Craig Hemke – Pushing Back On The Omnipotence Of The Fed’s Economic Messaging

Craig Hemke, Founder and Editor of TF Metals Report, joins us to break down market reactions to some of the recent “better-than-expected” macroeconomic data points,  and how this has continually moved the target of the Fed policy expectations.  We take into account that there has been recent strength in the general US equities and improving market breadth, due to more speculative interest pouring into the markets on the “soft landing” narrative.   This has been a distraction away from investor interest in safe havens, as we’ve seen gold, silver, and the precious metals mining stocks continue to correct lower.

 

Craig goes on to remind listeners that we’ve seen this pattern of excessive jubilation before in general equities and the cryptos when investors believe the all-clear signal has been given; only to see the trends reverse sharply when the next economic dislocation presents itself. We discuss the ongoing number of instances where the Fed’s messaging, seen as omnipotent by mainstream financial media outlets, often is 180 degrees off-base in just a short time afterwards, where things end up developing in exactly the opposite way. Craig is watching to see where the PCE inflation data comes in tomorrow, and more importantly, where the jobs report numbers come in next Friday.

    It is interesting (and a bit surprising) that CBS recently posted this piece targeting new investors in gold bullion and gold stocks. I thought that what generalist investors wanted were more tech stocks and AI stocks?

    (VZLA) Vizsla Silver: A Rising Star in the Stock Market

    by Yasmim Mendonça – Best Stocks – June 27, 2023

    “Like any successful enterprise, Vizsla Silver has seen its fair share of ups and downs over the past year. Its 12-month low of $0.91 may have left some investors feeling hesitant, but its corresponding high of $1.65 more than made up for any initial doubts. With a current market capitalization of $210.42 million, Vizsla Silver has proven its worth in the competitive arena that is Wall Street…”

    “With its 50-day moving average currently sitting at $1.31 and its 200-day moving average at $1.30, Vizsla Silver is certainly trending up — and analysts are taking notice as well. Alliance Global Partners recently assumed coverage on shares of Vizsla Silver with high praise for the company’s potential; they issued a “buy” rating alongside an impressive target price of $3.25 on the stock.”

    https://beststocks.com/vizsla-silver-a-rising-star-in-the-stock-market/

      Jun 29, 2023 29:49 PM

      Vizsla Silver is currently trading at $1.18 U.S. for it to reach $3.25 I assume that is U.S. which would make it almost a triple although they didn’t seem to give a time frame, I would assume they mean one year. That would be an excellent return.

      On the other hand I would rather place my money with Santacruz Silver, for upside percentage potential. I see Santacruz Silver beating Vizsla hands down within the same time frame if I had to pick one over the other. DT

        Jun 30, 2023 30:36 AM

        I wouldn’t want to be without Vizsla or Santacruz in my portfolio for torque to the Silver prices, as both companies have different value drivers – VZLA more on exploration success and SCZ more on operational growth and production efficiencies.

        They are 2 of my highest weighted silver positions (and 2 of my higher weighted overall portfolio positions), and thankfully one doesn’t have to chose between just one or the other. Why not just own both?

        Ever upward.

    Top 3 Reasons Junior Miners Have Tanked

    Jordan Roy-Byrne – The Daily Gold – 06/28/2023

    “Volume in junior Miners and junior exploration companies is now at a 20-year low. Share prices have plunged. Here are the causes:”

    – First, metals prices across the board are down significantly. Silver is 25% off its high while industrial metals and energy commodities are 35% and 45% off their highs respectively.

    – Second, and this impacts everything outside of precious metals, the Fed has tightened extensively and there are major concerns about a recession and current demand.

    – Finally, the costs of production have increased dramatically over the last few years.

      Also sort of freaky end of month and end of quarter as money transferers are in the Hamptons Monday for the 4th where they get stoned as Craig projected. I got a bag of Cheetos for the first couple of hours plus a can of anchovies to throw at the big screen for the CNBS Show for a few hours after open until London closes

      Jun 30, 2023 30:38 AM

      Hi Jerry, the environmentalists claim that all these forest fires that seemed to start at the same time in different locations supports their thesis for a carbon tax because of climate change. DT

        Jun 30, 2023 30:11 PM

        It seems far less likely that the climate change boogeyman (the media’s favorite narrative) suddenly lit a bunch of fires all at the same time, and far more likely that human beings were involved in such a concurrent breakout of fires all over the place. Yes, it quite “conveniently” pushes the narrative for more carbon taxes and environmental controls… Whatever the case, it will be used as fodder to further these policy initiatives and foist them upon companies and taxpaying citizens under the guise of “protecting the planet.”

      Craig cracks me up during many of these interviews. When he mentioned people on WallStreet checking out for this long holiday weekend to go to the Hamptons and pursue their high-life vices I was chuckling on mute with the mental images he was painting. We never know where he is going to take things in his rants. 😆

        Jun 30, 2023 30:34 AM

        What if all of it is true and none us were invited…

          Jun 30, 2023 30:05 PM

          Haha! Good point.

          I was thinking cooking out in the backyard with a few craft beers and heading to the beach to relax was a nice way to spend the holiday weekend… but hey, different strokes for different folks…
