The Eurozone Wags the Gold and Silver Dog / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: J_W_Jones
If Greece defaults and the European situation begins to spin out of control where will money flow? It would not make sense for market participants to buy Euro’s during a default regardless of whether the default it structured or not. In fact, it is more likely that European central banks and businesses would be looking to either hedge their Euro exposure or convert their cash positions to another currency all together.

By: The_Gold_Report

What’s Going On With Gold? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Eric_McWhinnie
After a four-day losing streak, gold prices finally broke to the upside as the US dollar weakened. Early Friday morning, gold futures for December delivery gained $37 to reach $1,650. Meanwhile, silver futures climbed more than $1 to hit $31.50. Not only has Europe been keeping equities on edge, but also precious metals.

This recent strength has been one of the factors weighing on gold and silver prices.

Gold Bullish Outlook Remains Despite Declines / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Przemyslaw_Radomski
Whenever gold prices rise or decline the headlines give a flavor-of-the-week reason—the dollar is up, the dollar is down, the eurozone is in trouble, it’s the latest jobs report, etc. There is no doubt that global economic conditions are inter-related and that a “butterfly flapping its wings” in one part of the world can effect gold prices. This week was no exception. This week’s decline was partly explained by news out of China. The Chinese economy, the second largest in the world, expanded by only 9.1 per cent in the third quarter, down from 9.5 per cent in the second quarter and 9.7 per cent in the first three months of the year. This is a growth rate that all countries on the planet would give their eye teeth to find in their fortune cookie. But for China it was the slowest growth since 2009. This prompted fears that the world's economic engine will slow down eating into demand for exporting countries.

Gold Price Fundamental Trend Forecast 2012 / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Andrew_Butter
If the fundamental value of gold measured in US-Dollars wasn’t a mystery before; then the past few weeks have added another dimension to the confusion.
Supposedly gold is a “safe haven”, so when the rumors of Armageddon started circulating about the Euro, the price “ought” to have gone up? It didn’t, it went down…by 20%...so much for that theory. Is the latest story that the Euro-refugees figured the 10-Year Treasury was a better bet than gold…even after the downgrade?
