UK Markets Implode After Truss Unveils Historic Tax Cuts As Economy Slides Into Recession Amid Soaring Prices
New UK Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng has stunned (read crashed) UK markets by making giant economic gamble with his ‘mini-budget’ to “turn the vicious cycle of stagnation into a virtuous cycle of growth” whose goal is to shock the UK economy back to life with a massive 45 billion pound tax cut – the largest since the 1970s – including slashing the 45% additional tax rate for the highest earners. Instead of stabilizing markets, as some maybe hoped in light of the relentless plunge in cable to the lowest level since 1985 – the announcement sparked mayhem instead as it promises even more inflation at a time when the UK is set to slide into a crippling stagflationary recession as prices soar, and tax cuts will only ensure even more inflation, just as Albert Edwards warned last night.
As note above, Kwarteng unveiled the most significant tax cuts since the 1970s, to be funded at a time when interest rates are soaring. He abandoned Boris Johnson’s economic policies to increase taxes to pay for public services, while the Bank of England warned earlier this week the economy ‘might already be in recession’.

with the kick-off of the crash of stocks and PMs today, in a few weeks or months CDE should visit the low $2 right range–I also like Hecla–these are not explorers or juniors at $30 to $50 silver–not to mention 100 to 500 silvers as some demented visionary seers have called for, these 2 companies should reward their bottom pickers handsomely..
.CDE–here are some comments by astute bloggers=
They sold their smallest mine (27,000 ounces production, less than 10% of their whole production) for $150m plus conditional $50m which is great. These $200m represent 25% of the current market cap – so the divestment is creating value in my opinion. They can use the proceeds to further develop their business without diluting or taking debt.
Also note the 50 million in cash that’s coming in the future from AU as soon as they have reached the set amount of ounced mined.
You wanted NEW MANAGEMENT Coeur has expanded NEW MANAGEMENT=
Rochestor build and refreshed Senior leadership starting with Mick Routledge brought in after 20 years and reaching the level of COO Kennecott Copper mine the largest in the world and the hiring of SNC Lavalin may have expoesed the inadequacy of Terry Smith and Hans Rassmussen.Rasmussen went from stating in 2020-2021 the most exciting of his life to taking a trip with COO Routledge to Kensington and announcing he was retiring
Somebody posted familar with Nevada operations that several Engineers were be turned over and surmised it maybe the Rio Tinto factor).The added bandwidth with addition of VP Projects Dan Einarson with 40 years at Rio Tinto and his experience with large Cap Ex global projects and complex processing and his time spent with affillates firms SNC Lavalin, ACECOM and Worsley.There was also the bringing in of Cody Southelin as VP of UU Projects that had 10 years at Rio Tinto. and more recently GM of Barrick Newmont Nevada.Then the addition of Aoife McGraph highly educated with two Master of Science degrees in Geology and District scale experience from Barrick as Senior VP Exploration Africa and Middle East.

A new Board member addition Jeane Hull has 35 year operational leadership and engineering,She was also a COO from RioTintos Kennecott Copper Mine as well as holding engineering and operational positions.

yeah, that’s a big concern once we breach at the close. Opens up new lows in the HUI and opens up a run all the way down to 130. That would be absurd, but it could happen. These miners are shit because of the manipulated metals prices.
Ipso – good for NEM delaying expansion, these miners just need to halt production or refuse to sell their metal to the Crimex. I really didn’t think the HUI would ever get back to these levels.

I tend to think ultimately this will be deflationary as well. OTOH, the USD should be deflationary, but it’s not because all fiat currencies are falling against real goods.
I’m not sure this can be solved without some world or country coming out with a currency that has backing. Such uncertain times, all created by the Globalist elites and their central banks. This did not need to happen and now the Powell says there’s going to be some pain for people and businesses. No shit, and they are doing it intentionally. I don’t know how Europe is surviving the massive inflation, along with all the other countries that need dollars for transactions. If the dollar has lost 11.5% in purchasing power since 2020, what has happened to the Cando, AUS, etc.? They must have lost more?

The last time they had the dollar this high near 120, Gold was $250/oz. So far they aren’t doing so good with $1650. I think a melt up in the dollar would be very amusing. Like a meme stock.

Markets will focus on Chair Jerome Powell’s opening remarks at a Fed Listens event at 2 p.m. after the central bank
gave the clearest signal yet that it’s willing to tolerate a recession as the necessary trade-off for regaining control of inflation.
US data include S&P Global services and manufacturing PMI after private-sector activity in the euro zonecontracted for a third month.
***************************************************************************************
BUYGOLD–I doubt Powell would throw mkts. a bone…but I am sure there is pressure from the dems to Dave stocks before the election…I think that will be hard to do…Wall St is finally realizing that America is switching over to socialism/communism and that those in power are profoundly hostile to capitalism
********************************************************************************************
Captain Hook has been saying for a long time to expect stocks and gold to crash–He has a buy target of approximately $20 on GDX as some kind of marker for a PM sector bottom in November.

Internet has been buzzing about some sort of event taking place tomorrow. I think it has something to do with a Simpson’s episode. Apparently in the past a Simpson episode had something to do with 9/11 as well.
Who can know with Biden’s handlers in charge? God, please let the Republicans take Congress before the Demonrats and RINO’s completely destroy our culture.
I don’t think Putin will use nukes, unless his country is fighting at home. I would expect every nation on the planet would do the same.
Geez, I’ve had a lot to say this am. I hope you all are listening. 🙂

Often when you see headlines like that, it’s just the opposite. About to change. Wishful thinking. And with all the inflation inflation inflation talk, the opposite, deflation could rear its ugly head.
Keep in mind the Feds original concern was, deflation, and they kept trying to maintain 2% inflation was their story. So they dropped rates hard to support the weak economy, create some spending leading to so called inflation.
Meanwhile the whole globalization financial system from 1913 has been failing since the 2008 financial crisis. They can thank 9/11 for that. The global canary. And all their other nonsense leadership agendas caused them to finally be confronted by 74 million people electing an outsider, Donald Trump. Their Kryptonite. This is great, be happy.
All the highly educated idiots running things have accomplished is buying time to delay the end game, a big global currency fiasco. And higher Gold. The US Dollar chart is too high forming a very nice rhino formation. Up like the stairway and down the elevator. Also resent news was saying banks and governments were accumulating Gold. Are they driving USD higher so they (and us) can take advantage and buy more Gold cheaper?

Thanks for posting the class action lawsuit. I will be calling them this am, I’ve taken some pretty good hits on Nugt and JNUG. I’ll be joining that suit looking for my two cents on the dollar settlement.

Where IS the money going? Looks like it’s into cash. I think a one-year CD yields almost 4%. I’m not sure this is a great entry point as bonds are selling off pretty quickly, not really showing any signs of slowing down. 10 yr. now 3.80%
I really wish I could do this all over again. Gold has never been a good hold during market turmoil, the shares just outperform to the downside. We just breached $1650 and buying came into support, but for how long? (answer: about 10 minutes. Now we’re in big trouble.
I should have taken action when the Bond King Jeff Gundlach said gold was overvalued at $1900.
I checked my gold dealer and he has a lot in stock of everything. Looks like more people are selling their phyzz. At least silver eagles are getting $25 ea.

Looks like London has done their job. SM is in crash mode; I could see it drop 10% by this time next Friday. I wonder if it will matter to the Fed? I don’t think the SM is even close to bottoming and will end up testing the Covid lows under $20K for the DOW.
All the usual suspects. USD ripping, 10 yr up 5 bips. Oil getting crushed 3% and threatening to go below 80
$1650 looks like it will fall. I don’t watch a lot of the other commodities but I’d assume they’ve been falling as well? I know copper is down over 3% today.
Here’s what I don’t understand. In 2007, housing dropped first, and the rates were causing blow ups and defaults all around the world. Are the big banks that much stronger that they can afford the wreckage? What happens when foreclosures get going in earnest? This much I know, Blackrock has $40 Billion
I’m just throwing this out there for shits and giggles.
Otherwise, this looks to be a very ugly and depressing day. We’re used to it. We’ve spent about 80% of the time dropping in the last 20 years.

Here’s some market short ETFs. SDS QID TZA SQQQ, TBT goes up with higher rates. I’m on TZA lately. Naturally they are risky and designed for short term, so if you play with only $2000 a 10% move up or down is only $200. If you think Nat gas is too high? Short it, KOLD has $4.9 billion dollar volume so far today.

Super volatile but the VIX is down?
I guess most people like me, have no idea whether to buy or sell.
We’re sort of lucky we’re not getting creamed yet. Couple of months ago if rates were screaming higher we’d be down $50
