Crude Oil Is Going Down And Will Bottom in November 2011 / Commodities / Crude Oil
By: Andrew_Butter
This is a continuation, after reflection, of an article posted last week which in turn was a reflection on an article posted two weeks ago, which said oil prices were likely to “reverse” sooner rather than later, (which turned out to have been pretty-much correct).

By: GoldCore
Gold and silver are higher this morning with the dollar, the British pound and commodity currencies falling in value. It is too early to tell whether the recent margin-driven, paper sell off on the COMEX is over but physical supply remains limited while demand remains robust, particularly in China, India and wider Asia.

By: Seven_Days_Ahead
In recent issues of the Commodity Specialist Guide we had been noting possible bull fatigue in Brent Crude Oil. A sharp sell-off found temporary support from a 38.2% pullback level, but failure here would herald a more prolonged correction phase.

By: Jeff_Berwick

Silver, Time to Buy / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Puru_Saxena
Only two weeks ago, the price of silver was rapidly appreciating in a parabolic advance. Back then, sentiment towards the white metal was extremely bullish and its price was approximately 78% above its 200-day moving average. Furthermore, on the 25th of April, silver registered a key reversal whereby its price tested the all-time high recorded in 1980 but failed to hold on to its intra-day gains.

Central Bank Demand to Constrain Supplies of Gold / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Julian_DW_Phillips
The Chinese mining sector is currently producing 340 tonnes a year and rising. No doubt there is every encouragement from the State for this figure to rise. We believe that no matter how high it rises, little if any of that supply will reach the world's 'open' market in London. Even global gold production is not likely to rise significantly from the current level of around 2,500 tonnes. Therein lies a development that, in itself, will change global gold market dynamics.

Gold a Bubble? Forbes Predicts New Gold Standard Within 5 Years / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: GoldCore
Gold and silver's recovery in recent days proved to be temporary and further falls were seen yesterday (sharply in silver) prior to a tentative recovery overnight and then more falls again this morning. The euro has stabilised after recent sharp falls and euro gold at €1,050/oz remains comfortably above €1,000/oz after a period of correction and consolidation. Euro gold looks like it is set to break above record highs of €1,072/oz (12/28/10) and target €1,100/oz as the European debt crisis deepens.

Gold Stocks Stuck in Consolidation / Commodities / Gold & Silver Stocks
By: Jordan_Roy_Byrne
Though Gold and Silver were able to make new highs in recent months, the gold stocks (as evidenced by GDX (large caps) and GDXJ (larger juniors) never did. We wrote of their relative weakness and how it was a warning sign for the sector. The shares failed to breakout and have fallen back into their consolidations at a time when the sector tends to consolidate and correct.

Fresh Water Ecological Overshoot / Commodities / Water Sector
By: Richard_Mills
For most of human history we've been consuming resources at a rate lower than what the planet was able to regenerate.

Agricultural Commodities Markets Are Fertile Ground for Investor Profits / Commodities / Agricultural Commodities
By: Money_Morning
Larry D. Spears writes: Commodities have received an unprecedented amount of attention over the past year, largely because of the rising price of gasoline and dramatic moves by the precious metals.
However, gold, silver and oil haven't been the only high-flyers. Although they haven't generated nearly as many headlines, agricultural commodities markets also have seen substantial price gains over the past year.

By: GoldCore
Gold and silver have extended their recovery and may be headed for the fourth day of gains due to the continuing European sovereign debt crisis, Chinese inflation (+5.3%) and the real risk that rising oil and commodity prices are leading to an international inflation spiral and stagflation.

What is Someone Holding Silver to do? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Ned_W_Schmidt
The clay tablets now seem incomplete. Some additional comments, or rules, should have been included One that comes to mind is that all of the above apply to politicians. That Keynesian economists are not excluded from the one about stealing would have been nice. For what else is Keynesian ideology other than a rationale for stealing the wealth and income of working citizens? Also, a tablet suggesting firm rules for certifying bear markets would have been helpful
