(01/31/09) - I'm in the process of writing and editing commentary for the charts below, it should be completed over this week-end.
This could be a very significant timeframe for the major financial and commodity markets. The equity and commodit markets are discounting disfunctional credit markets and a severe economic recession. The markets appear to be offering buy opportunities for a spring rally that could be intense if fueled by a collective inflationary psychology like that seen in the gold market.
While global demand for gold jewelry is rapidly declining gold prices are on a run-away mission fueled by unpresidented investor demand that assumes structural inflation will follow the massive global expansion money supplies and governmental obligations. ..I certainly agree with this inflationary viewpoint and so does history. What is occurring is the unbridled global growth of "governmental debt bubbles" which are dwarfing the financial risks of both the high-tech bubble and the housing bubble.
