Gold Climbs on the Back of U.S. Dollar Weakness / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
Gold: Gold continues to hold steady above the $930 level and has climbed in morning trading to $939. Indeed this climb is the biggest since April and is on the back of the continuing weakness of the dollar and a rally in oil prices. A weak dollar and inflationary fears are causing investors to seek alternative hedging strategies and gold is confirming its safe haven status with its continuing strength.

Gold Mid-Year Seasonal Trend Review July 2009 / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
During the course of the year, it is always good to sit back and review the current markets you’re involved in. In this manner, one would look at the performance not only from a percentage gain or loss basis, but in the field of seasonality as well. In other words, if we are interested in the gold market, we want to see if it is following the typical script in price movement in relation to past years. Keeping an eye on seasonality will alert you to when the best chance for highs and lows to occur during the year.

Gold Holding Steady at the $930 level / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
Higher than expected inflation figures out of the U.S yesterday buoyed the price of gold. Gold is holding steady at the $930 level, recovering from some of its recent losses. Gold’s fundamentals remain sound and the news that David Einhorn’s Greenlight Capital Inc. hedge fund has moved its gold position from an ETF into physical bullion in the second quarter, will further bolster the case for physical possession of the yellow metal to hedge against possible financial and economic difficulties.

Gold, the King of Metals Will Keep Its Crown / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
Agoracom market analyst Peter Grandich, who isn’t among those who expect the world at large to emerge from “this absolutely horrific downturn” by year-end, instead sees good opportunities on the horizon for investors who want to “buy things on the cheap” because prices will fall in the equity markets. He also sees bright prospects for gold—particularly gold ETFs and mining companies that are in or near production and have potential for developing additional deposits. At the same time, Peter tells The Gold Report that the “severely wounded” U.S. economy should anticipate rougher and tougher times. Given his penchant for accurate predictions, that’s not a very comforting forecast.

Gold, Silver, HUI, - Rally’s Are Starting! / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
A few weeks ago I drew your attention to the ‘golden cross-overs’ that have been showing up in so many charts. These cross-overs (where the 50DMA move into positive alignment with the 200DMA), are still intact, and continue to progress.
By way of review, here is the cross-over for the GLD gold ETF.

Renewed Pressure Forthcoming for Crude Oil / Commodities / Crude Oil
My pattern work in nearby crude oil argues for more weakness after this little bounce off of the $58.00 area (into the $62.50-$63.00 area max). If weakness resumes as anticipated, then oil should head for new reaction lows in the $55-$53 target zone to complete the first downleg in the aftermath of the recovery rally from the January low at $32.70 to the June high at $73.23.

U.S. Dollar Wobble Sends Gold Higher / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
Gold: The dollar wobbled overnight pushing gold to $923/oz. Gold is determinedly staying above the psychological $900 mark at the moment and the news that the US federal deficit has topped $1 trillion for the first time ever and could grow to nearly $2 trillion in the coming months is causing concern about higher interest rates and inflation and this should see gold well supported at these levels. The market will likely takes its direction from U.S producer prices and retail sales data released later today.Read full article... Read full article...

BRICA Wealth Demand Driving Long-term Agri-Food's Mega-trend / Commodities / Agricultural Commodities
While visions of economic stability and other fantasies dance in the heads of the elves at the Federal Reserve and those in the Obama Regime, the financial markets seem to be losing momentum. Both equity markets and Gold have succumbed to the Summer heat, wilting under the Sun. But sorry that is not global warming, that is just Summer.

Silver DownTrend Meeting Strong Support Level / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
Silver has been in a steep intermediate downtrend since early June, but there are signs that this downtrend may soon have run its course, or even have run its course already. On the 1-year chart we can see that having failed to find any serious traction near its 50-day moving average, silver broke lower again towards the important support level shown, which is expected to put a floor under the price, especially as the Cup & Handle formation shown on the chart is a strongly bullish pattern, although it is very possible that its downtrend will end around the current level as it has arrived at the trendline support of a longer-term potential uptrend channel, also shown.

Gold Summer Doldrums Projects Towards a Sideways Trend / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
The Summer* doldrums are upon us with many investors more interested in the weather forecast than the markets. Although the Summer vacation period is often a time of drift in the markets for obvious reasons, there are exceptions like August 07, when the sub-prime crisis erupted, forcing many brokers to put down their champagne glasses and make a hasty retreat from the beach - and the lighter trading volumes at this time of year make it even easier for big money to steamroller the little guy.
