Gold Price Flashes Buy Signal on Technical Breakout / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: Jason_Hamlin
Gold is rocketing higher during the first two weeks of October, up roughly $75 to $1,185 today. This is a gain of 6.7% in just two weeks as investors are increasingly betting that the gold price has bottomed.
The price advance is being driven partially by comments from Federal Reserve board members suggesting that a rate hike is not a sure thing in 2015, as most analysts had once expected. This news has helped to push the dollar lower and precious metals higher over the past few weeks.

Gold Price Forecast to End 2016 at $1,400 an ounce / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: GoldCore
Gold prices are headed for a critical test according to The Week today. The Federal Reserve’s ‘wait and see’ stance suggests policymakers there are in no rush to increase rates this year. “Sentiment over interest rates has been controlling gold prices all year,” says The Week “as traders prepare for a rise that will lessen the attraction of non-yielding commodities and boost the dollar”.

Gold Stocks – Why Now? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: Willem_Weytjens
I have become more and more positive towards Gold STOCKS since the summer.
As my readers know, I went on a gold mining shopping spree on August 6th 2015, when I wrote:
As I wrote 3 days ago, Gold miners have been punished really hard. Maybe a bit too hard.
Therefore I went on a gold mining shopping spree today when the markets opened.

China To Continue Expanding Its Influence In The Oil And Gas Sector / Commodities / Energy Resources
By: OilPrice_Com
Since 2009, China has been taking a much more active role in its pursuit of international oil contracts. In 2009, for the first time, Saudi Arabia exported more of its oil to China than it did to the U.S. China also made large investments in Saudi Arabia's oil refining industry as well. But China's oil investments didn't stop there; they also pursued oil producing Canadian assets in 2011-12.Read full article... Read full article...

Gold Prices Will Rise Because … / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: DeviantInvestor
A) War in Syria, Ukraine, Middle East, South China Sea and other places seems more likely each month. History shows that wars are inflationary, commodities increase in price, and governments finance wars with debt and fiat currency. We want higher gold prices and no war, but the “powers-that-be” will do what is necessary to increase their power and wealth, and if that requires war, then expect more war.

Which Is The Better Investment - Gold Or The Dow? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: Austin_Galt
As far as I'm concerned, the only way to answer the question of which is the better investment between gold and the Dow Jones Industrial Index is to analyse the chart of the Dow expressed in gold. So, let's do just that using the monthly and weekly charts of the Dow/Gold ratio.

Gold Signals The End Of This Monetary Era / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: Hubert_Moolman
Gold remains our best means of economic measurement. It is not a perfect, but it is our best. Due to its monetary properties, gold can be used to measure wealth across generations.
Just like we have the sun and moon to discern the times and seasons, I believe, we have gold to discern changes in wealth. It is interesting that the sun is often compared to gold, and the moon to silver. Just like a day in the Middle Ages is comparable to a day in this century, an ounce of gold in the Middle Ages is comparable to one today.

China, The Great Depressions 1 & 2, and Gold / Commodities / Great Depression II
By: Darryl_R_Schoon
When uncontrolled credit growth results in speculative bubbles, capitalism’s cycles of expansion and contraction end in catastrophic deflationary depressions where large collapsing bubbles result in crippling levels of defaulting debt.
In June-July 2015, the Shanghai stock market retraced the beginning of the end of the historic 1920s US stock bubble whose collapse in 1929 ended in the Great Depression of the 1930s; and while it may appear history is repeating itself, it is not. This time, capital markets will not recover.

Why Gold Price Has Bottomed / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: Gary_Savage
Let me show you a few reasons why I think gold may have bottomed and why this intermediate rally could continue a lot longer than most traders expect.
I've marked the last two intermediate cycle lows with blue arrows. Now notice the intermediate trend line has already been broken and the dollar is only 7 weeks into it's intermediate cycle. That's a bad sign. It means the intermediate cycle has likely already topped and in an extreme left translated pattern.

New Hedge Fund Buying Enters Crude Oil Market / Commodities / Crude Oil
By: Dan_Norcini
First, let's start with an updated chart of the WTI Crude oil.
Crude has been in a range for most of the month of September oscillating near the 50 day moving average. It had been unable to do much in the way of additional upside however until this month, when it finally broke out above resistance at the top of the range near the $48 level. Friday it managed to best 50 on an intraday basis but then faded well off the highs heading into the close.

Gold Stocks GDX 30% Stealth Rally / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2015
By: Gary_Savage
We've had a stealth 30% rally off the low and still almost no one believes in the rally. Many bears are still trying to short this market. This is how bull markets start with no one on board and shorts still trying to press a very mature downtrend.

Gold And Silver Trapped In A Low-End Trading Range / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: Michael_Noonan
Syria: An example why gold and silver have not rallied, and an example of why gold and silver ultimately will rally.
As a side note, never in the history of the world has a fiat paper currency ever survived. Never before in history has there been so much fiat-created paper currency nor has there ever been as much debt in the world. Never before has the demand for gold and silver been greater, nor the supply of same less, relative to the demand. Obviously, as we have stated in the past, the natural factors of supply and demand are of no consequence for the pricing of gold and silver.

Why I'm Bearish on Gold / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2015
By: Submissions
Tony Mermer writes: Many investors have turned bullish on gold since it fell below $1080 in July, which was the 50% retracement level since gold's secular bull market began in 2001. These investors believe that gold's cyclical bear market is now over and that the secular bull is about to resume. I disagree. Gold will fall below $1000 before this cyclical bear market is over. Here's why.

Gold and Silver Bucket Shop / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: Jesse
"The terrible, cold, cruel part is Wall Street. Rivers of gold flow there from all over the earth, and death comes with it. There, as nowhere else, you feel a total absence of the spirit: herds of men who cannot count past three, herds more who cannot get past six, scorn for pure science and demoniacal respect for the present.
And the terrible thing is that the crowd that fills the Street believes that the world will always be the same, and that it is their duty to keep that huge machine running, day and night, forever."

Gold Stocks Major Breakout / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2015
By: Zeal_LLC
The left-for-dead gold stocks have rallied dramatically this past week, surging to a major breakout. This pivotal technical event reveals the hyper-bearish psychology plaguing this sector in recent months is dissipating, paving the way for investment capital to return. And given the fundamentally-absurd price levels in this battered sector, this new gold-stock buying is likely just the initial vanguard of a massive new upleg.
Even among contrarians, the overwhelming consensus view is that gold miners’ stocks are doomed to grind lower indefinitely. Pretty much everyone even aware of this obscure sector totally despises it, the inevitable result of recent years’ dismal price action. The flagship gold-stock index, the NYSE Arca Gold BUGS Index better known by its symbol HUI, certainly reflects the unbelievable misery in this business.

Dr Copper Back from the Dead - Time to Buy or Blink / Commodities / Copper
By: Sol_Palha
Anxiety is a thin stream of fear trickling through the mind. If encouraged, it cuts a channel into which all other thoughts are drained.Arthur Somers RocheOnce upon a time, in the good old days, before QE changed everything, any signs of strength from copper could be construed as a sign that the economy was on the mend. After QE, this story came to an end, and a new reality came into play. The Fed manipulated the markets in favour of short-term gains through what could be determined as borderline illegal monetary policy; a policy that has maintained an ultra-low interest rate environment that favours speculators and punishes savers.

Bundesbank “Reassures” Re. Gold Bullion Reserves as Deutsche Bank Shocks With €6 Billion Loss Warning / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015

The central bank said its gold reserves amount to 3,384 tonnes of gold worth just €107 billion at today’s prices.
