Why Oil’s Price Is Baffling Analysts (but Not Us) / Commodities / Crude Oil
MoneyMorning.com Dr. Kent Moors writes: It sure has been amusing to watch the oil instant experts trying to shove “square peg” explanations into “round hole” price moves this week.
For most of yesterday’s trading session, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil prices were declining about 1% after a huge 4.5% rise on Friday. Once again, the “experts” had instant prognostications, once again they signaled a familiar refrain – a strong dollar, oversupply – and once again they missed the boat.

How To Profit From A Bursting Bond Bubble / Commodities / Resources Investing

Gold Stocks Crash Opportunity Better than 2005 / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2015
Dr. Steve Sjuggerud writes: In July 2005, I recommended three small gold stocks in my high-priced, speculative newsletter back then called Sjuggerud Confidential.
At the time, gold-exploration companies were dirt-cheap and completely ignored. Nobody wanted anything to do with them.
My top recommendation went on to return a 995% gain. That's the largest gain of any recommendation in the history of my publisher, Stansberry Research.

Gold Sector Big Picture / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
On shorter time frames the gold sector has been viewed as being on an 'anti-USD' inflation bounce. This bounce scenario in gold stocks and commodities took a hit last week with the US dollar's strong bounce.
In NFTRH we are managing things on both short and long time frames, with the short-term currently tied to movements in the USD. On the long-term however, things appear to be setting up for the next big macro play. The following charts are used for big picture updates to give perspective to the shorter-term work we do each week in NFTRH.

Gold Charts Back to The Future / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
In today's report I would like to show you some old charts, that we've not looked for the most part, in a long time. Some of the long term members may remember some of these charts that go all the way back to when we first opened our doors at Rambus Chartology. When you build long term weekly or monthly charts things change very slowly vs the minute charts. What you were thinking several years or longer ago can still be relative to today's price action. It lets you know if what you were seeing in the charts back then was way off base or if what you were thinking back then was correct or at least fairly close to what the present day's price action is showing. It forces you to be honest with yourself.

Gold And Silver – Charts Only / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
We have a conflict in time, this weekend, so we are presenting charts only, since they provide the best information about what the market is doing, especially when almost all fundamental data has not produced the positive results they appear to indicate.
The fiat Federal Reserve “dollar” remains the antithesis of gold, since the elite’s central bankers do all they can to discredit the metal that makes a lie out of all the fiats issued and without taking responsibility for its ultimate destructive outcome. After all, the sole objective of the elites is to steal as much wealth from the masses as possible during their quest for a New World Order, well on its way.

Gold Price in Different Currencies / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
The slowdown of worldwide trade and GDP may affect different currencies in distinct ways. It is well time that we briefly analyze the relationship between the yellow metal and other currencies than the U.S. dollar.

Gold Still Waiting / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
Gold has been frustrating for bulls and bears since its crash in Q2 2013. In the two years since it has traded in a wide range, frustrating traders and investors. The net result has been nothing but the passing of time. Until Gold breaks above $1300 or breaks below $1150, we will remain in waiting mode. Personally, I believe Gold is far more likely to break lower in the weeks and months ahead. In any case, we are still waiting.

Gold, Silver and US Dollar Strength / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
Markets this week have been all about renewed dollar strength, with precious metals side-lined. The only notable move was when gold lost $20 and silver 40 cents on Tuesday, following holidays in the US and UK on Monday. The reason for the sudden fall was the dollar strengthened against the euro, which faces a possible Greek exit, and also the yen for unspecified reasons other than its recent consolidation looks to be over. In the case of the yen, the chart level of ¥123 was comprehensively taken out, clearing the way to a run north of €130 (note that a higher number is a weaker yen).
