Us stocks point to the collapse of crude oil at the bottom of the unfathomable! Horror 2019 is coming?

Published: Dec 25, 2018 16:06

SMM News: one of the world's biggest bubbles, "American stocks" recently had the potential to collapse: the Na Index and the S & P index both fell into a bear market in a 10-negative manner, and the Dow also retreated by more than 19 per cent, a fraction of the difference between a technical bear market and a technical bear market. The trend line is short, the Brin midline is accelerating down, the MACD double dead fork is down, important indicators have changed their faces rapidly in the past two months, the gains so far this year have long since been wiped out, the technical bear market has never been the end, it may just be the beginning. Today's US crude oil is the best example.

Since the beginning of October, American stocks and American oil have been competing to fall, and American oil soon entered a technical bear market, and then it got out of hand, plummeted, and fell endlessly. At present, American oil has fallen more than 44%, which can be called an avalanche. And there is no sign of bottoming out at the moment.

After entering October, US stocks fluctuated significantly, and the consequences of four interest rate hikes this year began to be gradually exposed. The economic "Trump effect" brought about by Trump's tax cuts is coming to an end, and investors are more worried about the instability after the bubble in US stocks. The major investment banks began to look down on the world economy and the US economy next year, and then superimposed the uncertainty about Sino-US trade frictions and Trump policies, and the market frequently began to short the stock market and buy US bonds to avoid risk, especially long-term US bonds. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note plummeted from 3.2% in November to 2.7% now. On December 3, the yields on three-year and five-year US Treasuries were even upside down. The upside-down of US Treasury yields is a sign of an extreme crisis in the market. The last time there was an inverted hang was during the 2007 financial crisis. The last time there was an Internet bubble in 2000, was it a harbinger of a huge crisis?

In fact, since the beginning of this year, the major stock indexes of the world's top four economies have all fallen into a bear market, and as China's economy enters a new normal, the world economy has also entered a period of low growth. The ensuing debt problem haunts almost all countries. In such a terrible economic environment, the US Federal Reserve forcibly raised interest rates again in December, and many economies had no choice but to follow the Fed in raising interest rates, which will undoubtedly deal a blow to their own weak economy, and at the same time, the US economy has also been hit hard. Everyone knows that there is no bull market for raising interest rates, not to mention that this is the ninth time that the Federal Reserve has raised interest rates. No matter how good the US economy is and how low the unemployment rate is, can the huge debt of the United States afford it? Can America's huge stock market bubble bear it?

Mark Jolly, global strategist at CCB International Securities, told CNBC: "I want to be more optimistic, but I really don't see much positive." I think the worst will come next year, we are still in the first half of the global stock market bear market, and there will be more coming next year. "

More broadly, investors have little reason to be optimistic, said Vishnu Varathan, head of economics and strategy at Mizuho Bank, because the Fed's tightening of monetary policy means less investment money. The market really doesn't have the confidence to buy it back because they're not sure it's the bottom.

Vasu Menon, vice president of wealth management at OCBC (OCBC) in Singapore, said uncertainty in the trade sector would be a drag on the market in the coming months. Valuations look attractive, but you have to have a strong risk appetite because I think the market is going to be very volatile. "

The harsher year 2019, are you ready?

Yingkou Jianfa Shenghai Phase I 300,000 mt Copper Cathode Project Smelting Furnace Starts Production, Pyrometallurgy System Enters Furnace Drying Stage
At 9:58 on September 12, the core smelting furnace of the pyrometallurgy system at Yingkou Jianfa Shenghai Nonferrous Metals & Chemicals Co., Ltd.'s multi-metal recovery project was successfully ignited, officially entering the furnace drying stage and marking a key step toward full-line commissioning and production. Public information shows that the Yingkou Jianfa Shenghai polymetallic complex gold-silver ore comprehensive recovery technology upgrade, relocation, and expansion project uses copper concentrates as its main raw material, with an overall planned capacity of 600,000 mt/year of copper cathode to be built in two phases, with capacity of 300,000 mt/year in each phase. Phase I is designed to produce 300,000 mt/year of copper cathode and 1.18 million mt/year of sulphuric acid, along with supporting systems for smelting, converting, anode refining, electrolysis, slag beneficiation, and precious metal recovery. After this ignition, the project will carry out standardized furnace drying and hot-state integrated trial runs across the entire system to verify equipment, instruments, interlocks, and automatic control systems. The project has not yet formally started raw material feeding and production; after furnace drying and system commissioning are completed, it will further advance the commissioning of Phase I's 300,000 mt/year copper cathode capacity. If the project is successfully brought into production, it is expected to increase copper smelting capacity in North China and further boost domestic demand for copper concentrate raw materials.

Alchemy Resources Starts Drilling Copper-Gold Targets at Yellow Mountain
Alchemy Resources announced on September 11 that reverse-circulation drilling has commenced across its Yellow Mountain and Overflow projects in New South Wales, Australia, with up to 15 holes planned during the latest exploration campaign.​ At the 80%-owned Yellow Mountain project, drilling will test extensions to previously identified copper-gold and polymetallic mineralisation, as well as two previously undrilled geophysical targets.​ Previous drilling at Yellow Mountain returned an intersection of 113 metres grading 1.17% copper equivalent, comprising 0.33% copper, 0.37 g/t gold, 24.3 g/t silver, 0.86% lead and 1.23% zinc. The latest drilling campaign is designed to test whether the known mineralised system extends into newly identified target areas.​ The program will also include drilling at the Overflow project, where Alchemy is targeting extensions to existing mineralisation along strike and at depth. Overflow currently hosts an inferred mineral resource of approximately 342,000 ounces of gold equivalent and contains gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc mineralisation.​ The commencement of drilling provides a near-term test of the scale and continuity of mineralisation at Yellow Mountain. The previously reported broad copper-gold-polymetallic intersection indicates potential for a sizeable mineralised system, while the newly defined geophysical targets provide additional exploration upside. Drilling results will be important in determining whether the mineralised footprint can be materially expanded.

Freeport CEO Signals Likely Go-Ahead for $4.5 Billion Bagdad Copper Expansion
Freeport-McMoRan Chief Executive Officer Kathleen Quirk has indicated that the company expects to move forward with the proposed expansion of its Bagdad copper mine in Arizona, marking a stronger commitment to the project ahead of a formal investment decision. Speaking at the Jefferies Global Industrials Conference on September 10, Quirk said the project still requires input from Freeport's board but that she expects the company will proceed. She described the expansion as a roughly three-year construction project and noted that no major permitting hurdles are expected. Freeport's latest project estimates put capital expenditure for the Bagdad expansion at approximately US$4.5 billion, around 30% above the previous US$3.5 billion estimate, reflecting cost escalation, scope changes and additional engineering. The project would more than double concentrator capacity at Bagdad and is expected to add approximately 200–250 million lb, or around 91,000–113,000 tonnes, of copper production annually, alongside an additional 10–12 million lb of molybdenum. Bagdad currently has a reserve life exceeding 80 years. Freeport's Q2 2026 regulatory filing had described the project as being prepared for a potential investment decision during the second half of 2026. The latest comments therefore represent a more positive signal from management on the likelihood of development, although formal board approval has not yet been announced. A decision to proceed with Bagdad would represent one of Freeport's most significant near-term copper growth investments in the US. The potential addition of more than 90,000 tonnes per year of copper would materially increase Freeport's US output, although first production would remain several years away given the expected construction period. Attention will now turn to formal board approval and a final investment decision.
