Gold Holds Onto Gains as Inflation Expectations Rise
The massive move in Gold prices yesterday was really the sideshow to the main event of a reversal in U.S. Treasury prices. The benchmark 10 year yield moved quickly down to 2.7% and traded lower than that for a while after stubbornly refusing to dip below 2.75% for most of the summer. This is what […]
Crude Oil Spread Drops Under $10 as West Texas Rises above $94

Looking at that monetary statistics, it is obvious that no matter what the Fed says they have not begun their QEIII program. The Adjusted Monetary Base — not the strictest variable for the evidence of QE I will grant — stubbornly continues to oscillate around the $2.6 billion level, which, along with Euro strength right […]
Gold Threatens the $1700 Level as Equities Sag
The fear trade seems to be returning in full force, but this time it is fear of a true global recession that is driving capital back into the very fickle arms of the U.S. Dollar and, to a lesser extent, U.S. Treasuries. After as successful defence of 79 the USDX has moved back to 80 […]
