By: Merv_Burak
It’s been a good week for gold, actually a good two and a half weeks. Gold looks to be on another tear and is heading to test December’s high. I’d give it about two weeks to get into new highs otherwise the trend may stall.

Is Green Energy Credible / Commodities / Renewable Energy
By: Andrew_McKillop
THE CONFUSED BACKGROUND
Since about 2005, political leaderships and corporate deciders in the big oil importer countries, mainly but not exclusively the OECD group, have continually raised the scale for energy transition away from fossil fuels.

Gold and The General Stock Market - Rallying or Topping? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Przemyslaw_Radomski
In the March 31st 2010 commentary, we've analyzed the general stock market along with the price of gold, and one of the things that we wrote was that a significant decline is not very likely at this point and the general market could rally further.

Gold Bull Market is Back in Play / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Seven_Days_Ahead
The Macro Trader’s view:
Our views on Gold have been well aired over the months, if not years. We are long-term bulls. But the market has suffered several steep and often protracted corrections that have on occasion endured for months.
We judge the market is currently in such a phase, but shows signs that it is now coming to an end. Naturally we expect price action to resolve into a fresh leg of the long Bull Run. But what have been the dynamics behind the market over recent months and why now is it beginning to retest the upside?

In this exclusive interview with The Energy Report, Mark says that the infrastructure isn't in place to allow natural gas to become a tangible replacement for oil any time soon.
