Gold Will Continue to Glitter in 2010 Despite Market Turbulence / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
Equities and Economics Report writer Victor Gonçalves, in this exclusive interview with The Gold Report, says the yellow metal will generally see more strength than weakness this year, hovering around $1,500. He's enthusiastic about some undervalued juniors and the prospects for rare earths, saying "a lot of projects are looking very economic and attractive."
The Gold Report: Victor, when we last spoke in October you predicted gold would see more strength through the end of the year and we'd see another market rally before a correction. Gold has indeed strengthened and we saw a market rally, but not a correction yet. Does it mean we are due for a correction and, if so, in what time frame and by how much?

Stronger U.S. Dollar Means Weaker Gold / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
The Dollar Index (DXY) continues strengthen (79.41 last), which is making life difficult for gold and the SPDR Gold Shares (NYSE: GLD). With the DXY making new recovery highs, its inverse relationship with gold remain remains very much intact, as the GLD presses marginally below its Dec 22 at 105.31. My near and intermediate-term technical work in the DXY argues for higher prices to 80.00 next and thereafter to 82.00, which if accurate implies lower gold prices that projects the GLD to the 100.00-99.00 next target zone.

Gold’s China Syndrome / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
Gold continues to slump lower as the U.S. dollar goes higher — and now we’re hearing talk of a gold “meltdown.” Oh, please! Sure, gold could be in for a deeper correction — I’d love for it to pull back to support around $945, so I could buy more. And as this chart shows, gold could be on its way there in the short-term…

Gold Versus Co2 Bancor, Why Are Gold Bugs Scared? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
Threats to gold's supposed 'natural role' as a strong, solid and reliable money standard always rise when gold prices are at, or near record highs. Generating fear in the minds of gold buyers and speculators, downsider sentiment is driven not only by the latest one-liner from George Soros, but also by the market action of vested interests stretching from equity asset managers, to central bankers and politicians. All rally to the task of 'saving the money', and other paper stores of value by acting to push down gold prices, whose current faltering levels near all time highs in nominal dollars could or might fall by 50%.

Silver Update, Investors Instant Gratification Or Complete Apathy? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
