It's
a bloodbath. No matter where you look, global manufacturing surveys are
signaling growth is over (and in most cases, outright contraction is
upon us). JPMorgan's Global Manufacturing PMI fell to its lowest level for over six-and-a-half years and posted back-to-back sub-50.0 readings for the first time since the second half of 2012.
もう血の海だ。皆さんの見立てはどうあれ、世界製造業調査によると成長時期は過ぎ去った（そして多くの場合、全くの収斂が起きている）。JPMorgan's Global Manufacturing PMIが６．５年ぶりの低位になった、連続二期５０．０を切っており、これは２０１２年後半以降はじめてのことだ。
June data signalled a mild decrease in global manufacturing
employment for the second month running (but every sub-index declined in

Of the 30 nations for which a June PMI reading was available, the majority (18) signalled contraction. China,
Japan, Germany, the UK, Taiwan, South Korea, Italy and Russia were

business shrank at the fastest pace since September 2012. This impacted
hiring and business optimism, with the latter at a series-record low. Conditions will need to stage a marked recovery if manufacturing is to revive later in the year.”

Traders are again convinced stocks do nothing but rally indefinitely. That everything-is-awesome mindset has stunted gold’s latest upleg, since there’s no perceived need for prudently diversifying stock-heavy portfolios. But that psychology can change fast, as we saw a half-year ago. Gold investment roars back as stocks roll over. The word “euphoria” is widely misunderstood, often confused with “mania”. The latter is when stocks rocket vertically in blowoff tops, and is defined as “an excessively intense enthusiasm, interest, or desire”. The US stock markets certainly aren’t in a mania. At its latest high last Friday, the flagship US S&P 500 broad-market s...
