How To Spot Fake Financial News
Wouldn’t it be nice to see a financial news report that simply reported the facts? For instance, the following would be an example of accurate reporting: “The stock market was down X percent today.” But the following is how financial media always reports the news: “The stock market was down X points today on {insert a rationale here}.” Stating ANY REASON for movements in the stock market is more than suspect. It is the perfect example of fake news.
The Chinese Yuan vs Gold. How Correlated Are They?
I’ve seen a number of articles lately from various sources stating that essentially the Chinese government is now in full control of the price of Gold. Admittedly, from mid-June through mid-August of this year, the price of gold moved . .
Is Gold’s Historical Correlation with the Australian Dollar and Swiss Franc Predictive?
Is Gold’s Historical Correlation with the Australian Dollar and Swiss Franc Predictive? Historical Price movement in Gold is quite similar to price action in the Australian Dollar, especially since late-2008. Gold is also highly correlated with the Swiss Franc, especially since mid-2013. Recently, notice that during Gold’s April-August plunge, the Swiss Franc moved sideways. Then, in mid-August, the Swiss Franc stopped basing and started moving strongly to the upside. Gold has also moved upward since mid-August, although it has lagged the Swiss Franc in aggressiveness.

There’s an FOMC meeting and announcement next week. What’s the likely market reaction in silver?
My work as a market technician is generally based on the premise that markets move based on technical aspects derived from prior price action. However, very large players with an agenda (ie: central banks around the globe) are actively involved in the markets. Can looking at both the technical and the influence of the FED provide greater insight into market forecasts? Let’s take a look.
10-Year Treasury Yields Have “Broken Out” to a New Multi-Year High. Will Yields Continue Higher?
Yesterday’s market jolt, according to the talking heads on financial propaganda TV was due to 10-year treasury yields “breaking out” above their Dec 2013 high. I’m sure this slight new high invalidated a few Elliott Wave counts, and “confirmed” a few others.
