Gold Sentiment and its Relative Trend Picture / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Jordan_Roy_Byrne
While I continue to believe that the next breakout in Gold is still months away, we have seen in just a short while, some very encouraging signs on the sentiment front. Accumulating is certainly a wiser prospect now that the luster of the metals has faded yet only superficially.

Gold Attempting to Consolidate at Lower Levels / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Mark_OByrne
Gold and silver rose marginally in US trading yesterday and have largely traded sideways in Asian and European trading. Gold appears to be consolidating in the $865/oz to $900/oz region and needs a higher weekly close (above $883/oz) and then a close above $900/oz to look good from a technical perspective. This looks quite possible but there are very determined sellers at the $900/oz level who have so far impeded gold’s advance.Read full article... Read full article...

Crude Oil in Bullish Consolidation / Commodities / Crude Oil
By: Mike_Paulenoff
All of the action in the U.S. Oil Fund ETF (NYSE: USO) since the March 26 high has taken the form of a coil that is attached to the Feb-Mar upleg from the 22.74 low. Because the coil has formed within the upper 40% of the major recovery upleg, I consider it a bullish consolidation pattern, which if accurate will mean that it should resolve itself to the upside in a powerful thrust to new recovery highs – above 32.39 (into the 34.00 target zone). At this juncture, only a decline that breaks the integrity of the coil at 28.50 -- and more importantly at 28.32 – will wreck the pattern.Read full article... Read full article...

Where Have All the Gold Mines Gone? / Commodities / Gold & Silver Stocks
By: The_Gold_Report
Near-Term Production - This year’s corporate mantra for a crowd of junior explorers and miners is quite simple: “get us some near term gold production fast” (or some variation thereof). The motive of course is pure: get the share price up. For companies with $2 million to $200 million in the bank the magic bullet to riches is perceived to be the acquisition of that one gold property or company that everyone else has missed. It’s a simple and easy to understand business plan that doesn’t take a genius to grasp – find it and buy it cheap while no one else is looking. I am personally aware of more than a dozen management teams pursuing this model and there are probably another 50 companies that fall into this category. I have also spent countless hours in the same search and come to the conclusion that everyone else hasn’t missed much. This particular path to corporate riches may turn out to be an elusive dream.

Natural Gas UNG ETF Shorts Running on Borrowed Time / Commodities / Natural Gas
By: Mike_Paulenoff
The saga continues in the U.S. Natural Gas Fund ETF (NYSE: UNG) as the price structure perpetuates a profile of making marginal new all-time lows but fails to follow-through on the downside and then stages a recovery bounce. The problem is that the recent rally attempts have failed to hurdle any meaningful resistance levels (such as 15.50), which leaves the UNG still stuck within its dominant downtrend despite its loss of downside momentum since late March.

Commodities Markets Have Bottomed / Commodities / CRB Index
By: Prieur_du_Plessis
Commodity prices have started to recover since the massive commodity fund liquidations and inventory reductions at mine, refinery and final consumption levels, which in some instances gave rise to record stock levels of industrial metals on the London Metals Exchange.
The recovery in metal and oil prices should be seen in context, though. The sharp drop in prices rendered a significant quantity of global production uneconomical, resulting in substantial cutbacks in production already seen and planned for the next two to three months.

By: Richard_Shaw
There are conflicting voices about oil. Some say too much is available and demand is falling. Others say demand is rising and reduced exploration will contribute to a new boom. Some say oil is responding to the equities rally. Charts show oil with upward tendencies weeks before equities began to rise.
Here are some important media snippets with mixed bullish and bearish messages:
