TF Metals Report Blogs

Another day begins with a Digital Gold smashing right out of the Comex starting gate. And don't forget that there are a set of Fedlines due this afternoon.

So here we go again. This makes three days in a row and very nearly 4-4 this week....

Well, here we go. We've written since at least January that the US midterm elections would bring gridlock, endless investigations and declining confidence. We're about to see if that theory holds: https://www.tfmetalsreport....

It's not quite like the summer doldrums but today's action is similar. We'll likely sit and wait with prices in a range, all the while subject to sudden spikes and selloffs due to random headlines about turnout and exit polls. So, why not a Hat Contest?!?

Ummm, let's see...What can we...

The week begins with a U-turn on the chart. Is that what we have to look forward to this week?

In case you missed it earlier, here's a 5-minute chart showing the action/reaction to the Iran sanction news and other headlines:...

Please be sure to take some time to read this today. Ahead of Tuesday's US elections, our friend Jim Quinn accurately and eloquently summarizes where we are relative to "The Fourth Turning".

Well, all things considered, when Comex gold and silver can shrug off a "strong and robust" BLSBS, then maybe things are indeed beginning to turn.

If you missed the news from earlier, here's the official summary from ZH:...

It's always a big shock when you wake up tp find green all over your board. It's so rare, in fact, that I often take snapshots of it for eye candy purposes and use later....

Just as we began to suspect on Monday, the raid/smash continues today with prices breaking down toward critical support where The Bankers hope to drive The Specs back into the short side of the trade.

And it's already happening. As we mentioned yesterday, with the price of Comex silver...

With the US midterm elections less than one week away, it's only a matter of time before the howls begin that Russia "meddled" and "stole" the elections, particularly if the R-republocrats somehow manage to maintain control of Congress.

There's a lot of great history in last night's...

Well...ole Turd just spent about an hour typing up a new post...only to mistakenly navigate away from the page and then lose it forever. I won't be making that mistake again. However, I'm going to type fast now in the hope of replicating it in some fashion.

Yes, Comex gold looks good....

Oh my, what an interesting week this promises to be. No doubt the volatility will continue in "stock markets" worldwide. But there will also be a massive Fed liquidity withdrawal on Wednesday and the BLSBS on Friday so buckle in and look sharp.

Let's start again with the "stock markets...

It was a Manic Monday and now it's a Freaky Friday. What's in store for next week?

I'm going to have to type fast because things are moving awfully quickly this morning. I may dispense with the usual commentary and focus primarily on the charts you need to watch today.

First,...

I'm just sitting here, laughing to myself as I begin typing on this fine, Thursday morning. All the talk yesterday about the lousy close, the horrible chart...and the ongoing, overpowering CB manipulation...and guess which side won out? Big shock there, huh?

It all started at the usual...

The criminality continues as Switzerland imports 92 metric tonnes of U.K. gold in September.

Sometimes, even after all these years, I can still see something that stops me in my tracks. Today, it's the latest Swiss gold import and export data.

As you can see below, for just...

As the U.S. threatens to withdraw from the INF Treaty that was signed decades ago, the New Cold War has taken a darker and more dangerous turn.

If you've been listening to these podcasts over the years, then you know that a history lesson is one of their foremost benefits...Professor...

It's going to take some serious Central Bank Magic to rescue the "stock market" today. And it's not a question of "IF" the intervention will occur, it's a function of "when".

So far, though, it has been straight down for the S&P. The futures were down all through the overnight and...

As we all attempt to adjust to the updated TFMR, the "markets" keep on trading, regardless. So let's dig in and attempt to assess where things might be headed this week.

Thanks again to everyone for your patience and understanding with the updated site. While there are things you may...

The updated TFMR is up and running!

As you've no doubt noticed, the revamped TFMR is a complex beast. There are all sorts of updates and added capabilities and this will make the experience for all of us here even better.

The old site was built on a Drupal platform in 2011 and...

As the final glitches get worked out on the site transition, just this quick post and update.

Let's begin with the "stock market". It's the 31st anniversary of the 1987 crash and it appears that TPTB are working to ensure that no hint of any such event occurs today. Regardless of...
