Silver 2023 looks bright

Investing in silver will raise your stress levels, it looks like the stress release will be in 2023.

The trade of silver vs paper fiat currency.

The whales accumulate silver during a down swing to ensure a lower cost average entry price.

Down swings in metals occur when fiat paper money strengthens.

Paper money strengthens when the interest rate is rising. 
Up swings in metals occur when fiat paper money weakens.
Paper money weakens when the interest rate is falling. 



Lets review an example of the above at work (ref Chart 1).


Black Numbers
During the (1) and (2) down swings there was high volume (accumulation) while short term interest rates move higher (green US 1 yr interest rate). These down swinging waves can be called accumulation because there was no break down in price. Therefore price was manipulated lower to achieve a cheaper cost average of price entry. The higher volumes during (1) and (2) has to be professional buying, as retail trade can not do this. Both (1) and (2) are tactical lower lows, and is not a price break down, yes you can call this a bear trap. 

Now during (3) and (4) short term interest rates peak and begin to roll over. These swings are on good volume and are the last chance for the professionals to accumulate in size before the retail traders work out silver is turning bullish. Professional traders work with new lows, retail traders work with higher lows, hence they are late to the turn. 

When the professional traders encounter bullish news they allowed price to rip higher as fast as possible, to simply frustrate retail traders trying to enter with size. Hence the retail trader is late to enter and the conditions to enter in size is frustrated by professional moving price too quickly (gaps, pull backs, spikes).


 
Purple Numbers
(1) and (2) are repeating the black (1) and (2) swings. Forming a bear trap (well so far). Short term interest rates trends are the same, moving higher and peaking. 

As we roll into 2023 growth and deflation concerns will pressure short term interest rates lower, allowing (3) and (4) to build. At the first sign of bullish news the professionals will allow price to rip higher before the retail trader can jump on board with any size. Once again the retail traders profit chances are limited by the professional. 

Rinse and repeat.

Chart 2 - When the fiat currency (US Dollar) interest rates fall the metals do well.

Chart 3 - A inflation crash is near. Falling inflation is less pressure on interest rates. More so when growth falls as well. Watch the US PMI's in the next 3 months.

The stocks crash window is now open

It will get worse only if the FED or Treasury druids do something very dumb!
image1

Historically July, August and September are the worst months for stocks, Oct is in 4th place.

Two dumb plays which could make things worse.

Yellen has been encouraging the US dollar higher to $110 DXY to fight inflation (oil) and is also trying to hurt Russia. The last time Yellen did this with some success was in 2014/15 while the US debt levels where under 100% of GDP and the strong dollar did not hurt stocks, bonds or tax receipts. Now this is not the case, a strong dollar is hurting US and debt to GDP is over 120%. If would be very dumb to continue the strong dollar policy. The latest news is that Yellen is overseas organising currency swaps for US dollars. 

The FED is intending to decrease their balance sheet by $95BN a month (starting Sept 2022). The Move index measures the risk in the US treasury market and the current risk is now higher than the COVID March 2020 crash. The FED's number one job is to ensure the US Treasury market is operational, and the Move index says it will be very dumb to add more supply to the debt markets. The FED hiking interest rates is a show for the uniformed, the US 1 yr and 2 yr are already over 3% so who cares about the FED Fund rate. Watch for FED comments on their balance sheet reduction plans or reversal of them in the next few weeks. 


The next 3 months could be the lows in the risk on markets. Well maybe, ha! 

Yes we know: could be, would be, should be.
But the FED and treasury can do some very dumb stuff!

Chart 1 - Here are two examples when the central planning druids did dumb things. Both resulted in market crashes which latter required more QE and debt to climb out of.


DOW




Chart 2 - Market tightening (strong dollar represents a shortage of dollars for world transactions) may be a cycle reversal or at least a pause is near.



USD




Chart 3 - When the US dollar supply increases (from a lower US dollar) anti US dollar trades do well.


Gold





Chart 4 - Copper (and oil) will show the way.

Money supply crash will force a sharp FED reaction

The FED money supply pump and dump will have to be followed by another pump if they want to avoid a depression.
image1

In the chart 1 below, M2 money (blue line) shows the COVID pump and dump by the FED. Yes this is the FED's mess, a panic reaction to COVID, and now a panic reaction to the inflation the FED created. 

True Money Supply (TMS, red line) is M2 less time constraint money (money in time lock deposits), so this is ready cash to spend in 24 hours and a much better forecaster of the economy in 12 or 18 months time.

Money supply also suffers from purchasing power effects (inflation), so M2 and TMS have been adjusted for inflation in the chart below. 

When ever the red line (TMS) sinks below the zero line a recession has followed in the months ahead, then what are we going to get in 2022/23 after the sharp crash of TMS (red line)?

In 1994/95 the TMS fell below the zero line, yet no recession followed, this was due to the very low oil price at the time. Therefore when the red line falls below the zero while oil has been high a recession is highly likely to follow in the months ahead (subject to the FED timed reaction with monetary policy).

The Chicago financial conditions index has not yet sunk to the lower gray line (@@CHCR), so no recession yet. The FED made this mess, and the FED can fix this mess. But they will be late, so we shall have a few quarters of terrible growth. A transfer of wealth to the informed will be made in the coming tough economic quarters. Let you be the informed!
