Gold Price $250 Forecast - Dear Harry Dent: Wanna Bet? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: Jeff_Clark
Some of you may be aware that investment guru Harry Dent has publicly stated that gold will fall to $250-$400. He specifically predicted:
Around $700/ounce is a certainty in gold by 2015 to 2016, and $250 is a possibility well down the line by 2020–2023.
His forecast is largely based on his belief that deflation will prevail.
Governments are fighting deflation. If government stimulus fails, we will have deflation, not inflation.

Global Insecurity Is Good for Gold / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: The_Gold_Report
International anxiety may be good for gold prices, as gold continues to have a place as a store of value in uncertain times, says Mike Niehuser of Scarsdale Securities. Lower energy prices and a stronger dollar may provide relief for precious metal miners, especially explorers and miners working outside the United States. Management teams that have been forced to adapt to survive should do well in an upturn, and in this interview with The Gold Report, Niehuser discusses a handful of companies that fit the bill, including one in renewable energy.
The Gold Report: Gold and silver have both demonstrated explosive growth in 2015. Why has this happened, and will it continue?

Strong US Dollar Sets Gold and Sliver Markets Tone / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: Alasdair_Macleod
This week the US dollar moved strongly upwards against the other major currencies, at the same time weakening gold and silver along with most industrial commodities, before some profit-taking set in yesterday. The effect on precious metals is a change from previous weeks when a flight into dollars also supported gold and silver prices. Instead, gold and silver were noticeably weak until this morning, when prices recovered $8 and $0.13c respectively in early London trading. So what’s changed?

By: MarketsToday
Gold (XAU/USD) declined as much as 6.9% recently, after hitting a swing high of 1,307.6 three weeks ago. That high was right in the area of the 127% AB=CD extension (1,302.8), and the 78.6% retracement (1,299.7) of the downtrend measured from the 1,345.3 peak.

Is Gold Price Pullback Another Buying Opportunity? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: Sy_Harding
There are reasons in the technical charts, in the fundamentals, and in investor sentiment, to believe gold is ready for at least a tradable bear market rally.
In a January column, I noted that gold plunged 48% from its record high above $1,900 an ounce in 2011, to its low late last year, and was one of last year’s worst performers, down 15% for the year.

Gold Price and Fed Interest Rate Hikes / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: Zeal_LLC
Gold’s sharp early-year surge has fizzled in recent weeks as investment demand faded. The primary reason is the universal belief that the Fed’s upcoming rate hikes are very bearish for gold. Higher rates will make zero-yielding gold relatively less attractive, argues this popular thesis. But history proves just the opposite. Gold actually thrives in rising- and higher-rate environments, so rate hikes are nothing to fear.
This notion definitely seems counterintuitive today. When the Fed finally begins letting interest rates start to normalize after actively suppressing them for years on end, yields on bonds and cash in the form of money-market funds will rise. That will make these asset classes more appealing to investors. So they will migrate out of gold, which yields nothing, into the new higher-yielding bonds and money-market funds.

Gold and Silver Currency Wars / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: Jesse
"As a delaying tactic, U.S. foreign exchange operations were often successful. They raised the potential costs of speculation and provided cover for unwanted, temporary, and ultimately reversible dollar flows. They delayed the drain of the U.S. gold stock. But to the extent that these devises substituted for more fundamental and necessary adjustments and postponed the inevitable collapse of Bretton Woods, they were a failure."

Gold In A Negative Interest Rate World / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: John_Rubino
Global capital is looking for a place to hide. But after decades of enthusiastic currency creation and financial engineering, there’s way too much of it for any one country to accommodate. This mismatch between money knocking at the door and available space is leading the handful of remaining safe havens to put up “no vacancy” signs in order to avoid being swamped. Among the things they’re trying is negative interest rates. That is, if you want to deposit money in a Swiss or Danish bank or lend money to the Japanese or German governments you now have to pay them for the privilege.

Financial Repression Investing: Got Gold? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: Axel_Merk
Gone are the ZIRP days - the 'Zero Interest Rate Policy' is being replaced by negative interest rates in various countries. ZIRP is a form of financial repression, where savers earn less than the inflation rate to discourage saving. Pundits suggest the U.S. has chosen a different course, as 'liftoff' may soon take U.S. rates higher. We'll try to separate reality from fiction, discussing investment implications for the U.S. dollar and gold.

Gold Price Consolidation Continues / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: Alasdair_Macleod
This week precious metals continued to consolidate January's gains in volatile financial markets, with both gold and silver range-bound. Platinum and palladium are up on the week, noticeably stronger than gold and silver. Physical and paper markets appear to have been behaving differently, with prices tending to be firm in London (where physical deliveries take place) and weaker in New York (which is overwhelmingly derivative trading), though at the close of trading in New York prices appeared more often than not to steady ahead of the Asian markets opening.

Gold And Silver – Forget The News. Silver $12 – 14? Gold $1,000 – 1,100? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: Michael_Noonan
How are all them facts and figures about gold/silver accumulation by China, Russia,
India, et al, shortages at the COMEX, LMBA for delivery of the [non-existent]physical
metal, drainage of GLD, unprecedented public demand for coins, accompanied by pretty
graphs and charts, working out?
Question – where are the results of all, and we mean all of the above considerations, and more? Have these factors [and they are legitimate], driven the price of gold and silver to unprecedented levels? If not unprecedented levels, have they driven the price of gold and silver to $1,400 and $25? If not, why not?

Gold Chartography 101 - The Case for Gold Ownership in Ten Charts / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: Michael_J_Kosares
... you will never see on CNBC.
"What's past is prologue." – William Shakespeare, The Tempest
These charts summarize gold's impressive performance during the tumultuous first fourteen years of the 21st century. Investors fearing some future Black Monday, a general bank or currency collapse, a 1930s-style economic depression, or a sudden and virulent inflation took precautions by purchasing gold coins and bullion as a form of portfolio insurance. Gold Chartography 101 is a record of that past. At the same time, though, it could very well be a glimpse of the future.

Is Russia Planning a Gold-Based Currency? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: MISES
Marcia Christoff-Kurapovna writes: The “perfect-storm” of geopolitical instability, diplomatic isolation, severe currency depreciation, and economic decline now confronting Russia has profoundly damaged Moscow's international standing, and possibly for the long-term. Yet, it is precisely such conditions that may push the country’s leadership into taking the radical step that will secure its world-player status once and for all: the adoption of a gold-exchange standard.
Though a far-fetched idea at first glance, many factors suggest that remonetization in gold may be a logical next step for Moscow.
