Inflation anyone?
Thinking of
Adding a few more shares, but I’ll definitely wait until after the jobs # comes out tomorrow morning…..
Whatever happened to “higher rates are good for the banks”?
Talking heads said that for a year. Turns out higher rates are breaking small banks. JPM, GS, BAC can paper over the issues.
This might be an interesting day.

Silver lagging again
Having trouble with $22, probably the 50 dma. Silver has to participate.

More eco data than I thought
Building permits beat estimates handily, weekly jobless claims also beat.
The big one is the Philly Fed. Manufacturing report. Came in at -23.6, line that up with the Empire State report and it appears that business has fallen off a cliff.
Hmm…as the SM weakens
we are slowly gaining strength. Rates coming back to flat.
Good as it gets for pm’s.
I’m still looking for another big leg up today or tomorrow.
Oil bouncing but weak
up almost 1% but it’s been beaten down so much it could just be a dead cat.
Copper miners FCX, RIO & BHP are all down after yesterday’s weakness. Palladium is down, getting downside follow-thru from yesterday.
SM futures rolled over, although the Naz futures are up slightly. Europe is higher across the board, a little less than 1%. I suspect Europe will take it’s cue from the US market, and if we have problems they’ll turn south.
The 10’s up 4 bips after a few unbelievably crazy sessions.
We are just biding our time before the explosion in our pm’s.
0430 EST
Looks like we’ve come back to flat after being down all night. The USD is helping, down 1/2% after a big day yesterday.
The usual Thursday eco data is on deck, but jobless claims are generally mute. DOW futures are up 60 pts. but is probably on shaky ground.
Fixed! I thought the SM futures would be up more…
Bailout Arrives: Credit Suisse To Borrow $54BN From SNB To “Pre-emptively Strengthen Liquidity”
“These measures demonstrate decisive action to strengthen Credit Suisse as we continue our strategic transformation to deliver value to our clients and other stakeholders.”
Ipso
That was a neat illustration of the banking derivatives… solar sized!
Didn’t someone predict our sun is about to go Nova in April? A derivative blow up would qualify as a financial Nova.
Gotta say
Today was a big disappointment. Gold up nicely and the junior shares down. At least the bigger miners held their own. I’ve had better days with gold down $20!
Talking is good
US, Russian Military Chiefs Hold Emergency Deconfliction Call For 1st Time In Months

Maddog
I’m not talking about dat trading but those accumulating. Since people are looking at is as a common stock instead of of respecting it as dividend stock that’s all I’ll say other than once it hits a certain number it’s gonna leave the ones trading it as a common stock we’ll never mild you’ll find out.
@Maddog re will bring the world economy to its knees if folks don’t wake the f**k up,
In my view that already happened, thats why everything is so screwed up. I told my friend years ago, many, that eventually they will have to just give people money. Well they gave out plenty even for businesses. They have no choice. They hit the point of no return on that runway. Its Throttle Up Huston. 🙂 Another way to look at it. A crook found a credit card, not reported lost, and its still working, so him and all his friends are having a ball with it. Sooner or later the next purchase will be “Denied.”
I knew by 1975 working in factories, the system was going to collapse in the future because of globalization, foreign competition for our producers, imports killing our jobs, exporting our wealth and wages lagging inflation. I’m glad I lived long enough to see this slow motion train wreak.
I just took a little shot with some Vegas money at ZIM 75 at 24.07
So, they dive-bombed us back to flat in the metals
Pretty good trick if you have enough money and blind regulators.
The 10 yr. is coming back too.
Let’s see how the last hour goes, it’s been favorable lately.
I thought we were in for a big day, still expect one either tomorrow or Friday. Hope it’s not down. 🙂
Stocks Soar After Swiss Authorities Hold “Stabilizing” Talks With Credit Suisse, To Make Statement Shortly
https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/credit-suisse-sparks-global-de-risking-after-top-investor-bails
here are two posts discussing CS……it’s a pile of crap.
‘I worked there, their managers are chosen by a very corrupt and nepotic system, the idiots float to the top so their current state is no surprise to me. They are also super woke and we know where that inevitably leads.
Current wokeness and crazy policies, zero carbon, mandated diverity quotas, etc. will bring the world economy to its knees if folks don’t wake the f**k up, and pretty quickly.’
and
‘I did a lot of work with CS a few decades ago. It was a chaotic place even back then. CS did extremely well ‘privatising’ state companies after the fall of the Soviet Union. Enough said on that, but the individuals involved closing the deals did even better. Literally they had bankers returning from business trips to find a Ferrari parked on their driveway with the ignition keys posted through the letter box. The subsequent take-over of DLJ was also mired in controversy. Rumour is the DLJ board would only approve the final deal if CS greased them personally with an additional $1 billion to be shared between about a dozen DLJ board members. Nice. Within 12-months all the DLJ staff had left and the whole thing was worth zippo.’
I’ll add that DLJ was also a pile of crap, full of crooks…they owned a bullion operation I forget the name,…when it all went tits up….they had a whole load of Portugals Gold on a lease deal from the CB….which they sold, and paid their bonus’ from…Portugal never got the gold back….

yeah Alex, me too
I don’t think it will end this way but the SM is definitely dragging us down,
Looks like Credit Suisse is going belly up.
USD is absolutely screaming higher. No doubt foreign demand for USD’s to buy treasuries.
Stunning that the metals aren’t getting crushed. They’ve tried several times but haven’t been able to break them yet.
The Fed is going to have to print like crazy to rescue the banks but the dollar is up a bunch?
Is this the least dirty shirt in the world scenario?
Gold Is Kryptonite For The Federal Reserve Note. The Fed Is Shooting Blanks
Last year the ten year interest was 2%. It got to 4.2% and today 3.4% and Gold is $1,938. The higher rate did noting against gold. If anything, the higher rates only stopped gold from being $2500 today. Gold is up today even with the dollar up today. Energy was the best sector and now even they are crashing.
Alex Valdor
Mine too! Who can figure this shi* out!
Gold and silver up
but my portfolio of miners is down .
YEP! That makes sense …
