Gold-to-Palladium Ratio / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016
By: Arkadiusz_Sieron
Just behind the podium of precious metals (occupied by gold, silver and platinum) is palladium – an important, but often overlooked investment commodity. Like in case of silver and platinum, the gold-to-palladium ratio indicates the current state of the precious metals market. Investors may benefit from watching a ratio, as it helps to determine the strength of gold compared to palladium. Technically, the number is the price of gold divided by the price of palladium. It shows how many ounces of palladium one ounce of gold can buy.

Gold's Final Warning of Impending Monetary Collapse / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016
By: Hubert_Moolman
Gold is currently trading in excess of $1300 an ounce. This is well above the 1980 all-time high. However, this is an incomplete representation of what gold is trading at relative to US dollars. When you look at the gold price relative to US currency in existence (US Monetary Base), then it is close to the lowest value it has ever been.
This in itself is a major warning regarding the sustainability of the current monetary system. In other words, the monetary system is the most debased it has ever been. Furthermore, not only is the monetary system at an all-time high stress-point, but also, this comes at the worst possible time relative to other key conditions.

China Can and Will Confiscate Gold When it Suits Them! / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016
By: Julian_DW_Phillips
China can and will confiscate gold from the SGE, banks and Chinese citizens, when it suits them
By far the greater bulk of gold owned in China is under the control of the Shanghai Gold Exchange and they are controlled by the Chinese Central Bank, the People's Bank of China. Should they wish to confiscate their citizen's and institution's gold, it can be done overnight. This includes gold held in Hong Kong. We see Singapore bowing to the will of China in such an event too.

Carney Sparks More RISK ON Market Trades / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016
By: Dan_Norcini
Consider this a follow up to my earlier post about the Bank of England’s Mark Carney’s rescue of the financial stocks and the overall stock indices.
We have reached a point where these Central Bankers can move markets at will, merely by uttering the magic words. ” PRESTO – CHANGO; ABRACADABRA! The Central Banks have plenty of tools at their disposal to combat those things which might hamper growth prospects or stock value prospects”.
TRANSLATION – More liquidity – even lower rates – more bond buying, etc.

Gold, Silver, Bonds and Stocks Path Towards Inflation / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016
By: Gary_Tanashian
Yes, it’s another inflation post going up even as inflation expectations are in the dumper and casino patrons just cannot get enough of Treasury and Government bonds yielding 0%, near 0% and below 0%.
Feel free to tune out the lunatic inflation theories you’ve found at nftrh.com over the last few weeks. But if by chance you do want to look, here’s a visual path we have taken to arrive at the barn door, behind which are all those inflated chickens, roosting and waiting. All sorts of animals will get out of the barn if macro signals activate.

Gold and Silver Precious Metals Bull Market Update / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016
By: Rambus_Chartology
Tonight I would like to update some of the precious metals stock indexes as they have been basically consolidating for the last couple of months. This has been healthy for this sector which has been on fire since the middle of January of this year.
The first chart for tonight is one of the laggards but you couldn't tell it by looking at the daily chart. The $CDNX, which is a Canadian small cap index, is made up of many precious metal and oil stocks. We've been following this one since it broke above the S&R line back in February. In March it built out its first consolidation pattern for its new bull market which was the blue expanding rising wedge. The blue arrows measures the first impulse move up. After the initial price objective was hit in early May the $CDNX built out another bullish consolidation pattern which was the bullish rising wedge. The price objective for the blue bullish rising wedge is shown by the red arrows. On Monday of this week there was a fairly strong backtest to the top rail but today's price action has now cleared the top rail again after forming the red bull flag as the backtest. It's always a good sign when you see a consolidation pattern sloping in the direction of the main trend.

Silver Is Not Buying the Risk Asset Bounce / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016
By: AnyOption
Precious metals remain elevated despite the recent rebound in risk assets as silver prices approach new post-Brexit vote highs amid concerning developments relating to the global outlook. As central banks in advanced economies rapidly test the limits of monetary policy, rising speculation of renewed accommodation in the United States is driving silver prices sharply higher. While risk assets have managed to bounce after the referendum sent shockwaves across global financial markets, silver prices have continued to gain momentum, not buying the optimism in stocks and reflecting a sense that haven assets will continue to benefit from growing volatility. Furthermore, more talk about a return to the gold standard could see precious metals reap the rewards of greater influence in the financial system.

By: MoneyMetals
“Look at that screen,” exclaimed Fox Business Network's Stuart Varney, referring to the television graphic showing markets crashing across the globe. “The only thing going up is the price of gold!”

Greenspan Warns "Early Days Of A Crisis," Inflation Coming, Urges Return To Gold Standard / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016
By: GoldCore
Alan Greenspan, the former Chairman of the Federal Reserve has warned that Brexit was a “terrible outcome in all respects” and that we are in the “early days of a crisis.” U.K. policy makers miscalculated and made a “terrible mistake” in holding a referendum on whether to quit the European Union, Greenspan said.

Gold Surges 20% In GBP In 2 Days On Brexit Fallout / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016
By: GoldCore
Gold has surged over 20% in sterling terms in the last two trading days due to the fallout of the UK’s monumental decision to leave the European Union. Gold has extended the biggest price gains since 2008 as market turmoil and sharp falls in stocks globally and especially bank stocks led to safe haven demand for bullion coins and bars, especially in the UK and Ireland.

Gold-to-Platinum Ratio / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016
By: Arkadiusz_Sieron
The gold-to-silver ratio is the most popular ratio among the precious metals. However, we can also link gold prices to platinum prices. Mathematically, the gold-to-platinum ratio is the price of gold divided by the price of platinum. It describes how many ounces of platinum are needed to purchase one ounce of gold, indicating the relative strength of gold prices compared to platinum prices. The indicator works just as the gold-to-silver ratio, so we will not explain its mechanics, but move straight to analysis of the long-term trends in the ratio. Let’s examine thoroughly the chart below, which presents the number of platinum ounces it took to buy a single ounce of gold since 1975 (we use futures prices, as data series of London fix for platinum is available only from 1990).

Major Debt and Dow Collapse Will Set Ideal Conditions For Silver / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016
By: Hubert_Moolman
The current silver bull market is similar to the bull market of the 70s in many ways. Despite the similarities, silver will ultimately perform much better than during the 70s.One of the big reasons for this is the fact that debt levels are so much higher today, than during the 70s. Not only are debt levels higher on an absolute basis, but also on a relative basis. For example, Total Us Debt as a Percentage of GDP is about 360% today, whereas, in the 70s it was around 150%.

Gold And Silver: Security, And BREXIT / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016
By: Michael_Noonan
We wrote the following article last Tuesday as a consequence of expanding on the key word "security" and what is its impact for most of us. Then BREXIT happened on Friday. Actually, BREXIT is all about security, concern about personal security for those who voted to get out of the elite spider trap called the EU. A few thoughts on that will be added following what was already prepared.
What is one of the most important feelings one can have for him of her self, for one's family? In a word, security. Security that one is safe in their daily existence, from the time they leave home in the morning until the time they return at the end of the day, and all the time in between. Security that their loved ones are always safe. Security that their efforts for making a life for themselves, for the betterment of their family will not be taken away. Security that what one accumulates in the process of life will always be there.

Gold, Silver And PM Stocks Summer Doldrums Risk / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016
By: Zeal_LLC
Gold’s recent weakness has dampened bullish sentiment, but the entire precious-metals complex has actually enjoyed record early-summer strength. The summer doldrums have always been a vexing time for gold, silver, and the stocks of their miners. Without any recurring seasonal demand surges in June and July, sideways-to-lower drifts are common in this seasonally-weakest time before big autumn rallies.
Traders’ sentiment, their collective greed and fear, drives nearly all short-term price action. Most of the time, sentiment is heavily influenced by expectations. If gold rallies 5% in a month where traders expected 10% gains, disappointment and bearishness will flare. But if gold rallies that same 5% when the outlook was for no gains, traders will grow excited and bullish. Performance versus expectations colors reality.
