Gold Tapering Hysteria (by Adam Hamilton)

 

    November 22, 2013     3016 Words

Already beleaguered, gold suffered another sharp drop this week.  When the minutes from the Federal Reserve’s latest policy meeting implied it might slow its QE3 bond-buying campaign “in coming months”, futures speculators responded with heavy selling.  But their extreme gold bearishness is highly irrational, they are missing the forest for the trees.  Taper or not, quantitative easing remains super-bullish for gold.

Quantitative easing is the fancy name for the Fed’s massive and unprecedented bond-buying programs of recent years.  In order for normal investors to buy bonds, they first have to raise the necessary cash by selling something else.  But when central banks like the Fed buy bonds, they conjure the cash out of thin air!  The Fed pays the bond sellers with new money that never existed before, which is then immediately spent.

Thus throughout world history the benign-sounding “quantitative easing” was always known by its far-more-sinister label of debt monetization.  Central banks literally convert their local government’s debt into new money, which is pure inflation.  Governments “finance” their excessive spending by selling their bonds to their central banks for newly-printed money, which the governments directly inject into their economies.

This ultimately results in relatively more money bidding for relatively less goods and services, which inevitably bids up general price levels.  There is nothing more inflationary than central banks monetizing debt, which is why it is so incredibly bullish for gold.  Due to the inherent limitations of gold mining, the global gold supply perpetually grows vastly slower than the central banks’ endless supplies of fiat money.

The Federal Reserve embarked on the slippery slope of debt monetization in late 2008.  It had forced its benchmark interest rate to zero in response to that year’s once-in-a-century stock panic.  So without any more conventional easing possible, it decided to print money to buy debt for the first time in its history.  And now todayfully 5 years later, it has shown no signs of stopping despite endless promises to the contrary.

And indeed the money supply has soared since.  Between mid-December 2008 when the Fed launched its zero-interest-rate policy (ZIRP) to today, the M1 money supply is up 68%!  That’s why everything we all need to live is much more expensive today than it was 5 years ago.  There are far more dollars chasing the goods and services our economy offers, which have bid up their price levels significantly to greatly.

This includes the gold price, the ultimate inflation barometer.  In the week leading into the Fed’s decision to punish savers with ZIRP, gold was trading near $800.  Less than a few years later it challenged $1900, and even today remains far higher than the pre-QE days.  During the first quantitative-easing campaign’s lifespan gold surged 51% higher, and in QE2 it rallied another 25%.  Yet gold has withered under QE3.

The Fed birthed QE3, which is destined to be the Fed’s largest debt monetization ever, in September 2012.  The day before gold was trading around $1730.  This week just 14 months later, it is down 28% over QE3’s lifespan.  Is gold’s horrendous performance so far in QE3 because it really isn’t inflationary?  No way.  All the newly-created money the Fed uses to monetize debt continues to balloon its balance sheet.

When the Fed buys bonds, those bonds appear as assets on its balance sheet.  The Fed rather helpfully publishes extensive data on its holdings weekly, which this first chart chronicles.  Within the orange total balance sheet, this data is stacked.  The red Treasury holdings are on top of the yellow mortgage bonds.  The most striking thing in this chart is the gargantuan growth in the Fed’s balance sheet during QE3.

In September 2012 just before the Fed launched its unprecedented open-endedthird quantitative-easing campaign, its balance sheet was at $2798b.  This was already very high, as it had only averaged around $875b in 2008 before the stock panic.  But the Fed joined in panicking, going nuclear with ZIRP and then QE in a matter of months.  And the Fed’s massive debt-monetization campaigns have rarely paused since.

After QE3 being expanded to include Treasury monetizations last December, the Fed has been buying up bonds with newly-created money at a blistering $85b-per-month pace.  This has catapulted the Fed’s balance sheet to $3822b as of this week, up a staggering $1024b or 37% over QE3’s lifespan!  Does it make any sense at all for gold to plunge 28% in just over a year where the Fed’s balance sheet soared 37%?

Absolutely not!  The deluge of selling gold has suffered this year is extraordinarily, epically irrational in light of what the Fed is doing with QE3.  Other than that emergency initial spike in late 2008, the Fed’s balance sheet has never grown faster than it has over this past year.  All the new money it is creating to buy bonds is exploding the money supplies, pure inflation.  Gold’s price should be sharply higher over this span.

Yet just the opposite has happened, gold has plunged as debt monetization soared.  One of the primary reasons is the way American futures speculators are hystericallyreacting to the Fed.  Rather than watch what it does, they are fixated on what it says.  And for the entire short history of QE3, the Fed has fallen all over itself trying to convince the financial markets that QE3 will soon end.  Each time gold futures get dumped.

This whole exercise has been a ludicrous farce right from the beginning.  After launching QE3 at its September 2012 meeting, the Fed more than doubled its scale to include Treasuries just a few months later in December.  As always, that Federal Open Market Committee meeting’s minutes were released 3 weeks later in early January.  That was the first time gold got hit this year on the endless QE3-taper talk.

At the very meeting where QE3 was expanded with a nearly-unanimous 11-to-1 vote, there was already internal discussion on when to end QE3!  So futures speculators heavily sold gold contracts, rightfully figuring that lower future inflation was less bullish for gold.  But ever since 2013’s initial release of FOMC minutes, the idea that the Fed is debating when to slow and eventually end QE3 has been old news.

The Fed’s FOMC meets 8 times annually, so there are 8 FOMC statements released per year each followed several weeks later by the meetings’ minutes.  This works out to some major Fed release about once every 3 weeks.  And at every subsequent meeting after QE3 was expanded to include Treasuries, the FOMC members continued to debate how and when to exit QE3.  It was never going to be permanent.

Yet American futures speculators continued to dump gold aggressively each time the Fed rehashed this old news that QE3 would eventually end.  A couple months ago I superimposed FOMC decision and minutes dates over a gold chart, and the result is striking.  Nearly all gold’s sharp and anomalous selloffs this year are the direct result of futures traders reacting to what the Fed is saying.  They keep freaking out!

This response is absurdly irrational.  Since early January it has been crystal-clear that QE3 wouldn’t last forever, yet each time the Fed repeats that heavy gold selling follows.  This week’s is the latest example.  Yet despite Fed officials’ constant jawboning that they have to slow and stop QE3 soon, it just keeps on chugging ahead at full steam.  The Fed’s balance sheet continues to balloon as it aggressively inflates.

A common proverb we all learn at a relatively young age is “talk is cheap”.  People promise to do things all the time, from our friends to politicians to Fed officials.  Yet if they don’t carry through on those promises, we quickly discount their credibility.  Thus the older and wiser we get, the more we tend to focus on what people doinstead of what they say.  Fed officials have been promising QE ending soon since early 2009!

By irrationally fixating on the endless Fedspeak that never comes to fruition, futures speculators are missing the forest for the trees.  Since early January, despite every FOMC meeting and minutes since, despite the long parade of Fed officials suggesting otherwise, the Fed’s balance sheet has continued to grow at a frightful pace as it continues to monetize debt.  It’s high time futures traders start paying attention.

QE1 was gigantic, totaling $1750b of Fed bond buying with newly-conjured money.  Yet only $300b of that included direct Treasury monetizations, the purest form of inflation.  Thanks to Obama’s insane record deficit spending and debt growth, every dollar the Fed has created to buy Treasuries has been immediately spent by Washington.  All this money injected directly into the US economy is bidding up price levels.

Gold powered 51% higher during QE1, a universal acknowledgement by all market participants including futures speculators that QE is highly inflationary.  QE2 was much smaller than QE1, totaling $900b of debt monetizations.  But while all of this was in US Treasuries, only $600b was inflationary new buying.  Yet this was still twice the size of QE1’s total Treasury monetizations, so gold still powered another 25% higher.

Despite an entire year of Fed officials falsely promising that QE3 would end soon, it has become utterly massive.  As of the end of this month, the Fed will have monetized $560b of mortgage-backed bonds and $495b of Treasuries!  This means QE3 is already $1055b, dwarfing QE2 and giving QE1 a run for its money.  Its $495b of direct Treasury buying is way higher than QE1’s $300b and rapidly approaching QE2’s $600b.

And no matter what the Fed does, QE3 is going to get a lot bigger still!  All the Fed officials’ bloviating all year long has made one thing very clear, the FOMC is terrified slowing QE3 will have an adverse market impact.  I discussed the risks of this in depth back in September just before the Fed was universally expected to start tapering QE3.  Of course the Fed chickened out and failed to keep its implied promises, again.

But back in mid-June, the Fed chairman laid out a best-case QE3-tapering timeline.  One thing the Fed has emphasized over and over again is the end of QE3 will begradual to minimize the risk of spooking the markets.  Ben Bernanke’s plan called for QE3’s new bond purchases gradually being reduced to zero over a 9-month span.  I strongly suspect no matter when QE3 tapering starts, it will take about 9 months.

Assuming an even taper pace, those 9 months will each average half of QE3’s current $85b per month of buying, or $42.5b.  That’s another $383b or so baked in on top of QE3’s already-gigantic $1055b size.  This puts QE3 up to $1438b, starting to challenge QE1.  And every month that the start of QE3 tapering is delayed increases its total size by $85b.  Even a December-meeting taper would leave QE3 at $1523b!

The more-likely March meeting, the first under the new Fed chairman, would mushroom QE3 to $1778b.  This exceeds QE1 absolutely, and the Treasury portion of QE3 alone would be $878b.  This is almost as big as the new Treasury monetizations in QE1 and QE2 combined!  And many analysts believe Janet Yellen, who is far more Keynesian and dovish than Ben Bernanke, will keep buying bonds much longer.

No matter when the Fed starts tapering QE3, this debt-monetization campaign is going to be massive beyond belief.  And even after QE3 eventually ends, it is not like the Fed is going to instantly sell its trillions of dollars of bonds.  To do so would crash the Treasury market and send yields and general interest rates skyrocketing.  Instead the Fed will simply let all the bonds it bought naturally mature and gradually roll off.

This is going to take many years.  Way back in QE1, the Fed purchased $200b in agency debt (Fannie and Freddie bonds).  It hasn’t purchased any more since.  Yet look how slowly this green category is naturally rolling off the Fed’s balance sheet.  The Treasuries are going to take considerably longer, as they have longer maturities since the Fed is by its own admission explicitly manipulating long rates.

The chart above shows how slowly Treasuries rolled off in the lulls between QE1 and QE2, and then QE2 and QE3.  The point is even when QE3 eventually ends, the Fed’s balance sheet is going to remain extremely high for many years to come.  All of this monetary inflation will remain in the economy in the meantime, continuing to keep price levels high.  The trillions of QE will take years to unwind after QE3 ends.

So the goofy futures speculators dumping gold every time the Fed or some Fed official implies the FOMC might start slowing QE3 soon is the height of irrationality.  QE3 is massive beyond belief, and still growing full-speed.  QE3 will keep expanding the Fed’s balance sheet even as it is tapered, and all this inflation will remain baked into the economy for many years to come until all the bought bonds slowly mature.

There is a strong case to be made that gold prices already fully adjusted to reflect a QE3 tapering back in early January, when they were still trading around $1650.  All the futures selling since has been the result of emotion, totally hysteric.  And the resulting gold-price anomaly grows even more extreme with each passing month as the Fed keeps QE3 fully online, ensuring its ultimate size will be that much larger.

QE3 is almost certainly going to prove the biggest inflationary event in the Fed’s century-long history, wildly bullish for gold.  One of the surest bets anyone can make is that gold prices will be much higher when QE3 ends than they were when it began.  And since that benchmark is way up around $1730, gold is going to have to regain much ground.  Futures speculators buying again will drive this upleg’s early gains.

While we’re on this Fed thread, there’s something even more important than QE for gold’s future, ZIRP.  The Fed has been holding interest rates at zero since late 2008, and Fed officials are now saying ZIRP may stay in place well into 2017, long after QE presumably ends.  Keeping short rates so artificially low guarantees negative real interest rates, the most bullish monetary environment possible for gold.

I’ve written many essays on negative real rates and gold, the latest exactly a year ago.  ZIRP bludgeons down short Treasury yields, including the benchmark 1-year Treasury Bill yield used in the real-rate calculation.  From it the year-over-year change in the chronically-understated US Consumer Price Index is subtracted, revealing real rates.  They are going to remain negative for as long as the Fed maintains ZIRP.

Gold’s current secular bull was born in early 2001 because real interest rates were heading into negative territory due to Fed interest-rate manipulations.  Negative real rates guarantee that bond investors will lose purchasing power after inflation, making gold far more attractive.  Thus gold tends to power higher as long as real rates remain negative.  Secular gold bulls don’t end until real rates spike massively positive.

It took real rates above 6% to kill the 1970s secular gold bull.  And even with the absurdly-low and totally fictional 1.0% inflation rate the CPI is claiming today, the Fed would have to hike short rates near 7% to see similar real rates again.  I can’t imagine that happening in the next decade, let alone the coming years!  This gives gold’s current secular bull years left to run before the Fed starts thinking about ending ZIRP.

And at best in today’s secular bull, gold was merely up 7.4x by mid-2011.  That compares to a whopping 24.3x in the 1970s secular bull!  We have yet to see the gold popular mania that is necessary to kill a secular bull, and the Fed’s massively-inflationary easy-money policies will certainly contribute to its eventual arrival.  ZIRP is at least as bullish for gold as QE, and history argues it may be even more so.

So don’t worry about the myopic American futures speculators freaking out every time the Fed says it ought to slow and end QE3 soon.  Futures’ extreme leverage forces these guys to have trading time horizons measured in days or weeks, they can’t see the forest for the trees.  But eventually they will figure out that they should watch what the Fed is doing rather than merely saying, and they will flood back into gold.

We’ll be ready at Zeal.  This year has been the most brutal imaginable for the entire precious-metals realm, painfully testing the mettle of all contrarian investors and speculators.  Most have given up and capitulated, leaving gold, silver, and especially their miners’ stocks absurdly cheap.  No one is left but the bears, who have foolishly convinced themselves gold is going to spiral lower forever despite enormous QE.

But this is the time to buy low, with the streets drenched in blood.  We publish acclaimed weekly and monthly newsletters for contrarians, that follow the stock markets and precious metals and everything that drives them.  We buy low when others are afraid then later sell high when others are brave, gradually growing rich in the process.  Join us and put our hard-won experience, knowledge, wisdom, and ongoing research to work for you.  Subscribe today before everyone else figures out how cheap gold is!

The bottom line is gold’s recurring selloffs this year each time the Fed announces QE3 isn’t going to run forever are the height of hysteria.  This is old news, and the gold price had already adjusted to that reality way back in early January.  All the selling since was emotional, driven by unsustainable hyper-bearishness.  Sooner or later excitable American futures speculators will start watching what the Fed does.

They will realize QE3 is massive beyond belief, with enormous direct Treasury monetizations.  They will grasp that the tapering process will take many months to unfold once started, during which the Fed’s balance sheet will continue growing.  And they will understand that it will take many years for QE to gradually unwind through maturing bonds.  Then they will return to gold with a fervor few can imagine.

Random Thoughts

It all fell into the place

No

I am not talking about stock market and trading at large although market related post by Tim Knight and general complains about getting old by Schlope’s crowd triggered it.

 

MarketSniper said: “It is not fun to get old”…

and I, all of a sudden thought WHAT is different for me as I am getting old…er

 

I stopped being ashamed … let me explain

Even though people who don’t know me (and some who do) can generally describe me as a (at the very least) person very difficult to be with (due to various reasons) – I am a very low profile person. I have been giving to the charity a lot, and not just “few things” or “.0005%, but .. a lot… less fortunate no matter what caused it (except for laziness which I have in myself for all the people together therefore I cannot justify it in anyone else) need our compassion… I have never “fund raised” – I just was giving – I am not going to take it to the grave with me and, unfortunately, I will NOT pass it on to my child … that will do no good…

 

So, I always had that shame – live better than someone else … I kept leaving tips amounted to the price of the food itself (how stupid of me) and .. I did not like to spend too much on pleasure … women aside … that I could never resist – my next project – 3-5 weeks combo of the cruise and South America with a long friend of mine who is almost 30 years younger than I.

 

Back to the point I am trying to make.

 

As I get older and start to realize that there is not much quality life left … I enjoy fine things in life more. Now I am not ashamed of $80 rib eye steak I just had … I know that I will not have too many more, or at least, might not be able to continue to enjoy it.

 

What the hell am I saying … enjoy your lives, you live only once, do good, but never forget about yourselves…

SPX hourly update

My speculation
on what might happen to SPX short term played out quite well

 

below it today’s chart – I will start going short on any hourly close above 1796.41, but bear in mind there is an ongoing TDSellSetup and possible completion might be around noon time

 

 

GDX

 

 

And on weekly it is around wave 3 target – might retest prior lows and bounce strongly.

 

Need to stop posting ideas on the “other” sites /NG

Posted on Slope of Hope yesterday:

 

anyone looking at /NG long at these levels?  http://screencast.com/t/UVCy9ekzmzoC http://commentsys.slopeofhope.com/go.php?c=1586861

Gave up free trading idea that produced $1000 per contract for free and no appreciation

 

 

same chart one day later

 

Silver might be on the way to my $12 target

 

 

But before it will ever happen - $19.40 might just provide substantial bounce

Eyeing to reopen /CL long (perfect entry is that rectangle area)

 

and re-enter short /es between 1796-1804

 

TNX /ZN AKA Tenure AKA Ten Year Note

 

 

 

On August 10th 2013 I wrote:

Its hitting weekly TDST/TDRL levels – going to take some time to consolidate for further move up.

One of the seldom cases when I was 100% correct (just laughing at myself before anyone going to think nonsense like “that perma bear is always wrong”, but the funny part would be that things like that would be an identifier that it is perma bulls thinking that)

 

I just try to trade and to make money and I use charts because I do not care about “valuations, economy, politics” and when I, in the moment of temporary insanity start to read about “government shutdown” and think it might change ANYTHING in the stock market (due to productive output being cut or less wages being … which were back paid and in some states allowed a-holes to keep unemployment with paycheck …) I am getting hit hard right where it matters – my accounts.

 

I wonted to do video, but yesterday’s Colorado Rib steak at Smith & Wollensky at Midtown and following bottle of Remy XO which I thoroughly enjoyed and following after cognac part which I enjoyed almost as much as steak and cognac … you know, I am single and truly enjoy being single and all that comes with it – such as being able to find things where they are and keep that stupid wagon wheel coffee table right where it is. (not to mention never having to hear: “Honey you are perfect – now CHANGE”)

 

 

 

So, back to the charts we go, but just a quick note on the market exuberance first:

 

Despite all the hype over 2013’s long string of record highs, they are merely nominal.  When adjusted for inflation, the SPX’s March 2000 peak was over 2100 in today’s dollars.

 

 

That being said..here is a bigger picture on 10 years note – monthly chart

It it (still – no matter how much bears would want to say otherwise) – is in undisputable uptrend, serious attempt was made to break “grey ascending channel” in September 2013, but price quickly retreated back above channel’s lower line.

 

 

At the same time – there is another channel in existence, descending “gold channel” and that Sep 2013 attempt to break away from grey descending channel hit my favorite “breakout confirmation .33%” line ( Long time ago that .33 was pointed out to Trading to Win gang by PRSGuitars member)

 

In short – monthly chart does not really hint on direction other than continuation of uptrend … again, no matter what bonds vigilantes want you to think, no matter how much money was withdrawn from bond founds the truth is:

 

DOWNTREND HAS NOT STARTED YET

or, let me rephrase:

downtrend has not been confirmed.

 

 

WEEKLY CHART

 

There is a possible Inverted Head and Shoulder in development here.

 

Blue line coincidentally is right at midline of the Gold descending channel and RED line is almost at the Grey Ascending Channel lower line.

Sep 2013 reversal happened at .33 line of Gold channel and 13 TDCountdown.

 

As of where the price is right now – there is NO trade, unless BLUE or RED lines are violated. That is a “traditional” approach based on charts’ patterns.

 

DAILY CHART

 

As you see bounce off Grey channel lower line and RED neckline happened on TDSetupBuy9 – it is too late for the trade here and it is not plausible to expect that TDST line at 127’245 will contain move up – during the Setup itself volatility spike caused it to be touched and normally the second touch breaks TDST line …. normally. In this case it will be also the break of Blue H&S line

IF that is what will happen – there might be good long trade coming up on the break of TDST which might lead all the way to the top of Gold channel.

 

 

2 days interval

 

reinforces “long trade idea”. Why?

 

TDSetupBuy (green arrow) caused full move up to TDST and TDSetupSell only caused 30% retrace down. Next – TDRL at 127’245 (which is coincidentally TDST for daily chart) interrupted up move, but looks like it did not stop it.

 

 

And last is 4 hours interval chart.

Diamond is possible which is reversal patter, but performance is truly mediocre.

So, why then I bring 4 hours chart up? It tidy up possible trade entries.

LONG entry – on break of TDRL @127’020

or

SHORT on break of TDST @125’270 which is at the same time lower line of Grey Channel and quite close to RED H&S line

 

 

Sounds like a well defined trading plan to me…unbiased one :)

 

P.S. On the lower timeframes H&S might be forming off September 9th lows … we need to watch out for that as well…

Keep an open mind…

While waiting for Godot

How about taking energy short?

Throwing in a towel … ALMOST

 

daily The truth is I was about to, against my not so best judgment to finally give up on attempting to catch a top, but I just cannot go against my trading methods.

And weekly /ES chart points at a very good short entry as close to 1799.25 as possible (weekly TDRL)

So I set up an order to fill big /es short at 1798 and 1803

Rinse and repeat?

 

Went long /GC @1266 today at the lower trendline – HARD stop at today’s low (I believe gold will go to around 1100 – no need to be a hero on the long side)

 

 

 

Update on positions:

stopped out from /CL long (small position really) with slightly over a buck profit.

Short term – time to be bearish – for as long as top blue line is not penetrated to the upside (which will, in plain English spell - “bears – run for your life”) that magically is in the area of 1(777) – don’t you just love these weird numerological coincidences … bottom at 666 … top at  … ?

 

 

 

30 minutes chart shows that bounce started off 9 setup buy (don’t you just love when buy setups work like a fine tuned watch and sell setups just getting ignored … hate trends!)  and now SPX is at TDST. Could there be that Monday will be as unexpected for bulls as Friday was for most bears?

 

I will elaborate on my “it is starting to remind 1980” point of view in few days – I need it to sink into my head first..

Just a thought

The more I think about SPX in historical perspective, the more, for some reason, even though charts do not rhyme, I think 1980. If it holds water – I will be using any pullbacks to close short positions and will be putting on a “difficult trade” – long into Jan 2014 …

I am still thinking …

One thing I do know for certain – I am in doubts … and when in doubts we need to get out because it is the only way to clear the head and see things the way they are.

Not a time for the victory dance … yet

 

SPX broke down quite where it should, if not my impatience ( as always too early for no reason, none at all) and most likely next down target is 1690-1700 areas for SPX and /ES

As(s) we eagerly await the “greatest tech IPO of all times” that forever changed how idiots who are not capable of putting together phrase of more than 140 characters communicate I’d like to note that November 7th ( or 25th of October 1917 by the Julian or Old Style calendar ) is a sad date in history – the date when lower 99% of the country who have been mixed with dirt for years without any prospects for decent life (unwillingness to work for that is a different story even if there was work to be done for money) finally revolted and blood was shed-a lot of blood indeed. That who was nothing became everything… and then history repeated – it took slightly over 70 years, but nothing became nothing again and the biggest thieves in history of the world became magnates … Rothschilds, Carnegies, Kennedys … wait – that was in the different country … but it is all the same anyhow – the one who has not gotten caught is at the top of the world … until those who are nothing and have nothing to lose will kill them and temporary become everything … and… rinse and repeat

 

 

Will the IPO of this moronic invention mark the top of the market? The future will tell. What I can say – DOW printed TDSetupSell 9 today and the fact that when index of 30 biggest stocks composing Dow Jones Once Industrial Average did not explode in historic short covering concerns me deeply … may be not – it would concern me if I was long this market. No matter how “frustrating” it is I would better be bleeding my money on the short side than be caught by surprise having long positions.
