TF Metals Report Blogs

It's the last day of August and the Summer Doldrums officially end tomorrow. It may still technically be The Dog Days, but with the monthly charts about to be painted, there's certainly no shortage of stuff to write about.

And it's going to be a busy week, too. Today is a UK holiday so...

It's always fun to be on The Keiser Report as well as the X22 Report. Here's a free thread that contains both links.

Both of these interviews were recorded back on Tuesday but were just released either late yesterday or early today. We discuss Powell and his impending policy change as...

Finally and at long last, the month of August is soon to draw to a close and take with it the Summer Doldrums and Dog Days. For now, though, we must deal with this final Friday and, once again, a price of Comex gold that is joined tick-for-tick with the POSX. Fortunately for us today, the POSX...

Chief Goon Powell's "consequential" policy statement came off without a hitch today and, though it was tremendously bullish long-term for the precious metals, we've seen a whipsaw. Why? Don't forget what time of year it is.

Again, this should NOT be a surprise to anyone...

As we discussed late last week, The Big Event this week will be Chief Goon Powell's Thursday morning appearance at this year's virtual Jackson Holedown. The Comex action today has all the appearances of a deliberate effort to "plow the field" before the event.

And why do I say that?...

Another week that proves the old TFMR adage of "it's not how you begin the week that matters". Monday saw a strong rally on The Greazball news but it has been nothing but steady downward pressure ever since as The Summer Doldrums have taken hold.

And how do we know this? Because, at...

It seems clear that we are officially in the doldrums of summer...the Dog Days. And how do we know? Because pre-programmed algo correlations are now driving prices, regardless of fundamentals or human intellect.

All you have to do is look at the action this morning to see it. As...

Everything came together this morning just as I hoped it might when yesterday's podcast was recorded. So, since I'm playing with some house money, I thought that today might be a good day to do some gambling.

As you know, the July FOMC minutes are due to be released at 2:00 pm ET today...
