Loading ...If the shares started to show signs of life in the last half of the day here.
Funny, I’ve been watching AG all day. Up 6% yesterday on better than average volume, down 3% today on what will also be better than average. Yet silver is up 3x what it was yesterday. Someone explain that to me.
No rhyme or reason behind any of this stuff.
Except Aladdin. ?
The games are so evident. Yet, here comes silver and it moves after the dollar comes back up to flat. Non-sensical. No complaints here but it’s pretty clear they used the bulk of their ammo to crush a market that should have runaway this morning. In doing so they kept the momentum players out of the game at a key time of the day, also shutting down interest in the shares.
It’s hard for me to see this changing as long as there’s a paper market.
Yes and they are at it again today, where even with the horrendous CPI headline numbers, PMs are just about negative – just wait – it will happen. (expect another large open interest build in Comex gold today)
And with tech and banks through the roof – who the hell needs PMs?
And then when stocks top sometime here in the first quarter – well – with the deflation – who the hell needs PMs?
They got all the bases covered until investors figure out the situation is out of their control now and start buying stupid cheap commodities again like in the early 2000’s.
The money printing and rate cuts (bringing negative real yields) will be epic in the next Fed panic.
It’s coming – bank on it.
Cheers
Yeah, I hope they don’t sell gold either. Course, I hope we actually have the gold.
Makes sense that they were selling all those contracts in gold yesterday, the action was pathetic.
Whatever, they are still just as hell bent on keeping pm’s down as they were 15 years ago. Nothing has changed.
…..like all of the CTA’s (Commodity Trading Advisors) who are retained by a lot of the hedge funds and wealthy clients; they get net “short” via futures, and then get squeezed ( partly because they’re short gamma, and have to cover their shorts as the markets go higher).
Markets can stay irrational for a lot longer that anyone thinks…..
Hopefully pm’s just have to weather a first hour storm and will get their footing. This action is non-sensical, even for pm’s.
Rates aren’t coming back up, just the dollar so far.
Somebody convince me that the CPI wasn’t leaked (or at least the reaction to it) 15 minutes before yesterday’s close, when the SM came screaming back and ended up on the day.
I guess they figured that since the shares were up yesterday, they could take it back today even if the metals go up.
Ipso – I hope so too. I hope he tells them he and Musk are going to lead the world out of their death grip. The financial system is a big hurdle though.
Here comes the dollar.
KGC first to go red. They will turn 300 HUI into the greatest resistance ever
BREAKING: Trump will address the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland in his first week as President! I hope he tells them about all the ways he’s going to destroy their globalist plans over the next 4 years
Core CPI came in at .2% MoM (below the 0.3% exp and taking attention away from headline numbers – now you know why they work so hard to keep oil prices contained) – which is close to the Fed’s target rate – hence Nasdaq futures up 300+ points on its way to new highs with Trump and his tech/crypto team coming into power next week.
So the CPI lie was leveraged this reporting to distract from the LA disaster and keep the commies looking good as they step out of the fire (pun intended).
The bankers were out in full force yesterday in keeping gold contained selling almost 22,000 futures contracts, with silver speculators a no show evidenced in the lethargic increase.
Metals Daily Exchange Volume & Open Interest – CME Group
Add to that increasing talk in favor of selling Fort Knox Gold (it will never happen – I hope – move to Russia if it does with a paltry debt to GDP ratio of only 20%) – the commies are out in full force to keep prices contained.

As you say – just another day in paradise (thank you Phil Collins).
A very good buying opportunity is coming in 2025.
Cheers all
10 yr. is down 12 bips right now, dollar down near 1/2%
Truthfully though, we are underperforming everything else and getting screwed as usual. Silver barely up 1% and gold up less than 1/2%
Bitcoin all the way back to $100K, QQQ’s up 2%, DOW up 1.5%
The same old B.S. as always. They will likely sell the open on a day when we should be screaming higher
2024 Registrations Of New Electric Cars Plummet 27.5% In Germany… “Petrol Dominates”
So, the market is celebrating this as being softer than expected, although I’m not exactly sure about there read.
M/M CPI was 0.4% vs. 0.3% estimates (hot)
Apparently, they are celebrating this
M/M CPI ex food & energy was 0.2% vs est. of 0.3%
Y/Y CPI – ex food & energy was 3.2% vs. est. of 3.3%
I’m not sure why that’s a win. I was paying $6.30 for 60 eggs a year ago at Walmart. Those same eggs today are almost $22
Regardless, give the Captain a tip of the hat. Looks like we’re in business going into the open.

Can of worms for sure. They should audit the Fed, but more importantly they should audit Fort Knox. I get the sense that Ron Paul is probably working with the DOGE boys and pushing for this behind the scenes. What if they find there is no gold? I wouldn’t think they’d make that public knowledge, there would be a huge run on the dollar and treasuries. The house of cards would come crumbling down.
In my mind, there’s no way that these guys aren’t aware of the whole fiat money scam and fractional reserve banking. I don’t understand why the Trump admin would want to sell any gold, I don’t understand how that would devalue the dollar. If they want to devalue, all they have to do is print more and start QE back up, but I think Powell and this Fed is going to be hostile to Trump at the behest of their globalist masters. The better move is to revalue the gold and back the currency with it before someone else does. Unfortunately, I don’t see anyone else doing that, even the BRICS. They don’t seem to be rushing toward that alternative.
The world is between a rock and a hard place when it comes to these fiat printing central banks controlling our currencies. How do you root them out without already having a system set-up to replace them with? I’d love to see them all arrested in the middle of the night and sent to Gitmo, I just don’t know how you transition into something else overnight.
Interesting start to the morning. Silver above $30 and gold bearing down on $2700 as the dollar is down against the Yen, but flat overall. More importantly, the 10 year is softer by 2 bips. Oil up a little, Bitcoin as well. PM shares are steady with GDX and GDXJ up around 1%.
None of this matters because in a little more than an hour the eco data kicks off with the CPI. PM’s will need soft numbers at best, in-line at worst. Any hot numbers will collapse everything IMHO.
Captain said he thought they’d be soft. I have no clue.
I’m pretty sure there’s another Fed meeting this month, so we have that to contend with as well.
That could open a very big can of worms……Oh and anyone thinking of buying that Gold, might want ask the Bundesbank, why they think it took the US over 3 years to just send some of their gold back…..and why it was all new bars……!!!!!
From the New York Sun

https://www.nysun.com/article/the-coming-raid-on-fort-knox
The news today is that the incoming Trump administration is hearing talk about selling the gold at Fort Knox. Our advice is to get on the phone right now and call Edwin Vieira, Jr., author of the definitive volume “Pieces of Eight.” That’s what we did last time we heard talk — it was in Congress — about selling the gold at Fort Knox. When he came to the phone we asked him, “Ed, do you think America should sell the gold in Fort Knox?”
“Don’t use the word ‘sell,'” Mr. Vieira exploded over the blower.
He was so alarmed we almost dropped the phone. Then we asked what was the problem.
He was so alarmed we almost dropped the phone. Then we asked what was the problem.
“You don’t sell gold,” Mr. Vieira said “You spend it.”
We got the point, but Mr. Vieira pressed it anyhow. “Don’t you see,” he boomed. “Gold is the money.”
The talk today of selling gold is part of a proposal to rectify the imbalances in global trade, like China’s record-high surplus. It is part of the president-elect’s America First policy. Among the more creative suggestions being floated was spotted by our Ira Stoll at The Editors. The idea, put forward some weeks ago by Trump’s pick to head the Council of Economic Advisers, Stephen Miran, is to deploy America’s gold reserves to devalue the dollar.
Gold reserves tend to bolster the value of currencies. Yet Mr. Miran sees selling gold — of which Uncle Sam holds some 260 million ounces — as a means to weaken, not strengthen, the dollar. “While many analysts believe there are no tools available to unilaterally address currency misvaluation, that is not true,” he writes. One way to do it, Mr. Miran says, is to “accumulate foreign exchange reserves,” boosting the value of other nations’ fiat currencies.
Here’s where gold factors in. “The Gold Reserve Act,” he writes, allows the Treasury “Secretary to sell gold” in the way “the Secretary considers most advantageous to the public interest.” Mr. Miran sees this as “providing additional potential funds for building foreign exchange reserves.” Note, though, the emphasis on the verb “sell,” the use of which reflects a misconception about the nature of money.
This point was marked in 2013 by a Sun editorial headlined “Speaking of Money.” The editorial was prompted by talk in the press about the “value” of gold. “To the ears of a copy editor of the Sun, this is like the screech of chalk pushed the wrong way on a blackboard,” we noted. That’s because, in the Sun’s stylebook, “the value of gold is, in practical terms, constant.” More noteworthy is “the value of the dollar. That’s what does all the changing.”
So the Sun does not refer to “the price of gold” but the “value of the dollar,” which, incidentally, stands at less than a 2,600th of an ounce in today’s trading. Gold, not the dollar, “is the measure of value.” Plus, too, when it comes to gold, the Sun eschews using the verb “to sell.” That’s in contrast to the idea that “gold is a commodity’ or an ‘asset,'” we noted. “This fits fine in an era of fiat money.” Hence Mr. Vieira’s brilliant point.
Which brings us back to Mr. Miran’s proposal to devalue the dollar by “selling” gold. He concedes it “could be politically costly,” even if it would “result in income” for Uncle Sam. Mr. Stoll reckons that the “problem” with Mr. Miran’s idea is that even if politicians “try to fix prices, there are free-market signals, such as the price of the dollar against gold, Bitcoin, groceries, or real estate, that eventually provide a true indication of a dollar’s value.”
Mr. Miran sees “a reduction in the value of the dollar” as helping “create manufacturing jobs in America” as it “reallocates aggregate demand from the rest of the world to the U.S.” Mr. Stoll replies that if Americans “get the idea that their dollars will be worth less” due to Trump’s moves, “there’s a risk that they will move money out of dollars and into other assets.” Inflation would ensue. Mr. Stoll calls it “a costly policy, in whatever units it is measured.”
Yes I remember him.
Those were the good old days.
No crypto crap to compete with.
Very close to a lasting top and shaving of the crypto creeps soon.
Then it will be back to business.
Gold and silver have been money since the beginning of “modern man”.
And no “modern” hare-brained bankers are ever going to change that.
Cheers all
Wherever you are Equis old friend, I hope you are happy, healthy, and thriving. If you can, please stick your head in the tent and say hello…and I hope you still have your box of rocks. SNG
I’m pretty sure I’ve got some. For a long time. I’d have to log in to Fidelity or Schwab to be sure. I don’t think I want to know how much I paid for it. Like so many of my others.
Don’t know about him currently, but will mention he was the first person to say, “Hello” and welcome me to the old Gold Eagle forum in about 2003. Hope he is alive and well.
