As China grows bigger, implicit risk for commodities goes up / Commodities / China Economy

By: Submissions

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleJan Kaska writes: This may sound counterintuitive, but we believe that as China grows bigger, it poses the biggest risk to commodities. No doubt, over the long term, commodities should remain structurally well bid as emerging Asia and developing countries will continuously have to tackle the infrastructure gaps. For example, countries like India and Indonesia have a lot of catch-up to do. Or recall Africa, where the Chinese have to build roads and ports first in order to obtain access to untapped reserves of valuable minerals. And China itself is not done with infrastructure in its homeland by any means as the Western provinces are still stuck deep in poverty.

Undiscovered Energy Gems Sparkle in Uranium and Coal / Commodities / Energy Resources

By: The_Energy_Report

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleAs an investment option, uranium glows brightly for Siddharth Rajeev, vice president and head of research at Fundamental Research Corp. He also favors coal and explains why size matters when it comes to potash in this exclusive interview with The Energy Report.

The Energy Report: When you last talked with The Energy Report, you were more bullish on the uranium price than any other commodity. Since then, the price of yellowcake has gone from about $50/lb. to just under $70/lb. Is there much upward momentum left in uranium?

Gold and Silver Profit Taking At New Highs / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011

By: Jeb_Handwerger

Gold (GLD) is breaking into new 52 week highs and silver (SLV) is at its highest point in more than thirty years as Libya one of the largest oil producers faces a civil war. Libya is not following Tunisia and Egypt with a somewhat moderate transition. This revolt has been extremely violent and bloody. A lot of the fear at the moment is if protests spread to Saudi Arabia. Already there are reports of police opening fire on protestors and banning peaceful protests. This could be a game changer.

Silver May Rise to $40/oz in March on Tight Supply / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011

By: GoldCore

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleRisk aversion has returned with equity markets internationally under pressure after the Spanish downgrade and continuing geopolitical tension. Gold and silver have taken a breather and are lower in all currencies today. A correction is well overdue but the technicals and fundamentals would suggest that any sell off may again be short and shallow.

By: Adrian_Ash

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleTHE PRICE OF BOTH gold and silver bars fell hard against the Dollar in London on Thursday, dropping to 1-week lows – as did the single Euro currency – after the Moody's rating agency downgraded Spanish government bonds and China reported a surprise trade deficit for Feb.

Brent crude oil dropped more than $2 per barrel. World stock markets lost over 1.2%, with London's FTSE-100 falling to a 5-week low.

Crude Oil's March Madness a Boost for Refiners / Commodities / Oil Companies

By: Money_Morning

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleFrank Holmes writes : March Madness is still a few weeks away for college basketball fans, but the madness of March is in full swing for the oil sector. Turmoil in the Middle East sent oil prices up more than 6% last week - following a 5.2% gain in February. We also happen to be entering a time of year that has historically been good for energy prices and energy equities in recent decades.

The Coming Global Commodities Crisis / Commodities / Commodities Trading

By: Clif_Droke

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleThe last few weeks has seen a startling rise in fuel and food prices. This has been a key contributor to the political and economic instability overseas; it’s also paving the way for an even bigger crisis for the U.S. and the world economy by 2012.

Indeed, the oil price has been on a rip-and-tear largely owing to the Middle East crisis. The fear and uncertainty overhanging North Africa and the Middle East has also benefited the gold price. Our favorite gold proxy for instance, the SPDR Gold Trust ETF (GLD), recently made a new high and is still above its key immediate-term trend line.

Gold and Silver Parabolics 2011 / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011

By: John_Townsend

Diamond Rated - Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleAs you will discover from the charts and information in this article, the previous three gold and silver parabolics (2004, 2006 and 2008) had a common characteristic.  Each exhibited a midpoint consolidation - a resting place that separated the character of the first half and second half of the parabolic move.  This observation is particularly relevant at this time, as both gold and silver have presently completed this midpoint consolidation and are already on their way to concluding the 2011 parabolic.

Gold and Stocks on the Verge of Breaking Out! / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011

By: Chris_Vermeulen

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleThe past couple weeks we have seen strong distribution selling in the equities market followed by equally large days of buying. These buying and selling frenzies have formed a sideways consolidation.

Intraday movements have been sizable and more than enough to shake those trying to pick a direction early out of the market a few times. As fewer traders get involved the price range narrows and becomes compressed. Eventually there will be a breakout in a direction on heavy volume and with any luck it will start a new trend.

What's Driving the Silver Price Higher? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011

By: Julian_DW_Phillips

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleThe Silver Price is hitting new recent highs at $36.55 today in a more vigorous performance than even gold. Many in the developed world precious metal markets are amazed at the performance of silver and see this continuing, whereas others feel it is running away with itself. The "backwardation" in silver [when 'spot' - or immediate delivery prices are higher than for future delivery] has stressed just how much immediate demand there is for silver and clearly a physical shortage of the metal has arisen. There are two apparently conflicting pictures of the role of silver. The industrial side of silver demand, currently thriving and the investment side, which is also thriving and should continue to do so.

Utah Starts What Remaining States Should Finish, What This Means for Silver / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011

By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis

It wasn’t exactly headline news, but it wasn’t a quiet event either.  The Utah state house has passed a new bill that would allow the state to explore solutions to issuing its own currency, one made of gold or silver, and it seeks to allow its citizens to trade in gold and silver as bullion, not as arbitrary dollars. The bill, which many expect to fail in the state Senate, is certainly another small victory in the move toward sound money.

The Uncertainty of Crowds, Libya, Gold and Silver / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011

By: HRA_Advisory

With Libyans having joined the movement to overturn aging autocracies the Arab street action has moved into a geopolitically more difficult territory.  Concern over Libya’s oil exports are showing up as higher crude pricing.  Libya’s 1.6 M barrels/day of crude output may well undergo disruptions, but the Saudis could replace that if prices move high enough to cause concern.  As troubling is the unpredictability of Muammar Gaddafi and those around him.  They seem more likely to go down fighting than the western leaning autocrats have been, and that is more likely to cause splintering of the country and concern similar shifts elsewhere in the region.  Markets are reflecting this heightened uncertainty with continued gains for precious metals and US$ as well as oil.  We expect the US$ and oil to peak before gold and its cousins do.

Which Commodities Are Benefiting From QE2? / Commodities / Commodities Trading

By: Chris_Ciovacco

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleHaven’t we seen this movie before? The economy enters a recession; we have a bear market, the Fed cuts interest rates drastically flooding the global financial system with cash, and commodity prices begin to soar.

In the United States, the Fed has a handy way to ignore rising commodity prices, something they call core inflation. While most of us eat, drive, and heat our homes, the Fed excludes food and energy from its core inflation reading to remove “volatile” components of the inflation equation.

And thanks to renewed inflation fears and the growing unrest in Egypt, Libya and other Middle Eastern nations, most forecasters believe the "yellow metal" still has lots of room to run.

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleRenewed fears over eurozone debt have seen the euro fall against most currencies and precious metals today. The yield on Greek 10-year bonds is approaching an alarming 13% after jumping to a new record high of 12.89% today (see bond charts below).
