By: Jordan_Roy_Byrne
There are numerous reasons both fundamental and technical as to why the precious metals complex will surge over the next 18 months. The sector’s surge will be reinforced by the lack of an obvious trend in most other markets. Gold, Silver and the mining stocks will surge while other markets languish.

Still, there's reason to believe that corn prices will rebound.

Gold, Silver and Stocks Pricing Trend Indicates Change in Investor Sentiment / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis
Anyone paying attention to the stock markets and the precious metals markets will tell you that the correlation that we've grown accustomed to has flip-flopped. Previously, precious metals and the stock markets traded in unison; a 2% up day for the stock markets meant 2% up in gold and silver. A drop in the stock markets meant a drop in the metals markets. However, this is no longer true, as precious metals have broken free!

Agri-Food Food Trends, Volcano Atmospheric Ash and China 21st Century Demand Miracle / Commodities / Agricultural Commodities
By: Ned_W_Schmidt
Our gloom was lifted this past weekend with news that the Icelandic volcano was still pumping away. Got to admire the way it keeps trying, just like the little engine. Ash is now in the skies from near Greenland to Spain, across North Africa, and as far east as Turkey.
Per Associated Press as reported by ksdk.com, 9 May,“The bulk of the cloud, measuring 2,100 miles long and 1,400 miles wide (3,400 kilometers by 2,200 kilometers), stretched over the North Atlantic, according to the Irish Aviation Authority.”

Gold And Silver’s Big Move And The Very Special Circumstances That Causes It / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Hubert_Moolman
From October 2008 to date the gold price has performed rather well. It is up 77.6% from the intraday low of $682 on 24 October 2008. It is of course not the only good up since then; in fact most goods are quite well up in nominal dollar terms.If a good is up in price 77% in a period of about 1.5 years it would probably be reasonable to expect at least a slowdown in the pace of price growth or even a gradual decrease. Unless, there are very special circumstances present, such as one could probably have in a case of hyperinflation or say an extreme sudden shortage of that good which cannot be immediately replenished etc. one would certainly not expect it to accelerate further at an even faster rate as before.

Gold And The Myth Of Free Markets / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Darryl_R_Schoon
Some conspire to take power; others conspire to keep it
What we don’t know explains what we don’t understand. This is why the work of the Gold Anti-Trust Action committee, GATA, is to be admired. Much of the exposure of the US government’s hidden hand in the manipulation of the gold markets is due to GATA’s work. What most still do not understand is the extent of that hidden hand and its effect on America, a nation many believe to be free.

By: The_Gold_Report
"The price for manganese ore has recovered a lot more swiftly and strongly than we anticipated," explains Helen O'Malley, a bulk manganese specialist with London-based CRU, adding: "The price bottomed out last year to about $3.50 per dry metric ton unit (DMTU) and now it's up to about $8.00." In this exclusive interview with The Gold Report, O'Malley sheds some light on the seldom-discussed metal and its supply and demand fundamentals. She also explains how the market is really being driven by China and even lists several junior mining companies who are actively exploring manganese properties.

Increasing Sovereign Bailouts and Worsening Economy Boost Gold and Silver / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Captain_Hook
More than the perception increasing sovereign bailouts in a worsening economy around the world will bolster precious metals moving forward, countries that are still paying their bills will need to have greater percentages of gold in reserve in order to maintain any semblance of currency stability in what might escalate into quasi-hyperinflation despite what faulty money supply measures will have the consensus believe. This is why gold is rising in the collective faces of the deflationists, and why it will continue to confound such views. It’s because the gold is gone and in short supply in a world that will need it to facilitate currency stability and trade increasingly; this, as confidence in governments and bureaucracies around the world are called into question.
