Iran Seeks Retribution Over Soleimani Killing

By Orbex

On Monday afternoon, Iran issued an arrest warrant for US President Donald Trump.

This came after Iranian officials accused him of his involvement in the January 3rd drone attack that killed Iranian General Qassam Soleimani.

Tehran’s prosecutor, Ali Alqasimehr, claimed that more than 30 people are facing “murder and terrorism charges”.

Despite Iran asking Interpol for help in detaining the US President, the international organization rejected the request.

Is Trump Under Arrest Threat?

Early reports have suggested that Trump is in no danger of being arrested.

That said, this warrant is certainly adding heightened tensions to an already troublesome US-Iran history.

Speaking on the Iranian matter, Brian Hook, the US special representative for Iran, said:

“It’s a propaganda stunt that no one takes seriously.”

Will US-Iran Reescalation Affect Markets?

The markets experienced a significant impact following the assassination of Iranian General Qassam Soleimani. WTI oil reached a yearly high of $63.80 from a low of $61.50. This marked an appreciation of 3.5% on an intraday basis.

Can we expect a similar reaction should the pursuance of the warrants intensify?

It is unlikely that we will see a similar rise as we saw after the Soleimani killing. However, the assassination saw news leaks of a possible surge towards $70.

Keeping a Close Eye

The possibility of US-Iran re-escalation remains on the cards and this could take safe-haven assets higher.

In fact, we have seen gold attracting several investors during times of heightened tensions. This alone signals a repetition.

In addition, US equities have appreciated in the run-up to general elections in the past. Prior to Trump’s win in 2016, for example, indices rose around 7%.

Now, with more negative news against Trump, this could effectively kill off any realistic chances of a second term.

His approval ratings have already been on a downwards spiral due to his response to the coronavirus pandemic. Now, it looks like the arrest warrant may have a detrimental effect on the President’s poll-standing going forward.

Another signal in favor of further downtrend will be a rebound from the rising channel’s downside border. However, the bearish scenario may no longer be valid if the price breaks the cloud’s upside border and fixes above 1.2415. In this case, the pair may continue growing towards 1.2505.

Q2 set to end on risk-on note

By Han Tan, Market Analyst, ForexTime

Asian stocks are advancing on the final trading day of June, after a positive session on Wall Street, with market sentiment buoyed further by China’s better-than-expected June PMI readings. The data makes for encouraging signs that the world’s second largest economy is well on its way in overcoming the pandemic.

The Hang Seng index is also climbing higher, keeping up with the regional trend, despite the US halting some trade benefits to Hong Kong pertaining shipments of sensitive American technology to the city. The latest move is in keeping with the threat that Hong Kong may lose its special trading status, amid escalating US-China tensions.

The HSI50 appears to be constrained by the psychologically-important 25,000 level but supported by its 50-day simple moving average. With Hong Kong stocks being squeezed into this tighter range, it suggests that a breakout is imminent. The Hang Seng index’s upside however appears capped by Hong Kong’s perceived place at the epicentre of strained US-China relations. A ratcheting up of tensions between the world’s two largest economies could severely hamper the potential gains in Hong Kong equities.

No surprise then that the Hang Seng could only manage a four percent advance since March 31, which is the lowest quarter-to-date gains among major Asian stock benchmarks. In contrast, the MSCI Asia Pacific index is posting a 15 percent climb for the period, its largest quarter-to-date climb since Q3 2009.

Dollar awaits US consumer confidence data; Powell, Mnuchin testimonies

The Dollar index (DXY) has returned to the upper bounds of its 95.7-97.7 range that it has kept to in June, though it is set to register a loss of over one percent for the quarter. The record-setting gains in May’s pending US home sales, which registered a 44.3 percent month-on-month increase and shattered market expectations, wasn’t enough to break the DXY out of its current sideways trend.

Data-dependent Dollar traders will be looking to the June US consumer confidence data announcement later today for further signs of the US economic recovery. The key question now is whether consumers, who shoulder the responsibility of driving US economic growth, will engage with the stimulus measures that have been rolled out by the government. The consumer confidence readings are expected to post a second consecutive month of recovery, yet remain in sub-100 territory for a third straight month. A positive surprise in the data could encourage more risk-taking behaviour in the markets.

The testimonies by Fed chair Jerome Powell and US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin before the House Financial Services Committee could also sway market sentiment, as both are expected to be pressed on the Fed and the Treasury’s respective responses to the pandemic. Should investors get the sense that even more stimulus is on the way, especially from the fiscal side, that could give risk sentiment another shot in the arm and unwind recent gains in the US Dollar.

ORANGE Analysis: Crop estimate downgrade bullish for orange price

And recent Department of Agriculture National Agricultural Statistics Service ( NASS ) May crop forecast projects a decrease in oranges and grapefruit production. The USDA predicted Florida Orange production at 67.7 million boxes, down 3 percent from the May forecast. Lower supply estimates are bullish for orange price.

FX Scorecard: Winners and Losers of 2020 so far

By Lukman Otunuga, Research Analyst, ForexTime 

– So much has happened since the start of 2020.

The shocking events across the globe sparked explosive movements across currency, commodity and stock markets with investors thrown on an emotional roller-coaster ride. As the first half of 2020 slowly comes to an end, it will be remembered as one of the most volatile periods across markets since 2008 thanks coronavirus and growth-related concerns.

In the FX universe, there were many victims of the pandemic but some currencies were able to exploit the chaos to appreciate!

One of the biggest winners from COVID-19 was the mighty Dollar which has appreciated against almost every single G10 currency excluding the Swiss Franc, Japanese Yen and Danish Krone.

The Dollar Index (DXY) remains supported by fundamentals while technical are aligning in favour of bulls. A solid breakout above 97.80 may trigger an incline towards 98.50 and 99.00. If fears intensify around a second wave of coronavirus outbreaks, the risk-off sentiment may push the Dollar Index towards 100.00 during Q3.

Yen remains a contender for throne 

Another winner in the FX arena was the Japanese Yen.

The Yen has appreciated against most G10 currencies since the start of 2020 thanks to its safe-haven status.

Looking at the USDJPY, the currency pair remains a battleground for bulls and bears but 108.00 could change this narrative. A breakout above this point may open a path towards 109.40 and 110.20.

If the 108.00 proves to be a tough nut to crack, then prices may sink back towards 107.00.

Euro growing tired by the day

Shaky fundamentals from Europe continue to haunt investor attraction towards the Euro.

The EURUSD is coming under increasing pressure on the daily charts with prices struggling to keep above 1.1200. A solid close below the point may trigger a drop towards 1.1100 and potentially lower.

Pound sulks in the corner

The Pound has practically weakened against almost every major currency year-to-date thanks to Brexit related drama and concerns over the impacts of coronavirus to the UK economy.

The GBPUSD is on a slippery decline on the daily charts with prices sinking towards 1.2250. A breakdown below this level may open the doors towards 1.2200 and 1.2160. Jitters around the United Kingdom leaving the European Union with no-deal at the end of 2020 pull prices lower towards 1.2000 and 1.1190.

Russell 2000 Gaps Present Real Targets

By TheTechnicalTraders 

– Recent Gaps in price action in the IWM (Russell 2000 ETF) presents a clear picture of future price targets and support/resistances.  Gaps are one of the most common forms of Technical Analysis techniques.  They represent “voids” where price activity has skipped a range of price as it advances or declines aggressively.

Gaps are commonly used as targets for future price activity – where price attempts to “fill the gap”. In Technical Analysis theory, any gap that appears should eventually be “filled” by price in the future.  Thus, any open gap that does not fill is still considered an “open target range”.

IWM PROVIDES A UNIQUE PERSPECTIVE

We’re focusing on the Russell 2000 because we believe it provides a unique perspective on the markets related to the recent COVID-19 downside price swing and the recent recovery.  The Mid-Cap market sector tends to trend more quickly than the US major indexes and can sometimes provide a clear picture of more true price trends.

In this case, we’ve highlighted the downside price Gaps in YELLOW and the upside price Gaps in BLUE.  Two of the downside price Gaps have been filled recently as price advanced higher after March 21, 2020.  Additionally, the two highest downside price Gaps have also been filled – leaving the lower two still open (unfilled).

This presents a very easy to understand the method of identifying future price targets for both bullish and bearish price trends.  Either price will rally to fill the upper Gap, near $163~166, or price will breakdown into a bearish trend attempting to fill the $125~130 Gap or the $108~109 Gap.

The recent low price level near $133.28 broke previous Fibonacci low price levels from May 29. Because of this, we believe the current trend is moderately Bearish.  We would like to see a new lower low setup to confirm this new trend.  When we consider the next price move in the Russell 2000 ETF, two very clear targets become evident, either the recent upper BLUE Gap range between $145~149 or the lower BLUE Gap range between $125~129.

IWM Weekly Chart

The IWM Weekly chart does not illustrate the shorter term Gap patterns as price volatility has consolidated into longer-term price bars.  Still, we have to very clear Gaps on the Weekly IWM chart- the upper Gap, near $163~166, and the lower Gap, near $136~141.  This lower price Gap is currently acting as a support/resistance channel for the price as the IWM price consolidates within this range.  A breakout/breakdown move is very likely as the future price trend will likely exit this Gap range with an aggressive price move.

The lower Gaps that are evident on the Daily chart are still valid price levels on this chart – we’re just not seeing them on this Weekly chart because of the compressed interval.

Before you continue, be sure to opt-in to our free market trend signals before closing this page, so you don’t miss our next special report!

As we near the end of June 2020 (Q2), it is fitting that the IWM price level has stalled near this 50% Fibonacci retracement level and within the middle Gap level.  This level will likely continue to attract price as it consolidates before entering the breakout or breakdown trend.  Again, based on the Fibonacci price theory, the recent low suggests the current trend is Bearish.

The 4th of July holiday weekend is nearing and prices tend to consolidate, absent any major news or earnings data, before any major holiday.  Therefore, we may see price levels stay rather narrow this week as we await Q2 earnings and prior to the 4th of July holiday.  Stay properly protected in this market.  Any breakdown/breakout move will likely happen very quickly in the near future.

In short, I hope you glean something useful from this article. If this is the start of a double-dip, it’s going to be huge, and if it’s the start of a bear market, it is going to be life-changing.

If you are new to trading, technical analysis, or are a long term passive investor worried about what to do, you can follow my lead. I share both my investing signals and more active swing trade signals using simple ETFs at TheTechnicalTraders.com.

Eloro Hits the Silver Hurdles Running

By The Gold Report

Source: Bob Moriarty for Streetwise Reports   06/28/2020

Bob Moriarty of 321gold explains why he is investing in this company with a project in Bolivia.

I expect to get very boring over the next few months. While I have been warning for years of a massive financial collapse coming to the world few people actually get it. We are in a depression. There is $250 trillion worth of debt in the world that will never be paid. It is going to grow far worse than it is today. What the Fed and Central Banks around the world have done is feeding fuel to the fire. The banking system is going to collapse through a series of cascading defaults making their way through the system.

The multi-month lockdown has done more psychological damage to the inmates than the damage from the virus. Some 40 million Americans who have lost their jobs combined with the lockdown has brought riots and civil disorder to hundreds of cities in the US. When you add to those two factors the issue of simple envy, you have the ingredients for massive civil disorder.

Most people would casually ignore envy as a factor in revolution and riots but that may be a mistake. In a famous and oft-duplicated experiment scientists showed how envy caused even monkeys to literally “go off.” I’m not a fan of 45-minute videos and it confuses me as to why those sending them out believe that everyone has hours a day to watch long videos. But in this short and sweet two-minute clip, you will see exactly why Americans are angry at the giant divide between the 1% with their ever growing wealth and the 99% who haven’t had a real increase in wages in 40 years.

We have civil disorder. We have no real leadership from the fools running either political party and things are going to get a whole lot worse. The 30-somethings have opened hundreds of thousands of brokerage accounts and are pouring money into such brilliant day trading investments as Hertz as it goes into bankruptcy under the theory that the Fed will bail out even the most poorly run companies in the US. That’s probably going to turn into a very bad bet. When I was young we believed that Robin Hood stole from the rich and gave to the poor. Today Robinhood steals from the poor and gives to the rich. No doubt that will end badly.

One day soon the mob of feckless young idiots with more dollars than cents will discover the wonderful world of junior mining stocks. When that shift takes place we shall see a boom as the world has never seen before. Some of the dumbest investments in mining stocks will go up fifty-fold. So I am going to write about a lot of juniors who are beginning to realize it’s time for them to start beating the drums and telling their incredible stories.

Many years ago I went to Bolivia and looked at a couple of silver projects in the Potosi Silver District. I have not been to the Iska Iska mine of newly formed Eloro Resources Ltd. (ELO:TSX.V; ELRRF-OTCBB) but I’ve been within spitting distance. I know the area.

Eloro President Tom Larsen is smart enough to associate with some of the top people in mining; Bill Pearson formerly of the Jacobina Mine in Brazil found their Bolivian project for them. Iska Iska is in the heart of the Potosi Silver District that produced over 60% of the silver during the 17th century. Eloro has an option of the project that required them to provide 250,000 shares to the vendor and another 250,000 shares over time. The financial payment for 100% of the project is $10 million CAD within four years.

The company has taken underground channel samples that are simply absurd, measuring Silver 35.5 – 694 g/t, Gold 0.31 – 28.6 g/t Au, Zinc 1.05 – 16.95% Zn and Lead 0.41 – 16.95% Pb. If you took the worst of each of those samples for each element it would be $67 a ton rock. In Bolivia that is economic.

Iska Iska grade chart

Just last week the company announced they were in preparation for a 2,500 meter underground drill program as soon as the country lifts the virus restrictions. On the very positive side, Doctor Bill Pearson is their senior Technical Advisor. Quinton Hennigh has been added as an additional Technical Advisor and the company is well cashed up having just completed a $1.5 million private placement.

While Iska Iska is their primary focus for just now, Eloro has another project in Peru in the <href=”#v=onepage&amp;q=Western%20Cordillera%20Polymetallic%20Province&amp;f=false” target=”_blank”>Western Cordillera Polymetallic Province nested in the middle of half a dozen gold producing mines including the La Arena gold mine I went to see a dozen of years ago. Most interesting to me at the time was the fact that of the 3–4 mines within a 30 km circle, all of them have identical ore and their costs were virtually the same for each mine.

Eloro owns 82% of the La Victoria gold project. While La Victoria has world class potential for now 80% of Eloro’s focus is on their Iska Iska silver mine.

With Drs. Bill Pearson and Quinton Hennigh doing the technical planning and me telling the story, how can you go wrong? Even Eric Sprott is an investor but he invests in everything associated with silver.

I wasn’t quick enough to participate in their recently closed private placement but I was smart enough to go out into the open market and buy some shares. As such and given that they are advertisers, obviously I am biased. Do your own due diligence.
