Just as some confirmation, I’m waiting for a pullback to buy some more Ag.No rockets or beach balls posted, so you know, that's kinda good.
I remember back when a $0.50 rise in POG would elicit "The End is Nigh!" excitements.
Demand seems to be very high at the small dealer level. I'm seeing premiums move up fairly quickly. No one has really been paying attention to silver... and that is when we are most likely to see the start a genuine move. 2c...As gold bounces around between 1950 and 2000, silver seems to be enjoying a little momentum.
The best time to buy is usually when everyone is falling all over themselves to buy.

Real stuff never was for trading.You might buy a few puts as a hedge but Its surely not a time to sell the real stuff. That could cause one heck of a gamma squeeze.
Nice to see someone sitting on the other side of the boat this weekend.I think that the system hasn't seen enough stress for this to happen... if we where @ DXY 150/60 yeah then next move DOWN, but for now I think we are just in a mess and not really 'on the brink'...
JMO etc...
Not saying they can't...Umm, money market funds can "break the buck" too. See 2008.

It is interested that TV commercials (don't watch much of that but on occasion) have been touting investing to the younger set of late. 'Manage your portfolio', 'be the boss of yourself' etc. IMO they're sucking in newbies to fleece.
Big push right across the board on the metals at the moment. Don't know what is powering it, but it looks and feels strong.Schwing... what is this? Right up against the top of the Silver resistance. Now it might get interesting.

Duh...
Gold and silver continue to benefit from hedge funds ditching their bearish bets; with prices holding solid support levels, and generating upward momentum, new bullish bets are entering the marketplace, according to the latest trade data from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
The new bullish momentum comes as gold prices continue to test resistance around $2,000 an ounce and silver has broken a long-term downtrend as prices hold above $24 an ounce. Looking ahead, analysts note that bullish speculative positioning in both metals is well below historical norms, meaning there is plenty of upside for prices as more investors jump into the market.

I think it is becoming clear that the pivot is approaching. We have this incredible fundamental alignment in the metals space at the moment. I believe Zed was calling for a possible move last week. This is damn sure looking like it. we c...Another thought...

Maybe the markets are anticipating the Fed will pause rate hikes since Canada and Australia have announced pauses.
TF Metals is saying the the Jobs/JOLTS report today was largely responsible for the metals spike. Reasoning is that the Fed has been using the tight labor market as a backstop to continue tightening. If this is no longer the case chances of further tightening diminish significantly. That, and other central banks taking a breather, as you pointed out.
It is all theater. But if it scripts the play that the FED is acting in, it will capture a wide audience.That looks to be pretty accurate. Jolts was a big miss but it's made up junk anyway. Still can move markets if they believe it.
