By: Przemyslaw_Radomski
Is it true that the dollar, the yen and Swiss franc may be better investments than gold if the world economy slips back into recession?

On Which Basis to Value Gold? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Ned_W_Schmidt
Market metrics, like a thermometer, simply reflect the conditions in a market. They do so without opinion or emotion. Metrics such as valuation do not cause market prices to change. Valuation, however, is often a precursor of change as investors, individually and then collectively, respond to price relationships, altering their buying and selling. Valuations of markets will not make you rich anytime soon, but they could make you poorer if they are ignored.

What's Holding Gold Back? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Peter_Schiff
Gold first broke $1,200 on December 2, 2009; nine months later, instead of witnessing the birth of the full-on gold boom I have long anticipated, the yellow metal has gained a modest 4%. Fortunately, it has spent the summer solidly above $1,150, which should put to rest the claim that we are seeing an exponential gold bubble like we saw in 1980. And those waiting for the "big pullback" to $8-900 might be seeing the futility in their cause. But I never doubted the strength of this secular bull market. In fact, I still maintain that gold is grossly undervalued. So, what's holding gold back?

Gold Bullion – Are the stars alligned for a major breakout? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: David_Urban
Historically, the argument against Gold was that it provided no yield to investors. Stocks, bonds, and cash all provide some sort of yield so Gold as an investment has no merit.
But that view appears to be changing, with volatility in the equity markets, bonds now providing little or no yield (witness the US treasury yield curve and IBM's latest offering), and money markets and cd's providing scant yields Gold is looking much more attractive as a place to park cash.

Global Yuan Is A Threat To U.S. Dollar But Good For Gold! / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Julian_DW_Phillips
We have written many times about the need for the Yuan to be a global currency and eventually a global reserve currency [one of several]. We have talked of how it had to develop its banking system before it could take such a journey. We highlighted the experiments that the Chinese were making first in Hong Kong then in Guanchow in using the Yuan in international dealings. More importantly we highlighted the consequences to other world currencies, in particular the U.S. Dollar, of the Yuan becoming a well used international trade currency. The day is now here when the Chinese are starting to propel the Yuan onto the international scene

Gold New All Time High Prevented by Determined Sellers at $1260 / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: GoldCore
Gold and silver have gradually eked out gains in Asia and European trade after yesterday's slight sell off. The central bank of Bangladesh's purchase of 10 metric tonnes of gold from the IMF (worth some $403 million) is supporting gold as it reminds market participants that central banks are set to be net buyers of gold this year rather than net sellers. This is a monumental shift in terms of the supply and demand dynamics in the gold market and is bullish. Asian central banks worried about their large dollar and euro holdings look set to put a floor under the market and will be buyers on dips in the price.

Gold Rises to £816 as Pound Falls on UK Trade Deficit and QE2 / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: GoldCore
Gold is flat in dollars but higher in euros, Swiss francs and particularly British pounds this morning (see Cross Currency Table). Jitters about European sovereign debt markets is keeping gold above $1,250/oz and near record highs of $1,265/oz. The complacency of recent weeks is giving way to the gradual realisation that the worst may not be over yet, in terms of the global financial crisis and this could lead to a challenge of $1,300/oz in the short term rather than the long term.

By: Tarek_Saab
In Title 31 of the US Code, the United States Mint is required by law to supply "in quantities sufficient to meet public demand, one dollar silver bullion coins of specified size, weight, and design." (Source) This law is widely referenced, and I have criticized the US Mint in the past when it fails to meet consumer demand because of poor planning, despite the availability of silver.
