Gold Surging in All Major Currencies / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: GoldCore
Gold rose above the $1,020/oz barrier in late trading in Asia and rose to new 18 months highs at $1,023.60/oz this morning. Despite most analysts calling for a correction, there is buying at these levels and the market appears well supported. Gold's rise is again in all major currencies and not just in dollar and euro. Gold is again knocking on the €700/oz mark. British pound weakness has seen sterling gold rise from £570/oz to over £615/oz in the last month, as sterling has again come under pressure.

By: Adrian_Ash
"Whether through exuberant hedgies or anxious private investors, gold just keeps pushing higher..."

Gold Acting as a Currency / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Christopher_Laird
And it’s being jumped on by a speculator bash. But, gold has good reasons to rally. Caution is warranted because speculators are involved.

Why Politicians Hate Gold / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Greg_Canavan
"Gold is money and nothing else" ~ JP Morgan, testifying to the Pujo Committee, 1913.
Gold's recent breach of the symbolic US$1,000 level has elicited a predictable amount of commentary from mainstream analysts. The problem is, much of it is ill-informed. Due to the general amnesia of most market analysts, of all asset classes gold remains the most misunderstood. In order to comprehend why gold is rising and why it will continue to rise in the years ahead, we need to review some history.

Gold Surges Towards Hitting New New Record Highs / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: GoldCore
Gold reached an 18 month high at $1,017.50/oz in early European trading this morning. Gold has found its footing in the low $1,000s/oz and looks set to launch an assault on the all time record nominal high of $1,033/oz (on March 17th 2008). 18 months ago tomorrow is when gold surged to its record high (in the aftermath of the Lehman's bankruptcy) and much consolidation and base building has been done in the last 18 months. Gold now looks very strong both from a technical point of view and a fundamental point of view.

Financial System Remains Vulnerable One Year After Lehman Brothers Collapse / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: GoldCore
Gold is continuing to knock on the $1000/oz door without making a concerted effort either way to test resistance or support. Although there does not seem to be any particular pressure from profit taking, gold needs to push above $1,012/oz in the short term and $1,020/oz in the longer term for the upward momentum to be regained.

Gold Overbought as New U.S. Debt Issuance Hitting Congress Limits / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Ned_W_Schmidt
Well, the U.S. has another debt problem in the making. This one has been visited before on a regular basis. The U.S. is running out of the ability to issue new debt. So much debt has been issued that the U.S. is bumping up against the statutory debt limit, which is set by Congress. That limit, now don't laugh, was intended to keep the U.S. government from being a runaway debt machine.

Gold and Silver Breakout, You Don’t Mess With The Zohan / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Captain_Hook
You Don’t Mess With The Zohan is the title of a funny flick starring Adam Sandler from which I will borrow a sentiment that should apply to the breakouts in precious metals yesterday. And that is normally you don’t mess with breakouts like this, however in knowing gold and silver continue to be in play via our self-serving bureaucracy / price managers, paranoid as this may sound, I wouldn’t be surprised for a minute if these characters attempt to scuttle the rallies in coming weeks. After all, the dollar ($) is very oversold and susceptible to a correction higher, which is the primary source of concern here. So if it was my job to fix precious metals prices, in knowing they must be let loose at times to build up paper market related speculative excesses, what I would do is allow this to happen at a time just like this, one where it’s thought prices will be held back by the natural drag of seasonal weakness in the stock market.

U.S. Dollar Bounce Knocks Gold Back Below $1000 / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: GoldCore
A bounce in the dollar has pulled gold back from its overnight high of $1009/oz. Gold's inability to sustain a robust move through the psychological $1000/oz barrier has seen a further period of profit taking. The next significant points in either direction for gold, will be support at $990/oz and a close above $1,012/oz. The higher figure will regain the trust of investors that gold can challenge the March 2008 highs of $1,033/oz.

Gold Price Continues to Underperform Other Gold-Related Assets / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Lorimer_Wilson
In spite of the excessive, in-your-face, rhetoric in the hundreds, if not thousands, of newspaper and on-line articles this past week on gold bullion it does not warrant the hype - at least not yet. All one has to do is examine the performance of gold relative to the broad stock market indices and the various commodity-related indices to see that its rise above $1000/oz. is not really that impressive. Don’t get me wrong, I think gold has a very bright future but what has happened over the past week, other than the fact that it is closing in on its all-time high, pales in comparison to all other associated precious metals investment vehicles. Frankly, gold is a laggard, any way one looks at it, as the table below so clearly illustrates:

Silver Breakout Could be False / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Clive_Maund
Human beings have a tendency to forget pain once it has passed, which is of course a good thing, but it is perhaps not so fortunate for many silver traders that they seem to repeatedly forget that silver has a marked tendency to drop much faster than it rises. Over the past couple of weeks silver has risen sharply into the zone of resistance shown on our 3-year chart as investors became excited about the prospects for a gold breakout to new highs, in the process becoming very overbought - critically overbought on its RSI indicator, factors which by themselves give grounds for caution.
