It has become so predictable. CPI comes in double expectations. Inflation is totally out of control and definitely not transitory. So what does gold and silver do. Drop like a rock going over a cliff. And I am not surprised. I expected the hotter than expected CPI(not a double) I also said late last week to expect higher gold and silver on Monday(not much of a pop) and the usual Tuesday takedown. The spin that will be used to explain the counter intuative action, will be some combination of , the FED will have to acknowledge the hotter than expected inflation(they will while still not abandoning the “transitory” nonsense) and the prospect of earlier tapering is strengthening the dollar, so that is bearish for gold and silver. Low risk buying opportunity. Tuesday only lasts for 24 hours, this final takedown probably won’t.
