New Upleg in Natural Gas ETF UNG / Commodities / Natural Gas
By: Mike_Paulenoff
Commodities in general, but the oil and gas complex in particular, are very strong in the early going this AM... Let's have a look at the pattern that is emerging in the U.S. Nat Gas Fund ETF (NYSE: UNG). Purely from a technical perspective this morning’s thrust above near-term resistance at 13.15/20 has triggered the ignition of a new upleg that should hurdle and sustain above 14.00 on the way to 14.30, then 15.00/30 thereafter.

Precious Metals, Gold and Silver are Ready to Shine / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Przemyslaw_Radomski
In the previous essay I mentioned that a brief consolidation is in the cards and is likely to take place immediately, or after additional few more days of rising gold, silver and PM stock prices, and a small dip in the USD Index. I stated that:
(…) if mining stocks break down from the triangle pattern, the following move should be rather insignificant - I don't think that it would take the GDX ETF below 37 level.

Buying Gold & Gold Investing / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Andrew_Abraham
Buying Gold is picking up. The question is will Gold take out the $1,000 price range this time? Gold investing has been quiet recently. There seems no interest in the news since Gold fell off earlier in the summer. Buying Gold has fallen off. Now since buying Gold has fallen off…will Gold take out $1,000 this time since no one expects it to?

Why Gold Could Breakout to $1,300 by End of 2009 / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Graham_Summers
Gold may be nearing its next major leg up.
No investment ever goes straight up or straight down. During the last bull market in gold, the precious metal rose 2,329% from a low of $35 in 1970 to a high of $850 in 1980. However, during that time, there was a period of 18 months in which gold fell nearly 50% (see the chart below).

Which Commodity ETF to Trade, Gold, Crude Oil or Natural Gas? / Commodities / Commodities Trading
By: Bill_Downey
In the markets of today, investors and speculators alike have the ability to participate in a lot more than company stocks. With the advent of ETF’s, market participants can now diversify into the realm of currencies, gold, crude oil, grains, agriculture and a host of other avenues. In the past if one wanted to play the above commodities he/she would pretty much have to purchase a futures contract or an option on the futures. And that is the world of high leverage and high risk/reward.

Big Bounce in Commodities Gold, Silver, Oil and Nat Gas / Commodities / Commodities Trading
By: Chris_Vermeulen
Last week we saw commodities sell down then put in solid bounce, which allowed us to generate new pivot lows for drawing support trend lines. This is the exact type of price action I have been waiting for. Natural Gas did nothing special but crude oil put in a very strong bounce and is now trading at a double resistance level which is explained later in the report.

Gold Friday Price Surge, Volume Will Point the Way / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Merv_Burak
If it wasn’t for Friday it would have been a miserable week for gold. It would be interesting to know the trading volume on Friday (it’s not usually available until Monday, for what reason has always been a mystery to me). More about this volume business below.

Long Term Look at the Commodities CRB and Silver / Commodities / CRB Index
By: Tim_Wood
Every market is comprised of cycles of various durations. Each of these cycles is constantly ebbing and flowing with one another much like the currents, the tide, the waves and ripples in the ocean. Sometimes these different cycles are moving together and sometimes they move in opposition. In cycles analysis the trend is defined as the direction of the next larger cycle.

Profitably Playing the Next MegaMove in Gold and Silver / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: DeepCaster_LLC
“Is it not a huge conflict of interest that JP Morgan (JPM), a bank that perpetually ranks among the largest short positions against silver on the COMEX, is the custodian for the iShares Silver Trust (SLV)? According to silver analyst Ted Butler, JP Morgan is consistently among the one or two U.S. banks that hold more than 80% to 90% of the entire commercial net short position in COMEX silver futures. If you have positioned yourself to make huge profits from drops in the price of silver, is it reasonable for you to simultaneously desire investors to buy more physical silver (if indeed the SLV holds the amount of physical silver it claims)?

Gold Rockets with the Euro / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Mike_Paulenoff
Gold prices and the SPDR Gold Shares (NYSE: GLD) have rocketed in sympathy with the thrust in euro/dollar to 1.4250 from 1.4030. What caused the simultaneous sudden spikes in gold and euro right now remains a mystery. However, the fact is that today’s surge in the GLD is pushing up against important resistance at 94.00, which if hurdled should trigger a run at more critical resistance at 95.85.

Falling Global Gold Production / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Zeal_LLC
There is no denying gold’s store-of-value relevance throughout the history of the world. It has been and will always be the ultimate form of currency. Even today gold’s alluring and timeless qualities transcend every political, social, and monetary boundary that man puts into place. Gold’s core fundamentals will forever be rock solid.

Gold BreakOut on U.S. Dollar Devalution Expectations? / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Julian_DW_Phillips
Some sage gold watchers are expecting a major $ devaluation before the end of the year! Some say it could be any day now. Certainly the fundamentals have pointed that way, as we have discussed for some time now, this despite the repeated "Strong $ Policy" statement from this and the last Administration. The concept is no doubt alarming and implies a radical change in global economics.

By: Uncommon_Wisdom
Sean Brodrick writes: China leads the world in many things, including the amount of ground lost to desertification or ecological disaster.
At the same time, the Chinese are changing their eating habits … eating more food and especially more beef. As a result, despite bumper crops, China is becoming more at risk of being unable to feed itself.

Short Term Bulls Slip Up in Crude Oil / Commodities / Crude Oil
By: Seven_Days_Ahead
The rebound in Crude Oil (NYMEX) seen in July, off clear technical support, was no surprise. But we questioned the longevity of this, believing that the bears still had something up their sleeve. We therefore had assumed that this bounce was of a corrective/temporary nature, and decided to maintain a bearish stance in the Commodity Trading Guide. So far, we remain happy with this.

Commodities Still a Lot More Attractive Than Stocks / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Graham_Summers
One has to admit, the stock market has shown remarkable resilience during this crisis. If we are to assume that the stock market has bottomed (I doubt it), then stocks managed to do so at levels far higher than they usually hit during recessions.
