Will Gold Price Fall in a Real Economic Recovery? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Julian_DW_Phillips
We have heard many commentators implying that a U.S. economic recovery that leads to the sort of growth that was seen before 2008 will give investors reasons to divest from gold. As the year end approaches and another year is on us, it seems wise to us to look at this carefully. All of us would dearly love to see a real recovery, with rising housing prices moving back to levels seen in 2008, strong employment data and consumers with plenty of disposable income to make life stress free again. In such a climate, one can understand that these desires would be accompanied by a fall in the gold price, which to many is a thermometer measuring the ailments of the developed world economies. But is that the reason that gold is at current levels?

Gold Stocks HUI Falling Wedge / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Clive_Maund
You can consider this Gold Market update to be gift wrapped. As I am unable to get presents to each and every reader this year for logistical reasons, these Gold and Silver Market updates are going to have to suffice, which is perfectly reasonable given how bullish they are.
Little has changed since the last updates were posted on the 5th December, but what change there has been has increased immediate upside potential in both gold and silver substantially, as the minor reaction in gold and sideways action in silver of recent weeks has served to further unwind the earlier overbought condition.

Investor Gold Profit, Protection Despite Banking Cartel Manipulation Intervention / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: DeepCaster_LLC
“Is the gold price being manipulated? There are those who say no, while others say yes - notably The Gold Anti Trust Association (GATA) - and on balance it looks to an impartial observer (relatively) that the answer is probably in the affirmative. But perhaps no more so than any other commodities and some stock prices. There is a whole mammoth industry out there - the big banks, hedge funds etc. - whose whole purpose is to make money from money and the more you have in the first place the easier it is to do. Not by producing anything useful, but through manipulation of prices through short selling in huge volumes to drive prices down, buying on the turn, allowing prices to rise back up, taking profits, then more short selling to drive prices down again and the cycle continues. This works better in a bull market, which gold has been in for the past ten years or so.

Premiums on British Gold Sovereigns and Eagle Demand Show Lack of "Irrational Exuberance" / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: GoldCore
Gold has fallen marginally in all major currencies today. Market participants are winding down before the holiday break and further profit taking and year end book squaring is seeing volume fall and gold remain in a tight range. Gold will likely get direction from the durable goods orders, consumer sentiment and new home sales data later today.

How to Spot the Top of the Gold Market / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: DailyWealth
Chris Weber writes: I recently read an article about the famous Aden sisters in BusinessWeek. Something Mary Anne Aden said in it really struck a chord with me.
In the midst of showing the generally fantastic track record of the Adens, they talk about their "biggest goof": how they stayed bullish on gold in the early 1980s. "We were new to the game," said Mary Anne. "We were feeling enormous pressure from our subscribers to stay bullish."

Gold Rises as UK Finances Deteriorate and IMF Gold Sales End / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010

Gold Rises as UK Finances Deteriorate and IMF Gold Sales End
Gold and silver edged moderately higher again yesterday in most currencies. Profit taking and book squaring prior to year end have led to lacklustre range bound price action. News that the IMF gold sales to central banks has been completed, saw gold prices rise slightly. Despite the gold sales being off market - directly from the IMF to creditor nation central banks diversifying monetary reserves - the potential overhang of IMF gold supply and perceived risk was one of the few bearish factors in the gold market.
Gold is currently trading at $1,389.32/oz, €1,057.08/oz and £898.31/oz.

Silver Outperforms Gold - Profit! Silver Underperform Gold - Profit Again! / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Mike_Stall
In our earlier essay, we saw how the silver-gold pair is ideal to bet on for mean reversion. We also saw how to make use of the mean reverting properties of any ratio. Continuing on that topic, we will investigate whether mean reversion holds true for the gold-silver ratio in particular. We will examine variables one should watch over when looking at regime changes (points where the mean is set to new values). We will also explore a simplistic trading strategy on the ratio based on some core parameters that determine entry and exit points.

Silver and Gold Short-term Uncertainty, Could Follows Stocks Lower / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Przemyslaw_Radomski
The past week has failed to provide clear signals in most markets worldwide. Perhaps the uncertainty of the financial stability of several European countries further compounded by normal holiday and year-end influences have thus far made December a difficult month to read.

Fed Shortsighted QE Policy Fuels the Continuing Gold Price Rise / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Michael_J_Kosares
“Washington doesn't agree on much these days, with one glaring exception: that the U.S. is facing a long-term fiscal crisis. The federal government's debt is now $13.8 trillion and is projected to hit $20 trillion by the end of the coming decade-when it will be the highest level as a share of the economy that the U.S. has seen in 50 years. In September the International Monetary Fund warned that the U.S. is moving dangerously close to a point at which spooked markets will send interest rates on new borrowing to devastatingly high levels. As it is, the government is on course to spend $1 trillion per year on interest costs alone-about a quarter of all federal spending. ‘We are accumulating debt burdens that will rival a third-world nation within 10 years,’ says David Walker, former chairman of the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office. ‘Once you end up losing the confidence of the markets, things happen very suddenly-and very dramatically. We've seen that in Greece, we've seen it in Ireland, and we must not see it happen in the United States.’" - Michael Crowley, The New York Times
