Silver – Caught Inside / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016
By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis
Most short term investors know better. At worst, silver is a survival story. At best it is an investment for the ages.
Some place in between it is an intermediate investment, albeit a very emotional and volatile one. Current financial conditions mandate survival as the primary focus. And the essence of financial survival is return of investment.

Gold Price Time For A Bounce, But Probably Not A Bottom Yet / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016
By: Gary_Savage
Sentiment got a little too bearish and price is bouncing off the 38% Fibonacci retracement. Ideally though I’d like to see one more lower low next week to break the cycle uptrend line before trying to call a bottom.
I’d like to see a bit more bearish sentiment and some panic selling. DCL’s should create fear and cause traders to think price is rolling over. That usually requires a trend line break to get technical traders on the wrong side of the market before price resumes the uptrend.

Did Oil Kill The Dinosaurs? / Commodities / Crude Oil
By: OilPrice_Com
What killed the dinosaurs? It's a question as old as – well the dinosaurs themselves, and one that everyone from school children to scientists have been asking for decades. Movies like Jurassic Park and the Land Before Time only heighten that sense of wonder and raise the stakes behind that question. Now according to a new scientific study, it seems that black gold may have been the source of the dinos' demise.Read full article... Read full article...

US Dollar's Rise Spells the End of Commodities' Run / Commodities / CRB Index
By: Donald_W_Dony
A steady stream of strengthening fundamentals are driving the U.S. dollar higher. Healthier data from jobs, consumer spending and housing have put a tailwind on the greenback.
Moreover, America's economy is outperforming the weaker economies aboard. And this is setting a backdrop for improved prospects for another rate hike in the months ahead.

By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis

Gold Daily Cycle Low Still Several Days Away / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016
By: Gary_Savage
Some analysts were expecting gold to form an early Daily Cycle Low. I’ve been warning that gold needs to break the cycle trend line before the DCL can bottom and to beware of a fake out. It turns out I was correct to be patient. I doubt gold will form the DCL until right before, or on the FOMC statement next week. More patience.

Why Lithium Will See Another Price Spike This Fall / Commodities / Lithium
By: OilPrice_Com
So far, lithium has been the hottest metal of 2016, beating out gold, with exponential demand expected over the coming years. Although the price trajectory of the metal has been subdued in recent months, the fundamentals behind the long-term trajectory suggest strong potential for long-term growth. Price doubling from 2014/2015 was first seen in China and is now being felt worldwide, with lithium hydroxide prices from $16-20 and carbonate prices from $12-14 thousand USD per ton.

The Peak Oil Paradox Revisited / Commodities / Crude Oil
By: Raul_I_Meijer
It’s been a while since we posted an article by our friend Euan Mearns, who was active at The Oil Drum at the same time Nicole and I were. Is it really 11 years ago that started, and almost 9 since we left? You know the drill: we ‘departed’ because they didn’t want us to cover finance, which we said was the more immediate crisis, yada yada. Euan stayed on for longer, and the once unequalled Oil Drum is no more.
On one of our long tours, which were based around Nicole’s brilliant public speaking engagements, we went to see Euan in Scotland, he teaches at Aberdeen University. I think it was 2011?! An honor. Anyway, always a friend.

Climbing Gold and Silver’s Wall of Worry / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016
By: MoneyMetals
Confidence is slippery, even when you are a metals investor sitting atop the best performing assets of 2016. It doesn’t help when 4 years of a miserable bear market remains fresh in our memories. Any weakness in prices and it can feel like markets are getting ready to plunge right back to $13 silver and $1,000 gold.
That feeling is called the “Wall of Worry”, and bulls are going to have to climb it by staying in the market even if their emotions are telling them to bail. Let’s review the last 6 weeks because they are quite instructional.

From Gold Chains for Men to Gold Reserves: Who has All of the Gold? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016
By: Submissions
Karus Chains writes: At Karus Chains we love to write about anything associated with gold chains for men and what could be more central to gold chains than gold itself.
So we asked the question- who owns most of the gold? Of course an open question like this will only throw up more questions.
Should we look at the countries that mine the most gold, or the countries that buy the most gold?

More Deflation Ahead: Silver, Gold And Their Mining Stocks A Must-Have / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2016
By: Hubert_Moolman
Are you ready for the next leg of deflation? Where the real pain will be felt (mainly) because the collapse of commodities and oil, in particular, will be accompanied by the collapse of the US stock market.
Due to the size of the cycles involved, it is very difficult for most to comprehend the continued decline in the prices of commodities and oil, while silver and gold rockets higher.

Gold And Silver – NWO-Created Tragedies Will Never End, Seek Truth / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016
By: Michael_Noonan
Nice, France weighs heavily and brings home the point, tomorrow is promised to no one.
The tragic mass-killing of Bastille Day celebrants in Nice, France may not have been a planned terrorist attack, but its consequences are no less extremely sad and equally infuriating. We heard about comments made from neighbors of the truck driver that he was not that religious, was undergoing a divorce and was not handling it very well and apparently snapped.
It matters not if that explanation makes sense in the wake of a senseless act of running over a hundred or so people, killing around 84, including children. The man was shot dead by police, so little else will ever be directly known from the Tunisian known mostly for petty criminal acts but no known terrorist affiliations.

The Upside Potential in Junior Gold Stocks / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2016
By: Jordan_Roy_Byrne
Our research continues to argue that the current, record rebound in gold stocks will continue. Every time we’ve predicted a correction, the weakness in the sector has been only a fraction of what we expected in both price and time. New bull markets that follow epic bear markets typically show exceptional strength in their first year. This bull has been no different. Thus, we expect the strong performance to continue. Today, we share a few reasons why the junior sector is poised to outperform in nominal and real terms.

Gold’s Record Selling Overhang / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016
By: Zeal_LLC
Gold’s mighty new bull market this year has been amazing, the result of heavy buying by investors and speculators alike. But these latter traders have pumped so much capital into gold futures that this metal now faces a record selling overhang. Since the hyper-leveraged nature of futures trading demands an ultra-short-term focus, speculators’ excessive bullish bets on gold pose major near-term downside risks.
Gold’s price trends are overwhelmingly dominated by global investment demand. Even though it has only accounted for about 1/5th of total demand in recent years, investment is wildly variable. With the rest of gold demand relatively stable, it is fluctuating investment demand that ultimately sets gold prices at the margin. Gold’s young bull in 2016 is largely the result of an influx of massive investment buying.

Gold Price Could Hit $5,000 or Even $10,000 in a Few Years / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016
By: John_Mauldin
BY JARED DILLIAN : You have to be careful writing about gold.
You come out in favor of gold and you get maligned as some kind of doomsday-prepping, knuckle-dragging wingnut. Then you never get to go on TV. They don’t invite the crazy gold guys on TV.
I’ve been long gold since 2005. Rode it all the way down from 2011 to 2016. If you ride something down 45%, you are a moron. I’ll own it. I am a moron. I actually had a pretty good idea that there would be a correction in 2011, but I vastly underestimated how severe it would be.

The Curious Case of Vanishing Lady Liberty; Only Gold and Silver Remember Her / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016
By: MoneyMetals
The very first word anyone ever saw on a circulating United States coin was the word “LIBERTY.”
From half-cents to silver dollars, each featured the likeness of an unnamed woman. The images varied, thanks to different engravers, but together they became recognized as Lady Liberty.
