Powell delivered

Yesterday confirmed the risk-on turn in S&P 500 and beyond as Powell didn‘t spook the markets in the end. So, not even a temporary setback, let alone crash that many others had been calling for. Face ripper rallies stretching from stocks, bonds, over to precious metals, base metals and even oil (so contingent upon what‘s going on in China) ensued.

This sharp increase in volume doesn‘t hint at more than a tactical pullback at best – with risk-on bonds firmly confirming the rally, and the dollar again losing altitude. Some recap of the fresh daily levels - don‘t be disappointed if we don‘t make it to 4,130 today, the progress already has been excellent, and no market goes up in a straight line. Volume confirms.

Let‘s move right into the key chart.

Gold, Silver and miners

Precious metals and miners cast the best light on the current phase of the monetary policy cycle. Bright days are arriving, and silver will lead. Potentially to $27 before Apr 2023 is over.
