A quick swing in the CoT reports forecasts a near term gold pullback

July 11, 2019

Craig Hemke, Founder of TF Metals Report pays very close attention to the Commitment of Traders report for the metals. It was less than 1 year ago that we were talking about how the “dumb money”, specs, had moved short. This was a sign that gold was due to bounce – which it did. Now the specs are close to historic long level. We discuss this change in the CoT report and how the upcoming Fed meeting is driving the moves in gold.

      That’s merely a zerohedge advertisement.

      I only buy a couple of hundred oz of silver at a time, but I’m worried that it seems to take a longer time to arrive each time I order.
      I don’t like to order another batch until I get notice an order has shipped. Too many precious metal dealers in history have gone belly up. Buying from Tulving taught me that lesson.

          A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Fed Cut…

          Thu, 07/11/2019

          “How Powell will announce and justify a 25bps, or maybe even 50bps, rate cut in three weeks, well that’s his problem.”

          “But it’s not just the market. As JPM lists, since the dovish June FOMC meeting that raised the odds of any rate cut in July from 20% on June 18 to 100% on June 19 (and of a 50bp cut from 0% to 26%), the news flow has been “decisively better than feared”, to wit: ”

          – The G20 Summit delivered a truce keeping negotiations alive.
          – The concerning intermingling of immigration policies with the passage of the USMCA has faded and the odds of enacting the USMCA before year-end have increased (even if still at risk).
          – The US labor market bounced back from a weak May reading while weekly claims fell to their lows in mid-April.”
          – Lastly, the puzzling soft inflation readings from earlier in the year finally reversed in today’s June report, with core CPI rising by the second strongest monthly gain of the expansion.”

          “So with i) the market at all time highs, ii) unemployment at all time lows, iii) payrolls printing above the highest wall street forecast, iv) core inflation above 2.0% and in the range of 2.0 to 2.2% for 11 months in a row confirming that the Fed is right where it should be based on its real mandate, v) US and China trade war currently in a tentative truce the Fed’s next move is… to cut!!??”

    (ANX) (ANXGF) Anaconda Mining Achieves Exceptional Gold Recoveries from Feasibility Level Metalurgical Testing at the Goldboro Gold Project

    by @newswire on 9 Jul 2019

    – High overall gold recoveries from samples tested averaged 97% with a range from 87% to 99%, with a range of 8% to 97% recovered by the gravity circuit;

    – All tests showed low reagent consumption;

    – No deleterious elements were found within the Goldboro samples which contained approximately 3% sulphide minerals;

    – In more than 70% of the samples (5 out of 7), the calculated head grade exceeded the value returned from the samples’ metallic screen assays;

    – This testing confirmed that cyanide destruction and arsenic removal systems would achieve water quality that meets the Federal Environmental Code of Practice for Metal Mines and the Metal Mining Effluent Regulations (MMER) discharge criteria.

    Craig is only looking for high $1400 by 4th qtr. I think he’s being way too cautious. JMO

      Agree. This re-emerging Bull will leave many stranded and left out as I see/observe tremendous amount of skepticism. Looking for 1700-1750 (Technical measured move) by 2Q20 or, possibly before YE/19 (aggressive forecast).

      SD……ditto……..the bigger players are now in the market….
      And, if we look at the Global Gold ETF Flow data put out by the World Gold Council, June 2019 had the highest amount of inflows for the past seven years:

    My greatest reservation about President Trump has always been his inability to control spending.

    With a totally out-of-control Democrat herd, and an incompetent bunch of self-centered Republicans, the responsibility to control Government spending fell on the inept shoulders of Trump. He is a terrible failure in this regard.
    Were it not for unparalleled over-spending by most other countries on the globe, the dollar would be in a state of collapse already.
    As it is Powell seems intent on a rate cut in July and even a possible further one later this year to ensure inflation = (by definition) dollar weakness.
    The US debt is huge and growing by the day.

    That “sun” is sure a “rag”.

      The UK News of the World (if it’s still in business) is UK’s National Enquirer.
