By: GoldCore
Gold fell 1% on Friday to finish the week with a 4% loss. It rose from $1,179/oz to $1,191/oz in Asian and early European trading this morning before giving up some of those gains.

Shock Events, Public Anger Is Growing Fast and the Gold Breakout / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: LewRockwell
Richard Daughty writes: I waited until I had sobered up to re-read Agora Financial’s 5-Minute Forecast, where it reported that “Bill Clinton shocked us the other day when he came out and suggested the financial crisis would never have happened if the dollar was still tethered to gold.”

Silver Modest Correction From Strong Resistance / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Clive_Maund
Although gold and silver dropped quite sharply last week, longer-term charts reveal that nothing broke technically and the reactions were in fact within normal parameters, and the reaction in silver was actually quite modest, given what could have happened in the circumstances.

Gold Long-term Bull Market Intact, Multiple Factors Support a Rally Now / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Clive_Maund
Although gold and silver dropped quite sharply last week, longer-term charts reveal that nothing broke technically and the reactions were in fact within normal parameters.
On its 2-year chart we can see that the fine longer-term uptrend in gold from late 2008 remains in force, and that despite last week’s drop, it is still some distance from breaking down. In recent weeks it had shown signs that it would not drop with the broad stockmarket, so while the fact that it did may be rather disappointing, the flip side is that with the broad market horribly oversold and due a rally gold looks set to bounce back strongly from here.

Gold, The Single Most Important Financial Step You Can Take Right Now / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: DailyWealth
You might recall as early as late 2008, I warned the U.S. had embarked on a massive inflation – the creation of money – designed to save our banking system.
I believed this marked the beginning of the end for the U.S. dollar paper standard. And the imbalances in our economy had become so large they had warped the real economy: Americans no longer made anything or saved anything (no deposits and no true assets to back up the money).

Gold Savers Will Get the Last Laugh / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Adam_Brochert
For that's what this cycle is all about. Cleansing the system of debt is a process fought tooth and nail by the the banks, which have encouraged profligacy among the masses and their governments to an extent not seen in the last few generations. Due to social mood (or whatever you think drives a phenomenon that recurs as regularly as the tides), the people and their governments were more than happy to oblige the bankers and take on enormous debt.

Gold Reaction Period But Not a New Long Term Bear / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Merv_Burak
A slight up day on Monday and then downhill for the rest of the week. Gold is having one of those reaction periods. For now it looks only like a reaction and not a new long term bear.
GOLD : LONG TERM
From a long term standpoint gold has a long way to drop before the P&F chart issues a bearish reversal. At the present time that would be the $1065 level but no doubt in the process additional activity will take place on the chart to possibly change that.

End of the Euro and the Gold Rally? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Przemyslaw_Radomski
Countries bailed out the banks. Now who is left to bail out the countries? While the decline in the euro appears to be very close to being over (as explained in the following part of the update), the fundamental situation of the Eurozone still appears to be one of the most popular topics these days, so the first part of this week's update will be dedicated to this particular part of the world.

Smart Money Holds Gold and Buys Major Miners / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: The_Gold_Report
As he watches the price of gold march inexorably toward $2,000 (and beyond), and keeps an eye on developments in the Western world, S&A Resource Report Editor Matt Badiali tells Gold Report readers in this exclusive interview that it's time to make space in the safe for gold. That's gold to hold, preferably to pass on to one's heirs, but if need be to pay for one's meat and potatoes. As for investments in these troubled times, he's hot about investors adding shares of the booming senior gold mining stocks to their portfolios because "we're going to see them really soar."

Will European Central Banks begin Selling Gold Again? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Julian_DW_Phillips
Since the inception of the fourth Central Bank Gold Agreement last year on September 27th, sales by European central banks have been nearly non-existent. But that was before the € began to implode and fractures appeared in the Eurozone itself. Now governments have to fiercely cut back expenditures. They must do this to the extent that the reaction is certain to be social unrest.

Gold Inflation Proof Deflation Hedge / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Adrian_Ash
Knowing how governments will respond to deflation, the case for inflation-proof gold looks increasingly clear to cautious wealth...
USELESS for pretty much everything except storing wealth (its economic value is social, not industrial), gold acts as inflation-proof money when investors need it most – right in the middle of an asset-price deflation.

Why Gold Is a Sure Long-Term Bet / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: DailyWealth
What a spectacle...
In an utter and complete repudiation of its founding principles, the European Union's central bank (ECB) has decided to copy the U.S. Federal Reserve's 2008-2009 strategy of "papering over" Europe's massive debt problems. The ECB will provide nearly unlimited credit to Europe's sovereign borrowers, while also buying troubled assets from Europe's largest banks.

Gold Resilient on Financial Uncertainty and Double Dip Recession Concerns / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: GoldCore
Gold is marginally lower (-0.2% in USD terms) and is currently trading at $1,180/oz and in Euro and GBP terms, gold is trading at €944/oz and £823/oz respectively. Gold has risen in sterling terms after the much higher than expected UK budget deficit (see below). Gold is only down some 4% on the week (USD - $1,230/oz to $1,180/oz) which is impressive given the sharp sell off seen in most commodity and equity markets.

The Logic of selling Gold in May and ‘going away.’ / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Peter_Degraaf
Should you invest – or should you trade?
Featured is the gold price in 2001. Selling in May and buying back right after Labor Day would have yielded a small profit, provided that the sale was made right at the top in May (not easy).

Gold, Focus On What Matters / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Toby_Connor
I know this is hard to do, especially when one is weathering draw downs. And of course a liberal dose of gloating from the bears during these times doesn't help either. But let's not get sidetracked by the little things and let's face it, the haters are going to show up every time gold corrects. We really should be used to that by now. They've been doing it for 10 years.

Gold Plunge to $1,175 a Buying Opportunity? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Nadeem_Walayat
This is a brief analysis of the ongoing gold price correction as gold hits $1,175, targeting strong support area at $1,150.
The big picture remains as detailed at length in the 100 page inflation mega-trend ebook (FREE DOWNLOAD) that ALL Central banks have NO option but to print money - ALL. Despite rhetoric from the likes of the Bank of England, U.S. Fed and up until very recently the ECB that they had either halted or would not print money. However there IS NO alternative, especially in the face of the global debt crisis.
