Note : The purpose of this column is to provide educational insights into the tenets of geocosmic studies as they correspond to economic, political, and socio-psychological matters, as one of several tools that in turn may assist in the practice of financial market timing. This column is not intended, nor should it be used, as an advisory service for trading financial markets, without use of other financial market analysis tools. MMA subscription reports provide that type of advisory service, with specific recommendations for trading.
Review and Preview :
U.S. inflation eased in December for the sixth straight month following a mid-2022 peak as the Federal Reserve aggressively raised interest rates and the economy showed signs of cooling. The consumer-price index, a measurement of what consumers pay for goods and services, rose 6.5% last month from a year earlier, down from 7.1% in November and well below a 9.1% peak in June. - Gwenn Guilford, "U.S. Inflation Slowed for Sixth Straight Month in December", Wall Street Journal, Jan 12, 2023.
The federal government ran an $85 billion deficit in December, a wider shortfall than in the same month a year earlier, as the government's debt burden nears its legal limit. The federal deficit . widened by 12% in the first few months of the fiscal year that began in October as rising interest rates increase borrowing costs for the government. The government posted a record deficit for the month of November in 2022. The Treasury has spent $57 billion more, a 37% increase, on paying for the government's debt so far this fiscal year than it did in the same period a year earlier, the largest source of higher government spending. The federal government is approaching the roughly $31.4 trillion limit on borrowing set by Congress. As of Tuesday, the government has borrowed roughly $31.3 trillion. - Andrew Duehren, "Federal Deficit Widened to $85 Billion in December", Wall Street Journal, Jan 12, 2023.
In an act of gleeful revenge against all bearish pundits, Mars turning direct late last week coincided with strong rallies in several major world stock indices. The Trickster, Mercury retrograde, who is also on the loose through January 18, couldn't be happier, because this may be his chance to enact another one of his famous fake outs.
In Asia and the Pacific Rim, it wasn't quite so glorious as in other regions of the world. Still, the Australian ASX and Shanghai Composite rose to new monthly highs, the latter in compliance to our outlook on Chinese markets given in last week's special webinar for China. The big action, however, was in Hong Kong where the Hang Seng soared to a new 6-month high. The rally in Japan's Nikkei index was rather anemic, and in India, everything was upside down as the NIFTY fell to its lowest level since late October. This was the only major index we watch that was actually lower last week.
The most glorious celebrations were in European equity markets. The London FTSE came within striking distance of an all-time high on Friday, reaching 7864, just a shade below the ATH of 7903 recorded on May 18, 2018. The German DAX and Netherlands AEX reached their highest levels since February 2022. The Zurich SMI made a 7-month high. All seems quite well in Europe this New Year, but we must not forget: The Trickster is still on the loose and Europe isn't doing that well as we enter the midst of winter. Last week's warm weather helped, perhaps with the support of Jupiter in the fire sign Aries. Maybe it will last, which would put a wrench in Vladimir Putin's strategy of pain by freezing.
The market behavior in the U.S. was somewhere between Europe's and Asia's. All major U.S. indices rallied last week, but still remain below their highs of December 13. The NASDAQ isn't that far off its yearly lows. With Uranus about to change directions on January 22, this could become a problem. The cosmic disruptor has a penchant for breaking through markets that are near their yearly highs or lows.
Other markets also exhibited spectacular behavior last week. Bitcoin and Ethereum jumped to new cycle highs, exhibiting their first bullish chart pattern since late March. Of course, back then, the crypto markets suddenly reversed a week later and resumed their downtrend to their yearly low of this past November. But this time the signal could be different because the time and price parameters for a new bull market are starting to be met as described in our Bitcoin subscription reports. We will review them again in tomorrow's weekly Bitcoin report.
Just as exciting - maybe more - is the Gold market, which has just exploded over the past two months. On Friday, it closed at 1923, up over $300 since its low on November 3, just a couple of days after Mars turned retrograde. The retrograde ends now, as of January 12. Does the rally end here too? We'll have some strong thoughts on that as well in the weekly Gold and Silver reports coming out tomorrow.

We'll have some strong thoughts on that as well in the weekly Gold and Silver reports coming out tomorrow.
SHORT-TERM GEOCOSMICS :
The decision by the Kremlin to return Russia's top commander to direct the war efforts in Ukraine comes at a pivotal point in the conflict, possibly heralding a fresh Russian offensive as Moscow grapples for success on the battlefield... Russia had expected the invasion would be followed by a rapid victory last year but instead has become bogged down in a long and costly conflict. "This is confirmation that there will be serious offensives coming", said Mark Galeotti, principal director of London-based consulting firm Mayak Intelligence and longtime Russia watcher. - Thomas Grove, "Russia Aims to Regain Offensive in Ukraine War", Wall Street Journal, January 13, 2023.
We now begin the first major time band of geocosmic activity taking place this year, and probably the most important for the entire first quarter. As stated last week, "But looking ahead, a stronger period for political and financial market activity is looming, when three planets will change direction. The first will be Mars turning direct in Gemini on January 12. This is more powerful than Mercury turning direct, which takes place on January 18, but probably equally as explosive as Uranus changing directions on January 22. The two together (Mars and Uranus) being highlighted by their stations January 12-22 can be very disruptive."
As traders, we would especially focus on any market that made a primary cycle low or high near the time that Mars turned retrograde on October 31. This would coincide with the Hang Seng and Shanghai Composite stock indices, which both bottomed exactly on October 31. It would also apply to Gold, which bottomed November 3, and any other market that bottomed or peaked (or made double tops or double bottoms) within 10 days of October 31, such as the Dollar/Yen, Wheat, Corn, and T-Notes.
Mars's retrograde coincides with other human activities as well. Mars is the god of war and aggression. And as if exactly on cue, here come headlines that Russian President Vladimir Putin is readying another major military offensive to destroy Ukraine. Maybe, with Mercury also retrograde, he will change his mind or alter his strategy. If not, well, this becomes another fundamental reason for Gold prices rising. But all those retrograde cycles ending the next 10 days imply changes in several different sectors of human activity. It may be best not to get too attached at any definite courses of action just yet.

Each foreign translation of Forecast 2024 has a section on that nation's stock market that is not in the English or other nations' Forecast Book.

We created an updated list of our most common Forecast FAQs to help this Forecast season.
Note 4 : The English version of the Monthly Chinese Shanghai Composite Report was released last week.
We are pleased to announce that there is now an ETF with the symbol ASHR that is an index tracking 300 of the largest and most liquid Chinese shares and closely follows the Shanghai Composite Index (SSE).

Each monthly report of this important market is 5-8 pages in length and includes daily and weekly charts, with a list of geocosmic indicators and critical reversal dates for the next several weeks, and what to expect. These reports also include an additional feature on the solar/lunar signals in effect each month for the SSE based on current studies underway by MMTA student Yating Hu. These will identify the 2-4 most likely periods, lasting 1-3 days each month, when the probability is greatest for trading cycle highs and lows based on the historical studies of the SSE since its inception in December 1990.

"My perspective on the markets, and perhaps life, have changed dramatically since being gifted the privilege of joining MMTA2. I am extremely grateful for having been given the opportunity to learn directly from you". - Kyle M, MMTA2 graduate, North Carolina, programmer, trader, and high school math teacher.
" Attached is my final research project on the cotton market.as always critiques are welcomed!! Doing these research projects and really dissecting the cotton market during this course has allowed me to trade cotton very successfully over the last year. It is extremely rewarding to do the work and then to watch it unfold according to plan". - Wyatt F, Wisconsin, MMTA2 graduate, Owner of large family farm operation, and now as MMA analyst.
" Thank you for all your help through MMTA2, it was one of the best things I have ever done". - Renato R, Australia, MMTA graduate.
I am oftentimes asked for recommendations of a money manager who uses my methods, since I won't manage other people's money. The thing is, almost all money managers I know use their own systems. But many subscribe to my services and share my thoughts about the future of the economy, various financial markets, and how to position one's portfolio along these lines. One money manager who subscribes to our services that I would suggest for those looking to structure a longer-term portfolio, such as a retirement account, is Duke O'Neill of Boulder, Colorado. He can be reached at dukeoneil1@gmail.com, or 1-(303) 545-5837. For those looking for a professional trader of commodity and futures contract might consider Ted Lee Fisher at ted.fisher@comcast.net. Ted is a legend in financial futures and has a seat on the CME. Both are very knowledgeable of the tools I use, of the way I am looking at markets, and yet each makes their own decisions as to exactly when to enter and exit any market. They will be more than happy to assist you.
To the above list, I would also like to recommend long-term MMA subscriber Erwin Brunner of Zurich, Switzerland. Mr. Brunner is the founder of BrunnerInvest AG. One of his five funds was awarded theBest in-house fund of funds in the world recently. Mr. Brunner is a former director of the Swiss Banking Corporation (today it is known as UBS), and a general director of Rothschild Bank in Zurich. As an independent wealth manager for high net worth individuals and institutional clients only, he places his clients into the funds of the best performing fund managers in the world, via his own research and experience. For high net worth readers interested in Mr. Brunner's funds, please contact him through www.brunnerinvest.ch.
It is with great pleasure that I announce the addition of Egon von Greyerz to MMA Investment Retreat faculty of presenters. I met Egon last week in Girona, Spain, at a special gathering attended by MMTA Graduates Nitin Bhandari (India), Philipp Beyer (Germany), Henry Canciglia (USA) and myself. Egon is an expert on Gold. He owns Matterhorn Asset Management, a Swiss Asset Management company specializing in wealth preservation, located in Zurich ( www.goldswitzerland.com). He was also the person who initiated the "..Save Our Swiss G"...Act in Switzerland late last year, which would have required the Swiss National Bank to back up their assets with 20% Gold holdings. The initiative failed, but his reasons for initiating this effort are still valid. Egon is very interested in MMA cycles' work, and will share his outlook on Gold and the world debt. This is a real treat!
The newly revised The Sun, The Moon, and Silver Book : Secrets of a Silver Trader, is now out. This is a book that you will use as a reference guide for...many, many years. It identifies all the key Sun-Moon combinations that have a higher (and lower) than expected probability of correlating with 4% or greater reversals in COMEX Silver. It also identifiesBig Range Days - those days in which the range of Silver is most likely to be 3.5% or more of the price of Silver, which is a great tool for day traders. This book fulfills the dream of all traders : high probability winning trade possibilities, with minimal market exposure. It is thatextra edge. And Silver is a great market to trade now. The cost is $125.00. For ordering on line.
The new book titled Solar-Lunar Keys to Gold Prices : Secrets of a Gold Trader, is now out. The long awaited sequel to the Secrets of a Silver Trader is due out in late October (maybe before)!!!
Now, GOLD as you have never seen it by night or day. The studies for the soon-to-be-released book are now completed and the results are now being used in the weekly and daily MMA subscription reports for short-term trading strategies in Gold. That's right... historically tested Solar-Lunar Correlations to trading reversals in the Gold Market - as only available from Raymond Merriman. The studies cover over 40 years of daily Gold, starting from December 31, 1974 through April 2015.

Disclaimer and statement of purpose : The purpose of this column is not to predict the future movement of various financial markets. However, that is the purpose of the MMA (Merriman Market Analyst) subscription services. This column is not a subscription service. It is a free service, except in those cases where a fee may be assessed to cover the cost of translating this column from English into a non-English language. This weekly report is written with the intent to educate the reader on the relationship between astrological factors and collective human activities as they are happening. In this regard, this report will oftentimes report what happened in various stock and financial markets throughout the world in the past week, and discuss that movement in light of the geocosmic signatures that were in effect. It will then identify the geocosmic factors that will be in effect in the next week, or even month, or even years, and the author’s understanding of how these signatures will likely affect human activity in the times to come. The author (Merriman) will do this from a perspective of a cycle’s analyst looking at the military, political, economic, and even financial markets of the world. It is possible that some forecasts will be made based on these factors. However, the primary goal is to both educate and alert the reader as to the psychological climate we are in, from an astrological perspective. The hope is that it will help the reader understand these psychological dynamics that underlie (or coincide with) the news events and hence financial markets of the day.
