Gold Price Trend Like Watching Paint Dry... / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: Alasdair_Macleod
That was how it felt watching all markets this week until yesterday when they sprang into life. Gold fell from $1304 at the London opening last Monday to a low point of $1281 yesterday, down 1.8% on the week, while silver fell from $20.60 to $20.35, down only 1.2%. These moves were relatively small compared with action elsewhere. Here are the charts showing price and open interest for gold and silver on Comex.

The Gold Owners’ Guide to the Rest of 2014 / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: Michael_J_Kosares
Over the next few weeks, I will make a series of posts on the current state of affairs as they relate to the gold market. So stay tuned to this page. . . . .
Let me start the proceedings with this — a repast on the nature of the human predicament 2014. Below is a follow-up to Richard Russell’s stated concerns (scroll below) on the persistence of war and inflation in human affairs. I do not bring this line of thinking to your attention to disturb your comfort level, but to make you aware that there is more going on than the panoply of misdirection afforded us by the mainstream media. (Today’s somewhat mysterious 300 point + drop in the DJIA might be trying to tell us something. Stocks are now level for the year. Gold is up over 6.5%.)

The Important Impact of This “Secret” Gold Agreement / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: Money_Morning
Peter Krauth writes: The fourth iteration of the Central Bank Gold Agreement (CBGA) has just been signed.
Essentially, it’s a statement by Western Europe’s most powerful central banks about how much gold they’re willing to sell over the next five years.
Though done with no fanfare and barely any media coverage, its importance can’t be overstated.

How Safe Are Unallocated Gold Bullion Accounts? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: Submissions
Imagine you owned a small business. It’s a retail store and you sell a physical product which lines the shelves. You need to keep a variety of different products to ensure that customers who enter your store have plenty of choice. Not only do you have to stock a range of goods, but you have to keep a lot of each on hand as customers often purchase in bulk, due to fluctuating prices (they may buy large quantities when they believe it is well priced). As the store owner you have to hedge your exposure to the fluctuating price of the product you keep on hand to reduce the chance of getting caught on the wrong side of a price swing, this adds further complexity to managing your inventory.

Death of the U.S. Dollar? Gold an Inflation Hedge? Really? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: Submissions
Gary Tanashian writes: Take a look around the gold bull landscape and tell me how many of them are featuring a chart like this, showing the US dollar in a bullish short-term stance (to go with the weekly bullish stance we have noted for so long in the ‘Currencies’ segment).

We’re Ready to Profit in the Coming Gold Price Correction—Are You? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: Casey_Research
By Laurynas Vegys
Sometimes I see an important economic or geopolitical event in screaming headlines and think: “That’s bullish for gold.” Or: “That’s bad news for copper.” But then metals prices move in the opposite direction from the one I was expecting. Doug Casey always tells us not to worry about the short-term fluctuations, but it’s still frustrating, and I find myself wondering why the price moved the way it did.

President Nixon closed the “gold window” in August 1971. That decision enabled the exponential growth of debt, paper currencies, and prices. A few examples:

Gold Still Looking Good / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: Aden_Forecast
No sooner had gold taken a back seat to the soaring stock market, when it did an about face!
Tensions in the Middle East and Ukraine pushed gold up. The Fed then fueled the rise by again affirming a low interest rate policy. But a firmer dollar and better economic news then put downward pressure on the metals again.

By: Austin_Galt
With silver recently putting in a nice 10% plus rally, I thought it was time to follow up my last article on silver, Silver Set To Stun. It's been two months since that article so there is some new information to process. Let's get straight into it with the monthly chart.

Gold Price and U.S. Dollar’s July Rally / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: P_Radomski_CFA
Briefly: In our opinion (half) speculative short positions in gold, silver and mining stocks are now justified from the risk/reward perspective.
Gold and the rest of the precious metals market moved higher on Friday and the volume was not low. It was lower (for the GLD ETF) than what we had seen during Thursday’s decline, so there are some bearish implications. But are they really that important? Let’s take a closer look (charts courtesy of http://stockcharts.com).

Elliott Wave Gold Price Projection Since 1970 / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: Trader_MC
The market movement unfolds in waves which reflects human nature that does not change. The Elliott Wave Principle is made of motive and corrective waves. Waves 1, 3 and 5 are impulse waves as they move with the trend, Waves 2 and 4 are corrective waves as they partially retrace the previous impulse move. A complete sequence is made of 8 waves: a 5-wave motive phase (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) and a basic 3-wave corrective phase (A, B, C).

Silver Price Rigging, Huge Week for News Coming / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: Jesse
Gold and silver bounced back quite a bit from the bear raid earlier this week.
Things are so boring on the Comex I think they didn't bother to update the clearing reports or the warehouse data.
Deutsche Bank, Bank of Nova Scotia, and HSBC have been accused of manipulating the silver fix. Whitewash and/or wristslaps to follow. There is little justice, and no real reform. Like flies to wanton boys are we to the Banks.

Use "Magic" Of Gold/Silver Ratio To Greatly Increase Your Physical Holdings / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: Michael_Noonan
The magic of compound interest is well known. What is lesser known is the magic of the gold/silver ratio, not as a measure as it is mostly viewed, but as an application for increasing one's holdings substantially, over time. What is so great here is that no magic is involved, rather simply utilizing the market to more than double your holdings.
So-called "Gold Bugs" are considered ardent supporters of the PM [Precious Metal]. Silver stackers are just as avid. Then there are those willing to buy either or both. The chart below is the gold/silver ratio going back 15 years, and this is a hindsight analysis brought forth to the present tense for future consideration that can greatly increase net holdings at almost no cost, those being transaction costs from a dealer.

Gold Price Strong Season Starts / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: Zeal_LLC
Gold’s strong season is just getting underway, with this metal’s summer-doldrums seasonal low in place. The past couple months’ stiff headwinds are starting to shift to fierce tailwinds, thanks to Asian demand ramping up heading into autumn. Gold’s pronounced seasonality is very important for all investors and speculators to understand, as today’s inflection point is a very bullish omen for this still-unloved asset.

Gold & Silver Trading Alert: Euro’s Breakdown and Its Implications / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: P_Radomski_CFA
Briefly: In our opinion (full) speculative short positions in gold, silver and mining stocks are now justified from the risk/reward perspective.
The Euro Index broke decisively below the rising long-term support line (based on the 2012 and mid-2013 bottoms) and this is a major event not only for the currency itself, but also for the precious metals sector. Let's see why (charts courtesy of http://stockcharts.com).

The TRUTH about China’s Massive Gold Hoard / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: Jeff_Clark
I don’t want to say that mainstream analysts are stupid when it comes to China’s gold habits, but I did look up how to say that word in Chinese…
One report claims, for example, that gold demand in China is down because the yuan has fallen and made the metal more expensive in the country. Sounds reasonable, and it has a grain of truth to it. But as you’ll see below, it completely misses the bigger picture, because it overlooks a major development with how the country now imports precious metals.

Gold Price Looking Drab / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: Austin_Galt
Gold needs a shine to get it’s sparkle back. In the good ole days, news the likes of the Malaysia Airlines crash would have sent gold soaring. But that’s the difference between a bull trend and a bear trend. Good news in a bear trend can see a small burst of optimism before turning back down and making the whole experience rather underwhelming. There has been so much turmoil in the world the last few years but you wouldn’t know it by looking at the gold chart. Let’s do just that beginning with the daily chart.
