The Interventions Aren’t Working Any More

Panic is beginning to show up in the financial system.

As I noted earlier this week, rumors are swirling that a large, systemically important financial institution is being forced to liquidate its precious metal short positions. We get strong evidence of this from the CME Group which has suspiciously raised margins on precious metals futures trading for the SECOND time in one week (first on December 26 and again on December 31st).

The CME raises margins in this fashion whenever it begins to lose control of the precious metals market and is desperate to “flush out” a lot of positions. The fact it has done this TWICE in the last week alone suggests us someone “big” is likely on the wrong side of the precious metals trade.

The interventions aren’t working, either.

Despite these two margin hikes, precious metals continue to hold up. As I write this, silver is catching another bid. When you look at the chart the precious metal has held critical support at $64 per ounce multiple times. This indicates the current volatility is in fact a consolidation, NOT the end of the bull market.

I would also note that the Bank Index is beginning to collapse. Again, between this and the price action in precious metals, it appears “someone” big is in serious trouble behind the scenes.

Big Picture: precious metals are signaling something MAJOR is coming down the pike in our financial system. When even a large-scale liquidation can’t stop silver or gold from rallying you KNOW it’s time to back up the truck!

Those investors who are correctly positioned for this could generate life-changing returns.
