3 Years Of Painful Cuts Sets Oil Markets Up For Serious Supply Crunch / Commodities / Crude Oil
Total global oil production could decline for the next several years in a row as scarce new sources of supply come online.
According to data from Rystad Energy, overall global oil output will fall this year as natural depletion overwhelms all new sources of supply. But the deficit will only widen in the years ahead due to the dramatic scaling back in spending on new exploration and development.

Gold - Mr. Cool Cucumber is starting to Sweat / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016

Well now that we are into the first significant pullback lets see how Mr. Cucumber is doing and some of the market factors he is considering. Is he keeping his cool?

AMAT Chirps, b2b Ramps, Yellen Hawks and Gold’s Fundamentals Erode / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016
If we are going to highlight improving fundamentals, which we did as gold out performed commodities and stock markets, then we also have to highlight and respect eroding fundamentals; no ifs, ands or buts.
The plain and simple fact is that the Semiconductor Equipment sector is firming, with the April Book-to-Bill (b2b) joining Applied Materials’ quarterly report noted in NFTRH 396’s opening segment as another bullish [economic] indicator. Semi Equipment was a leader to the general Semi sector in early 2013, which in turn led the economy and job creation. Our fundamental gold view improved in January 2016 as gold launched upward vs. global stock markets, joining its positive status vs. commodities.

Gold: Bull Markets Go Further than Anyone Expects - Video / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016
The larger the consolidation the bigger the bull move will be once a breakout occurs. Considering gold’s 29 year consolidation phase I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect gold to go to a minimum of $10,000 before this bull is done.

Mongolia Displays New Buy Signals for Foreign Investors / Commodities / Asian Economies
font-weight:400; ">Mongolia, which can be considered one of Asia’s most vulnerable frontier markets, has been through a flurry of ups and downs during the past five years. Once praised as the world’s fastest growing economy, economic growth has recently approached recession levels amid the commodity bear market, China’s economic slowdown, and the rapid drop in FDI experienced from the delay of Oyu Tolgoi, and other mining disputes. Mongolia is a strong commodity export economy, and approximately 90% of these exports go to China, making it most vulnerable to the current commodity bear market and China’s economic slowdown. Furthermore, its economic performance has been hindered by the unpredictable actions of the government, which has been another strong factor for driving away FDI. The current economic landscape necessitates a shift in this previous anti-FDI attitude to avoid a recession, and notable improvements have already taken place this year, which will help improve Mongolia’s reputation for foreign investment. Mongolia is heading in the right direction, based on events that have taken place in recent months, and now is a strong time to consider stocks that are in a bottoming out phase. Read full article...

Today I'm going to talk about gold and silver for thatmatter we have had a put-back fairly sharp and yes a lot of people are
probably worried about this pullback in gold mainly because we've had such a

We note the ending action at 1, on the monthly chart. Besides the obvious support and resistance areas, what stands out are the two high volume months when price closed lower each time, once in March, and now for May.

Gold Junior Stocks Q1 2016 Fundamentals / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2016
The smaller gold-mining and exploration stocks have enjoyed an amazing year, soaring with gold’s new bull market. Many have more than doubled since mid-January, and some have more than tripled at best in that short span. Are such spectacular gains fundamentally-justified, or merely the result of ephemeral sentiment that could vanish anytime? The gold juniors’ recently-reported Q1’16 results offer great insights.
The junior gold miners and explorers play a critical role in the world gold market. They bear the major costs and risks associated with discovering and sometimes developing new economically-viable gold deposits. They painstakingly find the new gold reserves to offset the constant depletion of the world’s existing gold mines, acting as the headwaters feeding the global mined-gold-supply pipeline vital to this industry.

$HUI (Gold Bugs Index) Rally / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2016
I said one doesn’t need to chase the rally during the second leg, any gains would not be sustainable and would be given back.
At the low yesterday miners had already given back 62% of the second leg gains, and we are not done with the Intermediate Cycle Low yet. The final Intermediate Cycle Low isn’t due until late June or early July. This is why it wasn’t critical to chase the second leg, one was going to get a second shot at it anyway.
