Gold Solid Bull Market Uptrend in 2009 / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: Julian_DW_Phillips
Money authorities around the world will not stop stimulating economies, printing money and doing whatever it takes until growth and confidence are restored to the bright days prior to July 2009. And this will be done even if the cost is high inflation, for better inflation than savage deflation! Read full article... Read full article...

Gold Heading for $2000 in 2009 / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: Mark_OByrne
Both gold and silver fell slightly yesterday as the dollar and stock markets rallied on renewed increasing risk appetite. Euro gold and British pound gold remained near record highs of €628 and £532.
Gold has traded sideways in Asian and early European trading despite the horrendous terrorist attacks in India. Unfortunately, they show that the world remains very unstable and that geopolitical risk remains ever present.

Silver Production Falls by 70%? / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: David_Morgan
This headline should grab anyone's attention, especially those interested in the silver market. Before going forward, let me explain that fully 70% of silver is produced as a result of mining other metals, mostly base metals. Copper mining, for example, is responsible for 28% of the silver mined in 2007. Lead/Zinc mining yielded 32% of the silver mined in 2007. Finally, gold mining brought about 10% of the silver mined, again in 2007. All data is from GFMS World Silver Survey 2008, page 31. Read full article... Read full article...

Financial Mayhem to Fuel Gold’s Next Surge? / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: Money_and_Markets
Last week, I wrote about how our oil-rich friends in the Middle East are buying gold hand over fist. It turns out they're not the only ones. The latest figures from the World Gold Council show a frenzy of activity in the most recent quarter.
And gold ended last week with a bullish move to the upside that set off “buy” alarm bells for technical traders around the world.

Gold Strong Bull Market in Pounds and Euro / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: Mark_OByrne
Gold was largely unchanged yesterday after rallying to as high as $830 and has traded sideways in Asian and early European trading.
Open interest levels in gold and silver on the COMEX have fallen to extremely low levels showing that nearly all the speculative froth has been liquidated and remaining longs are "strong hands". The gold open interest fell a very sharp 5533 contracts to 282,978 which is a new low and low levels such as these usually portend lows in the gold price and subsequent rallies.

Gold Price Set to Explode Higher on Surging Monetary Inflation / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: Jim_Willie_CB
The OMEN for a powerful shift in the gold market in my playful mind was the very real earthquake on November 18 here in Costa Rica, a clear signal from the financial gods, no minor tremor, measured at 6.0 on the Richter scale. The tremor confirmed the tectonic shifts to come to the gold market without question. This was the biggest earthquake in my life, no damage at all though, roof and toys intact. Numerous stories testify in aggregate to a severe tightening of the physical market, certain to put pressure on the corrupt paper market managed by the COMEX and its parent NYMEX.

Investors Dump U.S. Dollars and Fiat Currencies For Gold / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: Ned_W_Schmidt
The superiority of returns on Gold to investors over the miserable returns on paper equities would seem at some point to become an embarrassment to the purveyors of Stock Certificates of Negative Return. While US$Gold is down from the high, so many other investors, living in other currencies, around the world have witnessed their Gold trading at all time highs. And now the message of financial salvation is spreading further. Stories of shortages of Gold coins are now widespread. Public participation in a market is sign of Wave V, which now may be unfolding.Read full article... Read full article...

A Good Day for Gold and Stock Markets / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: Mark_OByrne
Gold has given up some of yesterday’s and the last four days gains. Profit taking seems the most likely explanation as the dollar remain largely flat but the weakness in oil may be contributing to gold’s weakness. Continuing unprecedented volatility in markets is leading to further safe haven demand.Read full article... Read full article...

Gold Bullish Breakout as Bull Market Resumes / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: INO
It has been a difficult time for gold bugs for the past two months as gold has been trapped in a broad trading range which made it seem insulated and immune to all of the financial chaos around it. Today's action on Friday the 21st, put all of that in action to rest as gold soared to trade over the $800 in a matter of hours. This may be the move we've been looking for and coming from a two-month base, it seems large enough to propel this market higher. Read full article... Read full article...

Gold Smashes Through Resistance / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: Mark_OByrne
In a remarkable week for the yellow metal, strong resistance at $770 last Monday may now be the level of support as Gold rallied on Friday, finishing up $50 on the day, 6% on the week. It is currently trading at $822 (1230 GMT) and a sustained move above $800 could signal an upswing towards the $850 level, again confirming Gold's safe haven demand as stock markets continued to fall sharply amid continuing woes in the US financial sector (as graphically illustrated by Citigroup). Silver could also be about to make a move to the upside. It has been in a downward trendline since the summer but traded up to it that line on Friday and above the trendline today. Silver is currently trading at $10.02 and a close above $9.50 today could be very positive for the price.

Gold Upside Breakout Projects to $930 / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: Merv_Burak
WOW! Friday was the best day since mid-Sept. We could use more of them but the Mid-Sept one didn't go very far so I wonder if this one will. One day does not make a reversal. I'd like to see many $10 up days rather than one $50 day. Read full article... Read full article...
