1.Markets are trading higher today after the . The catalyst for the move higher was from the second estimate for Q3 GDP showed real GDP increasing at an annual rate of 5.2%. This number was expected to be strong but was better than expected. Later today, the Fed's Beige Book will be released at 2pm ET.
2. The Russell 2000 Index (IWM) is the big winner so far today. As many of you know, when the small caps lead markets it tells us that risk is on. That is the case today.
3. Oil has been ticking up this week ahead of the OPEC meeting. Apparently, OPEC is looking for OPEC+ to cut production. We don't know if that is going to happen. Either way, the chart is telling me crude is going down to the $69-70 level.
4. Gold has been a powerhouse lately. Yesterday, the precious metal surged and today it is slightly higher. Please understand, gold has not broken out yet, but it is getting close.
5. Bitcoin is pulling back a little today, but it does not seem as if anything is wrong yet.The daily chart is fine and the short term trend is up.

In this insightful interview, financial expert David Wright of Wright Financial Group and author of "Bonfires of the Sanities," delves into the latest U.S. initial jobless claims, which have slightly exceeded forecasts at 217K, compared to the predicted 215K and the previous 220K. Wright highlights the significance of these figures in the context of the current high-interest-rate economy, warning of their potential impact on overall economic conditions as unemployment is on the rise.
Further, Wright discusses the Federal Reserve's projection of the unemployment rate reaching 4.5% by the end of the year, underscoring the deviation from their target rate of 5% aimed at maintaining a 2% inflation rate. He reminds viewers of the Fed's primary objectives: ensuring steady employment and price stability, rather than supporting the stock market.
Concluding the interview, Wright provides his perspective on the stock market's future, predicting a range-bound situation marked by volatility, with significant fluctuations expected over the next 24 months.

Torq Resources Makes Two More Copper-Gold Discoveries at Margarita
We sat down with Torq Resources’ CEO Shawn Wallace and Chief Geological Office Michael Henrichsen (🇨🇦 TORQ: 🇺🇸 TRBMF) for a sponsor update. Results were just announced from Torq’s Phase III drill program at the Margarita iron-oxide-copper-gold project. With 14 holes spanning 3,862 m, the program has expanded the Falla 13 discovery and uncovered yet more mineralized zones within Margarita. They intersected 42 m of 1.1 g/t Gold and 0.48% Copper Near Falla 13 and 132 m of 0.48% Copper at Cototuda. Broad copper oxide zones were also found at the previously drilled Margarita corridor. No doubt more good news is on the way, with results from seven more holes expected shortly.
Wallace expressed excitement over the project's potential given its strategic location near Copiapo's city, with high-grade infrastructure, and favorable conditions for year-round drilling. He remarked on the considerable value these discoveries added to Torq's Stock/Margarita project, with 2024 shaping up to be an important year.
Henrichsen emphasized the significance of the new findings. He highlighted the discovery of a parallel structure to the Falla 13 zone, and the promise shown by the Cototuda target. He stated that the Margarita's unfolding potential is a continuing story and hopes that it will become another shining star within Coastal Cordillera belt, which is already home to several large producers. Plans are underway to study the characteristics of both discoveries, and to explore the newly discovered zones near Falla 13 and the Cototuda corridor, alongside numerous other unexplored targets.
Very exciting times for the Torq team.

Gold Still Smoking Hot — Nick Santiago 10-18-23 #536
Source:
https://www.spreaker.com/user/appeal2/nick-536
1. The major indexes are starting out a bit on the weaker side today. Traders should remember this Friday is options expiration for October. Today is Whipsaw Wednesday, which is often the most choppy session of the week before the Friday expiration. Rallies will often be sold and sell-offs will usually see big bounces. Be ready for a market that can be all over the map today.
2. Crude oil is catching a decent bid today trading back to $88.00 a barrel. This move up is solely based on geopolitical fears out of the Middle East. Honestly, I have no choice but to remain neutral on crude with everything going on geopolitically. There are just too many uncertainties in that region.
3. Yields had a huge day yesterday. The 2-year note yield traded as high as 5.20%. Today, the 2-year is currently trading around 5.19%. It is very close to the current fed funds rate which is 5.25 to 5.50%. When the 2-year trades into the Fed funds rate territory that tells investors that the Fed needs to hike. Watch this closely,
4. Gold is on fire this morning again trading higher by 1.75%. Obviously, the geopolitical events are helping gold to catch a bid as a safe haven play. Its getting a little overbought on the daily chart, but it's been strong. If you own it you trail your stop loss, but in this environment I would not sell it if you own it. The same for silver.
5. Bitcoin futures are trading slightly lower on the day. Earlier this week, Bitcoin caught a bid after the SEC did not appeal an earlier court ruling regarding a bitcoin ETF. So that is some bullish news, but the chart pattern on the weekly chart is still bearish.

Kyle explains that the market is currently in a stalemate, with demand tempering off, but prices and buyer demand not plummeting as expected. Rates are a big factor in the market, and if they were to be cut, there would be a massive influx of buyers.
Kyle also advises buyers and sellers not to let interest rates become the be all and end all, as refinancing is always an option. They also discuss various trends and strategies in the real estate market, including the decline of commercial real estate and the potential for repurposing buildings, as well as the housing shortage in the Northeast.

Trillion Energy: Gas Production Increasing and Oil Exploration Has Begun
Amid recent the recent stock decline, we had a sit-down with Arthur Halleran, CEO of (sponsor) Trillion Energy (TCF 🇨🇦: TRLED 🇺🇸) to gain insight into the situation. Here’s what we learned.
• Natural Gas Production: Trillion’s natural gas output was below expectations due to technical glitches, including oversized gas lines and water intrusion into wells.
• Solutions in Play: To address these issues, Trillion sought expertise from a top-tier consultant for a comprehensive review of the SASB field. Their swift recommendations include perforating the waterlogged wells to up the pressure and remove water. This economical solution provides Trillion a cushion to add pumps to each well and modify the line size.
• Market Dynamics: The ongoing geopolitical events have been pushing gas prices upwards, a trend that Halleran expects to persist.
• Company’s Viability: Addressing concerns, Halleran reassured that Trillion is not only profitable but is also targeting a daily production surge to 7.5 mcf by year-end. Furthermore, the company is set to drill 5 sidetrack wells in 2024, hinting at a significant production expansion.
• Oil Venture: Trillion has initiated a seismic study of its new Cudi-Gabar oil farm-in. Nearby fields boast production rates of 10,000 and 100,000 bpd. With a neighboring well about to be drilled, just a kilometer away, Halleran sees an opportunity for a free firsthand look into Trillion’s own field dynamics.
Trillion’s challenges will soon be in the rear view mirror. With strategies in place to optimize gas production and the advent of the sidetrack wells, the company's cash flow is poised to see a substantial rise. Cudi-Gabar has the potential to be a monster field. The company is effectively trading at the same price, when we first purchased shares in 2021, except it now has production and greater prospectivity, which is why we're giving serious thought to increasing our position.

Gold Up $50 — Nick Santiago 10-13-23 #535
Source:
https://www.spreaker.com/user/appeal2/nick-535
1 Earnings season is underway. This morning JPM, WFC, BLK, PNC, UNH & PGR reported earnings. For the most part, JPM is having a great reaction to its numbers. The stock is trading higher by 4.0%.
More earnings will pour in next week in other industry groups.
2. The major indexes were trading higher this morning but gave up their gains. They were looking to close out a positive week, despite lots of geopolitical events taking place. This is why we must use charts and not opinions.
3. Next Friday is options expiration for October. Please understand, that is often a week of institutional game playing. As I always say, stocks that are up in the stratosphere are usually due to pullback and stocks that are beaten up can often catch bids.
4. Gold and silver are both strong to start the day, gold up over $50 and silver nearly a dollar. So far, they have acted very well since October 5th. The next gold resistance level in play will be around the $1950 area. The next silver resistance level is around $23.75.
5. Oil is catching a bid this morning. Currently, crude is trading around $85.92 a barrel. I'm keeping a neutral stance on crude due to the geopolitical tension in the Middle East.
6. Bitcoin is upticking a little bit. The pattern on Bitcoin is still bearish according to the weekly chart.
