π Closing Bell - Question of the Day
A central bank raising rates when inflation runs above target is acting to slow aggregate demand, not to directly lower the prices already reflected in the CPI basket.
Gold 4H:
Huge pullback (just when everyone was saying it wouldnt! funny how that goes...)
I am sizing up trades to the long side.

EdgeFinder improvement! Data that has new data coming soon will now highlight in red π
This is useful because it allows traders to see impending new information that could potentially change scores.
If you see several red text items, that could indicate a significant score change may be pending!
This has been requested by several dedicated EdgeFinder users, and I great appreciate the suggestions.
Have a wonderful weekend traders!

US 10-Year Yield Is Now Testing a Ceiling from 2023
The US 10-year yield is at 4.684, creeping higher as traders wait on Warsh at Jackson Hole this morning.
Yields broke out of the war-start zone near 3.80 to 4.00 and climbed the trendline the entire way, right into the resistance that has capped them since 2023. We are testing that level now.
Yields rose after the July meeting because Warsh was seen as not offering enough concrete steps on inflation. He is running a divided Fed. He has said 2% is his firm target, no question about it, and several officials share the inflation concern.
As for today, Warsh prefers less forward guidance, so this may not deliver much volatility. He is not going to foreshadow September. And as long as oil prices remain tamed, there's really no urgency to hike.
Hike odds are 35% for September, 75% by December. PCE held at 3.7%, above target for the 65th straight month.

VIX Now Sits Low as Retail Turns Sharply Bearish
Are we in a bubble? Most likely. Will it pop? I have no idea. But one chart to be mindful of is the VIX.
Is it low? Yes. It is at 14.43, sitting near the lows and well below the 200-day. A low VIX means markets grind higher, and that is exactly what they have done. But we all know what can happen if the VIX decides to wake up. Look at the March spike to 35 on this same chart.
Retail is not calm at all. The latest AAII survey has bearish sentiment at 44.4%, unusually high and above its average for 29 straight weeks. The bull-bear spread fell to negative 11.5%.
So you have very fearful investors, a very calm VIX, and indexes near record highs. Those three things do not usually sit together for long.

π Closing Bell - Question of the Day
QE works by the central bank directly lending money to businesses and consumers.
USDCAD Now Rejecting Resistance as the CAD Holds Its Ground
USDCAD, one of my favorite positions right now, is tapping into resistance that held nicely back in January 2026 and again in April. We tapped it and we are rejecting it as of now.
I want to see us stay below the 200-day. Right now we are just above it. But a close below it that holds would signal solid bear participation. I am targeting 1.3700 as a profit target, then trailing stops lower if it keeps trending.
The Canadian dollar is holding up quite nicely. It seems the market priced a worst case for Canada that is not showing up. Canada just posted its first current account surplus in four years, driven by record energy exports on higher oil. Despite all the tariff drama, the loonie is holding its own, and I like that relative strength.
I am broadly bearish on the dollar. EdgeFinder reads -8 on USD/CAD. Watch Jackson Hole and any Middle East headlines that could deter the trend.

Silver Analysis: Clear 70 and the 200-Day Is Likely Next
Silver is back on track for another solid day, turning green and up almost 2%. It had a brief pullback that didn't quite tap the previous resistance turned support.
If you clear 70, then likely you continue pushing higher into the 200-day, which is hovering around 72.37.
Despite slightly hotter than expected US inflation, concerns over debt continue to support demand for silver. Silver is reaching for those two-month highs. You also have bond yields tamed right now, not exploding higher, which is helping silver a bit.
The recent rally is really about dollar debasement worries after the Treasury boosted its bond buybacks.
You have Jackson Hole main event on Friday. We will look to Warsh for any new forward guidance. But the outlook for the precious metals here is pretty strong.

Why can a modest adverse currency move in a highly leveraged carry trade produce a loss that dwarfs months of accumulated carry income?

AUDUSD Hits a 12-Week High on Hot July Inflation
AUDUSD hit a 12-week high as hotter than expected July inflation fueled the risk of another rate hike.
Monthly CPI rose 1.0% in July against a 0.8% forecast. Annual eased to 3.5% from 3.8%, but stayed above the 3.3% expected. The trimmed mean, the RBA's preferred core measure, rose 0.5% against a 0.3% forecast, leaving annual core at 3.6%. Nonetheless RBA is seeing elevated inflation.
The monthly spike was driven by fuel, up 7.5% after three months of falling, on higher world oil prices. Remember, Australia is not a net-exporter like the U.S. I'd say that's the Middle East war showing up directly in the data. As long as oil stays elevated and the region stays unresolved, the RBA is on alert. Bullock said another hike is quite possible.
Hike odds jumped to 27% from 17%. February is priced at 80%.

Bitcoin Now Holds Above the 200-Day With Resistance Ahead
Bitcoin is sitting near its relative highs after spiking many percentage points this week. It is now tapping into resistance near the 80,000 to 82,000 handles.
This was mostly driven by lower US bond yields, and the idea that they may stay lower. More bond buybacks, more liquidity, and that gives investors the ability to recoup their bond investments and deploy that into higher-yielding assets.
So the question is does it continue higher and break above resistance with a break, retest, and continuation, or does it keep trading in its range.
The 30-year yield is sitting on support near 5.150. If it breaks that level and continues lower, I would imagine Bitcoin finds more momentum higher. If that level holds and yields stay stubborn, Bitcoin likely stays range-bound.
For the bulls, it looks quite good. You are now above the 200-day. A pullback that holds above it looks exceptionally well for the bull case.

Gold has historically shown a strong inverse relationship with real yields (nominal yields minus inflation expectations). Why does this relationship sometimes break down during acute crisis periods?

Euro Now Near a Three-Month High as ECB Hike Nears
EURUSD is turning green on the day. It tapped into some previous resistance, possibly turned support, right above the 200-day.
One thing I am noticing here. This looks like the kind of pullback that gets bought rather shallow, instead of a deeper retracement. Price is holding up near its highest since mid-May.
The ECB is widely expected to raise rates in September, following its June tightening, to ease inflation pressures triggered by the US-Iran conflict. That hike would bring the deposit rate to 2.5%. Expectations for further tightening are growing as the Middle East drags on.
Here is my main point. The eurozone is more vulnerable to the region than the US is. They are not a net exporter, and they are closer in proximity. So the war's inflation pressure hurts them more. As long as it drags on, I expect it keeps pressuring the ECB to hike further.
Watch that support hold above the 200-day.

US 30-Year Yield Now Falls as Oil and Iran Pressure Ease
The US 30-year yield is at 5.186, down 0.82%. It has given back some of the gains from the past couple days.
You had a big red candle print after Scott Bessent announced his bond buybacks, from $2 to $4 billion, on August 19. Price is now sitting right at the low of that day's candle. So I think there is some support here, near-term, at 5.160 you can call it. If you break that level, you could see a flush and continuation lower.
Me personally, I do think there is continued pressure on the long end. Today is also getting help from Middle East developments. The US said it will send more diplomats to the region as negotiations resume, and Bessent added secondary sanctions on China to reduce Iran's economic strength.
If yields break 5.150 then I see a potential retest of the 200-day.
Jackson Hole is later this week. For now the path of least resistance is lower.
