TF Metals Report Blogs

It's a written "podcast" today but that's OK as there's not much going on anyway...at least as of this minute. The craziness ramps up quickly tomorrow, however, so let's get ready by checking the charts after what was a somewhat frustrating day in the Comex PMs.

And why was the day so...

OK, well, here we go. The new week begins today but where and how it ends by Friday is anybody's guess. So you know what that means? It's time for another Hat Contest!

Let's do this! The week ahead is as unpredictable as any we've seen of late. The US election, some key economic data,...

Just when you think you've seen it all, the BLSBS surprises to the downside and then brings with it some massive downward revisions to September and August. But of course, none of that can keep the POSX down so now, an hour later, both Comex PMs are struggling to hold on to their gains....

Today's economic data exacerbated what was already a down day in the Comex precious metals and that's no fun. But we're still up on the week...at least for now...so we'll try to navigate the day and get ready for another BLSBS Friday.

So, welcome to Thursday and just five days to go...

The U.S. election is just six days away and the fun and games continue. Like many of you, I'd rather just unplug everything and lock myself away like a hermit. However, life goes on and the madness is unavoidable so we might as well just deal with it.

Let's start with today's economic...

Welcome to Monday and the start of a very busy week. Very busy. So busy that it would be a good week to have a Hat Contest but I think I'll save that for next week...and the US election...instead. For this week, though, buckle in because it's going to be a very bumpy ride.

As with most...

So here we go with the first day of a new MacBook. Seems to be working fine. But the Old Man got used to how everything looked and how everything worked so it's going to take some getting used to. Good thing that there's an entire weekend ahead for me to fiddle around with it.

And here...

After a few months of subtle warnings, my trusty 2016 MacBook finally gave up the ghost this afternoon. As with any death, one always thinks that one has more time and the final demise often catches you off guard. And so it is with my MacBook. Gone but not forgotten.

So, I’m typing...

After yesterday's pullback, I figured that today would be an interesting day. Would prices bounce or would the selling continue? So far, we've gotten a bounce but there's still a lot of day left so let's not get ahead of ourselves.

To wit, in a while we get the flash PMIs for October...
