Merck & Co Inc edged higher after reporting better-than-expected second-quarter results and raising its full-year earnings forecast.

Advancing issues outnumbered declining ones on the NYSE by a 1.15-to-1 ratio; on Nasdaq, a 1.72-to-1 ratio favored advancers.

U.S. Treasury yields came off session lows on Tuesday (See Cap#3) after investors saw additional signs of strength in the U.S. economy, with healthy consumer spending and consumer confidence indicators reported.

The two-day Federal Reserve meeting also kicked off, with investors expecting at least a 25 basis point interest rate cut from the U.S. central bank.

Irish government bonds softened up amid growing questions over what a no-deal Brexit would mean for the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.

What else is on investors’ radar?

As trade talks between the world’s two biggest economies resumed in Shanghai on Tuesday, Trump warned China against trying to wait out his first term in office to finalize a deal.

Commerce Department data showed U.S. consumer spending and prices rose moderately in June, pointing to slower economic growth and bolstering the case for monetary easing.

The Conference Board’s indicator of consumer confidence for July jumped to 135.7 from a previous 124.3 in June-remember much of this is credit so take it with a grain of salt, it's a survey too.

The BOJ declined to lower rates, however they don't have much room either way so not a surprise. The usual rhetoric about "waiting to see etc".

Seeing how they own over 50% of the ETF and equity markets they are trapped to say the least. Thanks Kuroda and Aso you spergs!!

Now on to Commodity's, Silver kicking some paper ASS today and looks realy good here. The expected dumps have not materialzed as they have in the past. Save a small attempt yesterday morning that

was quickly bought and it had a v-bottom and marched upwards from taht bottom. A good sign that traders (it's still paper so keep taht in mind) have less of an itchy trigger finger on this. In the past

any sign of weakness was sold INSTANTLY and that beget moar selling-feedback loop that the COMEX idiots counted on. That seems to be gone for now. See comments in Cap#4

Oil is covered in part two today with a good article discussing the reality of over-supply and why prices should have dropped. They will as soon as this speculators get reigned in.

When that habbens is anyone's guess. Here is where to see the Open interest for COMEX silver: https://ycharts.com/indicators/comex_silver_futures_open_interest

Thye also have link for another metric called the COT or Committment of Traders report however it is a useless one as in the past it has portrayed many millions of OZ's being moved yet no one has ever been able to see

any evidence of this. you'd think a picture would have been snapped by now. This goes back t JPM getting a vault on a fast-track application process. This report is and has always been garbage yet it exists.

This is the result of muh silver legacy short position being handed off the them by allowing Bear Stearns to implode. The good assets, whatever they had, were then carved up and the bad ones were taken on by the FRB in the Maiden Lane transactions.

See Cap#5 on previous page

With the lack on conviction (trading-wise) in the oil price rise lately this is a good piece that explains the over-supply and the huge glut everyone has.

This is why the rise in oil prices is ridiculous when they get to the tech points. This needs an investigation BADLY. The writer's at this site do an excellent job without bullshit like many of the MSM sites.

A Ticking Time Bomb For Oil Markets

Crude oil in floating and onshore storage in Iran has exceeded 110 million barrels, French energy data analysts Kpler reported this week, noting the number of barrels in floating storage specifically had increased almost twofold over the last two months.

Oil in floating storage reached 56 million barrels, Kpler said, as exports continued to slide, falling to 417,000 bpd in July from 532,000 bpd in June. Oil in onshore storage stood at 55.5 million barrels at the start of this week.

This is up by 11 million barrels since the middle of May, shortly before the expiration of the sanction waivers. Onshore inventories will likely continue to rise steadily as floating storage is running near capacity.

Meanwhile, Iranian oil is also pushing Chinese stockpiles higher. From 3.2 million barrels in mid-June, China’s strategic petroleum reserve in the northeastern province of Liaoning has reached 6 million barrels to date.

So, there’s more than 110 million barrels of crude in storage, ready to flow and push prices lower. Since the chance of the United States suddenly reconsidering its stance on Iran is non-existent, this amount will only continue to rise.
