Yesterday confirmed the risk-on turn in S&P 500 and beyond as Powell didn‘t spook the markets in the end. So, not even a temporary setback, let alone a crash that many others had been calling for. Face ripper rallies stretching from stocks, and bonds, over to precious metals, base metals, and even oil (so contingent upon what‘s going on in China) ensued.

Precious metals and miners cast the best light on the current phase of the monetary policy cycle. Bright days are arriving, and silver will lead. Potentially to $27 before Apr 2023 is over.
