Housekeeping: Good Morning. “Comex is dying”Topic: * Howard Marks on the Logic of Free Trade * Platinum's TurnMarket Analysis:In a private letter to his fund investors this month, Howard Marks delivered a comprehensive critique of interventionist economic policy, emphasizing that efforts to override fundamental economic laws—such as supply and demand, incentives, and market pricing—tend to produce more harm than good.* Continues in the Premium post: Howard Marks: The Logic of Free TradePlatinum's TurnYesterday’s Market RundownIn yesterday morning’s Premium Post Gold and Silver Outlook for 2025; we laid out why the Platinum rally would likely continue. One factor not properly processed by banks calling for it to be only temporary, in our opinion, was China demand. We continually hear of the high price of platinum and silver being detrimental to further Chinese demand. But we believe that is wrong.Continuing from that analysisThe price of platinum and silver are not high. We believe the high price of gold is driving demand into the white metals by Asians seeing value.Certainly the banks are not long silver—we know this for sure. And many (most?) were short platinum before the face-ripping rally that just happened.During the day we initiated a position and let subscribers know in a minipodFrom that post: Trading wise, we put on a position. We got long platinum with the spot market trading 1338 for a reference point.
