By: Hubert_Moolman

We could be very close to the end of a financial era that started about 1971.

Gold Investment Demand Poised to Jump? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010

By: Julian_DW_Phillips

We were right in believing that the € and gold will and are de-coupling. But far more than that is happening in the gold markets of the world. But the process is an ebb and flow process, with this week seeing gold move with the € and last week moving independently of both. What is becoming clearer and clearer to investors is the gold price should not move with the € or with any other currency, as there are few common denominators between gold and currencies. The erosion of confidence in currencies is far more pertinent to the gold price. Along that line of thought a look over the last year and more is relevant to the future of gold.

Silver Strong Rally Resulting in Silver/Gold Ratio Reversion / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010

By: Zeal_LLC

Silver’s recent rallying action is starting to catch traders’ attention.  Since the end of its latest correction in early February, this white metal has surged 23% higher.  It has well outperformed gold, which only climbed 9% over this same 9-week span.  And based on silver’s strong historical relationship with gold, odds are today’s silver rally is only beginning.  Silver’s gains should accelerate in the months ahead.

By: Jordan_Roy_Byrne

While Gold is a hedge for inflation and deflation, that doesn’t mean that gold stocks are a hedge or outperformer in either environment. As we wrote last year, gold stocks tend to perform better when deflation is the concern.

By: The_Gold_Report

Is there a China bubble? Not according to Gianni Kovacevic, corporate development strategist and principal of Kovacevic Consultants. In this exclusive interview with The Gold Report, Gianni says that China will continue to be the primary driver of fundamental demand for copper and other resources. He says the amount of infrastructure already built in China, and to be built, is not a road or bridge to nowhere, but a critical necessity. Hundreds of millions of people are participating in the largest migration in human history, presenting a great opportunity for investors.

Gold Sizzles as Europe Fiddles / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010

By: John_Browne

Much to the relief of jittery global markets, Greece's chronic debt problem has been papered over in a burst of European solidarity and apparent magnanimity. But this act of mercy may cost Germany its key position of financial dominance over the European Central Bank (ECB), which, in turn, could be detrimental to the long-term health of the euro. And so even though the euro stiffened once the immediate default fears abated, the price of gold was pushed to a new all-time high in euro terms (and a five-month high in dollar terms). [i]
