Market Commentary:
Things will get very hairy in the west.
All world wars are trade wars gone sideways.
Gold will have $200 up days, and $200 down days.
Silver will explode to $100 and collapse to $5
Exchanges will declare force majeur and suspend delivery when primary clearing firms go under
Public access vaults will be depleted even as long as they are used for global pricing.
But those buying don’t care about daily price. Those selling do. Buyers care about the metal and will value it using long term moving averages for future trade. Daily prices will mean less and less as time progresses and physical availability will mean more and more.
Caveat: If you are buying hoping to make money tomorrow, next week or next month, don’t.

GEOPOLITICS-
Russian President Putin said the terrorist attack was committed by radical Islamists, while he added they know who committed the crime and want to know who ordered it. US Secretary of State Blinken underscored to Israel's Defence Minister Gallant that alternatives exist to a ground invasion of Rafah that would both better ensure Israel's security and protect Palestinian civilians.
US State Department said it is surprising and unfortunate that the Israeli delegation decided not to come after US abstention on the UN resolution, while it added that a full-scale invasion of Rafah would be a mistake and this type of invasion would weaken Israel's security.
Hamas said it informed mediators it will stick to its original position for a comprehensive ceasefire including the withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza, return of the displaced and a 'real' exchange of prisoners, according to Reuters.
