Hope it stays this time and resolves the uranium conflict the demos can’t even screw up.
PMI
This didn’t mention the private sector numbers. A PMI above 50 suggest expansion in that sector, below 50 suggest contraction. The other two could be either from public or private.
The U.S. ISM Services PMI for May 2025 was released today, showing a decrease to 49.9, down from 51.6 in April. This indicates a contraction in the services sector. The ISM Manufacturing PMI was also released, showing a decrease to 48.5, down from 48.7 in April.
Hey deer79
Wow just saw that with oil, down 5%. I don’t have any skin in the oil game so I’m not exactly upset by the drop because of gas prices. If you’re taking a hit, sorry about that. I wonder what they know, or think they know?
We’re getting totally hosed in the pm’s today too given the reversal and drop in the dollar and rates. We should be having a big day.
The volume is decent for this time of day and heavy in AG and EXK among the silvers, but looking about average with the large golds and the ETF’s
Will be interesting to see if things pick up here in the last couple hours. The booger eaters have kept the metals down all day for the most part while we should be running hard.
It looks like there’s some interest in the bond market, maybe the Fed has leaked that they’re about to start easing. I know Fed Governor Waller came out Friday on CNBS and said they should be cutting. Hard to believe it would be a flight to safety.
Maddog said rightfully that the big money is largely controlled by Jewish interests, maybe a quid pro quo going on for dropping the bunker busters. I’d like to think that doesn’t happen, but no doubt it does, and for Trump’s eco plan to really succeed he needs rates back near zero or in-line with Europe at the very least.
Chinese citizens reject CBDC (India too) …
… for some strange reason … Chinese citizens don’t like losing control of their money and increased complexity … especially when it expires after six months or a year … (YouTube won’t allow me to copy the URL – but here is the link)
China’s Digital Yuan Experiment FAILING — Citizens REJECT State Money, Panic GROWS – YouTube
This will happen in the West as well … they want cash back.
It’s in the bible … 42 months of this crap max (don’t know when it starts – may already be counting) … the commies will have to find real jobs.

Those are all good points. The main stream media has been busy putting out propaganda on Iran for days that look like they are trying to give any reason they can which isn’t as simple with a partial story, to justify war with Iran. Meanwhile theyre silent about Ukraine. I have some ideas about that but war games or strategies are not my field. To me a good war is no war.

This action in Oil is classic as u say…..Serious trouble in the ME over the weekend…..pay the open Sunday evening……lose yr arse by Monday afternoon…..
This has happened so often….
The hubris
of these manipulators knows no bounds………they think they can control every financial derivative to their advantage……..
FWIW
The scum have done a number on Oil today. There were headlines about the possibility of Iran attacks on US bases occurring soon……
So what does the scum and its algorithm do?
Bomb oil for $3 to the downside…………..so utterly predictable. The algorithms have taken historical patterns and thrown them out the window…..
Maddog
I think that’s right.
They’ve got our silver sector pinched today. We should be doing better.
If Ritter is right and Israel is losing the mkts would not be happy
oil and PM’s would be flying, the SM crashing.
Like it or not a certain community control one hell of a lot of money…..and they would be panicking…..
Dollar falls back with rates
and they come in and drop the hammer on gold and the shares.
Makes perfect sense
Wow
The shares, but especially the large cap golds look spectacular.
Didn’t see that coming. hopefully the silver shares will catch on and join the fray.
The DC commies are stealing your land (again) …
A little-known provision in the Senate’s new reconciliation bill isn’t just about selling public land – it’s about stripping local communities of control. The provision bans states and counties from regulating “AI Systems” for a full decade, opening the door to opaque development far beyond housing. From data centers to deed-restricted zones, this bill rewrites who gets a say in the future of American land.

Because the commies need more power and money – because they don’t have enough.
Because they never have enough. (that includes The Donald if you haven’t figured that out yet)
Mornin all
Looks like the criminals arrived for work
I mentioned there were PCE’s today, it’s actually PMI’s that come out at 0945 EST.
Doubt they’ll move the needle though as we fight the dollar. Rates are dropping, down near 4 bips.

Morning Goldie
It’s all just bizarre to me. On X this morning a soldier posted the picture of a transport plane full of troops saying they were heading to Iran. I don’t know if it’s true or not. I don’t know what to believe about anything.
It’s also hard to believe Israel would have miscalculated so badly, which would indicate they had the guarantee that we would join them. We are in no shape to be fighting another war. Europe is no help. Seems like TPTB are slow walking us into WW3.
Lastly, China could move on Taiwan and Russia could easily take Ukraine without our support, but China has some of their own problems, not the least of which are economic, course maybe that’s a bigger reason to go to war. They also have a huge Achilles heel with the 3 Gorges Dam. I believe even Taiwan has the capability to hit that with missile strikes.
Then there’s India and Pakistan with no love lost there.
All of this feels staged, like world leaders got together and said “OK, this is how we’re going to split the pot.”
What would take all eyes off this and unite the world? Some sort of event involving aliens. I’ve come across some videos that have said that was about to happen as well.
Everything has gotten so complex and information flies at us a million miles an hour, misinformation as well. I have no doubt this is intentional and meant to keep us confused and away from truth.
As for me and my house, we follow the way, the truth, and the life.
Ferrett
That MacGregor??? Doesn’t seem to like Trump but seems to have a defeatist attitude but can’t be sure or what point or better option he has. I do hope we stay out of it. If we don’t then Isreal might not have a reason to stop then nor will Iran.
Did I mention cake? Sponge cake with whip cream and berrys layered goes pretty fast, especially if there’s kids around.
Ritter seems to have knowledge about nuclear reactors and inspection from what I read. Like buygold mentions what is the truth. I feel not that it means anything what I feel he seems truthful and sincere as he is permitted but I don’t know what to make of MacGregor sp?!
Buygold
According to Ritter Iran will not let up but will be wearing out Isreal who will then go to us using up our resources that leaves Taiwan in a precarious place with China if needed. They got a little too hubris again perhaps thinking they would back off like before of the US got involved but they’re not backing off but will have more on there side if needed. Now will affect shipping and other countries. They gave Isreal the choice to stop if they stop so will they. If they don’t it looks like they get what they did to Palestine . Just In case if I were in Europe I’d prepare best I could and take advantage of oil too while I could. If things happen be a disaster or war doesn’t the money come home first spiking prices?
Not that Europe will follow through with their threats to continue the war in Ukraine themselves but if they did consider it, it might make things more difficult with shipping cut off and now you say Putin said he’s going to take Ukraine. Good timing. That will probably be the only thing that will stop that war.
All’s normal in the markets
SM futures are now a little higher. Oil is now down. The dollar is popping but oddly isn’t taking pm’s down with it this am. Plat and Pall are up over 2%
Bitcoin up $700. Rates flat. PM shares slightly higher.
Of course, it’s super early still and PCE’s are out in a few hours. They could have an effect but the way inflation is trending, hard to see them negative for pm’s.
What a crazy world.
Wow, could what Ritter says be true?
Could Israel actually be losing the war?
Were the strikes a fabricated nothing burger? To what end?
That’s a lot to take in. Mostly because the propaganda from the US and Israel is off the charts.
Putin pretty much said over the weekend he was going to take all of Ukraine. Is that connected?
Looking for truth in a world full of liars.
goldie, yeah, it’s getting tricky, innit.
Trump hasn’t declared war on Iran. He’s simply attacked nuclear facilities. Iran has declared “death to America”. Iran, according to the IAEA, does not have a bomb, but has some pretty enriched uranium. Mrs Ferret does not have a sponge cake, but has flour, eggs, sugar etc and could whip one up in no time. Trump would be in big trouble if Iran smuggled a bomb into America and detonated it. After all, they’ve been promising death to America for decades.
Ferrett
So much for saving money when we have a war welfare system they could probably feed the whole US for a century.
Better gas up. Iran is voting to close the Hormuz.
