Gold and Crude Oil Rally, A Long Term Look / Commodities / Commodities Trading
By: John_Winston
When you get right down to it, no matter what techniques one might rely on for his investment decisions there is one thing that they all have in common. In order to be successful an investor has to be on the right side of the longer term trends.
We are all bombarded with daily charts and sometimes weekly, but looking at the long term monthly charts can reveal areas where price on the long term has historically shown to be important turning or continuation points. Not only do they give you a perspective or where price has been in the past, it gives you an idea of where price is now in relation to where major peaks and bottoms occurred.

A Billion Hungry Mouths, China’s Grain Demand Could Explode / Commodities / Agricultural Commodities
By: Sean_Brodrick
While most commodities have blasted off, agricultural commodities have lagged the rally. I think that’s going to change in a big way, thanks to a country with a billion hungry mouths and plenty of cash. I’m talking about China. And I have three picks to play China’s growing hunger.

Roubini Hates Gold, He Was Wrong On The Dow (So Far), Wrong Again? / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Andrew_Butter
I was a huge fan of Professor Roubini until on 14th March he declared that the rally was a dead cat sucker bounce, at that point I realised that alas; everyone is human. On reflection perhaps he was also wrong about the current account deficit “causing” the crunch, my view is that was just a sideshow. But that’s history; and big picture he got to the right answer in Technicolor before anyone else.

Rising Gold Dances but Won't Die with the U.S. Dollar / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: The_Gold_Report
With all the 'strong dollar' rhetoric coming from the Fed and broken-record Bernanke, it's a wonder any investors are making money. But one we know and trust is. . .because he's not listening. "The U.S. will continue to take a laissez faire approach to the dollar," says John Doody, Economics Professor for nearly two decades and current author and publisher of Gold Stock Analyst. In this exclusive interview with The Gold Report, John explains how he measures gold's price performance, why he believes most investors don't have enough gold stocks in their portfolios and which companies he's making money on right now.

Parameters in Equities, Crude Oil / Commodities / Crude Oil
By: Ashraf_Laidi
Last week's oil price break above $75 was an essential catalyst in accelerating the pace of USD selling beyond $1.50 in EURUSD, 0.93 in AUDUSD, and 1.03 in USDCAD. Technically, the next oil barrier emerges at $82.00 (100-week MA), a break of which would extend the rally towards $89.90. Coincidently, US equity indices also face their next resistance at the 100-week MA (1,100 for S&P and 10,209 for the Dow). But a more important landmark for the S&P500 stands at 1,121, which marks the 50% retracement of the decline from the October 2007 high to the March 2009 low.

Why the Rise in the Gold Price is Different this Time / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Julian_DW_Phillips
For over more than 18 months we have watched the gold price churn below $1,000 and in the process forming three tops, before breaking out to above $1,050 in early October 2009. Why will it not fall back to well below $1,000 and possibly as far as $850 this time?

Gold Overvalued Against Crude Oil? Long and Short-Term Analysis / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Przemyslaw_Radomski
The crude oil market has lost most of its popularity since it is no longer near $150 per barrel (no longer do oil-related topics dominate the main financial websites), but nonetheless I’m sure that nobody can deny crude oil’s importance in today’s globalized economy. It is vital for both businesses and individual consumers, as fuels are derived from it. Most of us need to drive and purchase goods that also need to be transported to us directly or indirectly.

Gold Gains New Friends / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: HRA_Advisory
Press rumors of planning meetings to shift crude pricing away from the US$, plus a 0.25% increase in Australia’s bank rate, has put some serious bounce in gold and silver prices. The yellow metal has convincingly moved past its old high, in US$ terms, and we expect that move to continue. Whether the details of the meetings reported in London’s The Independent are accurate in every detail or not, markets have had no problem accepting the basic point that the greenback cannot expect long term support as the globe’s reserve currency.Read full article...

Gold IS the Best Game in Town / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Neil_Charnock
Gold IS the best game in town and when the music stops it may be the ONLY game in town that can yield any sort of return. The music I refer to here is the sound of spin given some measure of credibility (only to the un-initiated) by massive stimulus spending which has kept this farce of an economy on its last legs through various stages for 9 years.

Gold implications of Central Banks Monetizing the Financial Markets / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Christopher_Laird
Around 2005, I wrote an article that predicted that when the US housing bubble broke, there would be a stock/financial crash – and this:
“When markets collapse, the US Fed and other central banks will end up having to buy up the markets, and basically monetize them…in the $trillions”
