Natural Gas Rebound Meets Resistance / Commodities / Natural Gas
By: AnyOption
The recovery in gas prices from the March lows continues to play out, although it is increasingly evident that fundamental conditions will not alleviate the downside pressure on prices over the near-to-medium term especially as seasonal demand factors subside. With production possibly to climb amid higher prices, the stage is set for a renewed downturn in prices following the technical correction higher in prices, aided in part by a brief cold front that swept across the United States. Demand growth on its own will not be enough to offset the record seasonal storage levels, with only falling supply helping to correct the ongoing imbalance.

Commodities Rally / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016
By: Ed_Carlson
Commodities (S&P GS commodity index) saw their first rally in three weeks last week with a gain of 3.98% to close at 329 (thanks to Friday's 4.05% gain). If BWI hadn't moved into a confirmed sell-mode last week, commodities look as if they are extending the Jan. rally. Bulls wait for a close over the March high at 337. Bears get short on any sign of a double top near that same level.

Gold Money or Digital Money? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016
By: DeviantInvestor
Guest Post from Graham Reinders, an intelligent man with vast experience. (slightly edited)
What Do We Want From Gold?
- Roosevelt proved that gold was a political/financial tool, and its value is politically governed.
- Nixon proved two things: that the “Gold Standard” was nothing more than an arbitrary political tool, and indeed he made gold “legally” not money anymore. To make it illegal is an easy step if necessary. Gold is now such a small fraction of the economy I do not think it matters except as an underground currency.

Silver Price Climbs to $16, Confirming Gold’s Breakout / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016
By: Jason_Hamlin
Hi Ho Silver, Away!
Precious metals have registered a blistering start to the year. After more than four years of defeat, gold bulls once again have something to be excited about. The gold price is up 19% year to date and the mining stock ETF (GDX) is up over 60% since the start of the year. Not bad for a barbarous relic!

HUI Goldbugs Index : Some Perfect Chartology / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2016
By: Rambus_Chartology
Below is a daily chart for the HUI which shows one of the original patterns that formed the, what turned out to be a Diamond reversal pattern to the upside. There are at least several more reversal patterns that formed at this most important low. As you can see the Diamond had seven reversal point making it a reversal pattern to the upside. The breakout was accompanied by a gap and then a backtest to the top rail. Everything looked good to go at that point then after just four days of rallying the HUI quickly reversed direction and traded below the apex of the blue triangle which is not what I wanted to see as that usually is a bearish setup in this case.

By: Nadia_Simmons

What's next for the XOI? Let's jump right into charts (chart courtesy of http://stockcharts.com ) and find out what can we infer from them about future moves.

Gold Mining Shares Topping, Drop Due / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2016
By: Brad_Gudgeon
Either we saw a top in the mining shares Friday or we will see it on Monday. The cycles suggest a low around April 19th and the e-wave pattern suggests a continuation higher after the bottom is put in, likely into early June.
The 8 year low still looms in the fall. I still believe we will see lower prices after the spring rally terminates, and lower stock prices and a strong dollar play havoc with the commodity sector.

Gold And Silver - Fallacy Of East v West And Price Of Precious Metals / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016
By: Michael_Noonan
The ongoing draining of gold from West to East is not a sign of deteriorating viability of the globalists and their takeover/total control of the world. The Game remains the same, the controlling elites remain the same, it is only the players that are changing: China, Russia, replacing US, UK/EU.
Take Putin, aka Russia, for example. He has had a long-term association with Heinz [Henry] Kissinger, a higher-tiered "gofer" for the global elites. They met again in early February, when Putin welcomed globalist-NWO-agenda-pusher Kissinger as an "old friend," referring to him as a "world class politician." Putin embracing a globalist is no accident.

Can Silver Keep Pace With Gold? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016
By: David_Morgan
By Debbie Carlson | Contributor: Some investors like silver’s dual status as an alternative currency and industrial commodity.
Gold’s surprising strength in price is capturing headlines, but another precious metal, silver, is chasing gold’s coattails – without the fanfare.
Silver futures are up about 8.5 percent this year, making it stand out among other commodities and financial markets. Investors snapped up coins, with U.S. Mint data showing March silver coin sales were up 17 percent over the previous year’s figure. Inflows into silver-backed exchange-traded funds witnessed their highest monthly inflow since December 2010, according to Commerzbank.

Gold Stocks Breakout, Gold to Follow / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016
By: Jordan_Roy_Byrne
Last week we concluded:
Read full article... Read full article...As long as the gold stocks continue to hold support for another week or two then the near term outlook is bullish. A bull flag is a consolidation pattern that separates two strong moves. It could be developing in the miners. There is logical reason to be cautious if not bearish at this point. The metals look okay at best while the miners remain somewhat overbought. However, the action in the miners, if it continues for another few weeks is telling us what could be ahead.
