Gold fell more than 3% after Kevin Warsh's Jackson Hole speech and kept falling Monday, even as American forces struck Iranian rocket launchers near the Strait of Hormuz and crude climbed above 90 dollars. Phil Streible of Blue Line Futures says a September rate hike would be a policy mistake the Fed has to undo, and that the undoing is when gold accelerates. Streible told his clients to take money off the table on Friday, before Warsh spoke, and explains exactly what he saw: silver stalling at the 100-day, gold teetering at the 200-day, and a dollar getting a relentless bid. He gives the level that would change his mind on gold, the August 18 low he calls the line in the sand, and why 150 dollars off a 600 dollar run is a correction rather than a top. On inflation, he argues the Fed is aiming the wrong tool at the wrong problem. Tariffs, Iranian strikes and an attack on a Black Sea port are supply shocks, and rate hikes cannot manufacture more oil or wheat. On silver, he lays out the structural deficit, why 70% of supply arrives as a byproduct of copper, lead and zinc, and the levels that matter on both sides. He also walks through how he actually sizes a silver position using average true range, which is the part almost nobody explains. Plus platinum and palladium, why he'd short them against a long gold and silver book, the miners, gold seasonality into year end, and why after 25 years on a commodity desk he has never once used Bitcoin. Phil Streible is chief market strategist at Blue Line Futures and has written commentary for Kitco since 2007.
