Gold Monster First Delivery Day For August / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016

By: Jesse

Nova Scotia offered up 406,700 ounces of gold from their house account for the first delivery day in August. That is the biggest number I have seen in some time.

And they sold it at what was close to the low for yesterday at $1,332. That's what one gets when they sell big in an active month which August is for gold. What were they thinking?

Gold Bull Market or just a Bear Market Rally? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016

By: Tony_Caldaro

While many are touting a new bull market in Gold, and Silver for that matter, history suggests otherwise. When we look back at the history of commodity prices for the past two centuries we observe generally short bull markets followed by longer bear markets. Since Gold was fixed for most of this period a chart going that far back would be of little use.

By: Plunger

Everything is now aligned for the final upward impulse to complete Phase I of the great bull market in the PM stocks. All the technical work is now done. The backing and filling complete.

So let’s take a look at the weekly and daily gold price and see how it has been methodically taking all the healthy steps required to set-up for this rally’s completion.

Gold And Silver – Merkel: Example Of How Clinton Is A Globalist Puppet / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016

By: Michael_Noonan

Americans have faced mass murder tragedies over the last few decades, all home- grown killers: Columbine high school shootings, the Sandy Hook elementary school shooting, [a false flag?], the recent Orlando shooting, to name a few amongst so many others. The taking of innocent lives in such a senseless manner is a heartfelt reaction experienced by the entire nation.

It is with empathy that we identify with the terrorist events that occurred in Germany, equally senseless but attributable to a common external trigger: Islamic terrorists. We use the term Islamic to describe the terrorists with no concern to be “politically correct.” The source of the murderers is beyond question. We also feel for the French and what that nation has been suffering as a consequence of allowing foreign Middle East immigrants to freely enter the country.

Gold and Gold Stocks Correction Over, Eyeing New Highs / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2016

By: Jordan_Roy_Byrne

In a bull market corrections can end quickly. One minute you are projecting another 5-10% downside and the next, the market has left lower prices in the dust. A negative reaction to the Federal Reserve statement could have caused lower prices but instead Gold and gold stocks are now primed for new highs. Fundamentally, we know the Fed will do nothing to prevent real rates from remaining negative. Since the trend has turned, Gold and gold stocks have mostly ignored the moronic, empty drivel emanating from these supposed geniuses. Moreover, despite reports of increased potential for a rate hike in September, weakness in precious metals abated and buyers returned.

Gold Stocks Benchmark Battle / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2016

By: Zeal_LLC

The gold-mining stocks have enjoyed enormous gains in their young bull market this year, trouncing all other sectors.  Naturally this radical outperformance has led to surging popular interest in this usually-obscure contrarian sector.  New investors are wondering how to best track its performance, about which gold-stock benchmark is the definitive one to use.  Something of a battle is brewing over new versus old.

Benchmarks are very important for stock trading.  Their performances over any given span really help investors and speculators quickly understand how a sector is faring relative to others.  Just one easily-digestible number distills down the collective performances of many stocks.  Benchmarks also provide standards by which the performances of both individual stocks and individual traders can be objectively judged.

How To Use the XAU-To-Gold and HUI-To-Gold Ratios / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2016

By: Arkadiusz_Sieron

The gold miners-to-gold ratios are indicators that show how many gold ounces are required to purchase one share of an index. Technically, the numbers are the value of the index divided by the price of gold. They show a relative value of miners to the price of bullion, thus indicating whether gold stocks or gold are overvalued or undervalued relative to each other. When the ratios are low, miners are cheap compared to gold, and when the numbers are high, gold stocks look expensive relative to bullion.

2016: Current Gold and Commodity Market Themes / Commodities / Commodities Trading

By: Gary_Tanashian

A year ago almost to the day we began tracking a ‘Macrocosmic’ theme that would eventually see gold bottom and rise vs. stocks and bonds in 2016, joining its bullish status vs. commodities, which had been in place since 2014.

Gold Bullion Up 1.6%, Silver Surges 3.7% After Poor U.S. Data and Dovish Fed / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016

By: GoldCore

Gold bullion was up 1.6% and silver surged 3.7% yesterday, their second consecutive day of gains, after U.S. durable-goods orders dropped sharply, adding to speculation that Federal Reserve policy makers will maintain ultra loose monetary policies. Gold and silver consolidated on those gains in Asia and in early European trading.

A Potential Life Changing Precious Metals Market / Commodities / Articles

By: Rambus_Chartology

The markets have a way to push you just beyond your limits to get you to do the wrong thing at the wrong time and then reverse on a dime. The bearish sentiment from just a casual observation over the last few weeks has felt like there was no way the bulls could rally the PM sector higher before there was a decent correction. In a new bull market the surprises come to the upside and not the downside.

Still Waiting for a Precious Metals "Correction"? Get Off the Dime and Buy Some Silver / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016

By: MoneyMetals

Over time, charts for a bull market tend to print higher highs and higher lows on the way to the primary top. Two steps forward, one step back, creating a visual stair-step effect.

This chart "picture" has been in evidence for gold, silver, and the miners since January.

Gold and Pork Bellies / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016

By: Nick_Barisheff

Many investors and their financial advisors consider gold to be a commodity, which makes gold no different than copper, timber, pork bellies or orange juice. They do not understand, or simply are unaware, that gold has been successfully used as money for over 3,000 years. Although some people think it is an archaic relic, the facts don’t support this view. So, what is money?

Gold is traded on the currency desks of all major banks and brokerages, along with dollars, euros, yen and pounds, and not the commodity desks along with other commodities – the FX traders know gold is money.

Silver Is Insurance Against The Worst Part Of This Depression / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016

By: Hubert_Moolman

The worst part of the world's ongoing financial crisis is still on the way: A crisis that has its roots in the debt-based monetary system. The debt-based monetary system has facilitated the growth of debt, to levels that will inevitably bring total collapse.

Everyday we see more and more events (think Greece, Deutsche Bank, etc.) that suggest that the total collapse is very close. The number of these will increase over the coming months, while their extent will also greatly magnify.

How would you invest money you didn't need for ten years? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016

By: Michael_J_Kosares

One in six investors chose gold as the best place to park money they wouldn't need for more than ten years – the same number that chose stocks, according to a recent Bankrate survey. Another 6% chose bonds, while 25% chose real estate, and 23% said they would simply bank the money.

To the typical Wall Streeter, these results represent a world turned upside down. CNBC's Jim Cramer took one look and lamented, "As someone who has lived and breathed stocks for most of my life, this is a horrendous finding. But it's not surprising."

Silver Manipulation – Because They Needed the Eggs / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016

By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis

“It reminds me of that old joke- you know, a guy walks into a psychiatrist's office and says, hey doc, my brother's crazy! He thinks he's a chicken. Then the doc says, why don't you turn him in? Then the guy says, I would but I need the eggs. I guess that's how I feel about relationships. They're totally crazy, irrational, and absurd, but we keep going through it because we need the eggs.” - Woody Allen

While there is no question of government enabling, (by decree or inaction), market manipulations haven’t really changed all that much in character over the centuries.
