Gold Just 1% From Record Nominal High of $1,444/oz – Risk of Dollar Crisis Increases By Day / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: GoldCore
The U.S. dollar and yen are under pressure again today while gold and silver have taken breathers after yesterday’s gains (see table). Rather than gold and silver rising in price, we are seeing the continual devaluation of the U.S. dollar, the yen and all fiat currencies and thus their prices falling against the precious metals.Read full article...

Series of International Crisis Impact on Gold / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Pete_Grant
The first quarter of the new year has been a tumultuous one, marked by geopolitical unrest in North Africa and the Middle East, major natural disasters in New Zealand and most recently in Japan, and of course ongoing economic turmoil throughout much of the industrialized world. This has resulted in rather extreme market volatility, amid fits of risk aversion associated with broad-based uncertainty about the likely impact of recent events.

Gold and Silver Are At the Threshold of Another Bullish Rally / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Peter_Degraaf
This chart courtesy Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, shows the Monetary Base is rising exponentially. The current total is 2.35 trillion dollars. The increase since Jan 1/11 is 15.7%. The annualized increase is almost 65%! This increase is providing fuel for gold and silver to rise! The bankers of the world are concerned about social unrest and unemployment. They will continue to inflate (in the mistaken belief that this will solve the social problems), while pushing the effect (hyperinflation) as far into the future as possible.

China Imports 245 Tonnes of Silver in February and Qatar SWF “Interested” in Buying Silver / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: GoldCore
Gold and silver rose on the open in Asia and have continued those gains so far in European trading with the Libyan military conflict leading to a safe haven bid and falls in the dollar and yen. The all time and multiyear nominal dollar highs set on March 7th ($1,444.95/oz and $36.75/oz) look set to be challenged as gold is less than 1% from its record high and silver less than 2% from its nominal recent high.Read full article...

Why Gold Is No Longer An Effective U.S. Dollar Hedge / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Bob_Kirtley
During the first nine years of this gold bull market, gold prices moved with a near perfect inverse relationship to the US dollar. Indeed, in the early years gold was only really moving up against the greenback, it was only after a few years that it began to appreciate against all currencies. The game plan was simple; the dollar is going down, so gold in USD terms is going up with some leverage factor. Gold worked well as both a USD hedge and as a tool to speculate on a USD decline. This is no longer the case.

The Failure of Gold to Breakout Despite Compounding Crisis / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Merv_Burak
So, why hasn’t gold shot up through the roof with all that’s been going on lately? It’s a good thing I’m a technician and don’t have to come up with a WHY, as I don’t have a clue why. Let’s just go ahead and see where we are and possibly which way the wind is blowing. But first, the Merv’s Venture 30 Index.

Significant Breakdown in Gold or a Short-term Bottom in Platinum? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Przemyslaw_Radomski
Japan is definitely the talk of interest in capital markets. The economic fallout in the recent days did not lag much behind nature’s destructive forces. The financial aftershocks gathered force as investors fled from assets deemed risky such as stocks, oil and gold (the latter is quite surprising). Amid worries that the crisis could slow down a global economy, investors were also spooked by a 16 percent drop in Japanese shares early during the week. Stock markets slumped around the world as investors sought what they believe to be safe havens, like United States dollars and Treasury Bonds. (We are constantly amazed that people deem these assets to be safe havens.) It is inevitable that most investors will feel the ripple effects of Japan’s disaster in their portfolio one way or another.

Power and Profit for Gold and Silver Partisans / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: DeepCaster_LLC
“Nothing will unnerve the paper gold shorts more quickly and do more to undercut their confidence than to strip them of the real metal and force them to come up with more hard gold bullion to make good on deliveries. ‘Stand and Deliver or Go Home’ should be the rallying cry of the gold longs to the paper gold shorts." - Trader Dan Norcini

Silver in SPX Stock Market Selloffs / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Zeal_LLC
Silver’s massive surge since late January has naturally made it wildly popular these days. But with the general-stock-market weakness gathering steam, silver traders are increasingly wondering if it could somehow spill into and affect silver. Market history not only shows it likely will, but the odds favor a rather severe downside impact.

Tips For Hedging Silver / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Money_Morning
Larry D. Spears writes:
Gold has gotten a lot of attention recently, as the yellow metal earlier this month rose to yet another record high. However, gold's little brother - silver - shouldn't be forgotten.
Although gold has garnered most of the headlines - thanks primarily to its historic role as a hedge against both inflation and the political turmoil - silver has actually turned in a far more impressive performance since mid-2010.
