Silver, CRB Summer Trend Forecast, Goldman Sachs Bullish on Commodities, Should You Be Worried? / Commodities / Commodities Trading
By: Clive_Maund
In the case of Richard Russell the answer is certainly not. This is because Richard Russell is right most of the time, especially over the longer-term outlook, despite, or perhaps because of being an octogenarian (in his 80's). Of course nobody is right all of the time, not even Maund, so he could be wrong and so could I. Russell's scenario for the Summer is set out in this brief but interesting blog on King World News. With regards to Goldman Sachs the answer is a little more complicated. With them it is crucially important to distinguish between their clients and the world at large which they sell stuff to.

Commodities Risk Trade / Commodities / Commodities Trading
By: Zeal_LLC
Commodities prices have been exceptionally volatile in recent weeks, with big daily rallies and plunges intermingled. Seemingly without rhyme or reason, commodities surge one day as traders crave riskier bets but then fall the next as they flee risk. While this commodities risk trade often looks capricious and schizophrenic, it actually has a logical and consistent driver. The state of the stock markets.

By: Ned_W_Schmidt
RHODIUM TRADING THOUGHTS is about timely and profitable trading of precious metals. We do not believe every turn in the market can be called.

Our goal is simply to state whether conditions for a metal are favorable or not. Buy signals are issued when appropriate.

Commodities After The Crash, No Way But Up / Commodities / Commodities Trading
By: Andrew_McKillop
After a suspiciously short and likely programmed commodities crash we can only have the right hand leg of a "V" profile for commodity prices - until and unless big things happen with the major currencies and national debt crises of most OECD countries, or we have a global economic crash. To be sure, this is the context for highly classic speculative frenzies, where fundamentals are put on the back burner, and the front burners are turned to full on.

Commodity Markets, Renewed period of bad news = good news? / Commodities / Commodities Trading
By: ECR_Research
Renate van Ginderen writes: Generally, investors remain very bullish on commodity markets. No surprise there - the Fed is still inclined to pursue an extraordinary loose monetary policy. Should macro-economic data deteriorate in 2011, however, this could still be interpreted as positive to asset prices as in that case the Fed will be more likely to opt for a new round of quantitative easing. Therefore, one can expect upward pressure on commodity prices over the coming weeks to months, albeit probably with an intermediate correction, as explained below.Read full article...
