Be glad you're not in Europe, where NIRP all around has become the reality. It is downright terrifying, ultimately this will trigger the biggest financial crisis in history. 2008 and the euro crisis of 2011 will look like the proverbial walks in the park by comparison.

Fed Hints At Rapid Return To ZIRP, Sends Everything Soaring As Dollar Plunges

NYFed Williams basically implied ZIRP is coming back and soon and that sent the market's expectations for July rate cuts soaring (50bps now at 65%!)...



2019 rate-change expectations now back above 50bps...



Piling on, Fed's Clarida added that research suggests acting preemptively when rates are low.

Gold, Bonds, & Stocks soared as the dollar dumped...



Seriously!! At record high stock prices!!!!

And all of that silliness sent stocks soaring... The Dow scrambled back to unchanged at the bell



With Nasdaq ripping back from its Netlfix-ing (even if NFLX didn't budge - NFLX lost "A Deutsche Bank" in market cap today)...



S&P 500 desperately pushed higher to try and regain 3,000...



Trannies were tempestuous this week but remain entirely decoupled from global growth...



FANG Stocks (thanks to NFLX) reversed as expected at serious resistance...



IG and HY credit have notably decoupled...



Stocks and bonds remain drastically decoupled...



Treasury yields tumbled after Fed's Williams comments..



10Y Yield is heading back towards 2.0%...



The (3m10Y) yield curve was steepening intraday (heading back towards 0) until Williams spoke...



Debt Ceiling Anxiety is building fast in the Bills curve...



The Dollar collapsed after Fed's Williams ZIRP comments...



Yuan spiked...



USDJPY plunged to near 1-month lows, decoupling from stocks...



After more ugliness overnight, Cryptos surged today...



With Bitcoin blasting back above $10k...



Silver extended its huge week as crude crashed...



Gold surged on Williams comments...



Silver spiked over 2%...



Silver continues to outperform gold (off 26 year lows relative to the yellow metal)...



WTI continued its rapid decline, accelerating further on Iran nuclear deal headlines...



HY Energy credit has widened dramatically...



Oil's slide has been largely ignored by stocks...



Finally, what do you want to hold here? Stocks or Silver?



And as far as the ridiculous spike in Philly Fed (the biggest jump in a decade), Gluskin-Sheff's David Rosenberg clarifies:

Trade accordingly...



And before we leave, is noone else somewhat worried about what exactly it is that The Fed is panicking about that prompts them to jawbone the odds of a 50bps rate cut this aggressively with stocks at record highs?

Keeping in the loop, just is that we can still claim to be paying attention t the state of 'is' whilst on break ...

Here is a good analysis of the gold / gold miner situation from someone who actually understands the gold market. That is actually rare - most of the analysis I see, whether from mainstream or "alternative" sources, is produced by people who even after years of watching and commenting on the sector still don't know the first thing about what moves gold prices.

Now, in this piece the guy doesn't discuss gold fundamentals, but I know from what he has written about them previously that he actually knows what's what. This one is mainly interesting for the initial technical targets he proposes. Actually, this is quite useful and more or less jibes with my current thinking (which is, let us take one step at a time - as he says here, once we reach the target suggested by the current technical and fundamental backdrop, we will have to reassess the situation in order to determine if a long term bull market is indeed underway).

Anyway, bookmark the dude, he is always worth reading:

Day-to-day volatility will be the new normal. Near the end of the bull market we should see daily ranges of $250 to $300 in the gold price (this sounds crazy now, but I history is backing me up on this idea). Please forget the idea that markets move because of "news" - they don't.

Who is what's his name?

also, rather weird action today.. markets look like shit actually, FED has yet again this week made a fool of itself, BOJ is signaling rate cuts, Italy is looking like shit again, and ad infinitum, but silver break out is under pressure and gold heading for the doors for the weekend.

Whatever.

I should never lean bullish ever in anyway in a public statement of any kind. Have I not learned this fundamental lesson? obviously not.

By the way, did what's his name die? not a word about his longs or shorts in weeks now.

1. Some gaps are never filled. This one is very likely either a break-away gap or a measuring gap and may well remain open just as the gap in the DJIA in Dec. 1974 (only Prechter is still waiting for it to be closed...:))

2. the same thing happened with gold stocks in the 1970s after the mid-cycle bear market of 1974 to 1976. The reasons were the same: higher costs, share dilution during the preceding bullish phase, and investors not believing that gold would move much higher. They finally realized the error of their ways in 1978-1980. In the end, gold stocks made a new all time high 9 months after gold had actually topped out (!) - investors at the time thought it would go even higher.... (e.g. DRD was at $ 2 1/2 in mid 1978, at $32 1/2 at the gold peak in Jan 1980 and at $52 3/4 at the secondary lower gold peak in late Sept 1980).

Huge open gap at 180. Would suck if that were to be filled.

Was at 286 in 2016 when gold was considerably lower, 1377/oz

638.59 all time high with gold at 1923/oz.
