Gold hit a big support level and rolling fibonacci bands support this level. If treasury bond yields hit a panic high yesterday,which I think happened we will at least have a slight softening of real interest rates for a while. banks can easily buy T Bonds with yields at this level and hold them for a while as they are financing at zero rates so they will be...
The chart of S and P shows a type of broadening formation. Looking at the way it behaved we can now calculate that we have slightly surpassed the 2020 February level from which we crashed if we consider the Dollar devaluation over the same period and convert the index into lets say Euros.

European banks have been much maligned and languishing for years. Some banks have been trading at yields of close to 6 per cent (UBS and BNP are good examples.) Despite the bad news and continued QE, banks in Europe even Deutsche seem to be forming long term bases. The bases seem to be rounding bottoms and despite the fact that I am not bullish in general the...
