First Month of Van Eck’s REMX ETF / Commodities / Exchange Traded Funds

By: Anthony_David

In late October, Van Eck Global launched the first listed exchange-traded fund (ETF) in the United States – the Market Vectors Rare Earth/Strategic Metals ETF (NYSE Arca:REMX), which aims to expose investors to companies involved in the production, refining, and recycling of rare earth/strategic metals. The fund seeks to reproduce, as far as possible, the price and yield performance of the Market Vectors Rare Earth/Strategic Metals Index (Index), which enables investors to track the overall performance of listed companies in that sector. To be listed in the Index, a company must earn over 50% of its revenue from ventures in the rare earth/strategic metals space.

How and Where Manganese & Magnesium is Used / Commodities / Metals & Mining

By: Anthony_David

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleManganese is found in nature as a free element, in combination with iron and many other minerals. The most important industrial use of manganese is as an alloy, predominantly in the steel industry. In fact, there is no comparative substitute for manganese in its primary applications. Pure magnesium, on the other hand, is not found as a free element because of its highly reactive nature. The primary industrial applications of magnesium are as a component of aluminum and zinc alloys, in the removal of sulfur in the iron and steel-manufacturing sector, and in the production of metals such as titanium.

Long on Natural Gas, Longer on Crude Oil / Commodities / Oil Companies

By: The_Gold_Report

Diamond Rated - Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleEven if the pace of China's growth slows dramatically, count on the commodities boom to continue, says Adrian Day Asset Management Chairman and CEO Adrian Day. That bodes well for oil, as China's huge population will at least double per-capita consumption of oil over the next decade—maybe even drive it up fivefold. In this Energy Report exclusive, Adrian discusses Indian and Chinese demand and why he isn't worried long term about natural gas.

IMF To Soon Announce Completion of Gold Sales / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010

By: Julian_DW_Phillips

At the end of October the I.M.F. had 32.7 tonnes of gold left to be sold. In September they sold 32 tonnes of gold and in October 19.5 tonnes, in the open market. Should they continue selling at the pace of September then we would expect to hear the announcement in December and probably in the first half of December. If they continued the slower pace of selling of October then we will have to wait until January 2011 for the announcement. We believe that this is significant because it will signal the real end of "Official" selling of gold. The signatories of the Central Bank Gold Agreement, with the exception of small deals in coins have not sold for over a year now. With the completion of the I.M.F. sales the annual 400 tonnes of 'official' selling will not be available to the market.

Where is Gold Headed Next? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010

By: INO

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleThe gold market has been pushing out its normal level of frustration and anxiety for the past several weeks.

So the question becomes, is the gold market pausing to move higher, and of course the Bulls would argue this, or is it forming the head and shoulders top that many technicians are looking for? Of course, this would be a bearish sign for gold if this technical formation is completed.

Gold, No Bearish Head and Shoulders Pattern / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010

By: Jordan_Roy_Byrne

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleIn the past week I’ve seen more than a few mentions of the potential head and shoulders pattern in Gold. A head and shoulders pattern occurs when a market forms three peaks and the middle peak is noticeably higher than the left and right peaks. However, that is not enough for the pattern to play out as projected in the textbooks. There are other important characteristics of this pattern, which many technicians ignore or are unaware of.

Middle East Crude Oil About to Catch Fire! / Commodities / Crude Oil

By: Bari_Baig

Crude finds itself at a bid not because of the joint maritime exercises between U.S and South Korea but due to biggest tranche of documents released by Wiki Leaks. We can safely say that Middle East had this coming their way, perhaps because everyone has almost had it with the Oil’s monopoly and OPEC’s Cartel. Who then suffers the most with the latest documents released pertinent to Middle East? The Middle East itself! The recent release of secret documents carrying sinister views of variety of leaders about their neighbors appears to be an attempt to induce a paradigm shift in Iranian foreign policy for shifting their focus from USA to the foes closer at hand then as previously perceived by them.

The Gold Standard Never Dies / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010

By: LewRockwell

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleJohn Maynard Keynes thought he had pretty well killed gold as a monetary standard back in the 1930s. Governments of the world did their best to help him. It took longer than they thought. Gold in the money survived all the way to Nixon, and it was he who finally drove the stake in once and for all. That was supposed to be the end of it, and the beginning of the glorious new age of paper prosperity.

Gold Rises vs. Falling Euro and Stock-Markets / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010

By: Adrian_Ash

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleTHE PRICE OF GOLD slipped against the Dollar but held steady vs. the Euro in London on Monday, reversing an earlier rally as the Euro slipped to a new 9-week low to the Dollar following the weekend's €85 billion rescue package for Ireland, agreed with the International Monetary Fund and European Union.

Irish banking shares rose sharply, but government bonds were little changed on the news, with the yield on Spanish 10-year debt continuing to trade near all-time record highs over comparable German bonds.

Gold Continues to Trace Out Possible Bearish Head and Shoulders Pattern / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010

By: Merv_Burak

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleGold continues to act as one would expect when tracing out a bearish head and shoulder pattern.  It’s not finished yet and may not but it does require careful attention over the next week or so.

It’s the U.S. Thanksgiving week-end and most people are in holiday mode.  Having lived over a dozen years in the U.S. I’ll go along with that.  This week is just the facts, little commentary.

The Gold Price Isn't About Gold! / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010

By: Julian_DW_Phillips

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleSince 2000, the gold price has risen from $300 to $1,400 an ounce. There are several more important reasons than its being 'just a commodity.' The strongest driving force behind gold's rise in the last four years has been investment demand. As a commodity, it doesn't tarnish, it's a great conductor, and makes good looking jewelry. But these reasons are not the reasons why people invest in gold.

An examination of the non-residential sector and infrastructure initiatives in China puts beyond doubt the support for metals from China alone. However, withdrawal of the effect of the stimulus combined with cautious investors expecting a correction in China’s real estate may result in an imminent correction before prices continue upward.

Gold Holds Steady as Silver Targets $30 on Demand and Increasing Debt Contagion Risk / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010

By: GoldCore

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleGold is steady in dollars and pounds but has risen again in euros as the dollar has fallen in world markets. Gold is being supported by renewed concerns of contagion in eurozone debt markets and the risk that tensions in the Korean peninsula will escalate into a war. The hesitant risk appetite of recent days has dissipated again on these concerns. This is seeing falls in equity markets internationally and gold being supported – particularly in euro terms.
