Key Support Could Trigger Bounce in Coffee / Commodities / Coffee
By: Seven_Days_Ahead
The recent drop back in Coffee has been deeper than expected, and price has quickly arrived at a key support area that we identified. This is a likely place from which a positive reaction can occur, and in the process avoid/postpone further bearish implications.

What's Next for Gold and Gold Stocks / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Adam_Brochert
I am a big, big fan of Exter's liquidity pyramid. John Exter was a central bankster who worked at the federal reserve in the 1940s and 1950s. His concern about a global fiat money system, once it emerged, was that it would eventually blow out in a deflationary implosion rather than an inflationary one. This is not a common thesis, yet it is one I believe is being proven correct in front of our eyes.

By: The_Gold_Report
The recent 2009 World Resource Investment Conference was moved to the new Vancouver Convention Centre in Vancouver BC, constructed in advance of the 2010 Winter Olympics. The fresh venue for the conference did not seem to carry the enthusiasm equal to the new venue or previous conferences at the neighboring waterfront convention center.

China Commodities Undercut U.S. Dollar / Commodities / China
By: Jim_Willie_CB
China is directing their mountain of reserves away from acquired mining firms and toward managed hedge funds. This is a new direction for Beijing, clearly in response to the refusal by Rio Tinto to permit a $19 billion stake from the Chinese aluminum giant Chinalco. They were frustrated and angered by the other refusal with the failed Unocal dea in 2005. Clearly, whether stated openly or not, the Chinese are thwarted by USGovt and UKGovt hidden leaders from investing in strategic firms. From their point of view, tarnished by ill feelings, their money is good for credit supply but not good for commodity supply lines. So China will continue its pursuit of significant interests in commodity firms, both metals and energy related, and will amplify the pressures by taking scattered interests in hedge funds,

Gold Pushes Higher on World Bank China Growth Forecast / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: GoldCore
The long term trend line price of gold at $925, which has been steady since Monday, pushed higher today based on news that the World Bank has raised its growth forecast for China. The Chinese stock market rallied as did commodities across the board. Another main factor behind the return of bullish sentiment for gold is the euro.

Gold, Oil and Natural Gas ETF Trading Report & Forecasts / Commodities / Exchange Traded Funds
By: Chris_Vermeulen
Gold has provided two excellent trades for us this year; both had less than 3% downside risk. With any luck we will have another trade soon. Gold has been forming a large reverse head and shoulder pattern since early March and currently trying to form the right shoulder. If this pattern completes and the price breaks the neck line at the $99 level we should see a nice rally towards the $120 - $130 level.

China’s Got a New Currency… and It Sure AIN’T the Dollar / Commodities / China
By: Graham_Summers
Let’s talk about China.
China is the US’s largest creditor. All told, the People’s Republic has $700+ billion in US Treasuries. However, if you account for other dollar denominated investments, China is believed to have 70% of its $1.7 trillion in foreign reserves sitting in green backs.

Gold and Silver Junior Mining stocks Summertime Buying Opportunity / Commodities / Gold & Silver Stocks
By: The_Gold_Report
Consistently urging investors to be patient and disciplined, practicing what he preaches has earned Adrian Day a sterling reputation and recognition as an authority in both global and resource investing. In the long term, he anticipates much more upside in gold juniors than seniors, and in the short term—specifically this summer—he looks forward to an "extremely good buying opportunity" among some of the juniors he follows. In this exclusive Gold Report interview, the President of Adrian Day Asset Management also says he sees gold "convincingly" breaking through the "magical big round number" of $1,000 within 9 to 12 months and expects gold to outperform stocks "fairly significantly" over the next year or so. That doesn't necessarily lead him to an optimistic economic forecast, though. Because the recession gripping the globe is the result of "secular deleveraging contractions" (interest rates too low and money too easy), Adrian thinks it will take a long time to pull free.

Gold Hit by Deflation / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Adrian_Ash
THE SPOT PRICE OF GOLD recovered two-thirds of yesterday's 1.4% drop for US investors in London on Tuesday, but it dropped further against all other major currencies as the Dollar fell hard on the forex market.
"Gold is currently testing its 100-day moving average (925.24)," says a technical note from London market-makers Scotia Mocatta. "A substantial break below would be bearish [but] throughout April the 100-day proved a poor signal.

Chinese Consumption of Agri-Foods has Changed the Dynamics of the Global Agri-Food Situation / Commodities / Agricultural Commodities
By: Ned_W_Schmidt
The governments of China and Russia keep trying to get the attention of the Obama Regime. With a “Money Grows on Trees” attitude, those overtures on the desperate financial situation of the U.S. are being ignored. When the IMF cashes the first checks from the central banks of China, Russia, and Brazil, the trend toward the demise of the U.S. dollar will be validated.

Silver Heading for Higher Highs After Current Correction Ends / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Roland_Watson
A week or so ago we gave the short term view of silver that a decent sized top was in. Our first choice Elliott wave pattern (see below) looked complete as you can see from the chart we reproduce below. We had an alternate wave count which would be invalidated if it went below $14.80. That has now happened so the first choice count is vindicated.
