By: The_Energy_Report
Oil and Gas Analyst Adam Michael is excited—in some cases very excited—about a lot of things in his sector, including Turkish gas and Latin American oil plays. He even gets excited about long-term oil price fundamentals. Just don't ask him about the domestic oil and gas market. It's just so yesterday's cycle.
The Energy Report: Adam, please give us a macro view of the energy market.

The World According to Gold / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Midas_Letter
Whenever gold touches a new record price, goldbugs leap up and down and slap each other heartily on the back in a self-congratulatory ritual that is becoming as predictable as the 4 seasons. They are right, and they know it. For all the troughs in the chart since 2000, any tenacious golden insect who held on through trial and tribulation has only seen his fortune grow. Naysayers have gone silent, for the most part, but for that implacable breed who can still claim a flat earth when all the evidence is in supporting a round planet.

What You're Not Hearing About the Coming Offshore Oil Drilling Ban / Commodities / Crude Oil
By: DailyWealth
Matt Badiali writes: Several months ago, I published a research report on the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow waterway that runs along the Iranian coast.
Around 40% of the world's oil supply moves through this "chokepoint." That oil is pumped from the fields in the Middle East, loaded onto ships, and sent to Asia, Europe, and North America.

Gold New High, It’s All Better Now / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Neil_Charnock
Gold reached US$1248.20 which was a new record high in USD. Silver has also followed gold up, this rally looks like the real thing. I have to stand corrected here as I was off the mark a little in some recent statements. I forecast US$1180 as an interim top and it only reached $1170 before pulling back to the $1140 level. I had also thought we would have pulled back for longer and that this rally would be a false break out. So much for short term forecasting it is extremely difficult. This short term forecast turned out wrong thanks to one trillion more reasons potentially circulating in Europe.

Gold Trend Forecast 2010 Updated and Related Market Ratios / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: David_Petch
The daily chart of the Canadian dollar index is shown below, with the lower 55 MA Bollinger band falling beneath the lower 55 MA Bollinger band, suggestive that a bottom of some degree has been put in place. Full stochastics 1, 2 and 3 are shown below in order of descent, with the %K beneath the %D in all three instances. Given the sharp decline in the Canadian dollar the past few weeks, expect another 1-2 weeks of basing before any move up commences.

Gold and The Coming Financial Tsunami - Redux / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Gordon_Gekko
In light of what’s happening right now (and the fact that I never posted it on ZH before), I thought it relevant to post this article that I wrote in the February of 2009 as a primer for friends and family to help them become aware of what was happening (and prepare for what I saw coming). Remember – this was written for people who were very much enmeshed in the MSM propaganda world and had no clue of the reality behind our economic, financial and monetary system. The idea was to gently introduce them to the truth and give a brief overview, so you won’t find me going into the full technical and gory details; plus I wanted to keep the length manageable so as to not put them to sleep.

Has Gold Become The Worlds New Reserve Currency? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Pravda
For decades, the U.S. dollar has been the reserve currency of the world. This has given the United States an extraordinary amount of economic power, but as the U.S. economy has started to come apart over the past decade, other nations have increasingly sought to move away from the U.S. dollar and find other alternatives. For a long time it was thought that the Euro would become the next great reserve currency of the world.

Gold Rising Whether Dollar Rises or Falls? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Przemyslaw_Radomski
During the previous weeks much has been said about the declining Euro and what effect it may have on the price of gold - we argued that declining Euro doesn't mean that gold has to decline. We don't want to get into details once again in this essay, but instead we would like to remind you about several facts that we feel have been forgotten during the past several weeks.

Gold and Silver Outperform / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Mike_Paulenoff
My pattern work shows that gold and silver are in powerful uptrends, while crude oil and copper could be in the latter stages of completing a multi-month top. Indicative of a problem, perhaps due to China market weakness, for the industrial commodities? For whatever reasons, these commodities are no longer part of a homogenous group, and instead either are attracting or repelling capital inflows based on their own perceived fundamentals.

Gold and Silver The Only Game in Town 2010-2011 / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Jordan_Roy_Byrne
There are numerous reasons both fundamental and technical as to why the precious metals complex will surge over the next 18 months. The sector’s surge will be reinforced by the lack of an obvious trend in most other markets. Gold, Silver and the mining stocks will surge while other markets languish.

Can Corn Commodity Prices Make a Comeback? / Commodities / Agricultural Commodities
By: Money_Morning
Jason Simpkins writes: Corn prices have slumped some 24% since January and more than 50% since hitting a record high $7.65 a bushel in June 2008. Now they are being further threatened by potentially the largest corn harvest in history.
Still, there's reason to believe that corn prices will rebound.
