Heavy Gold and Silver Shorting is Bullish / / Gold and Silver 2014
By: Zeal_LLC
Gold and silver have been pounded lower over the past month, contrary to their bullish seasonals. This selling pressure has come from the usual suspects, American futures speculators. They’ve been busy aggressively dumping gold and silver futures, particularly on the short side. But each time they pressed this bet in the past 15 months, gold soon surged higher. Shorts are bullish since they must soon be covered.
Gold suffered its worst quarter in 93 years in 2013’s second quarter, a nauseating 22.8% loss. This was triggered by the Fed’s stock-market levitation, which sucked vast amounts of capital out of alternative investments. Gold plunged early in that catastrophic quarter when major support failed, and again later on Ben Bernanke’s initial QE3-taper scare. This naturally left gold sentiment overwhelmingly bearish.

Strong U.S. Dollar Undermines Gold and Silver / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: Alasdair_Macleod
Precious metals have had to endure a week of gathering dollar strength, which is at least partly the result of problems specific to the euro, yen and sterling. The result is gold has fallen a further $30 over the week, and silver by about $0.70c. The first chart is of gold and open interest on Comex.

Will The Real Silver Commercials Stand Up? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis
One of the more persistent flaws in the world's most important price discovery mechanism comes down to a simple question. How did it come to pass that banks were given access to the commercial category of traders?
It's a given that the market is rigged to high heaven. And it’s completely obvious by now how it is accomplished. They only folks left in denial about it have a direct incentive for ignoring it - usually an obvious one.

Gold Bugs Shifting Sentiment / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: Gary_Tanashian
Warning… Condescension ensues… NFTRH 307’s opening segment, dated 9.7.14:
From a post on the HUI at the site last week:
“There are worse things that could happen than filling a gap and scattering the wrong kind of gold bugs back out. Then it would be up to the longer-term charts to do the heavy lifting if the daily does fulfill this downside potential.”

Strong U.S. Dollar Weakens September Gold Price / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: Frank_Holmes
Last week I wrote about the historic correlation between the month of September and the strength of gold. Now it appears that this September might be shaping up as one not to remember but forget.
Based on data reaching back to 1969, gold rises 2.1 percent on average in September. Ten days into this year's month, however, the precious metal has lost 2.6 percent, slipping from $1,288 to $1,254.

The Price Of Gold And The Art Of War Part I / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: Darryl_R_Schoon
If you wait by the river long enough, the bodies of your enemies will float by Sun Tzu, The Art of War, Fifth century BC
Only fools and the ideologically impaired believe that today’s capital markets are free. In free markets, prices are determined by supply and demand. In capital markets, supply and demand considerations are subordinated to capitalism’s increasingly dysfunctional monetary menses, i.e. credit flows, emanating from central banks. Of all markets, today’s gold markets are the least free.

Macro Factors Dominating Gold Price As US Dollar Outweighs Physical Demand And Investor Flows / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: GoldCore
With gold trading in a narrow range below $1,300 and remaining relatively weak, it is worth pausing at this juncture to look at the combination of factors that are affecting its price formation.
A current snapshot of the world gold market and its near term outlook can be gauged by examining four sets of influences on the market, namely the macro/geopolitical environment, investment demand flows, physical demand in the major markets (using India as an example), and finally the technical picture.

Gold and Silver Potential Price Meltdown Scenario / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: Rambus_Chartology
I believe last week marked an important turning point for the precious metals stocks. After two months of chopping in a tight trading range GDM, which I'm going to us as a proxy for the big cap precious metals stocks, finally broke below the critical brown shaded support and resistance zone. This was a big deal for me as now all those bottoms that had been holding support should now offer important resistance on any backtest.

Gold Price at $1,500 by Christmas? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: The_Gold_Report
Gold and silver prices are being repressed by central banks, but Sprott Asset Management's Charles Oliver argues that demand pressure will cause this dam to burst sooner rather than later. As a result, he expects big increases in the prices of gold and especially silver, with a corresponding recovery of small- and mid-cap precious metal equities. In this interview with The Gold Report, Oliver discusses several companies likely to prosper thereby, most of which will be profitable now, even at current bullion prices.
The Gold Report: Gold continues to languish under $1,300 per ounce ($1,300/oz), even as full economic recoveries in the U.S. and the European Union (EU) have yet to occur, despite trillions in new debt and stimulus. Meanwhile, we have two wars in the Middle East that could escalate, as well as reports that Russian troops are in Ukraine. With all that in mind, do you think that gold's fundamentals are less important than they once were, or is the price of gold being held back by other factors?

Gold and Silver Stuck Inside of the CME with the COMEX Blues Again / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis
Precious metals prices remain range-bound over the short-term after a devastating three year run.From a technical standpoint, it doesn't look great; we are stuck in this limbo of tightly controlled price limbo while the world continues to melt apart for the 99.9%.

Gold and Silver Price Ready To Go BOOM / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: Austin_Galt
The wait for the next leg up in both gold and silver has been excruciating. Many bulls are losing hope and the number of bears appears to be increasing. As for me, I remain rock solid. I hold long silver positions and I must say I am not worried one iota. Of course I could be wrong. I seriously doubt it though. Let's see why.

Gold And Silver New World Order of Deceit, Debt, and War. PMs A Casualty / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: Michael_Noonan
[Last week, we said, "Next week, we will cover a brief history, a track record of the Rothschild banking dynasty that has controlled all Western countries for a few centuries." See Elite's NWO Losing Traction. Expect [More] War, at least as it pertains to the US.]
If you want to know why your holdings of physical gold and silver have remained under suppression, it is because both are anathema to paper fiat currencies, and the ones who are in control, the moneychangers, will not tolerate competition against their fiat Ponzi monopoly scheme. Not until the elite bankers lose control of the fiat US "dollar" can you expect to see dramatic price increases for gold and silver, irrespective of any and all fundamentals and more widely recognized efforts of manipulation.

The Truth About Where Gold Price Is Headed / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: Chris_Vermeulen
I will be honest, it has been a long time since I have been excited about gold, but I am starting to like gold once again. I had grown too bored to care what gold did. With the bull market top in 2011, and four years later price continues to founder can you blame me?
Let me start out by painting a picture for you. This is my technical analysis overlaid on the price of gold. This simply gives you a visual of were the price of gold is trading.

The Great Silver Price Subsidization / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis
Understanding precious metal price reality is like walking through a house of mirrors.
I spend a lot of time examining eyeballs. The magnification required to focus light on the retina is very strong. This causes an inverted image.
What I see in the lower right of my view is actually the upper left area of the patient's eye.

Short-Sellers Driving Gold and Silver Prices / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: Alasdair_Macleod
Gold and silver had a bad week, with gold falling $25 to a low of $1262 by the Comex close yesterday, and silver by $0.50. This morning UK-time prices opened a little better on overnight physical demand, no doubt stimulated by those lower prices. The background to this poor performance was dollar strength relative to weak currencies, with the yen, euro and pound all declining sharply.

Gold, Silver Market Strong Reversal Augurs for Rough September / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: Jordan_Roy_Byrne
In recent weeks we wrote about the ongoing consolidation in precious metals miners. We touched on the history of September, not as a bullish month but as an important inflection point. With the miners holding up well and Gold still holding its lows we thought a breakout could be coming. Yet we've been whipsawed before. Several times over the past year (and as recently as late July) we've written about the possibility of a final low in Gold to precede the next impulsive advance in the miners. These scenarios came to a major head this week and the nasty decline across the entire sector suggests the bears are back for one last time.

Remember, Remember, Gold in September / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: Frank_Holmes
In American poet W. S. Merwin’s poem “To the Light of September,” the speaker calls the ninth month “still summer,” yet with a “glint of bronze in the chill mornings.” I agree—to an extent. Here in San Antonio, Texas, home of U.S. Global Investors, we’re most definitely still in the summer season. But in the investing world, when we talk about September, there’s a glint not of bronze but another precious metal: gold.

Gold Model Projects Prices From 1971 – 2021 / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: DeviantInvestor
Gold persistently rallied from 2001 to August 2011. Since then it has fallen rather hard, down nearly 40% at one point, but it currently looks ready to rally for the balance of this decade.
WHY SHOULD WE EXPECT THAT GOLD WILL RALLY?
The answer, in my opinion, can be found in my gold pricing model that has accurately replicated AVERAGE gold prices after the noise of politics, news, high frequency trading, and day to day “management” have been removed by smoothing.

Gold and Silver Price False Break Lows? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: Austin_Galt
Both gold and silver have embarked on early week moves down. These moves reek of attempts to flush out the weak hands. Many of those bulls still remaining would surely have a good case of the heebie jeebies right about now. While I am also a bull, currently holding long silver positions, I have found the move less intimidating as I was expecting these downmoves. Although I must admit to getting a slight twitch come the end of trading on Tuesday! Let's investigate.
