04 Aug: SILVER

Silver has a special place in the history of the elements because it is one of the first five metals discovered and used by humans. Silver is a soft, ductile, malleable, lustrous metal. It has the highest electrical and thermal conductivity of all metals. Silver is stable in oxygen and water, but tarnishes when exposed to sulfur compounds in air or water to form a black sulfide layer.

24 Jul: WTI/DXY Ratio

WTI:DXY comparison chart is one of my favorite macro crude oil charts to look at because it provides a true GLOBAL price of oil adjusted to an entire basket of currencies, not just USD itself.  Once we take a look at the chart above we see just how RARE this drop is on a relative basis.  To put it in perspective, the WTI during $147 peak was 205% the DXY, and now it is just 12%!! (8% at the lows if you count that)…. needless to say this is a generational low.  the bigger issue is its running out of downside room so the bottom is approaching soon…

04 Jun: WTI/GOLD Ratio

WTI:GOLD comparison chart is one of my favorite macro crude oil charts to look at because it provides a true GLOBAL price of oil adjusted to an entirely outside the entire world of currencies, not just USD itself!  Once we take a look at the chart above we see just how RARE this drop on crude price in Gold bars is on a relative basis… needless to say this is a generational low.  the bigger issue is its running out of downside room so the bottom is approaching soon…

01 Jan: WTI Daily

West Texas Intermediate (WTI) is a light, sweet crude oil that serves as one of the main global oil benchmarks. It is sourced primarily from inland Texas and is one of the highest quality oils in the world, which is easy to refine. WTI is the underlying commodity for the NYMEX’s oil futures contract. WTI is known as a light sweet oil because it contains around 0.34% sulfur, making it “sweet,” and has a low density (specific gravity), making it “light.”1

01 Jan: Gold Daily

Gold is a chemical element with the symbol Au (from Latin: aurum) and atomic number 79, making it one of the higher atomic number elements that occur naturally. In a pure form, it is a bright, slightly reddish yellow, dense, soft, malleable, and ductile metal. Chemically, gold is a transition metal and a group 11 element. It is one of the least reactive chemical elements and is solid under standard conditions. Gold often occurs in free elemental (native) form, as nuggets or grains, in rocks, in veins, and in alluvial deposits.
