2) - we think markets can absorb higher rates, and we don’t expect a broad market selloff unless yields were to rise above 250-300 bps (US 10y), which we don’t foresee in the near term
Who am I do comment but bursting of the dotcom bubble was preceded by 6.8% 10Y, GFC was ...
3) preceded by 5.3%, and 3.2% caused a short but sharp bear market Q4 '18 (Powell panicked in just a few months).
Given leverage, duration, sensitivity to equities and populism today vs even a few years ago, not sure the box within which the Fed is "trapped" is as big as 2.5%.

1) When I read articles about $gold or $silver, I begin a skeptic. Ronan Manly may be the most analytical person in the sector, but I don't know that (yet), and there is so much misinformation about this group.
2) is that a quick Bloomberg back-of-the-envelope seems consistent with his broad conclusion.
As best as I can tell, his 28K tonne of ETF silver in London is less than total ETF holdings mostly because 1/7 SLV vaults is in NY and $PSLV is in Canada.
Taking a step back, ETF ...
3) holdings of silver rose sharply while silver in London declined for months into July 2020. The delta between the two was by far the lowest in its history.
Silver then began a sharp run on 7/20/20 (dashed line), rising 50% in a few weeks.
3) (which also tells you how atrocious commodities broadly have been for so long)?
At least on this chart, the run from 20 to 30 last summer happened after ratio broke the old high. Maybe we're just retesting that point with silver correcting & other commodities rising?
1) $Gold down > 2% today after bumping against breakout level for 2W. Just couldn't do it even with that 1 day WSB $silver push. And now back in middle of that channel.
But there's a silver lining. Outperformance of both $XAU ...
2) (PM mining index) and silver today is pretty rare and at least a very ST positive.
Both silver and PM miners have much higher beta on both up and down days. And today was a big down day for gold.
This happened 23 times since 1996. Miners (XAU) were up the next day 18 times.
3) Most recent occurrence was 3/31/20.
Haven't had time to look at intermediate term returns, but eyeballing the chart, multi-month risk/reward skews positive when XAU is at lower end of a 6-9M range, even in late 2011 after the bull market's end and in 2013 during the midst ...
After the 3 cases in 2000, SPX declined 7-9% within 2-5 weeks.
N=only 3. And as crazy as 2000 was, last 6 months have also been historically crazy. With many similarities but also big differences in market dynamics. So just FYI.
At closing prices, gold held intermediate trend in channel unlike other corrections (dashed line), the uptrend from Mar, and the top of the channel - all quite precisely.
Gold/silver ratio are at new lows today. PM miners have ...
3) also begun to outperform, with several miners at multiyear highs. This is just bullish.
Resolution probable next week. Next breakout with GLD closing > ~$175 or gold > ~$1875 is unlikely to be a fake out.
Also, inflation expectations are rising as fast or faster than rates.
