Please scroll down for the section What To Do Now.
EMPLOYMENT PICTURE GETS STRONGER
This is what you need to know today.
Employment Report
June Employment Report shows Nonfarm Private Payrolls increased by 265K vs. 170K consensus. With this number, now we know that the may number was an aberration, we previously wrote that this was likely. Our analysis has proven to be spot on.
Bonds
Bonds should have precipitously dropped on the employment number. However they dropped only a little bit and have since rebounded. Bonds are behaving abhorrently. The reason behind this abhorrent behavior is not clear at this time.
Stock Groups
Expect banks, technology, and industrials to benefit. Expect telecoms, utilities and staples to weaken.
Precious Metals
Silver fell to 11% from its most recent high over the long weekend. Momo crowd immediately stepped in with aggressive buying. Silver has since rebounded. Gold is following the same pattern but not as violently as silver.
Markets
Our very, very short-term early stock market indicator is positive.
We have been sharing with you that oil fundamentals did not support the price above $50. Yesterday it was evident in inventory numbers. This morning oil has traded as low as $45.30.
Yen is behaving abhorrently just like bonds, first falling then rising again.
Gold futures are at $1350, silver futures are at $19.72, and oil futures are $45.07.
S&P 500 resistance levels are 2120, 2132 and 2150; support levels are 2063, 2038, and 2017.
DJIA futures are up 97 points.
STRONG ADP DATA, CRITICAL MARKET MOVING EMPLOYMENT REPORT TOMORROW, HOT MONEY RUSHES INTO GOLD AND SILVER
This is what you need to know today.
Strong Economic Data
ADP Employment Change came at 172K vs. 152K consensus. A higher number is better for the U. S. economy.
Initial Jobless Claims came at 254K vs. 268K consensus. Lower number is better for the U. S. economy.
Yesterday ISM Data was stronger than expectations.
FOMC
FOMC minutes show that the primary focus of the Fed is U. S. employment picture. The data released this morning shows that the U. S. picture is getting better. If the employment picture stays on this track, at least one rate rise this year is likely. However, gold market is positioned for no rate rise until 2018.
The foregoing shows that there is much higher risk in gold and silver than understood by the masses.
Hot Money In Gold And Silver
Hot money is flowing at a rapid clip into gold and silver. Over the last few days, a big portion of hot money has come from China.
Even in the United States, hot money is flowing into ETF GLD.
