The Comey testimony just ensured that Trump’s legislative goals will be kept in chaos
Former FBI Director James Comey’s prepared opening remarks before the Senate Intelligence Committee were released Wednesday, kicking off a beehive of media attention the day before Comey heads to Capitol Hill.
While the legal and political implications of the testimony for Trump remain unclear, policy analysts say the event — which has been likened to the Super Bowl — will only hurt Trump’s legislative agenda going forward.
“There’s nothing in [the prepared Comey testimony] that’s really new, that we didn’t know from media reports,” Issac Boltansky of political analysis firm Compass Point told Business Insider. “There’s no smoking gun to point to that seems to make a case for obstruction of justice.”
Despite the apparent lack of new information in Comey’s prepared testimony, Boltansky said, the hearing would likely confirm the prior opinions of lawmakers and the public. That could be a hindrance to Trump’s plans for tax cuts, a healthcare overhaul, and infrastructure investments.
“What’s real is that the hands of time continue to fall,” Boltansky said. “This is a sideshow, but it’s a sideshow that comes at a time that threatens the president’s and Republicans’ agenda from getting done anytime soon.”
Greg Valliere, chief strategist at Horizon Investment, agreed that the testimony represents a threat to anything Trump wants to do.
“Both parties will claim their narratives were reinforced, so this mess will drag on and on — and it surely means that the Trump agenda, which is stalled, will stay stalled,” Valliere told Business Insider in an email after the release of Comey’s remarks.
Boltansky said Democrats were likely to make life tough for Trump and the GOP, but there is a stronger case for that resistance now.
“Congress is like the NFL, it’s a copy cat league,” Boltansky told Business Insider. “Democrats saw that obstruction can work, so they know they can block Trump’s agenda by slowing everything down and they can use the Russia investigation as cover to do that.”
In the near-term, Valliere said, the biggest risk comes from Trump’s reaction to the testimony more than anything it will likely contain.
“Let’s see how Trump reacts to this testimony. If he rants tonight and tomorrow, he could suffer more self-inflicted damage,” Valliere wrote, saying Trump should be calm since Comey’s prepared remarks “could have been worse.”

Will “Boycott America” Follow Trump’s Paris Accord Withdrawal?
http://ift.tt/eA8V8J
Trump’s withdrawal from the Paris Accord will likely lead to an international boycott of American goods and of travel to the United States. Trump may quickly learned that the world won’t sit idly by and let him put mankind, particularly our children, at grave risk.

Gold Speculators sharply raised bullish net positions after 3 down weeks
Gold Non-Commercial Positions:
Large speculators boosted their bullish net positions in the gold futures markets last week following three weeks of substantial declines, according to the latest Commitment of Traders (COT) data released by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) on Friday.
The non-commercial futures contracts of Comex gold futures, traded by large speculators and hedge funds, totaled a net position of 159,767 contracts in the data reported through May 23rd. This was a weekly gain of 33,043 contracts from the previous week which had a total of 126,724 net contracts.
The weekly jump in bullish net positions was the largest one week gain since February and brought the overall net level to the best position since May 2nd. Gold positions had fallen over -73,000 in the previous three weeks.
Gold Commercial Positions:
The commercial traders position, categorized by the CFTC as hedgers or traders engaged in buying and selling for business purposes, totaled a net position of -174,291 contracts last week. This is a weekly decrease of -31,432 contracts from the total net of -142,859 contracts reported the previous week.
Over the same weekly reporting time-frame, from Tuesday to Tuesday, the GLD ETF, which tracks the price of gold, closed at approximately $119.14 which was a rise of $1.49 from the previous close of $117.65, according to ETF financial market data.
*COT Report: The COT data, released weekly to the public each Friday, is updated through the previous Tuesday (data is 3 days old) and shows a quick view of how large speculators or non-commercials (for-profit traders) as well as the commercial traders (hedgers & traders for business purposes) were positioned in the futures markets. The CFTC categorizes trader positions according to commercial hedgers (traders who use futures contracts for hedging as part of the business), non-commercials (large traders who speculate to realize trading profits) and nonreportable traders (usually small traders/speculators).
