Goldseek Radio, Released on 12/7/17

Highlights:

• With the holidays just around the corner, Dan Norcini, a.k.a., Trader Dan returns with his outlook on the commodities sector.
• He follows the money flows to decipher investor sentiment, such as the Carry-trade that involves the USD/Yen.
• When the index is weak, sentiment is viewed as risk-on, favoring gold and silver; when the USD/Yen index is strong, the risk-off trade favors US equities.
• The accompanying chart indicates that investors turned to gold in 2016 while avoiding US shares, as the USD/JPY ratio declined.
• The theme reversed in 2017 as the USD/JPY firmed (figure 1.1).
• The host notes that the relationship breaks down out of sample, such as the 2008 credit crisis (figure 1.2.).
• Alternatively, the 50 period MA in the weekly chart or 200 period MA in the daily chart on S&P yields a nearly perfect relationship out of sample (figure 1.3.).
• In addition, the Commitment of Traders report (COT) offers clues by revealing the positions of the big players.
• Our guest outlines specific indicators for the silver market, including the notable correlation with the CRB index.
