By: The_Gold_Report

Consistently ranked as one of the top-10 gold and precious metals mining analysts in Canada, Capital Research's Senior Vice President and Director Barry Allan offers a well-rounded perspective on the mining sector that combines geological fieldwork, equity research and finance.

Gauging the Turn in Dollar, Gold & Crude Oil / Commodities / Financial Markets 2009

By: Ashraf_Laidi

The FOMC announcement of March 18, December 16 and September 16 each produced an interventionist surprise at the expense of the dollar. But unlike in the announcements of Sep 16 (AIG bailout) and Dec 16 (Fed's surprising zero interest rate announcement), Wednesday's announcement to buy long term treasuries and expand the purchase of MBS and Agency securities may continue to extend the dollar's retreat, beyond just a few days.

Impressive Relative Strength for Commodity Index DBC ETF / Commodities / CRB Index

By: Mike_Paulenoff

The PowerShares DB Commodity Index ETF (AMEX: DBC) is exhibiting impressive relative strength this morning after two powerful up-days. Let’s notice so far this morning that the price range fits inside of yesterday’s high at 21.03, which if hurdled should trigger upside acceleration to 21.40/60 next. If such a move unfolds, the DBC will be on its way to a 20% upmove so far this month of March – in the aftermath of its 60+% decline since July 2009. My intermediate-term work points to a target zone of 24.80-25.30 prior to the conclusion of this leg of a multi-month recovery period.

Gold New Upleg as Lunatic Fed Creates $1 Trillion Dollars Out of Thin Air / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009

By: Zeal_LLC

After gold's breathtaking $38 surge in 15 minutes Wednesday, there is much renewed interest in the Ancient Metal of Kings.

This degree of pure monetary inflation is utterly unprecedented.

How to Profit From the Gold Price Inflation / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009

By: Money_Morning

Martin Hutchinson writes: I have written a number of times in the last few months that gold and mining shares look attractive. While the metal had a big run-up in price during the three-month stretch that ended in late February, the yellow metal has subsequently dropped back a bit, as have the prices of the leading mining shares. If anything, however, the reasons for gold bullishness have intensified.

Gold to Soar as the U.S. Dollar and then Treasury Bonds Collapse / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009

By: Clive_Maund

You may have heard the old saying that "the Market is the news", and it is true. You don't have to look for explanations regarding yesterday's response by the markets to the Fed's announcement that it will buy $300 billion of Treasuries, you only have to look at the reaction of the markets. The dollar index tanked by nearly 3% - it's biggest drop for over 2 decades. That alone tells you all that you need to know.

What Gold GLD Needs to Hurdle Over / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009

By: Mike_Paulenoff

My near-term work indicates that if the SPDR Gold Shares (NYSE: GLD) can hurdle and sustain above 94.40/50, we should expect upside continuation to 97.00 before a meaningful correction occurs. Conversely, inability to hurdle and sustain 94.40/50 will argue for a pullback that retests yesterday's upside breakout plateau at 92.50/00. Only a break of 91.80 will begin to compromise the still very bullish near-term technical set-up.

Gold About to Burst Out of Its Recent Trading Range / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009

By: Money_and_Markets

Sean Brodrick writes: My friend Kevin just regaled me with a story about his trip to the mall — a guy was there handing out plastic bags for people to use to turn in their gold for cash. “Holy cow!” Kevin said. “It was like a mobile pawn shop.”

Kevin resisted the urge to run home, find his gold and sell it to the plastic-bagger at the mall. You see, Kevin is a smart cookie and knows a thing or two about gold. He's a buyer, not a seller, of gold coins.

Investing 2009: Brace for Spring Meltdown, Unpredictable Summer and Ferocious Fall / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009

By: The_Gold_Report

Last October, while the shock waves of the largest bankruptcy filing in U.S. history still reverberated around the world, Trader Tracks Editor Roger Wiegand shared some thoughts with The Gold Report. In what has turned out to be an eerie understatement, he told us, “The American public herd is moving beyond being just nervous. Now they are getting scared. There is real fear in the air with inflation, massive job cuts and a drumbeat of bad news.” Not quite six months later—when many of his peers say the worst is behind us after all, the Dow regained 11% in roughly three days last week—Roger is among those waiting for the other proverbial shoe(s) to drop.

Gold and Gold Stocks Behaviour During Deflation and Inflation / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009

By: Jordan_Roy_Byrne

I've heard more than a few pundits question an investment in gold or gold stocks in the current environment. They point to deflation and the lack of inflation in the foreseeable future as reasons why precious metals should be avoided. Sounds intelligent on the surface but it reveals to this analyst, a lack of any thought and analysis.
