The war might end in a week or maybe a year. The world is in a precarious place, economically and militarily.
It looked like in the Iranian proposal they were willing to give up some of their enriched uranium … to someone else but not to us. I guess that’s progress.
Trump and the Mullahs both think they’re the one winning. It’s like in poker when two players each have really good hands they keep raising the stakes.
Convexity
Sounds reasonable. 😳
All that convexity seemed to show up between 8 – 9 am EST today. Not often do we see moves like that to the upside. I don’t know if a note from a bank came out and someone just went all-in at once or someone puked. Either way, let’s hope they keep it going!

Silver rally is about Convexity…..me neither……though there maybe a silver AI link developing

Ipso – I don’t know what he’ll say to Xi. He probably should ask him to pressure Iran to open the strait, because Xi needs that strait open too. I think his ego is too big to do that though. Trump needs an out IMHO. If he could have just waited a couple years while we got our own house in order, it would’ve been much better. What a mess.
deer79 – I hope my enthusiasm is warranted. I’m stunned by the move in silver. There has to be a reason behind it, or at least why shorts just threw in the towel seemingly all at once after sitting on us for 3 months.
Will they be able to handcuff gold today?
or is silver too strong for them to do it?
Gold shares still performing pretty well, so I’m kind of hoping for a bit of a gold rally before or into the close.
The YouTube silver commentators are going to be screaming tonight.
European 2 yr and 5yr notes up 2 to 2.5 % across the board……not looking good at all.
Note the Bull flag on this monthly chart…..if we break out rates are rising big time…..the very last thing Europe needs.
Martin Armstrong says gas in the US could hit $9 a gallon
Armstrong says this Iran war will last the rest of 2026, and gasoline prices in the US could hit $9 a gallon. Armstrong says, “We are at a point where governments collapse. . .. What we are facing is a sovereign debt crisis globally. International debt reached $353 trillion last month. It doesn’t stop. They don’t pay off debt. They just roll it over. This will come to a crisis because interest payments keep rising. Our interest expenditure exceeds military.”

can anything drop as fast as BJ Clintoon’s boxers ??????
gold/silver ratio…
…dropping faster than Clinton’s boxers in an Arkansas trailer park.

Yeah this war is a real wild card. Iran doesn’t seem to want to back down at all. I wonder what Xi is going to tell Trump? Too bad you listened to Bibi, Trump!
Silver was up $5. The first time I bought silver it was at $5 an oz, total price. Print Print Print
Buygold
Love your enthusiasm! Heavens knows we need more of that after so many years living in the precious metals Matrix.
First attack
Working over gold to quell silver. If something has broken it won’t work for long.
Going to take a lot of paper to bring the silver price back down.
Ipso – maybe that’s all this really is, a breakout and acceleration of a huge commodity bull. Great for us, not for inflation though. This war is going to turn out to be one of the most ruinous things we’ve ever done to the country. He’s in it now and has no way to get out quickly. The damage to our economy and the world’s is already setting in. Better pray the dollar doesn’t lose reserve status.

It’s Official:
Alberta will vote on Independence after years of abuse from the rest of Canada.
If it succeeds, it’s 80% odds Alberta applies to join the US.

Wot a day … down early on war talk and now we’re flying! I can’t explain it but I accept it. 🙂
Too bad that Mojtaba Khamenei
was wounded in the early days of the war. This may make it much harder for him to come to an agreement. He’s got a big grudge and that intferferes with his judgement.
You folks need to wake up!
Wipe the sleep out of your eyes and smell the coffee!
Something just broke in the silver market and the silver shares are on fire!🔥
Is the war over? Did the silver market just break??
Holy moly. Not sure who could have predicted silver would be up $4.50 on a Monday morning.
SM not rallying, dollar not down much, rates up slightly, oil up a couple bucks.
Beginning of the great commodities bull?
The only metal lagging is gold, but it’s turned from down $50.
Can’t wait to find out what has happened.
Now that’s weird
Silver is flat, even with gold down $42 and plat and pall down 1%
OTOH, the SM is flat too.

Fascism still alive and well. Now they’re medical professionals too.
What puppets with or without a degree will do for money. Hope the farmers openly object put it on camera like them and make them responsible for any harm. Where’s the warrants? They need to vote these fascist out before they can’t vote anymore. I wonder if they get some kind of stipend there that makes them docile to fascism.
