While the “Two Themes” for 2022 continue to play out, we wait for the inevitable, “Black Swan” Weekend. It makes the most sense that when it does happen, it will be on one of the North American Monday holiday’s scheduled throughout the year. While Asia and Europe begin the cascade, New York doesn’t join in until Tuesday, accelerating whatever stock crash and metal surge previously begun around the globe. Maybe, this weekend’s holiday or maybe February’s President’s Day one. Take your pick, it is just a matter of time! Currently, the two themes are not correlated. When an exogenous shock hits and the panic is on to get out of everything else, that’s when the money will flow into gold and silver. We watch and we wait.
