Wild Opex And Three Black Crows

Another Gold Pop N’ Flop

Another Gold Pop N’ Flop

Upon Gold’s record run this past Tuesday into Wednesday’s fresh All-Time High of 2488, we gave pensive consideration to entitling this week’s piece as “The Joy of Being Wrong”.   After all, given Gold’s recent weekly technicals having been imbued with a rather negative bent, we’ve been prudently wary of a run down to test our oft-mentioned 2247-2171 […]
An Inflation Story

An Inflation Story

Reuters recently published a panoramic view of inflation over the past several years. depositphotos While the article titled “What Republicans won’t say and Democrats don’t like to discuss about US inflation” has political overtones, I took interest in the many charts as a fascinating inflation story.

Russell 2000 Explodes Higher As Rotation Takes Hold

Last week, we noted that the market did flip the previous “sell signal,” with stocks topping 5600 for the first time. However, that move also pushed the market back into extremely overbought territory, and the deviation from the 50-DMA is quite significant. depositphotos As noted: “Such suggests that, as we saw in late May and June, the […]

It seems hard to believe it was so recent, but the highest level for the Dow Industrials in human history was only on Thursday, when it reached the lofty 41,376 (keep in mind, this sucker was 6,469 during the financial crisis). It reversed over 1,000 points within hours, and at this point, the next success […]
