How to Protect Your Wealth With Commodity Trading / Commodities / Commodities Trading

By: Andrew_Abraham

Everyone is concerned these days on how to protect their net wealth. Nothing is safe. Leaving your money…regardless if it is British pounds ( which fell from the low 2.00 to 1.60s to the US dollar), the US dollar or even Eurodollars ( do to a breakup in the EU). So far the specter of inflation has not come to life.

The Long-term Crude Oil Bull Market / Commodities / Crude Oil

By: The_Gold_Report

In this exclusive interview with The Energy Report, the 35-year veteran of oil analysis shares his knowledge of energy markets and reveals some of his own investment strategies.

With Inflation on the Horizon, Gold Prices are Ready to Rocket / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009

By: Money_Morning

Jason Simpkins writes: With the global economy on the mend, could gold be gearing up for another record-setting run? It sure looks that way. After peaking north of the $1,000 per ounce price level last year, gold hit a stumbling block when deflationary fears in the world's largest economy sucked the air out of commodities prices and sent hoards of investors stampeding into the safe-haven of U.S. Treasuries, and helped spawn a rebound in the U.S. dollar. Since that time, the global economic outlook - especially beyond U.S. borders - has improved, and gold prices have stabilized. The next step - many gold bulls say - is for the yellow metal to make a run for new highs.

Gold Climbs on the Back of U.S. Dollar Weakness / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009

By: GoldCore

Gold: Gold continues to hold steady above the $930 level and has climbed in morning trading to $939. Indeed this climb is the biggest since April and is on the back of the continuing weakness of the dollar and a rally in oil prices. A weak dollar and inflationary fears are causing investors to seek alternative hedging strategies and gold is confirming its safe haven status with its continuing strength.

Gold Mid-Year Seasonal Trend Review July 2009 / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009

By: Bill_Downey

During the course of the year, it is always good to sit back and review the current markets you’re involved in.  In this manner, one would look at the performance not only from a percentage gain or loss basis, but in the field of seasonality as well.  In other words, if we are interested in the gold market, we want to see if it is following the typical script in price movement in relation to past years.  Keeping an eye on seasonality will alert you to when the best chance for highs and lows to occur during the year.

Gold Holding Steady at the $930 level / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009

By: GoldCore

Higher than expected inflation figures out of the U.S yesterday buoyed the price of gold. Gold is holding steady at the $930 level, recovering from some of its recent losses. Gold’s fundamentals remain sound and the news that David Einhorn’s Greenlight Capital Inc. hedge fund has moved its gold position from an ETF into physical bullion in the second quarter, will further bolster the case for physical possession of the yellow metal to hedge against possible financial and economic difficulties.

Gold, the King of Metals Will Keep Its Crown / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009

By: The_Gold_Report

Agoracom market analyst Peter Grandich, who isn’t among those who expect the world at large to emerge from “this absolutely horrific downturn” by year-end, instead sees good opportunities on the horizon for investors who want to “buy things on the cheap” because prices will fall in the equity markets. He also sees bright prospects for gold—particularly gold ETFs and mining companies that are in or near production and have potential for developing additional deposits. At the same time, Peter tells The Gold Report that the “severely wounded” U.S. economy should anticipate rougher and tougher times. Given his penchant for accurate predictions, that’s not a very comforting forecast.

Gold, Silver, HUI, - Rally’s Are Starting! / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009

By: Peter_Degraaf

A few weeks ago I drew your attention to the ‘golden cross-overs’ that have been showing up in so many charts.  These cross-overs (where the 50DMA move into positive alignment with the 200DMA), are still intact, and continue to progress.

By way of review, here is the cross-over for the GLD gold ETF.

Renewed Pressure Forthcoming for Crude Oil / Commodities / Crude Oil

By: Mike_Paulenoff

My pattern work in nearby crude oil argues for more weakness after this little bounce off of the $58.00 area (into the $62.50-$63.00 area max).  If weakness resumes as anticipated, then oil should head for new reaction lows in the $55-$53 target zone to complete the first downleg in the aftermath of the recovery rally from the January low at $32.70 to the June high at $73.23.
