By: Money_Morning
THE PRICE OF GOLD rose 2% early Monday, briefly touching $739 an ounce before slipping back as world stock markets continued to struggle after suffering their worst month in 21 years.Crude oil slipped again, while the US Dollar and Japanese Yen held steady on the currency markets after October's record surge, when "all the trades that worked well for the past five years went badly very quickly," as one Citigroup strategist put it to Reuters this morning.

Gold Near Low as Massive Physical Demand Continues / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: Mark_OByrne
Gold and silver have risen in Asian and early trading in Europe today. Last week saw gold fall some 1.4% while silver rose 4.9%. The performance of the precious metal mining shares may be an indication that we are at or near a low in this sell off as the HUI and XAU mining indices were up sharply last week - up 14.4% and 14.95% respectively. They tend to be a leading indicator of a trend reversal in the precious metals. Read full article... Read full article...

U.S. Money Supply Growth to Lead to Higher Inflation and Gold Price / Commodities / Money Supply
By: Ned_W_Schmidt
In the past few weeks, U.S. Federal Reserve has joined with U.S. Treasury in an attempt to remedy the financial fiasco. In that effort, the Federal Reserve's balance sheet has ballooned by more than 50%. Never in peace time history has the central bank for the world's reserve currency so intentionally implement policies that will destroy the value of that reserve currency . Read full article...

Eric Lemieux: Gold's Behavior Flies in the Face of Every Theory / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: The_Gold_Report
In an exclusive interview with The Gold Report, Eric Lemieux, metals and mining analyst with Laurentian Bank Securities, describes gold's inexplicable descent as a violation of market fundamentals. Eventually the worsening supply deficit will energize the precious metals sector and when it does, he believes the junior explorers will be well positioned to benefit. He focuses on the emerging mineral wealth of the James Bay area of Quebec and discusses his favorite explorers. Read full article... Read full article...

Commodities Bull Market? / Commodities / CRB Index
By: Zeal_LLC
The face of today's mainstream financial media has gone from meaningful analysis and commentary to constant tub-thumping between undisciplined Main Streeters, overambitious Wall Streeters, and ignorant bureaucrats. It has turned into a showcase of the blame game, everyone looking for a scapegoat to shoulder the iniquities of the masses. Read full article... Read full article...

Silver Investing When Everyone Else is Panicking-Party Time…. Let's Celebrate! / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: Investmentscore.com
When it comes to investing, does the title “Party Time…. Let's Celebrate!” sound counter intuitive right now? This title is the most opposite/contrarian and therefore it is likely the most appropriate title we could think of at this time. Why? Read full article... Read full article...

Silver Production Falls by 70%? / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: David_Morgan
This headline should grab anyone's attention, especially those interested in the silver market. Before going forward, let me explain that fully 70% of silver is produced as a result of mining other metals, mostly base metals. Copper mining, for example, is responsible for 28% of the silver mined in 2007. Lead/Zinc mining yielded 32% of the silver mined in 2007. Finally, gold mining brought about 10% of the silver mined, again in 2007. All data is from GFMS World Silver Survey 2008, page 31. Read full article... Read full article...

Comex Gold and Silver Markets Hurtling Towards Default / Commodities / Market Manipulation
By: Jim_Willie_CB
The COMEX gold & silver markets are each hurtling down a dangerous path toward default. The artificial paper price has created enormous physical demand, and hampered supply production, if not delivery. The gap between the JPMorgan-led corrupted phony paper price and the legitimate physical price in actual trading markets has grown sharply, enough to force a breakdown like in any distorted market. When December contracts in gold & silver are demanded to be satisfied via delivery of the metal, it will be clear that the COMEX is running a scam. A default is highly likely. Of course, they can continue to deny contract holders the right to benefit from delivery, as they have been doing for months to ‘Non-Economic Customers' but soon the ‘Commercial Customers' will be defrauded. Arrests are warranted. We will see how this corruption unfolds. Read full article... Read full article...

Gold to Explode Higher Following Mutual Debasement of World Currencies / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: John_Browne
Despite the fact that the governments of the G-7 nations have injected some $3.5 trillion into their financial systems to prevent a meltdown of the world's financial system, stock markets are still reeling. With some stocks down by over 60 percent, many investors already have been through a disastrous erosion of wealth. The declines have not occurred in just a few days as they did in 1929. Rather, Government interventions, regulatory changes and bailouts have drawn out the fall in prices over a long enough time period to make it feel like a slow water torture. Read full article...

U.S. Inflationary Interest Rate Cut Bullish for Gold / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: Mark_OByrne
Gold rose nearly 2% yesterday as the Federal Reserve decreased the fed funds rate by 50 basis points to 1.00%. Other central banks internationally are also slashing interest rates and there is increasing speculation that the Bank of England and the ECB may cut interest rates aggressively as early as this week and possibly even today in an effort to prevent international financial contagion causing a sharp global recession.Read full article...

SIlver Up Trend Continues / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: Mike_Paulenoff
All my near-term technical and pattern work on the iShares Silver Trust ETF (AMEX: SLV) argues for upside continuation that tests key near-term resistance at 10.00/30. If that area happens to be hurdled, I will get signals that point the SLV to 12.00 thereafter. Why? Perhaps what we are seeing is a technical representation of the reaction of the "precious" metals complex to VERY low interest rates (typically a bullish environment for commodities), coupled with the massive liquidity injections that could kindle expectations of monetary inflation translating into eventual "goods" inflation. Be that as it may, as we speak the near-term technical set-up in the SLV is improving rapidly.Read full article... Read full article...

Gold Gains as Stock-Rally Fades on Collapse in World Trade / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: Adrian_Ash
SPOT GOLD PRICES jumped to a one-week high of $765 an ounce at Wednesday's New York opening, gaining 12% from Friday's 12-month low as the strong rally in world stock markets faltered.
Wall Street futures pointed lower ahead of today's Federal Reserve decision, widely expected to deliver a further 0.5% cut to US interest rates, taking the returns paid to Dollars back to the 6-decade lows now blamed for the sub-prime housing bubble of 2001-2007.

There is informed speculation that investment bank selling pressured gold this morning.
