Victor Sperandeo Warns A 1987-Style Crash Is Coming & Says Hold Gold

from KingWorldNews:
The stock market was recently at a high and yet there was no strong volume on the buy side. You had late-comers who were weak-handed holders of stock. And because there is no volume, any kind of news can set off a decline.

The Fed may pretend not to care about commodity inflation because they say commodities go up and down, but if you look at the long term, they don’t. Commodities go up. Regardless, the Fed does look at wages as an important indicator of inflation, and they will not like that Employment Cost Index number.

Personally the food ban is going to do nothing except to hurt their own citizens by driving up the cost of food there but it has just knocked a huge chunk of profitability out of the pockets of US livestock producers.
Here are the cattle and hog charts. You can see the carnage that the ban has produced. August cattle are limit down. Feeders were down the limit but have managed to bounce slightly. There is some buying coming into the August fats as it pops off the limit but selling remains heavy at the moment.  (more)
