Constructive Bullish Pattern for GDX / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Mike_Paulenoff
The weaker dollar, stronger gold, and continued strength of the stock indices has propelled the Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (NYSE: GDX) to new, multi-month recovery highs. After selling off late yesterday in sympathy with the overall stock averages, today the GDX is up in sympathy with the climb in the equity futures as well as because of the “bid” in both spot gold and Euro/$. My overall pattern work remains very constructive and points to a sustained upside breakout above 39.35 – on the way to 41.50-42.00 next. Only a decline that takes out 36.54 will begin to compromise the current chart set-up.

By: Evan_Smith
We’ve seen huge volatility for oil prices the last nine months, but it now looks like oil is starting to bottom out after hitting lows in late 2008 and the first part of this year.

Gold Quietly Moving Towards $1,000 / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: LiveCharts
As the dollar has faltered recently, gold speculators have been among the winners of this financial trend. Along with several major currencies, including the Pound and Euro, gold rates have trended higher since mid-to-late April as the Fed maintains a zero per cent funds rate, and the economy remains sluggish.

Gold Re-Tests $930 as U.S. Dollar Falls / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Adrian_Ash
THE PRICE OF GOLD pushed 0.5% higher early Wednesday in London, nearing last Friday's seven-week highs as world stock markets trod water despite a flood of record-bad economic data.
Re-testing a break above $930 an ounce for the third time in four sessions, the Gold Price failed to hold £600 or €680 for UK and Euro investors, however, as the US Dollar fell hard on the currency markets.

In this exclusive interview with The Gold Report, Roger suggests some alternate market plays for the lean summer months and explains why he believes "the deck is stacked against the stock market" and $1,375 gold appears in the cards.

SLV Silver ETF Chart Points to Another Upmove / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Mike_Paulenoff
Today’s strength in the iShares Silver Trust ETF (NYSE: SLV) argues that all of the action from the May 12 rally peak at 14.06 to yesterday’s low at 13.42 represents a completed pullback within the upleg that started after the April 17 low at 11.64. My overall work in the SLV points to another upmove (that likely started today) that should hurdle key resistance at the prior high (14.06) on the way to an assault on the February high of 14.45.

Invest in Cold Fusion Energy and Palladium / Commodities / Palladium
By: Roland_Watson
Cold Fusion, that pariah of established science, made a comeback in March as the US Navy's Space and Naval Warfare Center went public with results which they believed confirmed that low energy nuclear reactions were present, repeatable and decisively demonstrable in their specialized palladium/heavy water experiments.

Deflation Runs into the Brick Wall of Chinese Agri-Foods Inflation / Commodities / Agricultural Commodities
By: Ned_W_Schmidt
The road to deflation was a short one. It ran smack into reality. That reality is that the rest of the world does exist, and that North America is not the center of tomorrow's universe. The bursting of the credit fed hedge fund mania did yes hurt all markets. But, some of those markets are again being influenced by their structural, and longer term, dynamics. That China has not collapsed into a recession anywhere near the magnitude experienced by Western economies must come as a shock to many economists and strategists. They were wrong. That they do not understand the secular dynamics at play in Asia is now fairly obvious. In tomorrow's economic world, North America is slowly becoming a side show.

Gold and Silver Potential Parabolic Price Rise 2009 to 2011 / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Ronald_Rosen
“Surprising as it may be to most non-scientists and even to some scientists, Albert Einstein concluded in his later years that the past, present, and future all exist simultaneously. In 1952, in his book Relativity, in discussing Minkowski's Space World interpretation of his theory of relativity, Einstein writes:

The Silent "Stealth" Rally in Gold / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Clif_Droke
It was a typical options expiration week with markets showing a lassitude that normally accompanies this event. Trading volume was relatively low and action was lacking for the most part across the board as traders seemed to be on a mental vacation this week. Read full article... Read full article...

Gold's Manipulated Slow Stead Climb Higher / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Merv_Burak
It’s been a steady climb all week, even on minus days the lows were always higher. However, the action still is not enthusiastic. Not that gold is about to plunge, it’s just that it doesn’t seem to be getting anywhere fast.

By: The_Gold_Report

"The thing with uranium is it's easy to dig up but hard to get out," says Simon Tonkin, who covers base metals, including uranium, at Thomas Weisel Partners. In this exclusive interview with The Gold Report, Simon discusses emerging challenges in the uranium sector and the deficits he foresees in the global race for supply.

Gold, When to Buy and Sell? Where Next? / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Julian_DW_Phillips
It is always so easy to ask someone, “Can I buy at the bottom and sell at the top?” But life doesn’t let too many of us do that and when it does it has a nasty habit of letting us do it once or maybe twice then lets us get it wrong after that. Many believe that once you have the technical picture giving the top and the bottom that will do the trick, but alas, many technical analysts will come up with different prices for tops and bottoms.

Crude Oil to Underperform Metals / Commodities / Crude Oil
By: Ashraf_Laidi
While both oil and equity indices reveal preliminary signs of a consolidation, downward momentum is particularly expected to weigh on oil. This is especially supported by my expectation for oil prices to underperform metals, which is signalled by a looming rebound in the Gold/Oil ratio. The chart below cogently illustrates how the turning points in the Gold/Oil ratio are driven by commodity markets' optimism with the economy.

Gold Trust ETF (GLD) Looking to Rally / Commodities / Gold & Silver Stocks
By: Oakshire_Financial
Gold – it is the yellow precious metal once used as a primary form of currency for thousands of years. It is durable, liquid and almost indestructible. Historically, investors have fled unstable markets in search of reliable sources of value and stability, which can generally be achieved by investing in this precious metal. For those who want cost efficient access to the gold market, investing in the SPDR Gold Trust Exchange Traded Fund (GLD) is one of the easiest means of doing so. It is the world’s largest gold-backed ETF that offers risk takers a chance to profit by establishing a position in an investment vehicle that has somewhat of an inverse relationship to the equity markets.

By: Adrian_Ash
Whether inflation or deflation strikes, a growing number of people are fast buying gold for defence...
IT'S COMMON KNOWLEDGE that gold bullion proved the most reliable wealth-store during the vicious inflation of the late 1970s. Yet almost un-noticed, gold has once again been the best-performing asset bar none this decade, too.
