I will start this week’s commentary with a summary of the week’s
extraordinary action and defer catching up on some exceptionally good
member questions to early next week. During the week, in our live
sessions, we have looked in granular detail at the footprints that lead
into and out of the gold raid that commenced in the early hours of
Monday morning and how China was going to be falsely blamed for the
selloff (which it subsequently was), yet an analysis of the footprints
leads directly to the BIS (Bank for International Settlements) desk. I
draw this conclusion because, unusually, the selloff commenced in the
OTC (over-the-counter) FX gold market, which concurrently picked up in
the Comex tripping off market halts just before China sold. What is
missed by all the commentary out there is that while the Comex was
halted, the OTC markets continued to operate unencumbered.BIS / Insider Activity Ramps Up In Gold And Silver Markets
I have provided analysis of this insider favored setup in prior commentaries, illustrating how this puts US-centric traders at a distinct disadvantage to the BB’s (Bullion Banks) /BIS and all other global players who can continue to trade/hedge in the spot markets in any size while the futures and options markets are frozen. The concurrent OTC (over-the-counter) FX Gold action around these market halts were not picked up by any commentator/analyst and strongly point to BIS/Insider LBMA Bullion Bank activity.

Should You Buy A House?
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 07/25/2015 - 20:50 "By stepping back and looking at the big picture, we can see that real estate should be correcting and trending down. The reasons why our grandparents bought their homes have changed. Government intervention cannot last forever. It will change from accommodation to devastation, when they finally run out of ideas. As for buying a house, I would consider it more of a luxury as opposed to an investment, and one has to be prepared for the possibility of it being a depreciating asset, especially if one decides to move."Presenting The Most Ridiculous Things Ever Bought By Billionaires

Corporate Credit Crashing: Waiting On The Rest Of The Herd
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 07/25/2015 - 19:40 With almost everything turning lower this week under “dollar” pressure, it is imperative to keep in mind the apex asset class. In 2007, it was the ABX indices and various mortgage related structures that signified the how far along everything was; in this cycle it is clearly corporate credit. The disarray starts in the riskiest pieces and then moves inward and eventually, if left unchecked, eroding too much underneath with which to support what was once believed perfectly safe. Once there is no place to hide, the turn really begins.
In Key Decision, Junk-Rated Chicago's Pension Reform Bid Ruled Unconstitutional
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 07/25/2015 - 19:05 On Thursday, we previewed a critical court ruling involving Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel’s effort to cut pension expenses and plug a yawning budget gap. As expected, Emanuel’s plan was determined to be unconstitutional by Rita M. Novak of the Cook County Circuit Court, further imperling the junk-rated city's financial future and perpetuating a pension ponzi scheme.

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
The World Gold Council yesterday published a fairly involved statement responding to this week’s attack on the gold market, acknowledging the suspiciousness of the trading that began the attack last Sunday night but dismissing it as the doings of speculators and emphasizing what the council considers the favorable fundamentals for gold, as if fundamentals might prevail any time soon against surreptitious trading by central banks. The council’s statement is posted in PDF format at GATA’s Internet site here:

from Jesse’s Café Américain:
Gold led a stiff rebound off support at 1180 today as it just was not
going to go any lower, and the wiseguys grabbed some profits off the
table. This was a very obviously short term oversold condition.
Now we will see if gold and silver can put in a real bottom here, or something else. Next Tuesday will be the August metals expiration at The Bucket Shop. August is also an active month for gold. I have included the latest ‘owners per ounce’ charts from Nick Laird at sharelynx.com. They were able to knock down the open interest a bit, but could not produce more physical bullion for sale yet.
The Fed accidentally leaked its staff projections about rate hikes today. It looks like one for this year and four more next year for about 1.26%. I hope they wait for The Recovery to get on their magic bus.

Earlier this week, we learned that lobbyists for Monsanto, Exxon Mobil, Microsoft and the Telecom industry are actively raising funds
for the pantsuit revolutionary, Hillary Clinton. Today, we can add
private prison companies to the list. Because private prisons are
sooooooo progressive.

Brazil
faces a ‘perfect storm’ as the country as the country slides deeper
into recession, the politics go haywire and the Fed prepares to raise
rates
by Ambrose Evans-Pritchard, The Telegraph:
The currencies of Brazil, Mexico, South Africa and Turkey have all
crashed to multi-year lows as investors flee emerging markets and
commodity prices crumble.
The drastic moves came as fears of imminent monetary tightening by the US Federal Reserve combined with shockingly weak figures from China, which stoked fears that the country may be sliding into a deeper downturn and sent tremors through East Asia, Latin America and Africa.
The Caixin/Markit manufacturing survey for China fell to a 15-month low of 48.2 in July, with a sharp drop in new export orders. Danske Bank said the slide “pours cold water” on hopes of a quick recovery from the slump seen earlier this year.

from Armstrong Economics:
Historically, it has always been the Republican Party that splits. It
has been a odd mixture of liberalism from the viewpoint of citizen
rights before those of the government and the original constitutional
goal of preserving the sovereignty of the states v the the Federalists.
This liberal view has often taken the position of Libertarian whereas
the so called “liberal” view of the Democrats
is not liberal at all, it is liberal with other people’s money in the
battle-cry of Marxism. This Republican “libertarian-ism”
is what Trump is tapping into as is Bernie Sanders in the Democratic
party. Both the traditional Republicans are owned by the NY banks as is
Hillary Clinton, in who more people now distrust Hilary than trust her.
This Republican “libertarian-ism” actually traces back to Thomas Jefferson – the ultimate anti-Federalist. Jefferson championed the Bill of Rights that both the Republicans and the Democrats no longer respect as demonstrated by Obama’s actions being indistinguishable from Bush regarding the NSA and both sides called Snowden a traitor.
