At Money Metals, TF Metals Report's Craig Hemke scorns technical analysis of manipulated markets
10:55a ET Monday, October 7, 2019
Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
Craig Hemke of the TF Metals Report, interviewed by Mike Gleason of Money Metals Exchange, notes the irrelevance of much technical analysis in markets that are as manipulated as those for gold and silver.
The "spoofing" in the gold and futures markets that recently has yielded indictments and convictions of bullion bank traders in the United States is directly related to the strange "waterfall" smashes in gold and silver in recent years, Hemke says.

Storage and Withdrawal of Gold with Bullion Star in Singapore
Bullion Star is a Singapore-registered company with a one-stop bullion shop, showroom, and vault at 45 New Bridge Road in Singapore.
Bullion Star's solution for storing bullion in Singapore is called My Vault Storage. With My Vault Storage you can store bullion in Bullion Star's bullion vault, which is integrated with Bullion Star's shop and showroom, making it a convenient one-stop shop for precious metals in Singapore.
Customers can buy, store, sell, or request physical withdrawal of their bullion through My Vault Storage® online around the clock. Storage rates are competitive.

The gold and silver trading desk of JPMorganChase in New York, whose gold and silver traders have been indicted and convicted, worked closely with the bank's physical desk in London, Hemke says.
Hemke explains: "Say the physical desk in London has an order that they took a few weeks back and they've got to fill. They've got to get a ton, 50,000 ounces, whatever. And they've got to fill that order and they don't have it. So they've got to go buy it. First they've got to get that metal shook free, so they've got to convince somebody to sell, but at the same time they might want to save a few bucks when buying that metal and so they get the desk in New York to rig the price lower.
"The guy in London calls up [JPM gold trading desk chief] Michael Nowak and says, 'Mike, I really could use the price down $10 from here. Could you take care of that for me?'
"Mike gets [confessed JPM gold-spoofing trader John] Edmonds on the phone. They start spoofing away -- boom. And you get these waterfall declines where we all sit back and scratch ours head going, 'Wait a second. Who in their right mind sells 10,000 contracts in 30 seconds?'"
Meanwhile, Hemke says, "Baghdad Bob" financial market letter writers contrive technical analysis explanations for the strange market action, since any candid analysis of it would reveal to their subscribers the uselessness of the technical analysis they're selling.
