There are a dozen of several solid “perfect” explanations for the protracted decline and the explosive push up in metals and indices.

How about our repeated assertions of higher lows in , and acted as a leading signal for a looming rally in . All of that works.

The chart below (/ vs ) was posted on November 8, moments before gold “took off”. The small red horizontal line (Dec 2016) was followed by gold rallying on the 8th week (8th yellow candle), coinciding lift-off in the RSI of the XME/XLE. The same development emerged this week. If that’s too obscure of an indicator, that is OK. But there was a reason why I chose to time the sharing of the chart with our WBG members. As for the above chart, it is self explanatory. Now we wait for Fed members to come this week to warn on how more should be done to bring down inflation. But will they walk such talk in December?
