Bear Raids Fail to Dent Gold Flight to Safety on Breaking Market Confidence / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Jesse
More bear raids today but they failed to detract from the flight to safety into gold as the precious metal significantly diverged from stocks, at least for today. Silver, being more correlated with industrial activity, felt the slump in stocks a bit harder.
Although the stock market decline is steep, and tied to bad economic results which were ignored during the month end paint job, it does have the smell of a wash and rinse within the trend channel, on manageably light volumes. This magic lantern show and churning is how the big trading desks make their money and their nearly perfect trading records. An intraday chart of the SP futures are below.

When To Sell Your Gold / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Jan_Kaska
Late last year, we were trying to short gold on the movement in world real rates. We had a beautiful chart, great correlation and a trade that should have performed magnificently (Chart 1). Yet, it did not. True, gold fell from 1400 to 1300, but nowhere near 1150 as we expected. As you can see on Chart 2, the correlations did not really break up, but the gold got boosted by some special alpha.

Visions Of A Mad Gold Stock Speculator / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Adam_Brochert
A series of long-term charts suggests to me that we are getting ready for a Gold stock explosion higher that should begin before the summer is over. I am biased due to being rabidly bullish on Gold stocks right now, both intellectually and financially. Please take the following technical analysis smorgasbord with a grain of salt given my greedy dreams of speculative riches, which clearly bias my perspective.

Euro, Dollar Indices and Gold Market A Short-Term Must Watch! / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Przemyslaw_Radomski
We have often discussed how the movement of index level values for both the euro and the dollar mirror each other in a fairly precise manner most of the time. This is mainly due to the euro being the largest component of the USD Index. The currency markets have a great deal of influence on stocks and precious metals alike, so what happens in these markets must be a regular part of any meaningful analysis of trends across the precious metals sector.

Weak SPX Stock Market Technicals / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Zeal_LLC
While the stock markets have enjoyed an outstanding busy season, the dreaded summer doldrums are now upon us. This vacation season usually heralds listlessly-grinding markets, sometimes significant selloffs, and rarely meaningful rallies.

IMF Firefight For Missing Gold / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Andrew_McKillop
The arrest of former IMF head Strauss-Kahn came at a key moment in this secretive entity's emergency bailout operations for Greece, Ireland and Portugal, and IMF advanced action in several other Eurozone-17 countries facing similar sovereign-debt crises. Greece, tottering near outright restructuring of its massive and fast-growing debt, as interest rates on its bonds continue to rise, is in renewed crisis and most economists expect what is politely called a reprofiled debt rescue package for the country. The IMF committed between a third and a quarter of the € 110 billion ($ 155 billion) in already-agreed aid to Greece, and has engaged to put up at least a third of the partly-set € 78 billion rescue package needed for Portugal.

Gold Strengthens in Real Terms / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Jordan_Roy_Byrne
My favorite form of technical analysis is intermarket analysis which is the comparison of various markets and sectors. All markets relate in one way or another. The current market cycle is being dominated by macro-related events. Since all markets have had a stronger link than in the past, it makes intermarket analysis very important. By analyzing markets in the context of one another we can decipher or confirm the cycles within the current secular trends.
