Gold a Hold While Miners Blasted

Lee Adler

The selloff on Tuesday didn’t quite do enough to confirm the forecast of a top here. A drop below 2470 would tend to do so. Non-subscribers click here for access.

Swing Trade Screen Picks – Nothing to Add This Week

Lee Adler

As of August 30, the list had an average gain of + 3.4% on an average holding period of 16 calendar days. That was down from an average gain of + 4.7% on an average holding period of 17 calendar days the week before. The list is back to 17 open picks to start the week, down from 24 on our last look. This is still a lot, so I will refrain from adding anything new for now. Non-subscribers click here for access.

Withholding Tax Collections Support Sufficient Liquidity Growth

Lee Adler

Withholding tax collections grew enough in August to support existing market trends. Non-subscribers, click here for the rest of the story.

Subscribers, click here to download the report.

Meanwhile, after my repeated warnings that the tax collection data did not support the BLS monthly nonfarm payrolls fiction, the other shoe dropped. The BLS announced a downward benchmark revision of 800,000 jobs for the year. This was due to an average monthly overstatement of “only” 67,000 jobs per month. Non-subscribers, click here for the rest of the story.

And let’s not forget the monthly revisions, which are often material. What a joke. I’ll stick with analyzing the tax data, which tells us all we need to know about the all-important Federal revenues in real time. That, secondarily, tells us something about the US economy, and how much excess liquidity it might be generating from business profits and employment income. Excess income becomes excess liquidity in bank accounts and money market funds, available to buy stocks and bonds.

Regardless of how misleading the jobs reports may be, nominal revenue growth, from both jobs and inflation, has been strong enough to restrain the growth of Treasury supply and enable the US Treasury to build an enormous hoard of cash while cutting bond and note issuance.

That doesn’t change the fact that there’s still a tsunami of supply coming. But if the mix emphasizes T-bills, the market can readily fund that through using the T-bills as collateral for repo at 97% of face value.

Of course, whether it will do that or not depends on psychology, which we consider with the analysis of ratios of stock prices to liquidity in other reports.

There’s not enough evidence yet in the tax data to suggest that that strong revenue growth holding back the growth of Treasury issuance has changed. Withholding tax revenue rebounded in August enough to xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxx July. There’s enough revenue to xxxxxxxxx xxxxx expected T-bill xxxxxxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxxx result of September estimated tax collections. The Treasury has already posted a modest T-bill paydown for this week. We’ve estimated that xxxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxxxx, once the quarterly tax windfall is collected on September 16.

To see the data for August visualized and learn what to expect …

Gold’s Most Important Point

Lee Adler

Gold could top out here. The 13-week cycle projection has been reached in the expected time frame. xxxx is projected resistance. Short-term cycles are due for down phases lasting a week or two. If the price drops under xxxx in this period, then this could be a bigger top. If it holds above that, a subsequent breakout would suggest that the 10-12 month cycle will remain in trending mode with the long-term trend strengthening, leading to xxxx xxxx xxxx.

Liquidity Still Supports the Rally, But with Warnings

Lee Adler

There were no significant changes in the data this week. In looking at the big picture, I saw nothing that would materially change my analysis and outlook posted in the previous update posted August 19. However, I want to comment on an observation I made last week. Non-subscribers, click here for access. 

Subscribers, click here to download the report.

8/19/24 That means that the more T-bills the Treasury issues, the more bullish it is, because of market participant willingness to use those bills to convert to cash, which then enters the banking system via the magic of government deficit spending. So not only does that T-bill issuance fund market speculation, it also stimulates the economy via deficit spending. Non-subscribers, click here for access. 

It’s magic. And it will work until the system becomes so overleveraged that it breaks. We saw the first shot across the bow in recent weeks. Non-subscribers, click here for access. 

I would only amend this to say that the more T-bills the Treasury issues, the more bullish it is, potentially, because dealers, banks, hedge funds and money market funds must make a proactive decision to employ that tactic. If they turn cautious, which I seem to recall happening a couple of times in ancient history, then the T-bill issuance can become a safe haven holding rather than collateral for increased speculation. Non-subscribers, click here for access. 

That’s the transition for which we must always be alert. There’s nothing concrete pointing that way yet. However, in July we noted that we reached an extreme of hysteria on some measures that could be the precursor to an attitude adjustment. Here’s where that stands, and what to do about it, as of right now. Non-subscribers, click here for access.

The Market Still Blows

Lee Adler

We had a little power outage and loss of internet connectivity here in my neighborhood in Warsaw during the premarket hours that resulted in this delayed posting. Meanwhile, the market shows no sign of a power outage. The 6-month cycle second wind shows little sign of abating. Here are the new higher targets, and signs to look for.  Non subscribers click here to access.

More Power Please

Lee Adler

My usual Monday morning market update will be delayed today due to a power outage where I’m currently staying in Warsaw, Poland. The electricity just came back on after about a 2-hour outage that impacted the immediate neighborhood. I’m able to connect here via the phone but do not yet have internet connectivity for my computer, I was about halfway through this morning’s report when disaster struck.

I do apologize for the delay and I will be posting the report as soon as I’m able to reconnect via the computer.

Thanks hopefully I will be able to get something out to you very soon.

Swing Trade Screen Picks – We Caught the Turn

Lee Adler

Last week, we got a break, and the timing was good. Now is the time to let it ride, and adjust at the margins.

As of August 19, the list had an average gain of + 5.0% on an average holding period of 17 calendar days. That was up from +1.9% on an average holding period of 11 calendar days, the week before. The list grew by 15 new picks to 21 to start last week. That compares with just 6 picks two weeks ago. This week will start with 17 open picks.

Current screens yielded 483 short-term buys and 133 short-term sells. After applying long term trend structure and intermediate term filters, I whittled those down to 11 buys whose charts I reviewed, and 17 sells. I added one of each to the list.
