The I.M.F. and Central Banks are Going to Support Gold! / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Julian_DW_Phillips
As an almost revered subject, the question of whether central banks across the world will be buyers or sellers of gold is one usually left until after the event. Central Banks themselves are usually very unhappy to talk about their gold policy. When they do it is a once-in-several-years-event. As a result we watch the behavior patterns of the last decade to see what lies ahead.

Copper Panic and Recovery / Commodities / Metals & Mining
By: Zeal_LLC
Although copper is not the largest base-metal market (aluminum is way bigger), nor the most valuable of the primary base metals (nickel is worth several times more per pound), it is still arguably the most important base metal. As the base metal of choice for investors and speculators, copper’s price offers great insights into how traders view the global economic outlook.

China Voices U.S. Dollar Concerns at G20 Summit in Pittsburgh / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: GoldCore
Gold fell yesterday on technical driven profit taking and is currently trading at $996.75/oz. It traded in a range overnight of $991-$999/oz. Support is now at $990/oz and resistance is at the recent high at $1,024/oz. All eyes are on the G20 summit in Pittsburgh and trading is likely to be cautious prior to the meeting. The dollar fell this morning after a draft communiqué from the G20 suggesting that interest rates, including those in the United States, would remain low for the foreseeable future.

Gold, The Most Important Chart You Will See! / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Peter_Degraaf
A chart is like a photograph. It locks in ‘the activity’ right up to the last moment. A chart is a reflection of the actions of multiple humans interacting in the marketplace. Since humans tend to act in ‘herd-like’ manner, reacting to the news they hear, read and see, a chart has a certain amount of predictive energy while it reflects the past.

How China became the '800-Pound' Gorilla in the Gold Market / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Money_Morning
Don Miller writes: With prices testing their record high of $1,033 an ounce set last year gold has again become the hot topic of conversation.
But while many analysts are focusing on threat of inflation - which could be a byproduct of the U.S. Federal Reserve's reluctance to withdraw monetary stimulus - investors should really be watching China.

By: The_Gold_Report
Post summer doldrums, we're now beginning to see a nice fall run up in the price of gold—one that marks the beginning of a parabolic move, according to Greg McCoach. The seasoned bullion dealer, investor and newsletter writer sees a number of factors culminating in ever-increasing prices going forward. In this exclusive interview with The Gold Report, Greg reveals current and forthcoming events that will continue driving the yellow metal's price northward. . .not the least of which involves the commercial real estate market and its "associated derivative sewage."

Gold, GLD ETF 100 Barrier / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Mike_Paulenoff
The most salient feature of the hourly chart of the SPDR Gold Shares (NYSE: GLD) is that despite today’s up-gap opening and climb above 100, the bulls were – and still are – not able to sustain above the key 100 level. As of this moment, with the GLD at 99.43 and the huge unfilled gap area (down to 98.57) remaining on the downside, let’s watch closely to see if the price structure can leave the unfilled gap behind and instead revisit and hold the 100 area prior to or into the close. Such a scenario would be very constructive action and will point prices still higher in the hours ahead. Conversely, inability of the GLD to rally will be a sign of relative weakness that will point to the 98.50 area by default.

The Reason Why Gold Hasn't Skyrocketed / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: INO
With the printing presses in full printing mode, many people are questioning why gold prices haven't gone higher - much higher.
In my new video, I explain some of the subtle market cycles that are at play right now in this market. These short-term cycles have been the dominant force in gold all year and appear to be still in control of price action.

Gold to Remain Strong on Global Inflation and Stagflation Risk / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: GoldCore
Gold pulled back slightly yesterday on profit taking and a firmer dollar. However, gold stubbornly refused to budge from the $1,000/oz price level and pushed back through that level last night as the dollar fell again. Gold's fundamentals remain very sound and yet most analysts remain bearish and much of the media has greeted gold's near record highs with tremendous scepticism. These are classic signs of a long term secular bull market as gold continues to climb the "wall of worry".Read full article... Read full article...

Speaking Silver’s Language / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: LewRockwell
Richard Daughty writes: Everybody knows that I can always be counted on to go ballistic about silver being such a Screaming Freaking Bargain (SFB) because of (according to the most recent Official Mogambo Count (OMC)) more than a dozen very good reasons, which is a lot of reasons, and that at $17-and-change per ounce, silver is loudly saying, “Buy me! Buy me!” although obviously not in the literal sense, nor (perhaps less obviously) in the “voices in my head” sense, which shows I am responding to therapy and why everybody is so pleased with me.

China Wealth Expansion Driving Agri-Food's Mega-trend / Commodities / Agricultural Commodities
By: Ned_W_Schmidt
Bump and grind economic numbers might suggest that the Western economies, including the U.S., have seen the worst of the economic slide. Despite that appearance of an economic bottom, that the economic policies of the Obama Regime are a failure, and will continue to be a failure, is now increasingly obvious. When nations like China and India are demonstrating superior economic performance perhaps the time has come to either, one, jettison the bumbling economic policies of the Obama Regime, or, two, look elsewhere for opportunities.
