What’s With 21st Century NYSE Market Breadth?
Having to write market commentary on a market that changes little from one week to the next for over a year becomes tedious. This being the case I thought I’d go over the bull-market mechanics of the last few decades...
Great Expectations For Gold, Silver And The Precious Metals Mining Companies In 2020
The Dow Jones will continue advancing until it once again sees frequent days of extreme volatility, or Dow Jones 2% days. Until then, don’t be surprised should the Dow Jones rise well above 30,000.
The XAU Was A Top Performer For 2019
So how did the stock market indexes seen do this year? Since January 2 they are all up by double-digit percentages. But surprisingly the XAU​ (Precious Metals Mining) outperformed even the hot NASDAQ indexes.
Powell’s Not QE-4 Continues
The Dow Jones closed the week only 0.10% from making a new all-time high below. Fear not, we’ll see a few more new all-time highs before this advance is over.
The Not QE4 Is Now Nine Weeks Old
Since mid-October the Dow Jones has been at a new all-time high. So everything is coming up roses, right? Yes, but there is a disturbing trend now developing with the Federal Reserve’s balance sheet we all need to follow.
Market Update For Late November
Until the Dow Jones once again begins seeing regular days of extreme-market volatility, as it did last November, the path of least resistance for the stock market is up. This is a market whose valuations are being inflated by the Federal Reserve.
Bull Market Or Inflationary Smoke & Mirrors?
When did the Dow Jones once again began to advance? At the end of September, exactly when the FOMC once again began “monetizing” Uncle Sam’s IOUs in the Treasury market. It’s all just inflationary smoke and mirrors and it will not end well.
Quantitative Easing #4 Has Begun
I was right about what the key to higher valuations for the Dow Jones would be – whether or not the FOMC was “injecting liquidity” into the financial system; and they are.
The Past 10 Years Have Been A Market Anomaly
The Dow Jones is once again at the threshold of breaking into record territory; what more could we ask for?
Gold And The Dow Jones Index For The Week
Another week, but for the Dow Jones Index the song remains the same: so close yet so far from making a new all-time high. The Dow has remained above its BEV -7.5% line since last February, though in May and August it came down to test this level.
FOMC Slows Its Quantitative Tightening
The Dow Jones may soon break above its current 52Wk High (and current all-time high), thus closing at a new all-time high in the next few weeks. After that it depends on how much “liquidity” the FOMC is willing to “inject” into the financial system.
Exactly How Overvalued Is The Dow Jones In 2019?
Market volatility saw a big increase this week, and rising volatility has never been a good thing for the stock market. But so far, this spike in volatility is only a one-week affair.
All Is Quiet On The Western Front – For Now
Not much has changed with the Dow Jones or the broad stock market since the close of last week. With the exception of the Dow Jones Utility Average, which saw three new all-time highs , the other indexes provided no more in the way of excitement.
The Stock Market And Precious Metals On Hold
At week’s end we find the Dow Jones with a bearish, picture-perfect head and shoulders technical formation. So, is the market a sell as September 2019 comes to a close? And what about gold?
Negative Bond Yields? Please, Not In Front Of The Children
Negative yielding bonds is an issue demanding ever larger attention in the financial markets. Overnight bonds with negative yields are an accepted fact of life in the mainstream media.
Market Update For Late August
I have to say what the real problem the current market has is that it’s overvalued to the point where a tweet from President Trump can result in a big daily, greater than 2%, decline in the stock market.
