Is the Silver Rally Over? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Przemyslaw_Radomski
In the previous essay, we've emphasized that gold is to move higher, and since it has just moved significantly higher, it seems that you may wonder what we think about the situation in its sister-metal - silver. However, before providing you with technical details, we would like to provide you with not-so-bullish views on China, and briefly comment on how it might affect the precious metals market.

Coal, The Contrarian’s Energy Investment / Commodities / Coal
By: Casey_Research
Joe Hung, Editor, Casey’s Energy Report writes: Imagine the price of gold jumping to $1,500 overnight... what would that do to the price of junior mining companies? That's what just happened to the price of coal - it jumped 38% in one day!
Coal is dirty, it's dusty, and it sends environmentalists into a tizzy. It's also the most rapidly growing fuel source in the world, it's broadly distributed with almost 70 countries having economically recoverable resources, and the energy found in it still exceeds that in all other fossil fuels combined.

Gold GLD ETF on the Move / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Mike_Paulenoff
The SPDR Gold Shares (NYSE: GLD) gapped up this morning, and prices have exploded to the upside, above the Jan-Apr resistance line at 111.50 and above that prior rally peak at 112.18 from March 3. Gold prices certainly had to be positively affected by traders' anticipation of a strong 10-year T-note auction. We discussed gold in detail last night in our member Webinar and our expected upside.

Gold Second Half Launch To $1,400 Target / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Neil_Charnock
Isn’t the world an interesting place at present! When the historians look back and decide what to write on the history for this time period they might as well use the heading “it seemed like a good idea at the time”.
The Australian Central Bank (RBA) raised interest rates to 4.25% here yesterday. I was talking to an industry professional today about this and used the analogy that Australia could currently be likened to a car driving down a highway with two drivers. One (RBA) is applying the brakes and the other (Federal Government) is trying to accelerate and turning up the turbo boost.

Two U.S. Dollar Signposts and Gold Silver Stealth Run / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Jim_Willie_CB
While the multitudes debate over whether an economic recovery is coming to the United States, signals sound loudly in harsh tones. While they point to the recent rise in the USDollar, signals sound loudly in harsh tones. Admittedly the signals are confusing, but they are important. The long-term bond yield for USTreasurys threatens the 4.0% mark. The crude oil price is close to threatening the $100 mark. Sleepy financial market anchors and mavens offer comment, but might miss altogether the significance of the signals. The signals clearly mean great strain on the credit markets still, and gradual decay of the major currencies led by the USDollar.

Gold in Elephant Country… / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: HRA_Advisory
A 0.25% increase to India’s bank rate last Friday coincided with a major reversal in the currency markets. The rupee closed out the day even against the US$ which had reversed its recent slide and gained against most other currencies. Over the past year the rupee has strengthened steadily relative to the greenback, so Indians have seen about 10% chipped off the US$ based gains for global goods through that period. Still, the current INR/USD exchange rate of 45 is only a recovery of about half the losses INR suffered when relative to the USD as the ratio moved from a sub 40/1 rate in early 2008 to 51/1 low a year ago.
