    LONDON (AP) — An American billionaire has given Oxford University 150 million pounds ($188.6 million) for a new institute that will study the ethical implications of artificial intelligence and its vast potential to change society as we know it.
    The donation from Stephen Schwarzman, CEO of the private equity firm Blackstone, will also fund a center to house all of the university’s humanities subjects in a single space to encourage collaborative study. The idea is to bring together those working on projects that make life worth living with those trying to make sure that the technology of the future works for the interest of society.
    “AI can be an enormous force for good,” Schwarzman told The Associated Press. “But on the downside it can lead to high unemployment. It could destabilize society if it happens too fast.”
    Schwarzman compared the rise of AI to the rise of the internet, which was launched by computer scientists who thought it was fun and interesting. But the scientists didn’t adequately consider the downsides of the internet, such as the inability to control cyberbullying or fake news — and the implications of that on democracy.

      Ive often thought if the narrative of rate cuts could be the catalyst needed for gold to pierce and hold this strong resisitance area. We will find out by weeks end. A promising move at this stage, but once bitten twice shy as they say…

    The gold train just left the station and is headed for the Emerald City.

        Jun 20, 2019 20:43 AM

        Hate to be pessimistic but im still a little cautious here at the moment. An impressive move nonetheless, I would like to see gold post consecutive higher closes to finish the week at or above the $1360-$1380 resistance region. Then ideally we would see some follow through buying on Monday. Interesting times!

          Jun 20, 2019 20:47 AM

          Ozibatla, I concur that it is important to see a price for Gold above the 2016 high of $1377.50 on a closing basis, at least on a daily, but preferably on the weekly candle.

          However, after an epic overnight trading session, in under an hour from the open, Gold is still holding onto those overnight gains at $1385.

          https://www.bloomberg.com/quote/GC1:COM

          A close above $1377.50 (or really a close above $1362 from 2017 or $1369 or 2018) put’s an end to the “lower highs” narrative that some technicians have been trying to use as their bearish case thesis.

          This never made any sense as it negated that 2018’s high at $1369 was higher than 2017’s high at $1362. In addition, those “technicians” were counting highs from before Gold bottomed in Dec 2015, which is what marked the start of the new bull market.

          It is fairly clear, unless there is a Gold whack at the open, that this is the next impulse leg higher of the bull market in Gold that started in Dec 2015.

          The miners took until Jan 19th 2016 to get on the move, so maybe they’ll get the memo soon.

            Jun 20, 2019 20:27 PM

            True Ex. Well gold has done what I wanted it to do so far. One more trading day to go for the week. Things looking good so far. Fingers crossed, cautiously

            Jun 20, 2019 20:39 PM

            Yes, I’ll join you in a cautious finger-crossing, but there was a solid daily close today over prior peaks, so that is very constructive.

            In after hours trading Gold is at $1398 so that is also quite bullish. It looks like it is going to be a solid close to the week.

          Jun 20, 2019 20:50 AM

          Did you guys notice that after gold broke out and went into the 1390s, it never pulled back to go below the 2016 high of 1377? It has been about 12 hours yet a $40 overnight (for U.S.) move has not resulted in any significant retracement. This would be unusual even if it had been just a $10 move. I don’t think I’ve ever seen this kind of action before. Gold normally falls into the U.S. open after going up during the night.

          If it does soon stumble, I’m still confident about my $1500+ and then higher. The writing is on the wall.

            Jun 20, 2019 20:54 AM

            Yes,……….I said earlier,

            Jun 20, 2019 20:00 AM

            The lack of a pullback into this morning’s open is what really stands out. To stay above the important 2016 high on top of that is something else.

            Jun 20, 2019 20:01 AM

            I agree……I was just going to confirm….you are spot on….

            Jun 20, 2019 20:31 AM

            Did someone kidnap all those “cartel” members?? Seems like they are AWOL. . .or maybe readying a surprise counter-attack to slam gold back down when it’s least expected. How can a breakout be at hand when gold is manipulated/suppressed???

            Jun 20, 2019 20:35 AM

            Maybe , they are out of toilet paper, and had to use the paper gold……… 🙂

            Jun 20, 2019 20:12 AM

            Great thread here and funny as well. You guys are great.

            Mr T – great point, where are those cartels of manipulators lately? The must be on strike 😉

            Yes, Matthew, I think it is very significant that Gold didn’t get wacked in the pre-market trading, and has held up above the 2016 high of $1377 so far today, but at least the market opened above that level, which is important for forming the daily candle, and at least the wick of the weekly candle. If gold can close here are higher on the week tomorrow, it would be very constructive.

            Jun 20, 2019 20:15 AM

            Ex, it will be huge if it closes the week here. Watch the dollar/UUP:

            Jun 20, 2019 20:22 AM

            Thanks for that dollar chart Matthew. It looks like UUP has double-topped.

            Yes, if the dollar pulls back down some, that will only accelerate this move.

            Jun 20, 2019 20:26 AM

            Fwiw, gold is now dealing with monthly Bollinger band resistance (1385-ish). A large melt-up could ensue.

            Jun 20, 2019 20:33 AM

            1381 happens to represent a 38.2% Fib retracement of the entire bear market (from 1923 to 1045). So we’ve got some important action going on.

            Speaking of manipulation.

            JP Morgan has amassed the largest hoard of silver ever known.
            Havnt seen it myself but thats the rumor.

            JP could be ready to let prices rise as they make big money, or, they could dump it all fast driving the price down.

            Personally I think gold continues to rise as long as the states continues being….themselves, if XI or Putin talk sense into them, gold should come down again.

            BMO has said as much, but they are part of the evil banksters so believe them as you will I guess.

            Jun 20, 2019 20:19 AM

            Jun 20, 2019 20:48 AM

            The strength in $Gold so far has been quite impressive.

            The yellow metal opened above the 2016 surge high of $1377.50, confirming the next impulse leg higher for the Gold bull market that started after the Dec 2015 low at $1045.40, (and so far has stayed above it without back-testing that level yet).

            In addition, Gold is currently above an old prior peak from 2014 at $1392.60.

    Silver; Multi-Year Bull Market Getting Started?

    Per Zerohedge, it sounds like after hours Powell became much more dovish. Must of been the crash in long term yields that got his attention. Ready for the rocket ride this morning. It is going to be fun.

    Jun 20, 2019 20:15 AM

    Matthew – Regarding your comment about silver outperforming gold above, I believe in 2016 Silver really didn’t get going until about 30 days after gold if my memory serves me correctly. Impact for example looks like it might go sideways until early-mid July. This time it seems Silver might not take that long especially if gold takes off. Thanks for any thoughts (and/or) charts as to when you think it might happen. Of course every silver stock chart is different.

    Jun 20, 2019 20:40 AM

    This is all happening with a significant number of shorts trapped adding fuel to the fire.

      Jun 20, 2019 20:45 AM

      Exactly. As mentioned above, I have never seen gold hang onto such overnight gains so well.

        Jun 20, 2019 20:06 AM

        To Matthew. I think this Iran conflict slightly escalating helped keep gold up over night.

        I’m also really curious what the CoT report is going to look like. Too bad we have to wait a week

          Jun 20, 2019 20:31 AM

          That’s possible but I’ve never seen geopolitical tensions result such sustained strength.
          I know the financial media wants us to think it’s the cause of gold’s rise but there is way too much fundamental/technical support for what’s happening for me to put much into that view. Now if the move completely falls apart and we do not get a bull market, it will mean that I was wrong. Purely geopolitical “pops” never last.

            Jun 20, 2019 20:33 AM

            The Fed’s policies have finally put the Fed in a position where there’s not much they can do with respect to hiding what they’ve done.

            Jun 20, 2019 20:23 AM

            Btw, gold already very bullish Point and Figure chart price objectives well before the recent escalation with Iran.

          Jun 20, 2019 20:37 AM

          The CoT will probably look terrible from a historical standpoint but we don’t know how much open interest will expand this time. Growing open interest is a feature of strong bull markets.

        Jun 20, 2019 20:34 PM

        I was just thinking the same thing Matthew. Hopefully gold and silver can build on this breakout to close the week.

          Jun 20, 2019 20:47 PM

          That’s what we need and I do think we’ll get it.

          Jun 20, 2019 20:33 PM

          Its interesting because if gold can gain a solid foothold above this often mentioned resistance area and then break into the $1400 region, it would appear to be smooth sailing until perhaps the 2013 collapse price area around $1500? Of course, we all know its never quite that simple. Short term sentiment suggests many may take some profits off the table in the interim.

            Jun 20, 2019 20:40 PM

            Oops, as I say this, gold has pierced the 1400 handle. Lets see what happens here for the final day of the week.

            Jun 20, 2019 20:01 PM

            You’re right, it’s never quite that simple but I can’t stress enough how supportive the monthly and quarterly charts are of such a move to $1500 (in addition to the weekly chart, of course).

      Jun 20, 2019 20:01 AM

      Good point on the shorts……..

    Jun 21, 2019 21:43 AM

    And the inevitable sell-off arrives
    … To be expected mind you

      Jun 21, 2019 21:48 AM

      This selloff was the usual kind that happens going into the U.S. open. It still didn’t go below the 2016 high so even the short term technical picture is intact.
