Big Picture Views

With all the hype and noise built in to daily and weekly market management, sometimes it is worthwhile to dial out, calm things down and touch base with markets on the big picture.  Here are views on various markets (with limited commentary) by way of some NFTRH monthly charts.

Let’s start with currencies, since they are a reflection upon global policy making, which has been unprecedented in its direct market interference over the last few years.

Nominal Charts – Currency

NFTRH; Econ Data, Markets and Gold

So the Swiss gold vote caused a sizable ruckus in gold and silver overnight.  This morning there is a nearly as sizable recovery in the metals.

The Swiss vote is an important hype component to get behind us and a positive reversal today would be notable, given the already over bearish sentiment profile (cue Citi’s Willem Buiter with a hysterical rant against gold leading in to the Swiss vote).

Gold vs. Oil

First let's preface by stating that I have a dislike for gold sector pom pom wavers as evidenced by this post at Biiwii:  Huey, Dewey & Louie. Second, let's ask…

In other news, gold stock bulls to bears... 'how you like me now sukkah?' Of course, the bounce was highly readable in something approximating real time.  Anyone who did not…

Originally posted at Biiwii.com; thought I’d pop it up here as well.

Below is a summary of some of the aspects we follow in NFTRH to gauge a future investment stance on the gold sector. It is much more complex than simply hearing dogma that seems to make sense and then holding on for dear life…

NFTRH; GDX & GDXJ 60 min.

No folks, I am not a day trader!  :-)

But that does not preclude me from dialing in to short-term views, and a short-term view I found interesting was in GDX and GDXJ.  When seeing the predictable pullback today my first thought was ‘typical… gold stocks can’t even sustain beyond a day or two’.  My second thought was ‘let me look at some charts’ and so…
