An American Energy Revolution / Commodities / Energy Resources

By: Frank_Holmes

In Texas these days, there’s a feeling of absolute and unwavering confidence in the concept of an American energy revolution. From the depths of reserves to the richness of the energy, an incredible transformation is taking place.

We’ve been talking about the significant impact of the U.S.’s oil production for a while now, but the buzz about shale oil and gas is only getting louder. At Morgan Stanley’s energy forum in Houston in August, Director of Research John Derrick and Portfolio Manager Evan Smith said shale was the prevailing topic.

Gold and Silver Off to the Races / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013

By: Peter_Schiff

Summer is traditionally a slow season for precious metals, but this summer started with a rout. In the last week of June, gold and silver hit 2-year lows of $1,192 and $18.61 respectively.

Fortunately, after staggering along the lows, the precious metals are off to the races once more - with gold rallying more than 18% and silver 31%. This remarkable performance continues even in the face of the Fed's sustained tapering threats.

Dave Forest: How to Play the Looming Platinum Supply Crisis / Commodities / Platinum

By: Metals_Report

South Africa, platinum mining giant, is about to fall off the investment map, says Dave Forest of Pierce Points. Until the country sorts out its labor politics, there is a real need to establish alternative sources of platinum group metals, vanadium and manganese. In other words, while it's a bad time to be a miner in South Africa, it's a good time to hold in-ground reserves. In this interview with The Metals Report, Forest names deposits in the Americas and elsewhere in Africa with the potential to meet global platinum needs. But he's choosing carefully, because even in times of scarcity, Forest argues, it just won't do to develop anything other than the best, most economic mining projects.

Gold Touches $1400 as "High Syria Risks" Meet "Price-Sensitive" Asian Demand / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013

By: Adrian_Ash

WHOLESALE London prices for physical gold jumped $15 from a drop to $1384 per ounce Tuesday morning, gaining after the Interfax news agency in Russia – political ally of Syria's President Assad – reported two "objects" being fired in the Mediterranean, towards the sea's eastern coast.

The gold price then fell back only to rise and touch $1400 for the first time this week – 2.5% below last Wednesday's 3-month high – as Israel confirmed the launch, saying it was done to test what Reuters calls a "US-funded" anti-missile system.

Drums Of War Spark Rally In Gold, Silver and Energy Prices / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013

By: Hubert_Moolman

A potential bull market in commodities, precious metals and miners could accelerate higher if Congress gives Obama the approval to attack Syria based on the use of chemical weapons of mass destruction against innocent civilians. Commodities, energy, gold and silver are safe havens that usually rise in value during international conflicts and war. Remember the major breakout in gold after September 11th in 2001 and the invasion of Iraq in 2003. The ramifications of increased involvement in the Middle East could have a major impact on global trade. The tensions with Russia is increasing as Putin supports Assad.

Crude Oil Price No Breakout But the Trend Remains in Place / Commodities / Crude Oil

By: Nadia_Simmons

From today’s point of view, it seems that the situation hasn’t changed much since our last Oil Update, because light crude is trading between $105 and $107 per barrel once again - just like it did a week ago. However, last week was very interesting and brought a significant improvement in the oil market – a positive change which, eventually, turned out to be only temporary.

The crude market is always sensitive to Middle East conflict. As you remember, prices rose to $115 on the unrest in Libya two years ago and to $110 on Iran’s nuclear program. In the previous week we saw similar price action.

Gold Slips in Thin Holiday Trade, But Hedge Funds "Wary of Being Short" / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013

By: Adrian_Ash

The PRICE of gold bullion bars slipped Monday morning, recovering early $25 drop in quiet dealing as Asian and European stock markets rose following strong manufacturing data.

With the US markets closed for the end-of-summer holiday, gold edged down to $1389 per ounce by lunchtime in London, just over 3% below last week's three-month high.

Massive Debt Levels Will Push Silver Price To Beyond $150 / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013

By: Hubert_Moolman

The massive debt bubble created by our monetary system is about to burst. The demonetization of gold and silver, has over the years diverted value from these metals, to all paper assets (such as bonds) linked to the debt-based monetary system.

Gold And Silver Market Says 1 -2 Years Sideways, Not Up / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013

By: Michael_Noonan

Re 1 - 2 years of potentially moving sideways, we would be happy to be wrong.

In a week of no news relevant to gold and silver, gold slipped under the 1400 level, for some "unknown" reason, while silver just slipped a little. Friday marked the close of the week and month, for charting purposes. A look at the Quarterly, in progress, seemed a good idea, as well.

Gold Price Trend - Time for a Brief Pause / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013

By: Toby_Connor

Now that gold has broken its daily cycle trend line I think we can assume that the daily cycle decline has probably begun. My best guess is that we will see gold drop into next week's employment report and test the support zone and intermediate trend line between $1340-$1350.

Bombed Out Gold Market is Bottoming / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013

By: Aden_Forecast

The war drums are beating. This has driven gold higher and the June lows look like a classic bottom.

Think about it. Gold had been dribbling down all year, but when the Fed began its tapering talk in mid-June, it pushed gold down to new lows.

The already bruised gold price broke down, plunging to the $1200 area in late June, only to zip back up above $1300 four weeks later.

China Loves West’s 99 Fine Gold / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013

By: Richard_Mills

According to Bloomberg, whose calculations were based on Hong Kong customs data, net gold imports into China more than doubled in the first half of 2013 to 493 metric tons, up from roughly 239 tons over the same period in 2012.

The China Gold Association said gold consumption in China jumped 54 percent to 706.36 metric tons in the first six months of 2013.

Bloomberg reported takeovers and asset purchases by China's gold mining companies reached a record $2.24 billion this year, up considerably from 2012's record of $1.96 billion worth of M&A activity.

Gold and the Return of Global Turmoil / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013

By: Clif_Droke

The last several weeks have seen a return of all the ingredients for a gold rally, from an "oversold" technical condition which sparked a short-covering rally to a spike in Treasury yields which caused investors to look for safe haven investments. Gold has benefited from the rising interest rates as well as the weakness in the U.S. dollar. Now a new set of factors is playing into gold's favor....

Emergency Crisis - First Finance, Then Debt, What Next? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013

By: Adrian_Ash

If Syria is to blame for this run, then the world's in very big trouble...

SO JUST like that, there were no sellers in the gold or silver markets. It's been buyers only amongst BullionVault users this week.

New account openings were strong this week too, the greatest number since the April price crash in fact. Cash deposits were also sharply higher, the heaviest since end-June – the week gold and silver hit their second big slump, and bargain hunters on BullionVault got just the crash they wanted.

Syria Attack, Pipeline Politics, OPEC & the U.S. Dollar / Commodities / Crude Oil

By: Jim_Willie_CB

Syria is about the last gasp for the Petro-Dollar, the emergence of energy pipeline geopolitics, the rise of the NatGas Coop, the new dominance of Russian Gazprom, the eclipse of OPEC, the fall of the house of Saud, and a grand adjustment process in global commerce and banking. Refer to trade settlement outside the USDollar and diversification away from USTreasury Bond reserves management. It took some time to realize it, but the Cyprus bank incident was a misdirected attack against Gazprom. It failed. The entire Arab Spring movement, an ambitious disruptive project waged with foolhardy ambitions, has turned on itself. Egypt fell, its US puppet discharged. The entire North African region will be in flames soon. The USGovt interfered with a grand industrialization project for European industry, to be placed on North Africa intended to take advantage of cheaper labor, available minerals, nearby resources, and easy shipping. The resentment of Europe will show up in the future. The Middle East and Persian Gulf region is shifting its salute to Russia & China, as the noisy sectarian battles have been a common fixture since long ago. Bahrain has erupted. Saudi is clamping down and converting into an Islamic police state to create the Iran-Saudi repressive bobsey twins. Chaos is the longstanding objective of the USGovt in foreign policy infection, no change in decades.

What Do Gold Mining Stocks Tell Us About Gold Price’s Future Moves? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013

By: P_Radomski_CFA

Yesterday, gold stopped a five-day rally that had pushed it to its highest since mid-May, and lost some of its safe-haven appeal as the chance of imminent U.S. military strikes against Syria seemed to diminish, and investors booked profits. We let our subscribers know our thoughts on that topic and we wrote that we didn't expect any military intervention in the next few days and it seemed to us that markets had overestimated the probability of such intervention taking place in the near term.

The Shadowy Web of Collateral and War / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013

By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis

It seems that few people have yet realized the possible scenario that a repo market failure will result in a liquidity freeze that can then spark off a full scale financial collapse.

The financial and economic system seems so vulnerable to just in time delivery on virtually everything that such a failure will cause social chaos in the short term and severe damage to confidence in the longer term.

Gold, Silver and Unsuccessful Parasites / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013

By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis

Successful parasites do not kill their hosts, yet the currently parasitic banking system seems to be unsustainable for this very reason.

Like an ineffective parasite, the huge international banks have sucked the juice from and distorted their hosts — the economy, the financial system, and even the culture — to the point of a sudden collapse potentially occurring.
