Everyone Is Looking Left.

Dear Investor.

 

Again, investors fall prey to the Fed; let's get this straight, not even the Fed knows when rates will start to fall. Pure emotions rule most markets today. How many outright warning signs are needed...rates are not going down in March. 

 

When Mr. Powell said that rates would be coming down next year at the last Fed meeting...investors ran with the ball into the end zone.

 

The problem is jumping the gun with a wishlist that's way too optimistic or even foolish at times. Just last week, IMG addressed not to get ahead of ourselves...4, 5, or 6 cuts when we haven´t arrived at the first. The cuts are coming but not tomorrow. 

 

This, by the way, is not the only thing going on, everyone is looking left, but the surprise will come from the blind side. A New York Bank seems to be in a delicate position. What will happen next? Banking crises have a quiet window before they tend to blow up.

 

In the Middle East tensions are at extreme highs; further reactions from all sides should be expected soon. New warnings issued by the Saudis and Egypt regarding the latest developments in Gaza.

 

Short-term: Headlines are your buying opportunities.

 

Long-term: Fundamentals are your guide.

 

Much success to all.

A Slippery Slope.

A Slippery Slope. Dear investor.   It gets more complicated every minute that goes by...it seems that the missile which hit the hospital originated from Gaza. No matter where it came from this act of terror has no justification.    A U.S. battleship intercepted three missiles that were fired from Jemen; the flight path was headed towards Israel. Events like this could change the conflict or should we say expand to third parties raising global tensions immediately?   If the flow of oil is disrupted, expect further gains in precious metals as investors continue to seek safe havens.    Events unfolding, bring greater possibilities for using oil as a weapon against the West. Such a play will then reflect directly on inflation numbers and maintain pressure on the Fed to hold rates steady.    Israel to start its ground war soon, the potential for additional Black Swan events will multiply exponentially...Iran is looking...searching for that window to enter the field.    In Leban

When Rates Start To Fall.

When Rates Start To Fall. Dear investor.   While the FOMC meeting is taking place, let´s take a moment to understand the potential for precious metals heading into the new year.   If we look at basic economics, in an environment where interest rates are rising sharply, the textbook answer is for the metals to decline in value.   That being said, over the last year, rate hikes were not rising, they were on fire, straight up with no brakes insight...and gold managed to hold, plus, establish a new record high in such hostile conditions.   Then the logical question is, what are the possibilities as interest rates start to fall?   This requires that you calmly digest and review closely the last twelve months.   Tomorrow, the Fed will most likely stay put, with the inflation numbers remaining stable from the last report. Most expect no rate increase.    As soon as the decision is announced IMG will inform all of you.   Short-term: Headlines are your buying opportunities.

Expect Volatility.

Expect Volatility. . Dear Investor.   The Fed meeting started today; as always,  IMG  suggests  that investors should expect volatile conditions...  Tomorrow at 2:00 PM EST, the decision will be released.    The market estimate is that rates will remain as is.   This is the dominant news... everything else is secondary.   IMG  will inform all of you slightly after the rate decision; Mr. Powell´s comments following the data will carry more weight than the actual rate announcement.   Short-term: Headlines are your buying opportunities.   Long-term: Fundamentals are your guide.   Much success to all.   Schedule your appointment here clicking.   Depository relations: London - Singapore - United States Canada - Australia - China - Switzerland Brinks - IDS - Loomis - The Perth Mint info@intlmetals.com
