OPEC Oil Deal Already Showing Signs of Stress / Commodities / Crude Oil
By: AnyOption
Even though Saudi Arabia was quick to proclaim a victory at the outset of the year after reducing its own oil production to levels agreed upon in Vienna, there are numerous threats to the outlook for crude prices. Despite claims that the move to reduce OPEC output will be enough to drain the approximate 300 million barrels in global oversupply within six months, a move by the Cartel and non-OPEC members to ramp up production afterwards could beckon the resurgence of global oversupply.

New Oil Drilling Technology Will Soon Spark an Explosion of Oil Stocks Sector / Commodities / Oil Companies
By: John_Mauldin
Energy stocks have been tearing higher since the election on bets that the Trump administration will relax environmental restrictions and open more federal lands to oil and gas drilling. Crude oil’s staying north of $50 hasn’t hurt, either.
It is up there in part because OPEC threw in the towel and agreed to production limits. Unfortunately for OPEC, those limits don’t apply to US and Canadian shale producers. And the history of OPEC is that they all cheat like crazy, anyway.

Big Gold Buying Coming 2017 / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2017
By: Zeal_LLC
Gold has hit the ground running in this young new year, a stark contrast to its brutal post-election selloff. Rather remarkably, these strong recent gains accrued despite literally zero buying from one of gold’s most-important constituencies. The American stock investors who almost single-handedly fueled gold’s strong bull market last year are still missing in action since the election. That means big gold buying is still coming.
All free-market prices, including gold’s, ultimately result from the balance between popular supply and demand. When supply outweighs demand as evidenced by investment-capital outflows, gold is forced lower. That’s exactly what happened after Trump’s surprise win in early November. When investors flee gold for any reason, including chasing record-high stock markets, the resulting oversupply really hits prices.

A Bullish Case for Gold 2017 / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2017
By: David_Galland
Dear Parader,
This week, I am happy to present an article by dear friend and business partner Olivier Garret, who makes the case for gold under President Trump.
While Olivier is biased, given he founded the Hard Assets Alliance, I think you’ll find his logic is sound.
My personal concern remains the strength of the US dollar. “The Super-Dollar” is the lead story in the current edition of Compelling Investments Quantified, our premium—and very profitable—monthly investment letter.

By: Jeff_Berwick

Quietly, however, gold and silver have gotten off to an excellent start to the year.
Gold began the year at $1,154 and has rarely looked back, rising to over $1,200 on Thursday.

By: Arkadiusz_Sieron
Predicting, especially the future, is very difficult. Still, let’s try to figure out what investors should expect from the gold market next year. For sure, in the long run, the price of gold will mainly depend on the U.S. dollar, the real interest rates, and the market uncertainty. How will these factors develop and affect the gold market?

Crude Oil Prices Running Out Of Reasons To Rally / Commodities / Crude Oil
By: OilPrice_Com
Oil prices faltered at the start of the second week of the year, as fears set in about a rapid rebound in U.S. shale production. For the better part of two months, optimism surrounding the OPEC deal has buoyed oil prices, but bullish sentiment from speculators are showing early signs of abating, raising the possibility that the oil rally is running out of steam.

Gold Is Cheap Insurance No Matter What the Fed Will Do / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2017
By: David_Galland
By Olivier Garret : Gold prices have dropped from $1,340 an ounce in September to around $1,130 as of this writing. The cause is the strengthening USD and the recent rally in the US stock market that followed Trump’s surprise victory.
Plus, most people now expect at least a few rate hikes by the Fed. Gold rarely fares well in a rising real rates environment. Many investors wonder if gold has entered a lasting bear market. Or if this is the time to buy while prices are low.

Gold Prices Are Being Hacked / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2017
By: MoneyMetals
By Clint Siegner : Major U.S. and international banks cheat their customers and rig markets. Revelations have been piling up since the 2008 financial crisis. Hundreds of billions have been paid in fines, penalties, and settlements. The fraud, price manipulation, lying, and theft – once considered conspiracy theories – are now incontrovertible conspiracy facts.
