Welcome!

Is oil about to breakout above $50/barrel?

Cory
October 3, 2016

In today’s market wrap we focus on the recent moves in oil. On the heals of the recent production cut (albeit a small one) oil continues to move higher. The question will be in the next couple days if this run can takeout the $50/barrel level…

            thx jerry

            td is one of the banks i have accounts with.
            my broker webbroker as well.

            thats a huge risk for investors that doesnt get mentioned (too scary maybe)

            What dif does winning make when you cant collect?
            silly to have more with a broker than you can throw away without concern.

      The US Fiscal budget year is over.
      The economy is doing according to the big liar in the White House.
      The numbers are in, so what do you think the US deficit was for fiscal 2016?

      The national debt – after having been successfully disappeared from public discussion – has jumped by $1.38 trillion in fiscal 2016, which ended Friday.

      So no mater what numbers are reported, spun, or talked about, my belief is the ACTUAL deficit was $1.38 Trillion.

      Of course, Bill Clinton has always claimed he balanced the budget.
      Whereas, in fact, the National debt increased in every year of his reign.
      And, of course, back then the Republicans were not so cur runt and Newt Gingrich kept on leading “reductions” of spending.
      (Nothing actually y went down…..just less than originally projected)
      We seriously need zero base budgeting.

            The point really was about the economy under the big zero not being great, and certainly no where near a great as he claims.

    Russia Kills 30 US, Israeli, British Officers Believed To Be Assisting ISIS

    by Whitney Webb, The Activist Post:

    As part of an ongoing offensive against militant-held sectors of Aleppo, Russian warships hit a military operations center near the city, killing 30 Israeli, US, Saudi, and British officers who were allegedly offering support and intelligence to ISIS militants in Syria. The strike came following a failed ceasefire in the embattled country, which was ultimately derailed after being violated multiple times by US-backed militant groups, the US, and Israel.

    One thing that happened to a convenient way of measuring interest rates vs. inflation is that Pring’s Inflation Index dropped -30% one day, rendering the index useless in attempting to forecast any rise or drop in the gold price comparing it with the $TNX. If you discount the 30% drop, gold prices should stay where they are. There was no measurable change in commodities stocks to justify a change in !PRII to this extent.

    Stockcharts.com is not replying to my complaints on this particular skew in the data.

    http://schrts.co/PGVRJp

      Oct 03, 2016 03:01 PM

      I was thinking that you could probably instead of using oil stocks, to use a single bellwether stock for inflation, FNV against the $TNX, much like Pring’s index, now that index is out of order:

      http://schrts.co/w6gW3F

        Oct 03, 2016 03:15 PM

        Suddenly this chart makes good sense in the weekly format, not as dramatically good as the TNX/PRII,but a functional substitute. The $U.S. is the missing variable, of course:

        http://schrts.co/4XWf4R

          Oct 03, 2016 03:38 PM

          That is a great chart, I think I’ll keep it.
          I had been looking at the TNX:PRII chart ever since you first posted it last year.
          Thanks.

            Oct 03, 2016 03:03 PM

            No way to fudge FNV.

    How Big Oil Conquered the World

    From farm to pharmaceutical, diesel truck to dinner plate, pipeline to plastic product, it is impossible to think of an area of our modern-day lives that is not affected by the oil industry. The story of oil is the story of the modern world. And this is the story of those who helped shape that world, and how the oil-igarchy they created is on the verge of monopolizing life itself.

    WOW! – Precious Metals stocks are getting the stuffing beat out of em’ this morning…

    I’ve been buying like a madman this morning as everything goes on clearance sale, and it is on days like this that I wish I had even more dry powder to deploy.

    Gold at $1285 and Silver at $18.32 seems like a good place to start buying the dip with conviction. If they sink lower over the balance of this week, pulling down the miners even lower, then I’m going to kick out my last dry powder.

    Investors that missed the initial bull run in 2016 and don’t have any positions in miners should at least start a position in the companies they like in these kinds of market conditions.

    If the miners completely fall out of bed in October, then add even more into the weakness.

        Notice that some of the top performing companies that rose the most at the beginning of the year are also the same ones selling off the hardest at present. Silver is more volatile than Gold, and thus the Jr Silver miners are a wild ride to the upside and downside. Make a note of some of the highest torque companies to the downside on days like this, as when things turn back up later in the month, they’ll have similar moves to the upside.

            Bloomberg is reporting that the National Iranian Oil Co. agreed to the framework of a $2.2 billion deal with Persia Oil & Gas Industry Development Co. to boost output at three fields along the country’s western border with Iraq, Oil Minister Bijan Namdar Zanganeh said during a ceremony at the ministry. Zanganeh has said the new type of contract, designed to better reward investment in crude and natural gas production, is crucial to increasing the country’s long-term export potential. Although it may take years for new investment deals to bear fruit. President Hassan Rouhani’s government has argued that it should be allowed to return production to levels achieved before international sanctions curbed shipments according to Bloomberg. So it will be easy for Iran to say it will do whatever it takes because they will not have to do much. But from a larger perspective it does not change the fact that this OPEC deal will put pressure on Iran to cap production at pre-sanctions levels or risk starting a new production war.
            My earlier estimates had oil going up to possibly $60, but now it looks like it might stall around $50. Then manufacturers of deep sea rigs announce an order backlog of over $4 billion. It is hard to keep track of all the fundamental data, as well as price-volume dynamics.

    Still an on going bull market. Per Gary

      Oct 04, 2016 04:57 AM

      I agree with him. Do not panic. I actually prefer to see this three month correction end with some “shock and awe” as it rids the market of the weakest hands much better than a slow grind can.

      It is a good/bullish sign that my portfolio of juniors is down less than half as much as GDXJ today and on very low volume.

          Silver is sub $18 again, so probably not a bad idea.

        Oct 04, 2016 04:38 AM

        Agreed that the shock and awe will exhaust sellers, and is preferred over the slow grind.

        My account had it’s fair share of red today like most, but also did a little shopping and added to positions I trimmed back in the summer. I’m moving funds around to be able to capitalize on this corrective move throughout the remainder of October and need a few days before everything settles anyway. Really I’d like the correction to go on just a little bit longer this week and next, so that I can get fully positioned before the next leg up.

          One of my favourite silverminer miner is holding up very well!! Go Brixton Metals😄

            Yes, BBB looks quite good and strong. Congratulations to you and Brian. 🙂

            Oct 04, 2016 04:18 AM

            Hey Blue – Yes, I am also a big fan of Brixton Metals as well but it is down over 10% today, so I wouldn’t call that holding up well…. It has more torque to the upside and downside, like Americas Silver corp or Impact or Avino that were all down over 10% today as well. That just means that when things turn back up, that they’ll have more leverage to the upside as well. I’m starting to add to positions while they are on clearance sale.

            Oct 04, 2016 04:22 AM

            In the larger scheme of things Brixton is doing just fine though, and I’ve been banging on the Brixton drum most of this year, because I still don’t believe most people are following it as closely as they should be.

            Cheers!

            Oct 04, 2016 04:23 AM

            I posted this a few days ago, but while we are on the topic, this land that Brixton acquired from Agnico Eagle bodes well for the future:

            Oct 04, 2016 04:33 AM

            Blue – I just looked at the Canadian $BBB ticker for Brixton and it is only down 2.78% so it wasn’t as dramatic as the OTC $BXTMF that is now down 12.15% today.

            Hopefully the OTC will snap back later this week as this was likely just a liquidity trap for investors that wanted to sell everything today. I’m a little more encouraged now that I switched over to look at the Canadian tickers in some of these Silver stocks, as they were not as dramatic.

            Oct 04, 2016 04:41 AM

            Yes, it’s the Canadian listing that counts. Not only that, it is also holding up well based on the overall look of the chart. It remains above important MAs and is strong based on other aspects as well.

            Oct 04, 2016 04:54 AM

            Yes in the overall picture Brixton is holding up quite well.

            I spoke too soon though about today, as now BBB is down twice as much:

            Brixton Metals Corporation (BBB.V)
            $0.67 down -$0.05 (-6.94% loss)
            As of 1:28 PM EDT. Market is still open.

            Oct 04, 2016 04:20 AM

            It was inevitable as there is always someone who will rebalance or tap the relative winners in order to buy the bargains.

            It is again down just 2.78% while GDXJ is down 9.67%.

            Oct 04, 2016 04:20 AM

            Make that 9.94%

            Oct 04, 2016 04:44 AM

            Great point on comparing the miners to GDXJ. Brixton (BBB) is actually still down near – 7%, and Americas Silver (USA) – 7.5%, but the ETF (GDXJ) is down over 10% now.

            Oct 04, 2016 04:25 PM

            Brixton was 2.785 at the time of my last post but finished the session down 8.33%.
            GDXJ finished down 10.06%

            Meanwhile, SGN, GG, and CEM finished flat. 🙂

      Why do you think much lower Paul L.? i´m thinking 22.

        Oct 04, 2016 04:04 AM

        Stewart Thomson agrees with you but I think even the 23 area might hold. Having an eight to ten percent decline today really helps to exhaust sellers because such action causes a “sell now, ask questions later” response. So, paradoxically, it can limit the downside follow-through.

        $22.09 happens to be the 50% retracement level:

        http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=GDX&p=W&yr=3&mn=9&dy=0&id=p43137623992&a=480292154

          Oct 04, 2016 04:05 AM
