Gold and The General Stock Market - Rallying or Topping? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Przemyslaw_Radomski
In the March 31st 2010 commentary, we've analyzed the general stock market along with the price of gold, and one of the things that we wrote was that a significant decline is not very likely at this point and the general market could rally further.

Gold Bull Market is Back in Play / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Seven_Days_Ahead
The Macro Trader’s view:
Our views on Gold have been well aired over the months, if not years. We are long-term bulls. But the market has suffered several steep and often protracted corrections that have on occasion endured for months.
We judge the market is currently in such a phase, but shows signs that it is now coming to an end. Naturally we expect price action to resolve into a fresh leg of the long Bull Run. But what have been the dynamics behind the market over recent months and why now is it beginning to retest the upside?

While some analysts are touting natural gas as the substitute for oil, BMO Capital Markets' Oil and Gas Analyst Mark Leggett says he doesn't see natural gas replacing oil in the near term. In this exclusive interview with The Energy Report, Mark says that the infrastructure isn't in place to allow natural gas to become a tangible replacement for oil any time soon. Mark is also still a big fan of oil sands projects in Canada and says that production from those projects can help meet the demand for oil in the coming years.

By: Casey_Research
Joe Hung, Editor, Casey’s Energy Report writes: Imagine the price of gold jumping to $1,500 overnight... what would that do to the price of junior mining companies? That's what just happened to the price of coal - it jumped 38% in one day!
Coal is dirty, it's dusty, and it sends environmentalists into a tizzy. It's also the most rapidly growing fuel source in the world, it's broadly distributed with almost 70 countries having economically recoverable resources, and the energy found in it still exceeds that in all other fossil fuels combined.
