Stocks And Precious Metals Charts – Holiday Week
Stocks continued their declines today. They are at support, on the very brink of a much larger decline. A bit surprising given the bias of this holiday week, and the traditional ‘Santa Claus rally’. And yet one barely detects any fear, and the safe havens are of little interest. We do have the phenomenon of […]
WTI Barely Bounces After Surprise Crude Draw
After the collapse in the energy complex today amid concern OPEC’s plans to cut production won’t be enough to stem a surge in stockpiles, all eyes are on API’s report to see if crude inventories rose for the ninth week in a row… 12-month lows for WTI… And Oil vol has reached its highest since […]

Stocks Slammed Into Red For 2018 Amid Carnage In Crude, Crypto, & Credit
Unlike Monday, Chinese stocks were ugly overnight, erasing yesterday’s ‘odd’ gains… And Yuan weakened modestly… European stocks extended yesterday’s losses… Pushing Europe to its lowest in two years… US equities collapsed into the cash open, bounced to the European close then gave it all back… Nasdaq is the biggest laggard […]
2018: The Collateral Case
Last December, something clearly broke. The global basis had swept far under zero again, an ominous sign that eurodollar banks were having trouble creating, finding, and redistributing global funding.
