Those are short term gyrations unless you mean we will wipe out
0000 points on monday back to 10500....Lot of bears keep whining
about debt. You guys just dont understand how worse it is in rest
of the world barring few countries
arun, The stock market has nothing to do with the economy. Buy
the rumor, sell the news on the debt ceiling. The move up has been
corrective. A running flat is still a corrective move. PSAR
trailing stop is at 13368-ish. I expect it to be approached next
week. 13407 to 13382 is the support that must hold on /NQ.
I am not good at playing the musical chairs near the top. I
prefer to gobble at the bottom on sale. Good luck to you!
Speaking of gold, what am I missing here? Rumors that the
debt ceiling will be raised should be bullish for gold. After
all it just means the US will borrow more...or in symbolic terms,
"print money". Similarly, if the debt ceiling is not raised
and the US defaults, the dollar will drop and the value of gold
should rise. In either scenario gold should be strong...and
yet it's not. What am I missing?

Borrowing more and printing money are not the same thing. Two
different balance sheets in play - Fed and Treasury. It's easy to
conflate the two, but not accurate.
Gold does not rise because more money has been printed. Gold
does not rise when confidence in USD is present as a store of
value. Rising inflation will change that!
The difference is due to international buyers of debt. High
yield on USD attracts international buyers. With gold, the dynamic
is the opposite: Western Central Bank need to buy gold even more
than the rest of the world. Are they buying it yet? That is the
question. They are not selling because they have already sold
everything they could.

QE wouldn't be a thing

QE wouldn't be a thing if borrowing and money printing were synonymous.

The correlation between the dollar
Posted by junkie on 18th of May 2023 at 02:04 pm
The correlation between the dollar and gold does not work any more since 1/1/23, at least. Paper gold ended on that date. It is a short squeeze since.
Edi: /GC holds above $1950 because Central banks are buying on dips. All of them. So far only Central banks.
