Equity Rally Continues; Gold Fails To Break Out

By Kitco News / February 16, 2018 / www.kitco.com / Article Link

U.S. equities are trying fortheir sixth consecutive up day, cutting the panic losses in half. This rally isabout a phony as one can be, with the fear of missing out driving this markethigher. The debt is mounting, as is the U.S. dollar manipulation, which islending support to some of the commodities, especially gold.

Overnight gold attempted to breakout above the recent highs but failed. Gold is on a five-day rally since makinga low at $1,309. Expectations are this rally will fail and a test of $1,300will be next. The current rally appears to be driven by short covering. Theonly support to this rally is the cheap dollar and the excessive shorts.

Our expectations are for anequity and gold sell-off. The recent lows in both gold and equities are indanger of being violated. This rally should fail, and an acceleration back tothe lows is on tap.
