QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong; your position is that the metals are not suppress by manipulation. There have been 3 major investigations into silver market manipulation of which each concluded there was no manipulation because COMEX silver was not out of line with the “Silver Fix”. Some say that this was a fake investigation and with the London […]

Asian equities lost momentum and saw losses in Shanghai and Hang Seng, and watched the Nikkei give back all of the opening gains. Europe fared no better closing mixed as they waited patiently for the Fed to provide direction. The U.S. market certainly felt it had the direction and momentum it required when we saw […]

All markets opened on a nervous note following Fridays atrocities. In Asia, we saw the Nikkei and Hand Seng both down by more than 1%. This was accompanied by a flight to safety into bonds, gold, and the U.S. dollar. As European markets opened, the mood was still negative, and all indices opened weakly. CAC […]

They remain fixated on this idea of interest rates up and stocks down. It really is pathetic to see people who call themselves […]

Asian Equity markets really had no idea which way to play today after a mixed set of economic data releases. The Retail Sales was marginally better than expected at 11% (estimates were for around 10.9%), whilst the YoY Industrial Output release failed to meet the forecasted 5.8% expectation as we saw a 5.6% print. As a result […]
