Gold Myth Busting- U.S. Dollar, Deflation and Hyperinflation / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Adam_Brochert
There are a lot of myths and “old wives’ tales” out there about Gold and the frequently accompanying topics of inflation and deflation. In no particular order, I’d like to debunk three big ones with facts rather than universally accepted catch-phrases that prey on lazy investors and speculators.

Gold Fails at $1000 Resistance, Trend Turns Lower / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Merv_Burak
That $1000 level seems to be a tough nut to crack. It’s looking like we’re in for some rough times ahead in the gold market. At this point it is not serious but gold could drop a notch or two over the next few weeks.

Crude Oil Imminent Trend Reversal / Commodities / Crude Oil
By: Clive_Maund
Oil has staged the relief rally predicted in the last Oil Market update posted early in March. Our original target was the $70 - $80 area, but due to the time it has taken to get to the current level, the target is now lowered to the current level or a shade higher. The reason for this is that the slower rate of ascent than expected has allowed the 200-day moving average to drop down further, so that it is now in the low $60`s and still dropping quite steeply and it is rare for the price of anything to push far past a falling 200-day moving average before it reacts back again.

Natural Gas ETF UNG Heats Up / Commodities / Natural Gas
By: Mike_Paulenoff
The U.S. Nat Gas Fund ETF (UNG) was up for most of the session Friday,
closing flat, while the U.S. Oil Fund ETF (USO) closed down more than
three-quarters of a percent. My pattern work is warning me that crude oil
prices are peaking, but that natural gas prices are bottoming. Could that
actually happen?

Temporary Gold Price Spikes Over Next 2 Years / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: The_Gold_Report
With generous enough cash flows to fund expansion and fuel organic growth without going to the market for capital expenditures, the companies that Mike Starogiannis follows should be in a position to drive stock valuations up. According to Mike, Wolverton Securities' Mining Research Analyst, as long as they enhance their production profiles, they are in good shape—unless the price of gold drops considerably. But in this exclusive interview with The Gold Report, he tells us that his sights are set on gold averaging in the neighborhood of $900 to $1,000 per ounce over the next year or two, and any spikes in either direction would be temporary phenomena.

Is Gold Going to $1,200 Soon? Or... ? / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Julian_DW_Phillips
Currently several newsletters are pointing to the prospects of a fall in the gold price to $850 during this summer. They then say that later in the year, after September the gold price will rise to $1,200 Some say it will rise now to $1,000 first then tumble back to $850 before rising to $1,200 later in the year. If it does pull back to $850 prior to a rise to $1,200, then it is clearly an excellent trading opportunity for even long-term investors, with a potential 50% trading profit!

Silver Elliott Wave Alternative Counts Analysis / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Roland_Watson
Having looked out to months if not years and decades in our last article, we shift to the other end of the scale and how the eight hour chart of silver is going. I mentioned a near top to subscribers recently and one target price was the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the entire March to November 2008 drop. On the NYSE that drop was $20.90 to $8.79 and if we do our sums that retracement comes out at $16.27. Yesterday silver got as high as $16.23 and has reacted to the downside with a dollar drop so far.

Next week, Marin will return with colleague Dr. Marc Bustin to talk about other sectors in the energy market.

Agricultural Commodities Trading: Wheat Retreat Keeps Base Incomplete / Commodities / Agricultural Commodities
By: Seven_Days_Ahead
An initial recovery in Wheat prices last year was subsequently almost completely reversed. Another attempt has reached the area of the previous recovery high, but bulls have lacked the s/term courage to push higher. However, the current pullback may be just the opportunity to jump on board before the next try.

Crude Oil Prices Supported by Emerging Markets Demand / Commodities / Crude Oil
By: Pravda
Another considerable fall in prices on oil will most likely not happen, Russia’s Minister for Economic Development Elvira Nabiullina said. The current rise of oil prices is based on speculative factors, but the demand on energy carriers will be determined with the needs of the growing economies of the developing countries, the minister said in an interview with The Vedomosti newspaper.

Precious Metals: Too Far Too Fast? What’s Likely to Happen Now? / Commodities / Gold & Silver Stocks
By: Przemyslaw_Radomski
This year’s bad economic news overshadowed the aspect of geopolitical risk, which again reared its ugly head over the past few weeks. North Korea has conducted a new nuclear test and fired short range missiles. Iran has made several moves that in slower news cycles would have dominated the headlines. Israel, worried about the situation in Iran, is conducting a five day drill, dubbed ‘Turning point 3,” to prepare Israel’s rapid response capabilities in the event of simultaneous missile strikes and terrorist attacks. All this is bad enough without mentioning other flash points, such as Afghanistan, Pakistan, Nigeria and Venezuela.
