By: Mike_Shedlock

Earlier today the ECB Caved in on "Temporary" Defaults and Collateral.

It is important to note that the ECB did not "allow" a default, rather the bond market forced the ECB to accept default. The stock market reacted as if the announcement meant something, but gold gave a big yawn.

ECB Caves in on Temporary Debt Defaults, Which Country Will be Next? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011

By: Mike_Shedlock

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleAs Greek 2-year debt yields hit 39.15% the bond market finally forced the ECB's hand, and Trichet comes out looking foolish, not only on his "we say no to default" stance, even temporary defaults, but also on his ridiculous bluff repeated for the nth time just 2 days ago regarding the acceptance of Greek bonds as collateral.

When Will the Gold Bull Market Turn Into a Mania? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011

By: Aftab_Singh

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleAs our readers may know, we’re suckers for the theory that markets move in generational cycles. The basic idea is that the knee-jerk reaction is often the strongest one and that investors have a tendency to ‘stick to what they know’. The length of the prime of one generation’s career seems to be a suitable period of time for such ‘things that people know’ to become firmly lodged. Ironically, such lodging is a dire circumstance in a business that amounts to pseudo-futurology.

Gold and Commodities 2011 Halftime Report / Commodities / Commodities Trading

By: Frank_Holmes

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleCommodities don’t all perform in the same way. In any given year, a particular commodity will go gangbusters and outperform the group. However, that commodity will typically come back to Earth and underperform the following year or the year after that. This is why active management is important when investing in commodities. Active managers can benefit from rotating from winners to laggards or by investing in the companies which produce, farm or mine commodities most effectively.

Gold Price Nearing Resistance / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011

By: Joseph_Russo

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleAs bullish as I am, and have been on Gold since 2003, I am still rather impressed with the latest run-up to fresh highs.   To be frank, I was expecting more downside beyond the recent pivot low at 1478, and was a bit surprised at how quickly the shiny metal took out its early May high.

Embracing the most bullish of Elliott Wave subdivisions from the primary 4-wave base at 681 in October of 2008, I am reading the current advance as an intermediate (3) wave along Gold’s long journey to toward completing its primary fifth.   Once done, the current thrust to fresh highs may mark all-of (3).

Fall in U.S. Real Interest Rates to Send Gold Over $1800 / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011

By: Bob_Kirtley

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleOne of main determinants of gold prices in the medium to long term is US real interest rates. US real rates are the rate of interest that can be earned on US Government bonds, minus the expected rate of inflation. One can monitor US real rates by watching the yields on Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) and we watch them closely since they exhibit a negative relationship with gold.

The Case for Gold Price Manipulation / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011

By: The_Gold_Report

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleAs a geologist by training, it's no surprise that S&A Resource Report Editor Matt Badiali takes a data-driven approach to investing. In this exclusive Gold Report interview, he shares calculations for trailing stops and strategies to take profits with prospect generators and points to the signs of gold price manipulation.

The Gold Report: Matt, in the June edition of S&A Resource Report, you wrote that resource stocks could see some pullback once quantitative easing (QE) was no longer injecting money into the system. QE2 ended last week. Is your thesis proving correct and what are your strategies to mitigate post-QE2 portfolio risk? Read full article... Read full article...

Gold and Silver Ready for Big-Time Run as Global Breakdown Begins / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011

By: Jordan_Roy_Byrne

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleAn important shift in global markets is taking place and it bears introspection. Gold has broken to a new high while Silver has established a bottom. Precious metals stocks have rebounded significantly from support. At the same time, important global stock markets are in the early stage of a technical breakdown. We don’t foresee a repeat of 2007-2008, yet odds are good that global stock markets are beginning a cyclical bear market and unlike the last cycle this is coming at a time when precious metals are set to accelerate to the upside.

Gold's Historic Rally Fuelled by Negative Interest Rates and Euro Disintegration / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011

By: Gary_Dorsch

Diamond Rated - Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleThe Federal Reserve has just ended its $600-billion Treasury bond-buying program, known as QE-2, and already, traders are trying to figure what new tricks the Fed might have up its sleeve, in order counter a significant correction in the US-stock market in the second half of 2011. Including QE-1 and QE-2, the Fed pumped $2.35-trillion into the coffers of the Wall Street Oligarchs. Together with near-zero interest rates, and the printing of trillions of dollars the Fed fueled a speculative stampede into the commodity and stock markets, enabling traders to record bumper profits, while doing little to reduce the jobless rate.

Gold is Not Money / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011

By: Bob_Kirtley

So there you have it, after 6000 years of being money, gold is not money according the Federal Reserve Chairman, Ben Bernanke. Ron Paul asked him directly and the answer was ‘no’ as you can see on this five minute clip. This is a strange comment coming at a time when gold prices are making all time highs as we can see on chart below, where gold is sitting at $1590.10/oz.

By: Puru_Saxena

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleThe majority of the world’s developed economies are growing at a sluggish pace, yet the price of NYMEX crude is trading around US$100 per barrel.  Interestingly, the price of Brent Crude (the price most nations pay) is even higher!

You may recall that during the last oil spike in 2008, world governments blamed those wily speculators.  Therefore, in order to diminish speculation, the authorities banned leveraged ‘long’ oil exchange traded funds.
