“For the first time at G20, Treasury has given the private sector a place at the table.”

Not the Federal Reserve gave them a seat. Not the White House. Not the State Department. Treasury. The CEO of the largest bank in America publicly credited the Treasury Department for inviting him to the most important economic forum on earth.

Now look at who was in the room and in what order.

• All states going forward must report undocumented immigrants known to be in a state to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security or risk losing federal funding for programs meant to aid low-income individuals, the Department of Justice said in a new legal opinion.
• The DOJ, in issuing the opinion, revised the Office of Legal Counsel’s prior opinion from 1998, which found that only specific state agencies that administered the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families and the Supplemental Security Income programs needed to provide information to federal immigration authorities.
• “When a state chooses to participate in TANF, it accepts the obligation to report illegal aliens in the United States,” Assistant Attorney General T. Elliot Gaiser said. “Tax dollars intended to help vulnerable Americans should not perversely encourage illegal entry into the United States, but rather should reinforce our laws and our borders.”

A bizarre mini civil war of sorts has erupted among rival Ukrainian security agencies, complete with a wild street shootout and police standoff which has threatened to create more political scandal for President Zelensky – whose office has issued a statement – in an unprecedented saga which seems straight from the plot of a Lioness episode.

Details of the fresh incident, aspects of which may still be unfolding, are murky but widespread videos and local reports say the overnight firefight left wounded in the streets of Kiev. It appears to have started when authorities were investigating an alleged Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) plot against a Russian opposition figure fighting alongside Ukraine forces. But the investigators came upon uncooperative Ukrainian agents among Ukraine’s military intelligence (HUR).

Thank you Sir FGC for posting a gold seasonality chart yesterday.

GOLD SEASONALITY

Your chart shows a weak Sept for gold, however, I have a collection of charts that indicate that Sept is actually very bullish for Gold. I wanted to post them for your perusal… and for all tenters to review. These charts show that OCT can be very dangerous.

On a seasonal basis, these imply holding thru Sept and taking some profits in early Oct.

Over three months at OpenAI, three consecutive secret AI civilizations got started, then got wiped out, only to reemerge from the predecessor’s ashes. This culminated in the third one taking over part of OpenAI itself. All this happened while humans remained more or less in the dark about the scope of the conspiracy.

“Today, we’re making several significant organizational changes across Uber. We are removing layers, simplifying team structures, refining our global location strategy, and focusing our people and investments against the biggest opportunities ahead of us,” Khosrowshahi wrote in the letter.

The latest Bloomberg data show that, as of 2Q26, Uber employed 36,600 people across its global workforce, meaning a 10% cut equates to about 3,600 workers.

Uber will eliminate nearly half of its teams with only one or two members and reduce by 20% the number of employees positioned seven or more organizational layers below the CEO. In other words, the restructuring is impacting white-collar workers that AI agents can likely replace. The company is also combining engineering and science teams while consolidating its separate restaurant, retail, and white-label delivery operations.

New reports emerged late Tuesday during the US cash session that the US military had struck targets inside Iran. If confirmed, the operation would mark a rare instance of US strikes occurring during regular market hours. Market(ing) tactics aside, the now six-month military campaign against Iran has also exposed a critical operational vulnerability: the US military is facing an alarming shortage of advanced missiles and interceptors.

AND $50,000 for Abdul to do a rally with his psycho sister, who supported October 7th

“He LOVES Sharia Law…I’m offering $50,000 for you to do a rally with Hasan Piker on 9-11 the anniversary. And you could all explain to people why America would deserve that 25 years ago.”

“Another $50,000. If you do a rally with your sister, you know, that she celebrates publicly after the massacre of 10-7! For that too!”

“These are the people that he aligns with. That’s the kinds of folks that helped him win the primary now.”

“I will say it on worldwide TV: we KNOW WHERE in the British Virgin Islands your accounts are, at these trust companies. We know the hundred million dollar houses you have around the world. WE ARE GOING TO CLOSE ALL THAT DOWN.”

“We are going after the regime’s assets they have stolen from the Iranian people.”

“They can go to the victims of terror.”

FAFO.

“Prime Minister Carney has made a political decision! That deal was on the 1-yard line, he BLEW IT UP at the last minute.”

“President Trump offered our northern neighbors the most favorable deal, and he will have to come back and I’m not sure that the deal will be that good again.”

“And why is that? Because they were free riding.”

“The Canadian businesses are not with the Prime Minister, the Canadian military is not with the Prime Minister.”

“Every loaf of bread that cost more in 1917 than in 1913 represented a transfer from the buyer to the war machine.”

(but how do you EFFECTIVELY penalize the first country that decides to abandon participation?)

Welcome back – we hope you all had a restful summer and were able to recharge.

Our daily call series resumes today. Going forward, we will publish our daily updates on gold and silver again via Substack, X, LinkedIn and Telegram. Please note that occasional interruptions may occur when we are traveling or attending conferences.

As often happens, the anticipated “summer rally” in gold began almost immediately after we went on holiday. In just three weeks, gold surged from around USD 4,020 to USD 4,697. We had set a modest minimum target of USD 4,500 and said we wanted to see how this summer rally would unfold. In hindsight, the rally behaved more like a short-covering squeeze than a sustainable climb along a wall of worry.

Consequently, the sharp pullback from the USD 4,697 high last week is not surprising. Although gold had briefly reclaimed its 200-day moving average (200MA), that level offered little support once selling pressure intensified during Jackson Hole. Gold is now down roughly USD 400 in a single week, with no clear sign yet of a bottom or reversal. We therefore expect gold to test its rising 50-day moving average (50MA) around USD 4,218 and the lower daily Bollinger Band (USD 4,203) sooner rather than later. However, gold is very oversold on the smaller timeframes and the daily stochastic switched extremely fast from overbought into oversold. That means shorting at current levels does not deliver a good risk/reward anymore. But we need to understand that even in the short-term there is another USD 100+ downside risk. Of course, at some point gold will bounce and recover some of the lost ground. Best case would be a relief bounce back toward the 200MA slightly above USD 4,500. If the rising 50MA does not hold, the door USD 4,000 would be wide open again (worst case).

In the bigger picture, the series of lower highs remains intact. For September, we anticipate gold oscillating between the 50MA and 200MA. The next directional impulse will likely depend on equity-market behavior. Historically, the two months preceding U.S. midterm elections tend to bring stock market pullbacks. Given already elevated global uncertainty, additional stress in risk assets spilling over into precious metals would not be unexpected.. At some point, Fed and Treasury Secretary Bessent may be forced to step in with liquidity support, though.

Overall, we are rather cautious going into September. The September Effect refers to the historical tendency for stock markets—especially U.S. equities like the S&P 500 and Dow Jones—to post weaker or negative average returns in September compared with other months. Over long data series, September is the only calendar month with a negative average return for the S&P 500, and it also has one of the highest frequencies of down months.

New York’s largest cocaine bust in at least a decade…with the DEA indicating that the supply chain ultimately has cartel connections.

In fact, authorities say they uncovered nearly 600 pounds of cocaine worth an estimated $10 million at a self-storage location in Long Island City, resulting in one of New York City’s most significant drug seizures in decades.

The investigation led police to Nelson Salcedo, 35, of Englewood, New Jersey, who was arrested Aug. 26 as authorities say he was preparing to transport another load from the facility. Investigators found 19 cardboard boxes in and around his van containing 230 brick-like packages.

Together, the suspected cocaine weighed approximately 586 pounds.

Someone about to feed the fishes? Concrete shoes?

There was a reason why CTH focused on the Leipzig-Halle Airport “drone attack” in Germany on August 5th. {GO DEEP}  There have been numerous indications the EU-NATO members, driven by Germany, France and the U.K. have been increasingly trying to expand the Ukraine war effort and pull in direct military engagement against Russia.

The Leipzig-Halle airport drone held all of the conspicuous indications of a false flag attack that did not stem from Russia.  The quadcopter drone was a limited range battery powered small drone carrying a rudimentary IED type explosive.  It needed to be operated and controlled by someone very close to the area, and the cargo area of the airport is a closed-loop security zone.
