Gold Price Rally Marked by Short Covering / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: Dan_Norcini
If there was ever any doubt that the majority of buying by the hedge fund category in the gold market over the past 3-4 weeks has been of the nature of short covering, this week’s COT should put that theory to rest.
Since the third week of July, the hedge fund category alone has covered or lifted 40,000 short positions. That against the addition of only 16,000 or so new long positions over the same time span. By a better than 2:1 margin, hedge funds have been covering shorts, not instituting fresh purchases of gold.

Silver Sold, then Squeezed / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: Alasdair_Macleod
While gold consolidated its recent gains, silver was sold down this week along with other metals and energy. The whole commodity complex suffered badly in the stock-market fall-out, before a sharp bear-squeeze across commodity markets pushed silver, copper and oil sharply higher yesterday (Thursday). Silver is now down 6.8% on the year and gold 5%. Prices were slightly firmer this morning in Asian trade, before the European opening.

Einstein, Physics, Gold and The Formula To End Economic Decay / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: GoldCore
We continue to have a wonderful dialogue with and frequent editorial submissions from readers and clients. Today, we have a thought provoking and important article that should greatly contribute to the debate on the merits of continuing to use artificial money. David Bryan draws on the genius of Einstein and uses science as the basis for policies that would end economic decay and rejuvenate local and national economies and indeed the global economy.

Currency Wars Detonate; Gold Refuses to Budge / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: Sol_Palha
The person who lives by hope will die by despair.
Italian Proverb
Over the years we have frequently stated that every that every major bull market will experience at least one back breaking correction. Usually the correction culminates with a 50% pullback from the highs. In the case of Gold, this would equate to a pullback to $960. The precious metal’s sector had a splendid lope that began in 2003 and ended with spectacular dash in 2011. To think that the Gold bull would continue unabated would be to put it mildly wishful thinking. Sadly, many Gold bugs opted for this line of thought, rather than dealing with reality; the reality being that it was time for the entire sector to let out some steam.

Gold: Bullish in Real Terms, Bearish in Nominal Terms / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: Jordan_Roy_Byrne
Last week when we covered rebound targets in the precious metals sector we also discussed the importance of Gold’s performance in real terms. It can be a leading indicator for the sector at key turning points. Since then precious metals sold off in aggressive fashion alongside global equity markets. However, Gold against equities gained materially. This is something to keep an eye on as it hints that a trend change is boiling under the surface.

Why a Fed Rate Hike Could Be a Blessing for Gold Prices / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: The_Gold_Report
Like a true contrarian, Gold Newsletter publisher Brien Lundin looks beyond the headlines to understand what is really moving precious metals prices. He has concluded that the mainstream media may have it all wrong. Suspected anchors on the gold price such as an interest rate increase and devaluation of the yuan could actually be a rallying cry for commodities, he says in this interview with The Gold Report. And, he points to a baker's dozen of companies poised to take off when the arrows turn.

Keep Your Eye On the Gold and Silver Bear / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: Rambus_Chartology
Tonight we’re going to look at the precious metals complex and get focused again as this is the area we need to concentrate our efforts right now IMHO. All the volatility in the stock markets has many taking their eyes off the ball of what may turn out to be the trade of a lifetime for some of you. I’m just as guilty as the next person trying to play the stock markets looking for that big trade that is so elusive right now. The stock markets are like a veg o matic chopping up both the bulls and the bears alike.
I have made a couple of small trades trying to catch one of the swings but the volatility is very hard to deal with. Back in 2000 after the markets topped I began to play the short side as bear markets can be very profitably if you can catch them just right. What I learned back then was you had to be dead on the money with your entry points because the volatility would knock you out before the move you were looking for actually took place. It looks easy in hindsight when you view the long term charts of bear markets but trading them in real time is a whole different ballgame.

The Gold and Silver “Shortage”? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: David_Morgan
By Chris Marchese : A pet peeve of mine is when an article is published talking about a shortage in silver or gold. Recently, we have seen an increase in articles claiming that there is a precious metals shortage simply because both the U.S. mint and Royal Canadian Mint ran out of blanks. Both government mints predetermine a rough amount they will mint at the start of the year. When demand surges, a “bottleneck” can occur and this has happened in the past.
Why is this such a pet peeve? Because a shortage in a specific silver product does NOT mean a shortage in the raw material. It would be like saying there is a rice shortage if Rice Krispies stopped being produced momentarily.

Gold Facts and Gold Speculations / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: DeviantInvestor
Gold was valuable 3,000 years ago and will be valuable 3,000 years from now. But can you say the same for dollars, euros, yen, or pounds?
Gold maintains its value (on average) over centuries. Can you expect similar longevity for debt based fiat currencies that are managed by politicians and created with printing presses or computers in central banks?

Gold and Silver: Heading for a “Blue Screen of Death” Event? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: David_Morgan
David H. Smith writes: For personal computer users who by choice or circumstance, find themselves using a version of the Microsoft Windows operating software family, a dreaded condition known as the “Blue Screen of Death” (BSoD) is a seldom occurring, yet ever-present possibility. Wikipedia defines it as being caused by poorly written device drivers or malfunctioning hardware, such as faulty memory, power supply issues, overheating of components or hardware running beyond its specification limits.

Silver And The Petrodollar / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: Hubert_Moolman
Many have mistakenly dismissed silver as just another commodity like oil, for example. If one looks at how silver has traded since 2001, in comparison with oil, one might agree with that mistaken believe. Below is a comparison of silver and oil since 2001 (charts from stockcharts.com):

Gold and Silver Risk On / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: Alasdair_Macleod
This week market relationships underwent a sea-change, with a sudden realisation that the global economy is in a deepening crisis. Equity valuations in the developed nations are falling sharply and corporate bond spreads are widening, triggering a flight to the relative safety of government bonds. Gold and silver prices have recovered somewhat this week, with gold now 9% up from its lows of six weeks ago, and silver 8%.

Gold And Silver – NWO In Its Element: Problem, Reaction, Solution. Beware / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: Michael_Noonan
Last week, we lamented how difficult it was to get a fix on the so many things going on in the world, and going wrong. It occurs to us that we are all in the midst of the New World Order going about business as usual, creating Problems, and the bigger the better, then watching reactions of the masses, even governments. The worse possible the problems, the more horrifying the Reactions the better. For waiting in the wings is their planned Solution, all leading toward global takeover under a one world rule, like the UN.

Gold Reaches Rebound Targets / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: Jordan_Roy_Byrne
Precious metals for the most part have reached their initial rebound targets. Gold has led the charge by pushing above $1140 to $1150/oz resistance (for now) while Silver rebounded back to former support (the mid $15s). GDXJ has nearly touched $23 but GDX has failed to touch $17. This leaves us to question how much upside could be left and what happens next.
