Horrible bank season about to begin?

For extreme VIX , Gold has traded in $50 range today.

Up 20% since Valentines Day.

U.S. bank fallout clearly means U.S. economy in-recession. How much B&S is there in gov’t economic data?

Bank of Canada in-a-pickle. They have to cut rates ASAP, but rates will hammer loonie even further.

Adding to Errol's JPM reference.

JPM fell on yesterday's ER and is trading at the average price paid per share since the previous ER.

This means the average holder has returned the gains of the previous three months.

Not catastrophic, but this chart highlights why holding over ER is a risky business.

Gold trading range insane. Straight up early morning, now actually down for the day. Is this a bearish key reversal in the making? Volatility at its max . . . .

[errolanderson]

Comex gold now down nearly $100 per oz from mid-morning highs. USD rolling higher . . . . We may be watching history in-the-making.

Supporting Errol's comment:

[errolanderson]

Monday, Monday will be interesting. Black or just shades-of-grey?

VIX jumped 25% today and 50% over the past 3 weeks. Bank credit appears in significant slide. This is not favouring grossly over-valued stocks (IMO). Loonie freefall?

Emergency rate cuts? Not according to anybody in the media. If the stock market cracks, all bets are off . . . .

[errolanderson]

Calm start to markets tonite. Fingers crossed . . . .

[furrowtickler]

Hopefully calm heads prevail over the Iran / Israel situation

Oil seeds start trending up me thinks along with a few other grains good weather or not.
