Gold, Big Move Coming / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009

By: Puru_Saxena

It looks as though the multi-month correction in precious metals is coming to an end and very soon, we are going to get a major move.  If the bull-market is still intact, then gold should break above US$1,000 per ounce within a few weeks.  However, if the price of gold fails to do this, we could see a sharp decline in bullion and precious metals mining stocks.  Put simply, if the price of gold fails to climb past US$1,000 per ounce and instead, it falls below US$920 per ounce, it will be a negative omen.  At that point, our suggestion would be to immediately sell precious metals and related stocks.

Gold and China's Savings Glut, Galloping Consumption Part2 / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009

By: Adrian_Ash

"Gold still has a strong financial nature and remains an indispensable investment tool..." - Dr. Zhou Xiaochuan, governor of the People's Bank of China, writing in the LBMA's Alchemist magazine, Nov. 2004

CHINA IS A FARAWAY COUNTRY of which we know little. The Isle of Wight, on the other hand, is a small island two miles off England's south coast where my mother-in-law lives.

Crude Oil Stalls Again Above $70 / Commodities / Crude Oil

By: LiveCharts

Oil continues to find a ceiling above the $70 per barrel price point as there has proven to be no major catalyst to push the price of the commodity above $75 in the near term. Benchmark crude oil was actually up about 60 cents Wednesday (September 1) morning after reports on inventory levels showed a drop in reserves, suggesting a possible increase in demand.

Robert Prechter and What's Behind Moves In Gold? / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009

By: Mike_Shedlock

In response to How Will China Handle The Yuan? I received many emails regarding a single statement I made: "Prechter, who does not view gold as money, thinks gold will collapse. Thus, not all deflationists think alike."

The first half of that statement "Prechter, who does not view gold as money" is an inaccurate representation of Prechter's views.

Gold and Silver Put in Robust Showing Despite Dollar Strength / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009

By: GoldCore

Despite a firmer dollar in yesterday's trading, gold maintained its robust showing of the last few days and finished the day slightly higher. It is trading at a resistance level of $955/oz today. With equity weakness still very much to the fore, a sustained push for that all important, psychological level of $1,000/oz and beyond on safe haven demand seems likely in the coming weeks.

Still Eyeing $1,200 Gold in 2009 / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009

By: The_Gold_Report

Bullish on gold since it carried a $400-per-ounce price tag, Blue Phoenix Chief Investment Strategist John Licata expects the king of metals to ring in the New Year with a $1,200-per-ounce crown. As he told The Gold Report in April, he still considers gold one of the best asset plays in the world. With recovery on the horizon, he's also high on silver—in part because a pickup in manufacturing will drive up demand. While he says it's premature to claim economic recovery, he isn't looking to copper to serve as the traditional harbinger of a return from recession this time. His rationale? Good economic news—while too inconsistent to make recovery imminent—is already baked in to copper's climb already this year.

We’re heading into September next week, so it’s a good time to revisit the historic seasonality of gold and gold stocks.

Over the past four decades, September has been the best time for gold in terms of its month-over-month price appreciation. You can see this on the chart below – in a typical year, the price of gold in September rises 2.5 percent above its August price.

Rare Double-play Opportunity in Crude Oil, Gold and Commodities / Commodities / Resources Investing

By: Money_and_Markets

Larry Edelson writes: Truth be told, I’m even more bullish now on gold, oil and other natural resources than I was when I nailed the start of the massive bull market in commodities nine years ago, in the middle of the year 2000 — before gold prices tripled and before oil rocketed up some 1,030 percent from $13 per barrel to its all-time high of $147.

Gold Growing Expectations of a Break Above $1000 / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009

By: GoldCore

Gold is currently trading at $954/oz after finishing higher last week which was important technically. Gold is looking to close the month of August with a monthly higher close (July 31st close $953.75/oz) but the shorts will as ever be attempting to paint the tape. Expectations for gold to break above resistance at $1,000/oz in the coming months are growing and any dips are expected to be bought.

By: Bill_Downey

The seasonal factor for the gold market is due to turn up in the month of September.  But we want to ask ourselves, WHAT needs to happen for it to kick in?   Well, certainly the psychology has to be there.  More importantly however, demand must be there. And what is the most likely demand factor this time of year?   Christmas & holidays and India's wedding season.

Is the Stock Market Overbought What Does it Mean for Gold and Silver? / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009

By: Przemyslaw_Radomski

I have to confess to a love affair that goes back a long ways with that exciting, hyper-volatile metal-- silver.

This week The Wall Street Journal reported that silver has enjoyed greater price gains than gold so far in 2009.  The Journal noted that silver often follows gold, although sometimes with greater moves since it is a less-active market and thus more prone to volatile price swings. Naturally, silver’s stillness is limited to many consolidation periods, and to the early parts of a particular upleg. When silver finally does move near the end of a rally, the move is likely to be substantial. So far in 2009, December silver futures have risen 26%, while December gold is up 6%, the Journal reported.
