The Next Silver Bull Market May Have Already Started / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis
There are fundamentals. And then there is legalized betting, ultimately backed by you, the tax payer. Otherwise known as speculative trades. Modern day commodity prices are determined by the latter, rather than by the result of trading based on the former.

Silver – More Evidence of a Price Bottom / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: DeviantInvestor
Silver prices hit a low of about $14.33 on July 24 after High Frequency Traders had run stops that week. It has happened before and will again. Occasionally they will run stops going up, not down. The gold to silver ratio has been hovering around 75.
That ratio has a long history of volatility. The ratio is high when silver prices are low and as silver prices push higher, the ratio drops. Note the graph of the gold to silver ratio using weekly data for ten years.

Precious Metals Microcosm Expanding / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: Gary_Tanashian
NFTRH 353 introduced the idea of a Macrocosm, a planetary representation of elements that need to come into place for a real investment stance on the gold stock sector (as opposed to the imagined elements cooked up by perma-bulls over the last few years). The Macrocosm idea came to me when the gold sector was acting firmly counter-cyclical on a day that most other markets were suffering. Then it happened again.

Did China Kick-Start A New Bull Market In Gold? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: SecularInvestor
Many have written about the devaluation of the Chinese currency last week, in particular its causes and consequences.
In mainstream media, most opinions are centered around the weakness of the Chinese economy which is now growing less than 7%. Logically, they argue, China wants to stimulate exports and stabilize the currency by ‘de-pegging’ it from a strengthening dollar.

Druckenmiller Buys A Lot Of Gold / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: GoldCore
Stan Druckenmiller is going big on gold.
Druckenmiller is one of the world’s most successful and respected traders. As a hedge fund manager from 1986 to 2010, he generated an incredible average annual return of 30%.
Druckenmiller was also George Soros’s right-hand man at Quantum, Soros’s famed hedge fund. Quantum’s now legendary 1992 trade shorting the British pound was Druckenmiller’s idea. It made Quantum about $1 billion. People say the trade “broke the Bank of England.”

Gold Golden Opportunity or Gold-Plated Trap? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: Ed_Carlson
Gold broke out of a small pennant formation on the daily chart last week and gained $18.80/oz. to close the week at $1,112.90. On the weekly chart gold printed an engulfing bullish candlestick. The breakout above 1,100 is bullish but the real test will be a breakout above 1,140. For now, the daily Coppock Curve is rising and has a ways to go before it will signal a top in gold. Cycles point to an important low during July and a rally for all of August. Seasonally, August is very bullish for gold.

Gold, No Interest! / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: Dan_Norcini
Stronger than expected US retail sales data undercut some of the recent safe haven trades ( buying bonds, the yen and gold) sending all three lower in today’s session.
For the first two weeks of August, retails sales are up 1.7% versus a year ago and up 0.3% from July.
That got the “Fed is going to hike in September” talk starting up once more which of course send the Dollar higher and most commodities lower.

The Coming Silver Price Rally Will Outperform All Previous Ones / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: Hubert_Moolman
The Gold/Silver Ratio (GSR) is a key indicator in the analysis of the silver and gold markets. This ratio (or chart of the ratio) is probably one of the most difficult to analyse. One has to take a real close look at the ratio in order to find what actually drives the ratio up or down.
For example, from about after the end of the Second World War to the early 70s there was an economic boom with the Dow rallying significantly during those years. During the same period the GSR actually kept falling significantly until it actually bottomed in 1968.

Gold And Silver Market Bottoming? Big Rally Imminent? Reality Check Says NO / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: Michael_Noonan
The developing events over the past few months are so varied, seemingly unrelated but are all tied in, just not in a cognitive manner that makes sense, and almost all them are based upon lies by one government after another, the worst offender being the US.
We find it hard to make a cohesive explanation as to their impact. This increasingly maze of events is mean to confuse, to deflect. It is a key element of the elites creating problems, reactions [usually confusion or panic by the masses], and offering solutions. Cyprus and Greece are similar examples. The Ukrainian coup by the US, sanctions against Russia that have so badly backfired. China an added part of the SDR, then maybe not. The list is much longer.

Gold and Silver Shaken, Not Stirred / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: Submissions
Chart Freak write: After a solid 5 day rally, gold sold off on Thursday, and the precious metals miners were sold-off indescriminetly. Both GDX and GDXJ were down almost 6%, leading many to be shaken out of position on the pullback. For me, these events are expected and become opportunities, so lets examine the charts to see why.

Gold and Silver Offer The Most Profitable Secular Opportunity Today / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: GoldSilverWorlds
July was a horrible month for precious metals prices. Sentiment reached levels never seen before. As metals and the miners broke through a long term support line, so did pessimism.
To get an idea of the level of pessimism, we are including a very long term chart going back to 1992 (courtesy of Sentimentrader). As readers can see, market sentiment in the last 2 years is worse than the bear market lows of 1998 – 2000.

Desolation Row: The Silver Market / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: DeviantInvestor
Silver peaked in 1980 and then crashed into “Silver Desolation Row” in 1999 – 2001, like now.
The 1970s decade was the time for commodity price increases and inflation. The 1980s and 1990s saw a preference for paper assets and stocks, while commodities, gold, and silver prices collapsed.

Gold Price at a Crossroads / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: Dan_Norcini
Gold has had a nice run off the Chinese yuan devaluation news with short covering the dominant reason behind the buying.
Markets that have a decent sized speculative short position are always subject to bouts of sharp price rises as shorts scurry for cover. The question is not whether or not shorts are covering - they are. The question is, "Are there large numbers of specs who are willing and eager to assume NEW LONG positions?"

Gold & Silver Correlations for August 2015 / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: Mike_McAra
Correlation seems almost like a magical word. In fact, most people don’t have to use this term more often than a couple of times a year. In the world of investing, however, correlation is an important concept which has to do with how different assets move in relation to one another. Before we even dive into what correlation means in the world of statistics, we’ll focus on the intuition behind it.

U.S. and Canadian Mint Dysfunction Snowballs as Silver Coin Premiums Rise / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: Submissions
Clint Siegner writes: Lower precious metals prices on Wall Street aren't necessarily bringing lower prices on Main Street.
The retail market for gold and silver coins, bars, and rounds has been swamped with high demand since mid June. Both the U.S. Mint and the Royal Canadian Mint continue to run into serious issues keeping up with retail silver coin demand.
