After a slow week for the markets we are all in for a central bank, trade talk, and data heavy week ahead.

This weekend’s show has a full 2 hours of economic and investing commentary. The first hour we look at major markets and global issues that are driving the financial markets while the second hour is all about resources. And yes, we have a segment focused on Uranium!

I will be on a site visit leaving Monday afternoon so posting will be light until Thursday. Please keep in touch through email by emailing me at Fleck@kereport.com.

  • Segment 1: I kick off the show with Axel Merk. Axel shares why he thinks the market is under-pricing upcoming Fed rate hikes and how you can profit from this.
  • Segment 2: With tech and small caps continuing to lead the markets Dana Lyons assesses whether these sectors will head higher.
  • Segment 3: Did you know that if we measure inflation the same way as in the 90s it would be running at 10%? Jesse Felder explains.
  • Segment 4: Chris Martenson wraps up the first hour with a look globally at Europe, Emerging Markets, and China.
  • Segment 5: With the second hour focused on resources Jeff Christian details the push and pull factors keeping gold and silver in tight trading ranges.
  • Segment 6: Awale Resources had some big sell orders hit the market this week. I chat with the President and CEO Glen Parsons about how the drill program is progressing.
  • Segment 7: Byron King shares some companies that are advancing their stories while the markets continues to be slow.
  • Segment 8: We wrap up this week’s show with Chris Temple and a focus on the uranium sector.

      Hey Jerry,

      Speaking of the MICC what do you thin our good friend McKinney would say about this?

      U.S. gives Humvees to Afghan army, then blows them up when they fall into Taliban hands
      “The statistics highlight a recurring problem: Taliban fighters have frequently attacked Afghan government outposts throughout the country, capturing weapons and U.S.-supplied equipment, then disappearing into the countryside.”

      https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2018/06/06/united-states-warplanes-humvees-taliban/673798002/

      I’m sure, oh, this is just an outlier…the exception not the rule…nothing to see here folks, just move along now.

        Jun 09, 2018 09:31 PM

        Hello EBO…………….
        Sorry for the delay , I just got back….
        WAR IS A RACKET……..the best quote anyone could say on the subject of MICC….
        People really have to be retarded not to see the game……that is my answer.
        Of course you need guys like McKinney to add a little respect for the total corruption Rothschild cabal has played on humanity…….McK is just a pawns in the game.
        Funny what a uniform does to the mind….A few bars and strips and everyone is a hero.
        It was more difficult to see a few years ago, but, everything is available for those
        who want the truth…

          Hey Jerry, check this out by Daniel McAdams. Very interesting but very disturbing. And it didn’t end on a particularly encouraging note.

      And here’s a retired lieutenant colonel calling for an end to this non-sense that is bankrupting the country. The corrupt MICC pours trillions down the toilets of Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Syria…the list is endless while the infrastructure here falls apart. Hell, despite numerous tax increase supposedly to fix the roads where I live you can’t drive on the roads without damaging your vehicle. Gooberment is the biggest rip-off there is.

    Gold Summer Doldrums 2
    Adam Hamilton – Jun 08, 2018

    “Early summer is the weakest time of the year seasonally for gold, silver, and their miners’ stocks. With traders’ attention diverted to vacations and summer fun, their precious-metals interest and investment demand wane considerably. Thus this entire sector, and often the markets in general, suffer a seasonal lull this time of year. But these summer doldrums offer the best seasonal buying opportunities of the year.”

    Something Big Is About To Happen With Gold, And It’s Not What You Think:Jim Willie

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFFsfNlxYYI

    Jun 09, 2018 09:09 PM

    It is odd how in the end uranium gate has proved to not be a scandal anymore because uranium investing is dead, insitu leaching has killed the uranium market for investors. All that cash and all The Clinton’s rascality has come to be a finis, bring the bugles out and bury the uranium market. So many investors failed to see how AI has supplanted this segment of mining and will kill off other prospective mining endeavors. DT

      Jun 09, 2018 09:13 PM

      It is true that Kazakhstan Insitu miners have really changed the Uraniummarket the last 5-7 years, but that was coupled with a terrible pricing bear market that has taken most of the hard rock miners down for the count. The US insitu miners like Ur-Energy, Penisula Energy, and the division of Energy Fuels that used to be Uranerz are still very low cost, but not as low as spot has been the last 2 years.

      Uranium double bottomed in the $17-$18 range from late 2016 through mid 2017, and most of the mining stocks followed suit. We mentioned on here at that time that it was extremely unlikely to ever get that low again, and that like the PMs, even though they weren’t really breaking out, that they were not going to return to those levels.

      It is interesting that now promoters and newsletter writers like Marin Katusa and other smaller scale newsletter writers have decided now that this recent Kazakh cut and the IPO of Yellow Cake its the bottom (about a year after the pricing in the spot and the miners actually bottomed). There were already stocks that put in 50-100% rallies, but I get that they want a “catalyst” as to why the Uranium stocks have bottomed. {technically the last round of Kazakh cuts and the shut down of Cameco’s mines and the bankruptcy of Paladin last year were those catalysts, but hey, who’s keeping score?}

      It would be like Gold taking off above $1377.50 later this year and people coming out and proclaiming that Gold and the PM miners had “BOTTOMED” now in 2018 (even though the Gold low was clearly in late 2015 and the miners clearly bottomed in Jan 2016).

      Oh well, the masses are typically much later to the party and want to be sure that they are sure that they are sure….. before they call the bottom (long after massive gains and multiple swing trade rallies have already played out). Tragic comedy.

        Jun 09, 2018 09:24 PM

        DT – to your point, the Insitu Miners will likely lead the charge higher since their economics are generally better and have revenues that start in the $30’s and $40’s all in, versus hardrock miners that most need $50’s+ to be profitable all-in.

        Companies like Ur-Energy (URG) (URE) and Energy Fuels (UUUU) (EFR) and Peninsula Energy (PEN.AX) (PENMF) and insitu Uranium developers like Uranium Energy Corp (UEC) and Anflield Energy (AEC) (ANLDF) will have nice upside leverage to rising prices.

        I’m still not sure if all the effects from the URA rebalancing have played out though as they are liquidating shares in all those companies, along with many explorers in the Athabasca Basis in Canada, to add in a bunch of unrelated manufacturers, as well as Gold, Base Metals, and Lithium companies (which makes absolutely no sense).

        It may be that investors are all bulled up again on Uranium, based on the number of comments & articles all over the internet, and the increase in volumes recently, but I’m still waiting for the rebalance to be finished in July before adding more to the positions I already have in place. Granted, if a bunch of investors get all jacked up on Mountain Dew about a new Uranium bull, then that will provide so much liquidity that the rebalance sales of the Uranium miners out of URA won’t really matter, but that remains to be seen….

          Jun 09, 2018 09:27 PM

          It is just eerily reminiscent of the GDXJ rebalancing last year in 2017 and how it dragged so many miners down for a while even while sentiment was improving in early 2017 right before that. Once all this plays through over the next month or 2 though, the investors that are positioning here (or better that started positioning last year when the real bottom was actually playing out when Uranium was down in the $17-$18 level) will be set up for massive gains in a rising tide environment.

          Good luck to all in their trading.

            “Concerns about the potential risks to the Swiss economy by introducing a “vollgeld” or “real money” system appear to have convinced voters to reject the proposals.”

        The Chinese have lost their cheap labor advantage to AI, they are like most things in life no forward thinking. They are also forced to keep up to the advanced economies by trying to outsmart them with technology, wait till the jobless Chinese Coolies start raising their fists in the air collectively. It won’t be a pretty site for The Mandarins who are desperate to keep their grip on power. Chairman Mao will be watching from the underworld egging them on.

    Are We Getting Sea Life High on Opioids?

    Believe it or not, mussels in Seattle are testing positive for opioids. Mussels are what are known as “filter feeders” since they absorb food from their surrounding environment. The problem that is surfacing is demonstrating the difference between “pollution” and “climate change,” which so many people assume are the same thing. Mussels absorb also all contaminants from their environment into their tissues. Scientists in Seattle used cages to transplant clean mussels from an aquaculture source to 18 urbanized locations around Puget Sound. After a few months, they recovered the mussels from the urban waters and tested them.

    In three of the 18 locations they selected, the mussels shockingly tested positive for trace amounts of oxycodone. It seems the mussels are getting high. What is happening is that humans are ingesting opioids and excreting traces of the drugs into the toilet. Those chemicals in turn then end up in wastewater because not all contaminants can be filtered out of wastewater. Then the city ejects the wastewater into Puget Sound and we end up getting the sea life high.

    You might want to avoid “fresh” catches around major cities.

      3 stocks to buy for silver price recovery

      Investor’s Digest of Canada •6/7/18

      “But it is K92 Mining Inc. (TSXV—KNT) which we believe offers the highest growth profile (based on percentage) for near- and medium-term production, cash flow and NAV. Of the companies profiled in this report, KNT is the best positioned to benefit from ‘needle moving’ and NAV-growing exploration upside. While this comes with risk, significant down-side exposure is limited, in our opinion. We are initiating coverage on K92 Mining Inc. with a ‘buy’ recommendation and a $2-per share target price.

      K92 Mining Inc. offers an attractive and growing South East Asian (Papua New Guinea) domiciled precious and base metals production base underpinned by significant exploration/development upside.

      KNT sources all of its production from one operation, its flagship Kainantu mine. While we see KNT’s near-term production potential as small (about 45,000 ounces of gold equivalent per year estimated in 2018), we view KNT’s land package as highly prospective for new discoveries. Recent drill results reflect this and underpin potential for significant exploration/development upside.

      While KNT experienced delays in achieving commercial production in 2017, we see recent exploration success reflected by the discovery of new high-grade mineralization (Kora North deposit) as a potential game changer for KNT. We also see Kainantu’s potential to generate positive near-term cash flow growth as catalyzing investor interest in KNT.

      On March 1, KNT updated its resource for the Kora North deposit. The company says the deposit comprises a measured resource of 33,200 tonnes at 10.3 grams of gold per tonne of ore (g/t), along with 31g/t of silver.

      The deposit also comprises indicated resources of 103,500 tonnes at 12.7 g/t of gold and 27 g/t of silver.”

    Your talk with Jesse is right on. Locally, our housing market is nuts. People are putting their houses on the market and achieving bids of $40-50 grand above their already elevated price. Some are finding themselves in trouble because rentals are also tight. Spoke yesterday with an exec. from Petco. He can’t keep entry level people no matter what he pays. Has trouble with HQ in that they aren’t sympathetic to his concerns. In about 3 weeks, we’re putting our house on the market and yes,……….I’m selling myself. A monkey could move a house in this market so don’t need a realtor. Have to time it well though, since our new home won’t be built until 20 August or thereabouts. Don’t want to camp in the forest!

    I will say one important thing about Donald Trump, since the end of The Korean War in 1953, 65 years ago, at least Donald McDonald has tried to end The Korean conflict. They always say so have a few other Presidents, no they haven’t. They always ignored this dangerous situation by sticking their heads in the sand. One Ostrich after another. DT

    I think SLV is pretty much doomed at or just above the 100 WMA. Now, it’s quite possible that we get a significant spike above that MA for a week, but I think it will be ultimately reversed quickly. Look for the weekly stochastics to get overbought before such a reversal. Once we top, I think it will be lower into the fall. Don’t think it will be a crash, but more of the same (drifting lower) through September/October. Just a guess based on the weekly MAs and Ichimoku cloud on SLV.

      Jun 11, 2018 11:44 AM

      Nothing about SLV suggests that it is doomed…

      http://schrts.co/oU9pb6

        Jun 11, 2018 11:54 AM

        I think based on the weekly Ichimoku cloud for SLV as well as the sharply downsloping 100 WMA, SLV is more likely to pop here and come back down into this range or just below into September. By that time the 100 WMA will probably be close to crossing below the 100 WMA. Basically, I don’ think we are going to get any sustainable move upwards until late September or October.

          100 WMA crossing below the 200 WMA, that is.

    Jun 11, 2018 11:06 AM

    AG is making a run for its 100 WMA, just like SLV is. I should probably unload a portion of my position at the 100 WMA and wait for lower prices in the fall (maybe for a move back down into the 6s). It’s had a pretty decent run off the lows.

      Jun 11, 2018 11:38 AM

      AG is at the 600 day ema and looks strong…

        Jun 11, 2018 11:56 AM

        I think it gets stopped in its tracks at 7.85-8.00 and will head lower into September/October.

      Jun 11, 2018 11:43 AM
        Jun 11, 2018 11:07 AM

        after it peaks/touches the 100 WMA, I think AG will head back down, possibly forming a right shoulder in the 5.90 area in the September/October time frame.

    The following chart guarantees nothing, but I like it…

      you are right, it guarantees nothing. Nothing happening in this sector until the fall. Again, silver can pop significantly above the 100 WMA in the short run, but its coming right back down to today’s level by September IMO.

        Jun 11, 2018 11:36 AM

        Yes, I am right. With that out of the way, did you know that your fear and everyone’s unthinking confidence in the summer doldrums also guarantees nothing? Yes, I know the record but every now and then the cycles work against the usual seasonal weakness and the odds that that might be happening now are very good.

          Jun 11, 2018 11:46 AM

          I’ll say it again, once the 50 WMA crosses below the 100 WMA, and the 100 WMA starts arcing downwards, both of those MAs will eventually cross back below the 200 WMA. It’s true that we could get a bottom before they both negatively cross the 200 WMA, but I think the larger implication is price isn’t going to skyrocket anytime soon. And I do think it’s possible they could spike silver well over the 100 WMA for a week or two, but it is coming back down to today’s level later in the fall. Look at SLV’s weekly Ichimoku cloud.

            Jun 11, 2018 11:53 AM

            You can say it as many times as you like, the 50 WMA is already below the 100 WMA.

            And what’s your beef with the cloud? It’s bad enough that you have a habit of looking at one indicator in isolation but do yourself a favor and work on getting the right message from what you are seeing.

            Btw, what do the indicators below the following chart tell you?

            The MACD looks positive in the near term. As I said, a tag of the declining 100 WMA is in the cards but I think silver is coming back down to current levels into the fall.

            And yes the 50 WMA has already crossed below the 100 WMA. My point is they are both going to cross below the 200 WMA now.

            Jun 11, 2018 11:20 PM

            Also, given the length and severity of the bear, I don’t think it us unreasonable at all for the miners and silver to build out a 5 or 6 year base off of the low.

            It’s very possible the miners and silver will break significantly below their 200 WMAs for 3-6 months, retest or even drop below the 2016 low, and then quickly recover that dip and never look back.

            Jun 11, 2018 11:21 PM

            Trust me, I want you to be right, but I think you are way too optimistic over the next year.

            Jun 11, 2018 11:32 PM

            I think the nearly two years of base-building following the 2016 peak has only gone on as long as it has due to the huge gains of that year. The greater the move, the greater the correction (in depth, duration, or both).

            Aside from a few months in 2016, SLV has been below $18 for the last four years. For that and other reasons, your 5 or 6 years following the low does not seem reasonable to me.

            Jun 11, 2018 11:46 PM

            The Bollinger Bands have never been narrower — not even in 2010, just before silver went vertical. This doesn’t mean we’re in for a repeat, but the potential for a long move up is certainly there…

            Silver as in a confirmed, trending bull market in 2010, with all of the key MAs more or less in beautiful alignment. We have no such set up currently.

            I think we are headed lower from where ever and whenever we reach a near term low. BTW, Gary Savage now expects gold to get pummeled after the FOMC announcement. I can’t say I disagree, as the recent action on the weekly chart looks like nothing more than a bear flag. Every single ICL since 2016 has been a “V” shaped recovery. I wouldn’t expect any different this time. Time to bust the lube out.

            Jun 11, 2018 11:14 PM

            Gold will probably get hit but “pummeled” is a little dramatic.
            Don’t be surprised if silver and the miners diverge bullishly if it does drop.

            Jun 11, 2018 11:49 PM
            Jun 11, 2018 11:20 PM

            The 200 dma has also crossed below the 600 dma across the entire PM sector.

            Gold’s 200 WMA is also in danger of crossing below the 600 WMA unless it rockets higher from here.

            These all suggest years more of basing action ahead of us.

          Jun 11, 2018 11:05 AM

          Call it a backtest of a breakout for silver. The backtest is going to come into October/November timeframe.

    Jun 11, 2018 11:03 AM

    Good listen too…….at Mises Inst……Jun2 meeting in Ft. Worth……Fed covered and what the heck is going on……

    Jun 11, 2018 11:20 PM

    Nice day for Impact Silver today. Of course one day doesn’t make a trend. Matthew and Spanky love the back and forth. Keeps me balanced! : )

      Jun 11, 2018 11:22 PM

      IPT could easily tag its declining 100 WMA again. I think it will be sold hard against that MA and will ultimately break down this year.

    Jun 11, 2018 11:57 PM

    The 200 WMA is still downtrending in $XAU and $HUI. After all of these years, it hasn’t even managed to flatten out. That’s how much damage was wrought between 2013-2016.

    Jun 11, 2018 11:29 PM

    Could be. I am hoping for a bounce first. We shall see.
