Gold is getting its revenge. Try as he might Mr. Tariff Man can’t dominate all the headlines all the time. Everyone once in a while something more important than the Trump Man-Baby Show should take center stage.
Gold has moved more than $50 in just under three trading sessions, blowing past near term resistance and, more importantly, reminding everyone just how quickly the reserve asset of the world economy can call bullshit on the proclamations and machinations of the morons who think they run the world.
You always know when you’re reaching the end of a bear market.
Last week I tweeted out:
I think we're reaching Peak Gold Bearishness. If the dollar is an attractive safe-haven asset, which it isn't, just a necessary evil after a decade of ZIRP, then of course this will weigh on gold. That doesn't mean demand isn't there.https://t.co/uUkdjInbdO

When an analyst at Wells is looking at the day-to-day ticker of gold looking for silly and binary safe haven arguments to warn people off of gold, I know we’re nearly there.
This isn’t a complacent market. In fact, as I’ve pointed out in the past, it’s an incredibly volatile one.
You don’t have to be a whiz with numbers, or worse a quant working for a central bank, to see the differences here.
And the reason for this massive increase in volatility across all asset classes is Trump’s insistence on tariffs being the cure all for what ails America’s trade ‘imbalances.’
Not convinced by the Dow? How about the change in the U.S. Yield Curve over the past year.
