Gold Daily and Silver Weekly Charts - A Banquet of Consequences

"Everybody, sooner or later, sits down to a banquet of consequences."

Robert Louis Stevenson

Gold was held below the $1320 level and silver the $22 level once again.

I tend to think they are coiling for a move, but we will probably have to wait while Twitter comes out to play, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics squeezes out another Non-Farm Payroll Report on Friday.

We finally had a little action in the Comex warehouses. I will be posting on that separately later tonight.

You may have heard that a group of traders have come forward claiming that they have proof of price manipulation in the Brent Crude market.

Let's see, at last count that makes about EVERY major market that has been rocked by a profound scandal of price rigging and market manipulation, enabled or perpetrated by a major player in the Anglo American banking cartel. There is all kinds of weird shit going on, but nothing to see here in precious metals markets, so move along. 

As the Lord asked Noah, at least according to Bill Cosby, 'how long can you tread water?'

Have a pleasant evening.

We start hitting the substance of the economic reports with GDP tomorrow and Non-Farm Payrolls on Friday.

The Twitter IPO looms over the market action as well as the real economy, and I have a sneaking hunch that the Street will support stocks until Twitter gets shoved out the door tomorrow, and perhaps for a few days after.  As you have probably heard it is coming out on the higher side of $26 per share.   Let's see how it does in the market.

I am not in stocks here, but am fighting an urge to get something going on the short side until we get a better idea if they can keep this pig in makeup for the year end ramp at least.  Twitter may give us some insight.

This market is built on a foundation of meringue, supplied by those little elves at the Fed, who are pumping huge sums to Wall Street while Main Street languishes with little excess buying power and a floundering median wage.

While the Fed does not control fiscal policy, they have a huge amount of leverage as a primary bank regulator that they are not using well.

Have a pleasant evening.
