Gold Price Set for Sharp Drop, Opportunity to Go Short / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: Clive_Maund
It has been widely assumed across the markets that the forces of deflation have been vanquished by the Fed's making it plain a couple of weeks ago that it is going to throw all of its firepower into the battle to defeat it. So let's make this as clear as possible - the forces of deflation will not be defeated by anything until they done their work of expunging the massive overhang of debt from the system. The Fed's latest stated policy is merely a display of desperation and a symptom of intellectual bankruptcy in that they seem to think that more of what created the problems in the first place is now going to somehow fix them. We are going into a depression anyway, and they have made it plain that for good measure they are going to destroy the currency into the bargain. In reality, all they are trying to do is buy as much time as possible - they know they are cornered and that the system is doomed and procrastination is all that is left to them.

Financial Repression: Invisible Taxation, Surprise Inflation and Gold Confiscation? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: DK_Matai
What is financial repression in a nutshell? Financial repression is invisible taxation which erodes the purchasing power of individuals via inflation. "By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens. By this method they not only confiscate, but they confiscate arbitrarily; and, while the process impoverishes many, it actually enriches some..." wrote Lord Keynes in The Economic Consequences of the Peace in 1919, in the aftermath of the Treaty of Versailles that followed the First World War and delivered "Carthaginian peace" sowing the seeds for the second global conflict within two decades.

The Final Gold Price Run Trend Forecast / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: Darah_Bazargan
If ever an up-trending market is without a health restoring correction process, investors seemingly have leaned too far to the side of one bias. Generally the result is an ‘approaching top’. This might be the case now since Gold is contained within a sideways structure; a pattern that represents indecision and lack of direction. But under different circumstances, particular price behavior of this kind can presage a grimmer outcome.

Gold Bull Market Opposing Forces / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: Clif_Droke
What accounts for gold's strong performance since the initial rebound in July? That's the question that many analysts are (belatedly) trying to answer. The first and most obvious answer is stimulus; specifically the stimulus provided by the world's leading central bank in the U.S. The Federal Reserve's latest bond-buying scheme known as QE3 is to date the biggest stimulus aid that has had an impact in boosting the gold price.

Junior Mining Stocks Could Soon Outstrip the Senior Ones / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: P_Radomski_CFA
It would behoove those who still cling to a misguided faith in fiat currencies to pay close attention to what is happening in Iran. The rial swooned in a free fall as much as 18% on Monday to a record low against the US dollar. The collapse was so steep that Iranian currency websites blanked out the rate. The currency has reportedly lost 80% of its value since the end of 2011. It is literally getting to a point that it will not be worth the paper on which it is printed.

The Solar Silver Thrust, Soaring Demand from PV Panels / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: Jeff_Clark
Jeff Clark, BIG GOLD : In early July, Japan set a premium price for solar energy that was three times the rate of conventional power. This meant utility companies would be paid three times more for electricity sourced from solar. It's widely expected that the premium will ignite the use of solar power – and solar uses a lot of silver.

Fed QE and Gold & Silver Commodity Price Trends / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: Zeal_LLC
After the Federal Reserve launched QE3 last month, investors and speculators are growing excited about its future impact on gold and silver. Though the Fed’s QE3 campaign started out relatively small, its open-ended nature is utterly unprecedented. Thus an unknown amount of future inflation will be spawned. Naturally gold and silver thrive in such environments, as they proved during QE1 and QE2.

Gold Price Technical Analysis and Trend Forecast 2012 / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: David_Petch
The following article was published for the benefit of subscribers on October 4th, 2012. This article is provides technical analysis for gold from many different perspectives. Other analysis posted over the past 12-15 months on the Internet can be viewed in site archives to follow trends of other markets we follow. The FED and other countries around the world are participating in an effort to rescue the global economy by creating money out of thin air, which really is credit. With the pattern that the Contracting Fibonacci Spiral is indicating, these balloons of liquidity the FED is blowing may turn out to be lead balloons...the US Dollar is set to decline, which in turn will inflate prices seen in the stock market, commodities and their related stocks. This price inflation is thought to be the issue that will cause markets to top out and cause a deflationary episode starting sometime beyond July 2013 and extending into late 2014...this is the thesis of our work, based upon discovery of the Contracting Fibonacci Spiral that broad market indices are currently in. I am working on a piece for Stocks and Commodities magazine that will hopefully discuss this theory at a level I have not yet presented. For gold bugs, expect a pause until no later than mid-November, followed by a very sharp price move in gold...

Gold Price Stance - Evidence of link between rising gold price and unravelling world economy / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: Brian_Bloom
Over the past few months I have been writing cautionary articles regarding the gold price. I have received so much “hate/derisory mail” in response to my last two articles – typically from people who have read them at a superficial level – that I concluded it will be constructive to clarify my assessment of the gold market in words that do not require anyone to read between the lines.

By: Ben_Traynor
SPOT MARKET prices to buy gold climbed to $1794 an ounce ahead of Thursday's US session, a new 2012 high, while stock markets were broadly flat and US Treasury bonds fell ahead of the publication of minutes from the latest Federal Reserve policy meeting.

Silvers Seasonal Price Swing / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: Anthony_David
It’s that time of the year again when it makes perfect sense to invest in silver. Based on data compiled over the last 20 years, silver prices are known to peak during April-May and then again towards the end of the year. Between May and October, silver prices reach a low and then plateau out. The price of silver has grown from around USD 3.66 per ounce in early January 1993 to a high of USD 48.7 per ounce in April 2011—an amazing increase of 1230%.

So, Who's Been Bidding Gold Price Higher? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: Adrian_Ash
A unique, innovative tool for seeing just what private investors are doing in gold...
Gold was up, up and away in September. But who was doing the buying?
New data we released today here at BullionVault show that private households across Western Europe and the US continue to join the bull market. But their response to QE3 and the latest phase of the Eurozone crisis is more measured - you might even say complacent - than the recent price action alone suggests.

Gold Bullion and Stocks Potential Intermediate Term Price Targets / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: Jordan_Roy_Byrne
The precious metals complex rebounded strongly in August and September, which is typical when the larger trend is bullish. We believe the larger trend turned bullish with the bottom in May. However, weeks ago we noted targets of $1800 for Gold and 57 for GDX as resistance points. The market has begun a corrective period which should last deep into October. Nevertheless, such a correction would provide an excellent entry point before the market makes its next move higher. Today we examine potential medium term and intermediate term targets for Gold and the gold stocks.

Silver Take Profits and Go Short, But Prepare to Reverse Position Immediately... / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: Clive_Maund
The story for silver at this point is much the same as that for gold, but as usual, more extreme – with silver there are bigger gains to be harvested, and bigger prospective profits if it now reverses violently to the downside, which could be occasioned by a larger dollar rally, as predicted on the site at the weekend.

Gold Brutal Correction Brewing, Time to Take Profits and Go Short / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: Clive_Maund
Action in the Precious Metals markets yesterday was VERY bearish and confirms our suspicion that an intermediate top may be forming that could lead to a brutal correction. Yes, yes, we know how bullish open-ended QE is for gold and silver and how the dollar is doomed etc, but so does everyone else – and the latest COTs show that both Large and Small Specs have thrown everything they have got at this uptrend, as we observed at the weekend. The trade is now dangerously overloaded on one side of the scales and a larger dollar rally, which looks likely on technical grounds, could trigger a sudden rout in the PMs.

Gold Hits Record High in Euros and it’s Setting Up for Another Rally / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: Chris_Vermeulen
October 2nd, 2012 at 9:07 am The price of gold hit a record high this past week . . . in euro terms (at about 1380 euros). The record came after a number of actions by central banks around the world, trying to stimulate their respective economies. The actions, usually centered around money printing, once again had investors looking for refuge in gold.
