By: EWI
Crisis, crisis everywhere. But objective, free from the noise of the news, forecasting of commodity prices starts here, with our free Special Report ($155 value).
The geopolitical landscape is wracked. War in Ukraine, humanitarian crisis in Syria, and now, what Vox Media on October 15 called the "worst conflict in decades" between Israel and Hamas. For mainstream analysts who use news as the main predictor of price trends, the escalating tensions have "cast a shadow of uncertainty over global financial markets." (Oct. 11 Moneycontrol)

How I BEAT The Greatest Stock Market CRASH in History - Black Monday October 19th 1987 / Stock-Markets / Stock Market Crash
By: Nadeem_Walayat
It's that time of the year again when the stock market doom merchants are at their most vocal as they focus on the historic apex of the darkest month for stocks of the year, October the 19th, the 29th anniversary of the 1987 Black Monday stock market crash that few saw coming but ever since many expect to repeat. So regardless of what the stock market has actually done thus far, by this point of the year the perma bears can always be seen literally jumping up and down like demented rabbits proclaiming that a crash is once more imminent as they point to a myriad of harbingers of the stock market apocalypse. So it is no wonder that October tends to be an unusually irrational month for where stock market expectations are concerned.

All Eyes are on Nvidia NVDA Stock / Companies / Nvidia
By: Nadeem_Walayat
$433 - EGFS 106%, 203%, PE 141, 201% of range, Fundamentals 3.9
The buying range for Nvidia is $322 to $262, which would take a spectacular collapse of 26% on the current price to the top of the range, never mind the waterfall of 40% down to $262, so the buying range is a tough ask which are a function of the fact of Nvidia's over valuation, as was the case during the 2nd half of 2021 there is no point in chasing after overvaluation a lesson learned by all those who held on during the roller coaster ride from $330 down to $110. So yes it is possible that Nvidia pulls another rabbit out of the hat and all we get was the drop to $400, that is the reality of the stock market, you don't always get what you want. And no, you can not invest with the benefit of hindsight!

The Stock Market Got It Wrong / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2023
By: Avi_Gilburt
As we look back upon another interesting week in the market, there are a few standout matters I would like to point out.
To begin with, I saw the following quote from an interview with well-known economist Austan Goolsbee:
“The timing of the selloff has been something of a “puzzle” given there was no major change in the Fed’s latest projections.”

How Fast will AI Gut Hollywood? / Stock-Markets / AI
By: Stephen_McBride
It’s only a matter of time before someone builds “HollywoodGPT.”
The S&P 500 is slightly up as I write this morning.
Fresh highs in Treasury yields have put pressure on stocks. But I’m not worried about rising rates. As I recently explained, stocks typically go up during rate-hiking cycles!
Here’s what I’m thinking…

GLTL.L - £39 - UK Gilts 15+Yr
UK bonds have been obliterated, portfolios built up in bond funds over the past 10 years have been wiped out! Now you know why I have avoided bonds.

Why You Should Expect a Once-in-a-Lifetime Debt Crisis / Interest-Rates / Global Debt Crisis
By: EWI
U.S. credit card debt surpasses $1 trillion
On a national level, a debt crisis occurs when a country is unable to pay back its government debt. This might result from government spending exceeding tax revenues for an extended period.
On an individual level, a crisis can result from too little income and too much debt -- that simple. This sometimes means defaulting on a car loan, for example, or even declaring bankruptcy.

The flames of Hamas, Israel, apartheid, and Palestine / Politics / Palestine
By: Dan_Steinbock
The Israeli-Hamas War is a logical result of 50 years of failed military policies. Assertive pledges of “national security” will not achieve peace in the Middle East. That requires inclusive economic development.On Saturday, Palestinian militant groups, reportedly led by Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad and other groups, launched a coordinated offensive against nearby Israeli cities, Gaza border crossings, adjacent military installations, and civilian settlements.

By: Nadeem_Walayat
IBTL.L $279- US Treasury 20+yr - US Equiv TLT ETF
Peaked at $523, collapsed to it's recent low of near 50% to $276, imagine all those who swallowed the financial advisors and media sales pitch to be 60% in bonds because they are 'lower risk' then stocks! This is HORRIFIC! MORE THAN DOUBLE THE RISK FOR A FRACTION OF THE RETURN OF STOCKS! HORRIFIC! Still it gives a higher volatility potential to accumulate into right now. Potential upside over 2-4 years is for $422 for a 52% on the current price!

Silver Bulls Are the Walking Wounded / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2023
By: Submissions
Silver has been a major underperformer in recent months, as the white metal proved no match for higher real yields and a stronger USD Index.
With silver gunning for its 2023 lows, the recent sell-off has done severe technical damage. And while the weakness has been a boon for our GDXJ ETF short position, silver could enjoy a meaningful bounce in the weeks ahead. Yet, the technicals are much better than the fundamentals at uncovering support and resistance, and our premium Gold Trading Alert has all of those details.

UK and US Inverted Yield Curves and Bond Funds / Interest-Rates / Inverted Yield Curve
By: Nadeem_Walayat
Yield Curves
At the late 2021 peak of the stock market the US short end yield was zero, long end (20 year) at about 2%. so the yield curve was normal. By the time of the bear market low was starting to invert, with the short end 3.5% vs long end 3.8%, fast forward to day we have the short end at 5.5%, Whilst most recent yield action has seen the short end and the long end nudge higher, hence offering an opportunity to accumulate near the bond markets lows.
