This week, I was joined by quite a few people – among which Menachem Sahler, Bannerman Energy CEO James Sykes, Dr. Quinton Hennigh, Kuya Silver CEO David Stein, and Lithoquest CEO Bruce Counts – and we discussed quite a few subjects.
How was your week? I could say mine wasn’t great because the value of my portfolio fell quite a bit. However, looking at some of the pictures from the met gala – that Twitter so aggressively shoves in my face – made me realize that there are worse things to spend money on than uranium stocks.
Anyways, almost everything besides the dollar fell last week. If I have this right, the main market mover was the FED. They increased interest rates by 50 basis points (0.50%) and said that we should expect “multiple double rate hikes” this year. However, Powell made it clear that the rate at which they hike will likely not increase. Meaning, he is not expected to hike rates at more than 0.50% per time.
Powell also promised to slow down inflation, without causing a recession which is nearly impossible. The market didn’t buy it either.
With this macro setting, we’ve seen the dollar go up yet again this week, and is now up 15% YoY, with interest rates on the 10-year treasury bonds now being up 99.8% YoY.
Believe it or not, I went to college. Twice. The way I learned it there, a rising bond yield is caused by falling bond prices, and falling bond prices come in a time when investors want to take on more risk so they offer their bonds for sale at a lower price, hoping to get out quicker and invest money into higher-risk investments.
However, that didn’t happen this week either, as the NASDAQ, the S&P, and even the Dow Jones Industrial average, all closed the week in the red and continued trading dangerously close to bear market territory.
Maybe it’s all because the market doesn’t buy the FEDs story of putting inflation down nicely without capping economic growth? Sure, but shouldn’t that cause panic and push investors into gold? Well, it didn’t. Gold & silver closed the week in the red, but surprisingly, platinum didn’t.
Uranium was generally flat, but the equities kept falling and decoupling from the very beautiful YoY performance of the uranium stock price. This might change if the moment picks up.
Next week will be very interesting to watch in uranium, as the URNM plays with a key technical support level.
