1) "Buy the dip (ex high-multiple tech), markets would be fine with $130 #oil and 250bp yields, #coal: canary in a coal mine?" Marko Kolanovic (JPM)

- adjusting for inflation etc. we think even with oil at $130 or $150 equity markets and ...

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 ... Image
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) % of $XAU stocks > their 200D MAs has been 0% 10D in a row (went to 3% for 2D after this tweet). $GDX $GDXJ

So 10D MA of % of XAU stocks > 200D MA is also 0%.

Here are the days since '02 when this first occurred ...

2) (or came very very close).

9/17/18 (0% 10D MA)
8/5/15 (1%)
11/10/14 (0%)
3/5/13 (0%)
5/16/12 (0%)
10/29/08 (0%)
5/24/05 (2%)
5/18/04 (0%)

Every date not far from a major IT or LT low with that BIG exception in '13 (see posts about '13 last 6M).

10D stayed at 0% in '13 ...
3) for 5M and XAU fell 36% more before an IT low.

Besides '13 the low was usually a few days before these dates.

Different info in 10D charts. Fidelity is lost. E.g. Mar '20 doesn't show as selloff was so sharp.

Doesn't hurt GDXJ up > 1% while GLD down > 0.4% today. That's ...

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.

The good news ...

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.

It's hard to decouple macro, but ...

FT - $Silver surge could signal coming commodities boom. Serious mainstream press.

FT yesterday - "Food inflation concerns deepen as prices reach highest level since 2014."

Bloomberg Commodity Index BCOM goes back to 1960.

2) Sure like a 12Y downtrend reversed in December.

Agricultural commodities also did so on a linear chart in Dec. $DBA continues chugging along and has even more upside on a log chart if this is real.

Back to silver. Did silver break out vs. BCOM ...
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 ...

1) Today was EXACT opposite of 1/27/21 (closing $GME and most shorted index high).

$Nasdaq up 1.56% but its $TRIN was 2.04. Adv/dec >> up/down volume = high TRIN.

That's never happened since 1996 before today (just like 1/27).

$SPX $SPY $NDX $QQQ $Gold

2) When Nasdaq is down big with low TRIN, Nasdaq bounced at least the next day 7/7 times.

How about strong Nasdaq with high TRIN? There aren't precedents close to today.

Let's try SPX. SPX was up 1.39% while NYSE TRIN was also high at 1.74.

That ...
3) occurred just 3 times since 1996 before today.

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. Image

1) $Gold $silver update.

Wondering why gold isn't moving despite intraday swings?

It's caught between a well defined 6M channel and uptrend from Mar lows.

As mentioned before, the first move above was a false breakout but ...

$SPY $QQQ $GLD $SLV $GDX
2) pattern in this pullback is very different.

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.
