Bitcoin is the new Las Vegas for traders. Bitcoin has a lot of upside potential. Bitcoin’s can give four digit returns in the next twelve months. But risk of sharp price falls will test the nerve of traders. I do not see a sharp rise in gold prices at the moment. Wars will be needed for gold prices to zoom in the short term. Long term the gold bullish trend is intact. Spurt in bitcoin’s will prevent the super rise in industrial metals as well. Fundamentally industrial metals are bullish. The pace of rise of Industrial metals will reduce for the next six months. Full Story

Terrorism now reaches Colorado. Terrorism in the USA will prevent gold prices from a fall. Incoming US economic data releases suggest robust growth. Apart from the December interest rate hike, the chances of a March interest rate hike (by the Federal Reserve) will rise if October NFP comes in over 225,000. Political developments will shape the interest rate scenario. Everyone is calling global stock markets to correct, but the same is not happening. The longer it takes for global stock markets to correct, the chances of bubble formation will be there. Full Story

One of Italy’s twenty regions is calling for more autonomy from the state following a nonbonding referendum. Why? Because a government supported ‘rescue package’ caused the lifesavings of 200,000 savers to be wiped out during the implosions of Popolare di Vicenza and Veneto Banca. Since then the banks have been rescued in one way or another yet the impact of the collapse on individuals and small businesses is only just becoming clear. Full Story

Trump and his controversies prevented gold and silver from a collapse. Russian meddling in elections is the headline. Americans meddle in the elections of every nation. Might is right for the Americans. By naming Russia American politicians are just trying to justify their global war cost. Most of the war which America or NATO are fighting are fake. Key American news providers are the real fake news and not the other way around. Full Story

Traders will try to guess the pace of interest rate hikes next year through the FOMC meet and US October NFP this week. The December interest rate hike has already been factored in by the markets. I do not think that change in Federal Reserve chairman will alter the interest rate hike strategy for next year. There is no central bank chief in the world who can do a Volcker on interest rates and the economy. All central bank chiefs like bubbles to be formed. I do not expect more than four interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve in the next fifteen months. Full Story
