here's What the Stock Market Could do for the 3rd Time in 17 years / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Michael_Pento
The major averages continue to set record highs, which provides further evidence that Wall Street is becoming more complacent with the growing dichotomy between equity prices and the underlying strength of the U.S. economy. When investors view the Total market cap to GDP ratio, it becomes strikingly clear that economic growth has not at all kept pace with booming stock values in the past few years.

Why 2017 Can be a Golden Year / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2017
By: Submissions
Nandik Barbhaiya writes: The investment landscape is facing significant changes in 2017 on the back of an unpredictable and, at times, chaotic political environment in 2016. The extent of the repercussions of the ‘Leave’ vote in Britain’s EU referendum, the start of Donald Trump’s controversial Presidency, and Marie La Pen’s recent popularity ahead of France’s upcoming elections are all set to make a considerable impact on business and trading worldwide. Here, we look at alternative trading options for 2017 with a focus on gold investment.

The Number One Reason You Should Own Physical Gold / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2017
By: John_Mauldin
105 years ago, American financier J.P. Morgan testified before Congress. When asked if the control of credit involved a control of money, Morgan responded by saying, “Not always. [Credit] is an evidence of banking, but [credit] is not the money itself. Money is gold, and nothing else.”
Although they are not the same, “money” and “credit” are used interchangeably in our vocabulary today. Given the massive credit expansion over the past four decades, understanding the difference between the two has never been more important.

The U.S. Economy, Post-Payrolls & Pre-FOMC / Economics / US Economy
By: Gary_Tanashian
This week’s Notes From the Rabbit Hole included a little Payrolls/Wages related economic discussion before moving on to the usual coverage of stock markets, commodities, precious metals, bonds, currencies and related indicators and market internals. With FOMC on tap there will be more data noise directly ahead, but then I expect markets to smooth out into what is looking like a sensible short and intermediate-term plan.
