Surprisingly, We’re holding up pretty well, although there’s still 20 minutes left.

Well if it doesn’t watch out.
Here’s the real test
The SM is giving up the goose. Can we hold gains with the SM down?
At some point we’ll have to.
Bitcoin continues it’s slide
Threatening to break below $87K. A little surprising given that almost everything else is in rally mode.
Rates have come back to flat, as has the dollar. Seems both may continue to slide for a while.
Shares are doing pretty well despite gold still being flat. Wondering if that test of yesterday’s bottom in gold will be good enough to launch us back into rally mode. Sure hope so, because we haven’t even had a real rally in these shares yet.
HUI back above 320
Hopefully it stays above. GLD finally sneaks positive.
Course they are squeezing the craps out of tech shorts, so it’s ok if we go up in that scenario.
We have to break free from the SM at some point.

That $300 billion looks like total not increased defense spending? I don’t like the deficit spending much myself. I guess we’ll just have to see what the inflation rate is in a year or two.

“The House’s plan would set up a massive reconciliation bill that would extend Trump’s 2017 tax cuts and implement new ones at a cost of $4.5 trillion. It would also allocate $300 billion for spending on defense and border security, would raise the debt ceiling by $4 trillion over two years, and add almost $3 trillion to the federal deficit over 10 years.”
PS This article says our total defense spending is about $900 billion. So I guess this $300 billion must be an increase.

Hey ipso … guess how much they gave the commies?
$300 billion increased defense spending.

So, all the insignificant cuts DOGE and da boyz are using to distract and obfuscate were wiped out by the international banker/neocons.

Yeah, I’d like to see gold reverse completely and be up on the day, which it has yet to do. There are some positives in the shares, especially the silver shares – WPM just made a 52 week high for example, strength in the two dogs AG & EXK.
A lot of the damage of the last week has been to select large caps like NEM, KGC and the juniors, especially the sub $1 stocks.
We’ll see if gold can right the ship

Seems to be a lot of people still voting for the left and I guess for more immigration. Could be either some fireworks there or the German people just lay down and become the minority in their own country. Sad and almost unbelievable situation.
I didn’t know that about Maggie. Kind of funny that the E. side votes AFD now!
Morning buygold
re reversal…..could be…A there is a huge buyer around…so why still try to smash it…very odd. B, as long as prices stay somewhere near here for Gold, the Mines will make out big time…so they should not fall apart as soon as Au drops 20 cents. !!!
How much did we give them?
DOGE has blocked a payment of $52 million to the World Economic Forum.
Morning deer79
I think they’re going to reverse this. Just a hunch based on how the shares are acting.
OTOH, don’t follow me, I’m lost! ?

The Germans must be so pissed off……which if any of the clowns doing the pissing off, had a brain, would realise…..is not a smart thing to do….and if anyone says, well the place is different now, tks to all the gimmiegrants..they did create a solution last time, they had some unwanted guests. !!!!!
Interestingly Maggie was dead set against uniting Germany after the Wall came down……simply because of how powerfull and dangerous a united Germany could be !!!!

Now that the US and Russia are going to be buddies, Putin will be able to get around hardliners, at least as it pertains to Ukraine for now, giving the commies a lasting beachhead in the region. The commies (international bankers) will use this obfuscation to work their way into the area, taking advantage of any and all opportunities possible to supplant Russian interests, with the goal of eventually colonizing the entire region – Russia included.
I wonder if the Russians know what Vlad is up to.
Cheers all

SM trying to bounce
Doesn’t look like we’ll benefit from that just yet. Dollar up, maybe that matters today. Rates too.
What looked to be the beginning of a big sell off in the SM seems to be more like just letting some air out. No real stampede toward the exits other than in the pm shares.

SLV, QQQ, $HUI
Here’s a performance chart. SLV & HUI track perfectly. Looks like SLV tracks QQQ about 75-80% of the time but the correlation is not nearly as clear.
Anyone have a clue what’s next?
Yesterday was the first day we’ve seen a real downdraft in the metals. The HUI is down 20 points in the last 4 days, without a doubt forecasting yesterday’s move. Yet even with all the selling, gold still managed to hold $2900. Silver is simply impossible to predict, although it has dropped around $1.50 since reversing down from $33 and change over the same period. There are no support levels for silver that can’t be broken.
What are we looking at then? The shares have always tracked silver better than gold. Are the shares indicating that silver has more room to fall or vice versa? If the shares stop falling, does that mean silver has bottomed and will resume it slow ascent? (Very slow, BTW)
What a sector.
