Gold Set for New Record Highs / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: GoldCore
Gold rallied on the open in Asia and has maintained those gains in early trading in Europe as the dollar has. Last week's all time higher weekly close was important technically and means that gold's technicals remain strong after its recent weekly and monthly (May) higher closes. Indeed, momentum traders and those making "the trend their friend" could push gold to new (nominal) highs in the coming days.

Gold Bugs All Aboard the Last Train For The Coast / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Howard_Katz
All aboard, dear gold bugs. The train is slowly picking up speed and is leaving the station. It is your last chance to get aboard at a price reasonably close to $1,000/oz. Now you may not agree that $1,250 is reasonably close to $1,000, but when you see gold at $3,000, then you will agree. From the vantage of $3,000, then $1,000, $1,250 no big deal. The point is to be long of gold.

Gulf Oil Spill Could Spark Agri-Food's Wheat Commodity Ethanol Demand / Commodities / Agricultural Commodities
By: Ned_W_Schmidt
Many people would feel rich with a $1,000 in their wallet. But, it might really depend where one was. In New York City or London, a thousand dollars does not go very far. However, if one was in Uruguay, that grand might be meaningful wealth. True value of what one has in hand of anything, be it money or wheat, depends on how much of it one will consume each day.

Gold Going to Parabolic Top of $10,000 by 2012 For Good Reasons / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Lorimer_Wilson
No wishful thinking here! As I see it gold is going to a parabolic top of $10,000 by 2012 for very good reasons - sovereign debt defaults, bankruptcies of “too big to fail” banks and other financial entities, currency inflation and devaluations - which will all contribute to rampant price inflation.

Gold New High Was Not Decisive / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Merv_Burak
The week started out well but didn’t finish as such. Although gold made new highs it was not decisive. Should gold drop below the $1216 mark we might be in for more downside but if it closes above the $1250 level then the bull is expected to continue.

By: Przemyslaw_Radomski
In our previous essay we have emphasized the importance of the analysis of the Euro Index, while evaluating recent performance of gold.

Consequently, this essay is going to feature the updated version of the previous gold chart (charts courtesy by http://stockcharts.com), with an additional important factor - areas marked on the below chart with blue ellipses.

By: Mike_Paulenoff
The BIG picture of the SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE: GLD) continues to exhibit a series of higher lows and higher highs since the March 24 low at 106.34. My near-term work argues that the decline from new all-time highs at 122.45 to yesterday's low at 118.83 represents yet another pullback to a higher low.

Gold Stock Fundamentals Now versus 2008 / Commodities / Gold & Silver Stocks
By: Jordan_Roy_Byrne
Escalating sovereign debt problems in Europe has prompted some to wonder if another “Lehman” type collapse is on the horizon. As a result, some precious metals observers have grown cautious, fearing a replay of the events of two years ago. While it is always prudent to be cautious with an extremely volatile sector like the gold stocks, the facts illustrate major differences between their fundamentals now and in 2008.

Gold Where to From Here? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Chris_Galakoutis
The focus of this month’s post will be about gold and the gold shares. Will the price of gold record 10 straight years of gains, or might it be in for a correction? A good starting point might be to understand what happened to gold and the gold stocks in the 1920’s & 1930’s, and why.

By: Adrian_Ash
THE PRICE OF GOLD jumped out of a tight trading range at the start of New York dealing on Friday, rising to show a 0.5% weekly gain at $1227 an ounce as investment capital moved into "safe haven" assets on news of a sharp drop in US retail sales.

Crude Oil Investing and Forecast Mid 2010 Update / Commodities / Crude Oil
By: Money_Morning
Larry D. Spears writes: While it looked like they were headed towards the $90 a barrel level, oil prices hit a wall in the spring. Rattled investors who worried about the direction of the global economy shunned black gold in favor of real gold as a means of preserving capital.
But don't be fooled. The spring retreat simply set the stage for a second-half rally.

Gold Gains as Risk Trade Back on Despite Sovereign Debt and Banking System Stress / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: GoldCore
Global equities and commodities have rallied due to increased risk appetite despite real lingering risks. Gold has gained for the first time in four days in global markets and some investors continue to diversify into the safe haven on concern that Europe's sovereign debt and fiscal crisis isn't over. Hopes for a continuation of the recent global economic rebound are high and have seen oil, copper and most commodity prices rise this week and equities stabilise. Gold is currently trading at $1,220/oz and in Euro, GBP, CHF, and JPY terms, gold is trading at €1,008/oz, £832/oz, CHF 1,393/oz, JPY 111,709/oz respectively.
