Kitco Gold Bullion Index Comes With a Twist / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Lorimer_Wilson
Up until now we have always questioned to what extent the price of gold was due to the U.S. dollar’s weakness or to gold’s secular strength but with the introduction of the Kitco Gold Index now we know - precisely - because it measures the price of gold, not in terms of U.S. dollars (USDs), but rather in terms of the same weighted basket of currencies that determine the US Dollar Index. How ingenious!

Silver Uptrend Hit by Goldman BombShell / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Clive_Maund
Silver did make a little further progress following the last update, but the going was heavy as it battled resistance approaching its December and January highs, and the gains were incremental.

Gold Breakout Stalls / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Clive_Maund
For a while gold looked like it was breaking out, but several of the important conditions for a successful upside breakout that were explained in the last update 2 weeks ago were not met and on Friday gold turned sharply lower. Although Friday's drop is thought to mark the start of a reactive phase, it is considered likely that it will prove short-lived as the overall picture for gold remains positive.

Gold, Silver and Crude Oil ETF Trend Trading Forecasts / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Chris_Vermeulen
Last week was exciting with broad market and gold forming an intraday reversal pattern after a long overbought rally, then broke down though short term key support levels. While this move lower was tough on the pocket book for those who chased the market up the past few days and/or were not moving their protective stops up, this move is good for the health of the market.

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.

Silver’s gains should accelerate in the months ahead.
