Gold and Silver Mixed as Chinese Growth Softens and India Hikes Bullion Import Taxes / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis
Precious metals prices were buffeted last week as news was released of a reduced economic growth rate in China that sparked renewed speculation of near term monetary easing by the People’s Bank of China or PBOC. The release of softer Chinese GDP data may have prompted a rally in gold and silver prices as traders increasingly anticipated that the PBOC may move to increase economic production by lowering its benchmark interest rates. Chinese stock prices also generally improved.

Why Governments Will Want Much, Much Higher Gold Prices Soon! / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: Arnold_Bock
That governments will want - and will NEED - much, much higher gold and silver prices in the future is counter intuitive, given that they have done everything within their power till now to throttle back and to keep a lid on bullion prices. Let me explain why. Although we have seen eleven consecutive years of gold bullion price rises, such increases have been incremental, measured and at levels which make the remainder of the commodities and equities markets look volatile. Governments have used their preferred bullion banks as agents in the paper futures markets and their central banks, in conjunction with their respective Treasury bureaucracies, to limit the inexorable rise in precious metals prices as much as possible to keep gold - the only ‘real money’ - from drawing unfavorable attention to their own failing fiat currencies and uncontrolled sovereign debt.

Let's take a look at how long it may take for silver to rebound.

Gold, Financial Market Safe Havens / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: UnpuncturedCycle
For the last year or so there has been a lot of commentary with respect to money flows from more risky investments like stocks, commodities and gold and into the so called safe havens like the US dollar and the 30-Year Treasury. That’s the message heard day and night on Bloomberg and CNBC and they bring in one expert after another to back them up. They’ll sit there and beg the question knowing full well what the answer is going to be. It always struck me as far fetched that paper assets emitted by the world’s largest debtor, and backed by absolutely nothing, could be considered a safe haven. Meanwhile gold has been money for more than three thousand years and it is considered to be risky, speculative and down right dangerous by the gurus that fill the airwaves with their prophecies.

Gold Confiscation, a Reality? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: Julian_DW_Phillips
The issues facing the developed world's financial systems are ones of liquidity and solvency, among others. The assumptions of liquidity levels proved horribly incorrect! The request of the IMF to lift their resources from $380 billion to $980 billion and the currency swaps between the U.S. and Eurozone confirm that (these may still prove inadequate). Many markets, which reserve managers had considered to be deep and liquid, proved to be the exact opposite with assets-selling only at a large discount. This was even true of some AAA-rated assets, showing that credit ratings offered no effective guide to liquidity. Many central banks had to rely on bi-lateral currency agreements with other central banks, principally the US Federal Reserve.

Euro, Gold on the Move / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: Mike_Paulenoff
Purely from a technical perspective, let's notice that the Euro/US Dollar hit a one-week high this morning at 1.2985 off its low at 1.2620 (+2.85%). It has since corrected and turned up from 1.2890, which happens to be the recent upside breakout plateau of a two-week base-like formation that projects to 1.3080-1.3120.

Gold Stock Upleg Cycles / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: Zeal_LLC
Despite gold’s powerful secular bull over the past decade, gold stocks remain vexing to investors and speculators. Though this metal’s miners have yielded truly colossal bull-to-date gains, they failed to leverage the record-high gold prices seen in much of 2011. So naturally traders aren’t very enthusiastic about this sector at the moment. But they sure would be if they understood the gold-stock upleg cycles.

IF YOU'VE BEEN paying attention, then you'll remember how gold can make financial crises fun. Gold bulls were so short of things to keep them awake at night, in fact, many will no doubt be grateful for the 20% plunge of late 2011. Y'know, just to keep their hand in.

When Gold New All Time High? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: Jeff_Clark
By Jeff Clark, Casey Research : Some investors are frustrated and a few are worried that gold seems stuck in a rut. This stall in price has happened before, of course, but since 2001 it's always eventually powered to a new high. Unless one thinks the gold bull market is over, it's natural to wonder how long might we have to wait before seeing another new high.
Absent some sort of global shock that sparks another rush into gold (easily possible in today's climate), I think the answer may lie in examining the size and length of past corrections and how long it took gold to reach new highs afterward.
