Copper: The India Factor / Commodities / Copper
By: The_Energy_Report
Michael Ballanger of GGM Advisory Inc. shares how India's copper demand may impact the metal's price. Ballanger also reviews the gold and silver market, and shares one company he thinks might have a VMS project.
As I was doing some research this week on the history of copper demand, what started as a focus on China wound up with some interesting revelations surrounding the economic history of neighboring India. Despite going to high school with a number of classmates who had immigrated from India, I never actually took the time to understand the rich history of India, largely because the narrative was always centered around the British Raj and how colonialism saved the poor savages from a grim future.

Holocaust Survivor States Israel is Like Nazi Germany, The Fourth Reich / Politics / Palestine
By: N_Walayat
I say this as a holocaust Survivor that the genocide in Gaza, is not happening in my name and in our name. The way that the Israeli government is using the memory of the Holocaust in order to justify what they're doing to the Gazans is a complete insult to the memory of the Holocaust it's an outrage. When I saw the Israeli ambassador to the United Nations putting on a yellow star it was stomach turning.

Fourth Reich Invades Rafah Concentration Camp To Kill Palestinian Children / Politics / Palestine
By: N_Walayat
Israel's game plan from the orchestrated Oct 7th False Flag attack is to kill as many Palestinian children as they can so that they don't grow up to become Palestinian freedom fighters. and so having concentrated the civilian population in Gaza Israel's army is about to launch a full assault on the concentration camp to this end, all whilst perpetuating propaganda that they are the victims which is akin to the Nazi Germans propaganda that they were the victims at the hands of concentration inmates. History has come full circle as those who should never again are the ones doing it again, a Palestinian Holocaust at the hands of the Fourth Reich.

THE GLOBAL WARMING CLIMATE CHANGE MEGA-TREND IS THE INFLATION MEGA-TREND! / Politics / Climate Change
By: Nadeem_Walayat
I won't bore you with worthless academic models that started from a 0.8c rise this century ranging all the way to +3c. The IPCC still cling onto hopes of limiting a rise in average temperatures to just +2c, on the basis of the world going carbon net zero by 2050 by means of removing 11gt of carbon per year, IPCC fiction vs current reality of just 2 million tonnes of carbon removal per year or 0.02% of target! It's too late where even as if by magic the clown politicians all sat down and agreed to go carbon neutral right now won't make any difference because Co2 is NOT the PRIMARY DRIVER! It's what tipped the climate over the edge in search of a new higher equilibrium, the temperature will now rise regardless of what humanity does to limit carbon emissions.

Stocks sold off on the news. But gold and silver markets bounced modestly off their lows from earlier in the week.

GOLD, OIL and WHEAT STOCKS / Commodities / Commodities Trading
By: Kelsey_Williams
Financially speaking, the markets have been all over the map in the past four years since the onset of Covid and the self-inflicted wounds from forced economic shutdown. I went back to August 2020, five months after the festivities began, and pulled up some charts which show the price action since then for gold (money), wheat (food), crude oil (energy), and stocks (S&P 500). I will make some comments after each chart and provide observations at the end of the article. We’ll start with gold…

Is Bitcoin Still an Asymmetric Opportunity? / Currencies / Bitcoin

What’s that screeching sound?
- Does this make you nostalgic?
I can still hear the screeching sound of my old dial-up struggling to connect to the internet.
Remember those days? I’d fight with my brothers and sister for a turn on our one family computer.
Slow websites. Frozen pages. Dropped connections. The early days of the internet were rough.

US Presidential Election Year Equity Performance in the Presence of an Inverted Yield Curve / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2024
By: Submissions
We have been hearing financial media pundits tells us that the stock market will continue to rise throughout 2024. One of their arguments is that we are in a presidential election year. The link between the stock market and the election cycle is simply that the incumbent party increases fiscal spending to stimulate growth and make Americans feel better about the economy, and hence the chances of the incumbent party getting re-elected. More spending is good for firm profits, and stocks rise. The Biden administration is certainly adhering to this tradition with massive fiscal spending in 2024.

These kinds of accusations can affect everything from your sales and partnerships to the morale and mental health of your workforce.Even before assertions are investigated, damage is done to your reputation based on rumour alone. A recent example is major firms like John Lewis quitting CBI following reports of rape before the case has even reached court.
