Gold Static Trading Ahead of Non Farm Payroll Data / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
Trading in gold has been fairly static this morning with the market looking for direction from the release of non-farm payroll data, due out today. A bullish note for the long term prospects of gold was chimed today on the news that the ECB has agreed to only sell 400 tonnes of gold per annum over the next 5 years, down 100 tonnes per annum from previous announcements. Importantly, the ECB said that, "gold remains an important element of global monetary reserves." With annual demand already outstripping production, this news will bolster the viability of gold as a diversifier and inflation hedge.Read full article... Read full article...

Gold Fails at Top of Trend Channel / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
This morning’s pop in the SPDR Gold Shares (NYSE: GLD) to a new recovery high (for July) at 95.38 was not sustained, and prices have since declined back into negative territory. More importantly, let’s notice that this morning’s high coincides with an attempt to push above the top of the July price channel, which apparently has failed on this attempt. The failure at the top of the channel argues for prices to come in beneath 94.00 towards 93.50 prior to another loop to the upside. It is with this in mind that I move to the sidelines for a while.

Gold Heading for $644 or $1200? / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
What if a decline to $644 takes place before the exalted highs are obtained? Is this possible? How could it happen? What would cause it to happen?

Exchanging U.S. Dollars for Gold / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
Richard Daughty writes: The month of August 1971 is significant in that this is the month when Richard Nixon told the world, "Kiss my Fat American Butt (FAB), world, because although we Americans promised to maintain the purchasing power of the dollar against which all other currencies can maintain their value, too, we lied when we said that we would exchange gold for dollars to insure that we did what we said we would!

Gold Manages Break and Hold Above $960 / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
Gold
Gold, currently trading at $961.00/oz, has managed to stay above the $960.00/oz support mark and is finding it tough to break through the next resistance of $970.00/oz. If broken, it should test the further resistance of $980.00/oz very quickly. The ECB and the BOE meet today but are expected to leave interest rates unchanged.

Gold Seasonal Trend Analysis, Is the 18 Month Consolidation Complete? / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
Another month has come to an end in the gold market and it is always good to review where we’ve been and where we might be going. For those of us who follow the market closely, you know how important it is to constantly review the important aspects of the market and to keep those aspects in the forefront.

Precious Metals, Gold and Silver are Ready to Shine / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
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:
