Currently the US dollar is hovering around a support level, which is the 76- 79 range. Only time will tell if the US$ breaks down sending gold to new highs in the coming months.

Gold and Silver Mining stocks are Trading Sideways, Consolidation or Another Top? / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Przemyslaw_Radomski
Various news media reported this week that demand for gold sank to a five and a half year low in the second quarter of 2009 after jewelry consumption dropped by more than one fifth. This sounds discouraging, but before jumping to final conclusions, let’s take a closer look at the data itself (courtesy of World Gold Council). Let’s keep in mind that journalists can sometimes slant the figures, or ignore those that don’t fit their story.

The Raging Bull Market in Resources / Commodities / Resources Investing
By: The_Gold_Report
Investors who picked up on Victor Gonçalves' resource stock picks late last year have realized gains of up to 800%, so the views he shares in this exclusive Gold Report interview may prove profitable to consider. After all, quips the Equities & Economics Report producer, "Walking away with money is what you want to do." Victor considers the resource sector "the best place to be"—in fact, he says we're "just short of a raging bull." Investors might want to use his insights on a couple of well-positioned juniors to take advantage if his predictions again pan out.

Big Autumn Silver Bull Market Rally Forecast / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Zeal_LLC
Silver’s fundamentals offer plenty of reasons to be bullish in the coming years. Relentlessly growing global investment demand coupled with reduced production is a recipe for much higher prices. With something like 3/4ths of all the silver mined globally being merely a byproduct, primarily of base metals, supplies will remain constrained. Investors will have to compete in a tiny market for this scarce metal.

By: LiveCharts

By: David_Petch
Oil - The daily chart of the oil is shown below, with all three upper Bollinger bands riding above the index, while the lower 21 MA BB is rising to meet the index. The lower 34 and 55 MA BB’s are in close proximity to each other and the 34 MA BB should begin to rise if a moderate leg down were to occur. Full stochastics 1, 2 and 3 are shown below in order of descent, with the %K above the %D in 2 and 3.

USD, US Treasuries, Gold, Crude Oil and Copper Charting Perspective / Commodities / Commodities Trading
By: Garry_Abeshouse
The change in sentiment occurring at the moment recognises that equities are overpriced. If this is the case then conservative money will certainly go elsewhere - and for now, it looks like the USD and US T-Notes and T-Bonds are it.

The Most Important Aspect that most Economists and Analysts Fail to Recognize / Commodities / Energy Resources
By: Steve_St_Angelo
EROI…Energy Returned on Energy Invested
The biggest problem that most economists and analysts fail to comprehend when making forecasts and predictions on the US Dollar, Precious Metals, Financials or the whole Economy in general, is the ability to get to the Root of the Problem. Most of them are using information and methodologies that are either outdated, superficial or completely worthless.
