The Constraints on Silver Supply / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Casey_Research
At the Casey Research Gold and Resource Summit, Bob Quartermain spoke about the constraints facing silver supply today, “Mine supply doesn’t meet demand and in many of the new applications silver isn’t being recycled, so it’s not going to come back into the scrap supply chain... We’ll have to go out and find new mines or new sources for silver; and that can only speak to higher prices.” We’ve got the highlights of his speech in the video below.

Gold and Silver Profit Taking At New Highs / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Jeb_Handwerger
Gold (GLD) is breaking into new 52 week highs and silver (SLV) is at its highest point in more than thirty years as Libya one of the largest oil producers faces a civil war. Libya is not following Tunisia and Egypt with a somewhat moderate transition. This revolt has been extremely violent and bloody. A lot of the fear at the moment is if protests spread to Saudi Arabia. Already there are reports of police opening fire on protestors and banning peaceful protests. This could be a game changer.

Silver May Rise to $40/oz in March on Tight Supply / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: GoldCore
Risk aversion has returned with equity markets internationally under pressure after the Spanish downgrade and continuing geopolitical tension. Gold and silver have taken a breather and are lower in all currencies today. A correction is well overdue but the technicals and fundamentals would suggest that any sell off may again be short and shallow.

Gold and Silver Parabolics 2011 / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: John_Townsend
As you will discover from the charts and information in this article, the previous three gold and silver parabolics (2004, 2006 and 2008) had a common characteristic. Each exhibited a midpoint consolidation - a resting place that separated the character of the first half and second half of the parabolic move. This observation is particularly relevant at this time, as both gold and silver have presently completed this midpoint consolidation and are already on their way to concluding the 2011 parabolic.

Gold and Stocks on the Verge of Breaking Out! / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Chris_Vermeulen
The past couple weeks we have seen strong distribution selling in the equities market followed by equally large days of buying. These buying and selling frenzies have formed a sideways consolidation.
Intraday movements have been sizable and more than enough to shake those trying to pick a direction early out of the market a few times. As fewer traders get involved the price range narrows and becomes compressed. Eventually there will be a breakout in a direction on heavy volume and with any luck it will start a new trend.

What's Driving the Silver Price Higher? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Julian_DW_Phillips
The Silver Price is hitting new recent highs at $36.55 today in a more vigorous performance than even gold. Many in the developed world precious metal markets are amazed at the performance of silver and see this continuing, whereas others feel it is running away with itself. The "backwardation" in silver [when 'spot' - or immediate delivery prices are higher than for future delivery] has stressed just how much immediate demand there is for silver and clearly a physical shortage of the metal has arisen. There are two apparently conflicting pictures of the role of silver. The industrial side of silver demand, currently thriving and the investment side, which is also thriving and should continue to do so.

Utah Starts What Remaining States Should Finish, What This Means for Silver / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis
It wasn’t exactly headline news, but it wasn’t a quiet event either. The Utah state house has passed a new bill that would allow the state to explore solutions to issuing its own currency, one made of gold or silver, and it seeks to allow its citizens to trade in gold and silver as bullion, not as arbitrary dollars. The bill, which many expect to fail in the state Senate, is certainly another small victory in the move toward sound money.

The Uncertainty of Crowds, Libya, Gold and Silver / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: HRA_Advisory
With Libyans having joined the movement to overturn aging autocracies the Arab street action has moved into a geopolitically more difficult territory. Concern over Libya’s oil exports are showing up as higher crude pricing. Libya’s 1.6 M barrels/day of crude output may well undergo disruptions, but the Saudis could replace that if prices move high enough to cause concern. As troubling is the unpredictability of Muammar Gaddafi and those around him. They seem more likely to go down fighting than the western leaning autocrats have been, and that is more likely to cause splintering of the country and concern similar shifts elsewhere in the region. Markets are reflecting this heightened uncertainty with continued gains for precious metals and US$ as well as oil. We expect the US$ and oil to peak before gold and its cousins do.

Gold Record High, How to Protect Your Profits / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Money_Morning
Larry D. Spears writes:
If you bought gold at any time during the first 10 months of 2010, you're sitting on some pretty healthy profits.
And thanks to renewed inflation fears and the growing unrest in Egypt, Libya and other Middle Eastern nations, most forecasters believe the "yellow metal" still has lots of room to run.

China Adviser, Buy Gold Bullion with Nearly $3 Trillion Chinese Reserves / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: GoldCore
Renewed fears over eurozone debt have seen the euro fall against most currencies and precious metals today. The yield on Greek 10-year bonds is approaching an alarming 13% after jumping to a new record high of 12.89% today (see bond charts below). The Portuguese 10-year rose to a new record high of 7.7% ahead of today’s auction where they borrowed 1 billion euros in order to avoid a “bailout”.

Commodity markets also followed the trend and witnessed highs; Brent traded above US$115 a barrel while gold continues as a safe haven for investors with prices above $1400 per ounce. Apart from geopolitical speculations, precious metals have influenced by currency and stock market moves.

By: Jeff_Clark

Throw in the supply and demand imbalance, and you've got the basic arguments for why one should hold gold for the foreseeable future.
