Global energy supply is now down an astounding 60% in the last 60 days!
We've never seen anything like this before.
I don't think people fully grasp the tsunami on its way. We're talking lockdowns, travel restrictions and grounded flights.
Not only that, the fertilizer situation is even worse! Expect food shortages in 3-4 months, Arab Spring 2.0 food riots globally, and introduction of a CBDC for food rationing.
BREAKING: SK Hynix is reportedly rushing to IPO on U.S. markets as soon as Friday under the ticker symbol $SKHY
The South Korean semiconductor giant is looking to raise $29 billion as it's set to become the largest ADR listing in Wall Street history.
The push to IPO comes from the South Korean government as the KOSPI Index has risen 300% in the past 12 months, but has since fallen 14%.
🚨 seeing timelines full of +3R risk-reward setups and price rejection zones today.
meanwhile gold is sitting at $4159.99 and silver is at $59.38.
the technical analysis crowd is missing the ONLY trade that actually matters right now.
you dont need a confirmation entry when the sovereign debt math is this broken.
treasury departments are issuing paper faster than organic buyers can absorb it.
primary dealers eventually choke on the supply, forcing central banks to quietly backstop the collateral.
that baseline liquidity puts a structural floor under hard assets.
the metals are already front-running the inevitable monetization of that debt.
keep trading your fiat triangles.
the guys stacking physical already know how this ends.
#Gold #XAUUSD #Silver #XAGUSD
#Metals continue to look strong overnight.
#Gold is up just over 1% but for now, there's no change in the chart for me. I highlighted the bear flag over the last few days. The yellow parallel is just to help visualise the bear flag more than definitive levels to watch and trade. The first real test of this bounce is the orange trend line. Break above that is bullish. Whilst below, I am bearish.
#Silver is follow gold and still in a bear flag pattern. The level to watch on this bounce is $64.65. Above is bullish. Below is bearish.

NOTE:
-I'm not in any positions on precious metals and I'm only interested in longs. BUT only if they drop to my target levels.
- Big money is now on holiday for the long weekend. I am sceptical of moves on short weeks like this so won't make any firm judgements until next week.
Crack spreads have nothing to do with the price of oil in isolation. The spread is the margin between the price of oil and the price of the final product produced. There are many variables to consider besides the price of oil.
A shortage of refinery capacity can lower crude prices due to a backlog of oil and increase final product tightness at the same time.
Currently we have a refinery shortage.
Pipeline or offtake capacity shortages can also leave oil producers captive to refineries in the catchment area, which will lower the price to take the excess crude off their hands.
Nobody can build a refinery to offset the spread in time so it will be resolved through demand destruction or supply restraints
This happened before . Danielle Smith mandated or strongly encouraged oil companies rolled back production to reconcile the surplus , crack spreads were very high during that period and came down when supply was reduced.
#Oil flat today so no real change on the chart. I added to my long earlier today which is an aggressive add because I am barely out of the money. BUT, I liked the candle formation at the final gap fill at $67.41 - there is bullish divergences on the daily, 4hr and 1hr charts (my 2nd chart here is the 1hr) so on the 1 hour, after closing below to fill the gap, when it got back above I added (67.50 was my exact buy).
That doesn't mean it can't go lower, and I will add more if it does, but I liked the structure for a bounce.
$80 remains my target.

NOTE:
I also noted the stockmarket was having a red day and whilst it wasn't a major factor, when the market de-risks before a long weekend I wonder what might happen.
