Hot Monday: What’s next for Silver & Gold after the US debt clock?
It’s going to be a hot sizzling Monday today. Washington now has one more day to solve the puzzle before the debt burst. Unless they come out with a fire-fighting plan, US will start defaulting on their record-breaking $14.46 trillion debt by tomorrow.
How would this impact the precious metals?
In short, the more money the Fed prints OR the weaker the dollar is the better it is for the PM market. That would happen if US raises their debt ceiling or decided to start defaulting its current debt. That’s the bull camp.
If Washington are able to stop ballooning their $14.46 trillion ceiling, not default its current debt AND turn their Federal P&L from red to black – that spells the bear for PM. Been spending my entire weekend catching up the debt news and to have THAT, is almost unlikely.
Following are some materials that would go along well with your morning coffee.
