Silvernuts....the silver market knew of this today and some/much of the effects has already taken place. Still, a selloff Sunday night into Monday morning, followed by a big reversal back up Monday could well be playing right into the hands of waiting buyers.
Silver reached $49.18 this morning before falling to as low as $47.51 in the afternoon Globex. The close at 5:15 EDT was near $48. No margin hike will stop the physical cash market, only slow it down for a bit. Same will be true when interest rates are eventually forced up in small increments, which will only stall G&S, not stop it from it's destiny.
BOTTOM LINE: As long as the FED is committed to QE mandates, G&S will be forced up. The Bernank says he wants to support a strong dollar, then proceeds to undermine it with hyper monetization. He is doing as told and insulting the intelligence of all.
