Gold Falls 2% as Macroeconomic and Geopolitical Risk Sees Increasing Risk Aversion / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: GoldCore
Gold fell nearly 2% yesterday as talk of China curbing lending (raising the proportion of deposits that banks must hold in reserve) saw traders take profits. Gold range traded in Asian trade before rising to currently trade at $1,134.00/oz at 1000 GMT. In euro and GBP terms, gold is trading at €782/oz and £698/oz respectively. The German economy shrank by 5% last year, its deepest recession since World War II. This makes the euro vulnerable to a correction - especially given the risk of insolvency to some other EU members. Gold's resistance at €800 per ounce could be overcome soon.

Outlook for Commodity trading 2010 / Commodities / Commodities Trading
By: Andrew_Abraham
Everyone would love to know what would be the outlook for the commodity markets and commodity trading. After a roaring 2007 and 2008 it seemed that commodity trading advisors would know no limit. The stock markets collapsed in 2008 and fear was rampant through out the world. During the turmoil when virtually every strategy lost money the Newedge CTA Index was up 13.07%. However in 2009 we encountered one of the biggest run up in the history of Wall Street and commodity traders did not find oppurtunities to profit. Many question was this a dead cat bounce or have things really changed and improved?

Silver Bearish Technicality / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: J_Derek_Blain
Don't get me wrong: I love silver - I have for as long as I can remember. There is just something about the oft-mystically-mentioned white metal that attracts me. Maybe I hate vampires (that new Twilight craze certainly hasn't added any vampire merit points), or maybe I just like high electrical conductivity and a pure looking luster.

Unemployment, A Boon for Silver / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis
There isn't a single commodity, equity, or security that escapes the influence of the unemployment rate. Typically, unemployment has lasting implications on investments, but for metals, it may be positive rather than negative.

Bottom Fishing in the Junior Precious Metals Sector 2010 / Commodities / Gold & Silver Stocks
By: The_Gold_Report
According to John Kaiser, creator of the Bottom-Fish Index, companies on his 2010 list are cheap because the market thinks the junior resource sector lacks the staying power it needs for their management group to guide them into significant growth. Whether the market is correct remains to be seen. John hopes to never again see a Bottom-Fishing opportunity such as that left in the wake of the crash of 2008. That said, the denizens of the deep he dredged up for his 2009 Bottom-Fish Index soared spectacularly close to 300% last year and in this exclusive Gold Report interview, he says they may double or triple in the year we've just begun. As for gold, regardless of where the price goes—up, down or sideways—John has suggestions about good places investors to be.

Central Asia's Most Precious Resource is Water, Not Oil / Commodities / Water Sector
By: OilPrice_Com
In every drop of water there is a grain of gold." - Aral proverb
Since the 1991 collapse of the USSR, foreign investors have looked at the former Soviet space as a land rich in underdeveloped resources waiting for Western technology and finance to bring to the world market. Gold from Kyrgyzstan, uranium and oil from Kazakhstan, oil and natural gas from Azerbaijan - all have begun to make their way to the global market, generating rich profits for both their owners and developers.

Will Gold be the only Currency? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Andrew_Abraham
Lets face it…when we look at a $100 Bill. It says this note is legal tender for all debts public and private. More so. It says In God We Trust. However… Can we still believe in the central banks, the FDIC or for that fact any currency because at the end of the day it is just a piece of fine weaved paper. It does not matter if it is the US dollar, the Japanese Yen or the Swiss Franc… It is just paper. I am not a gold bug nor do I know where the gold market is headed. I am a trend following commodity trader who just reacts and tries to follow trends when they happen.Read full article... Read full article...

By: Adrian_Ash
THE PRICE OF GOLD fell early Tuesday in London dealing, dropping below $1148 an ounce as commodity prices and equities fell after China's central bank reduced credit supplies in the world's fastest-growing economy.
The gold price gave back half of Monday's 2.1% jump agains the Dollar after the People's Bank raised its yield on 1-year bills by 0.08% – twice the expected rise – and withdrew a one-day record worth $29 billion in cash from the Chinese bond market.

Gold Rises as Financial Markets Wobble on Increased Interest Rate Risk and Alcoa / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: GoldCore
Gold rose 1% yesterday reaching 5-week highs and range traded between $1,151/oz and $1,158/oz overnight. It has dropped off slightly since but remains marginally higher in late morning trade in London. The poor jobs report last Friday has created investor uncertainty and has seen dollar weakness in the early part of the week leading to the firm gold price. Alcoa's below consensus earnings have not soothed these jitters. Gold is currently trading at $1,152.00/oz and in euro and GBP terms, gold is trading at €796/oz and £716/oz respectively.

Silver Futures Reversal: Can the 2008 Highs Be Taken Out? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Mark_Brown
Trading Silver Futures: Silver bulls have been rewarded for their patience during the recent sell off with a very strong bullish weekly reversal bar, one that also forms one end of a very nice up trend line (see dotted blue line on the chart). For the moment, the momentum is now back in the hands of the bulls, and there seem to be numerous technical clues that suggest that another attempt to take out the March 2008 near $21.19 may be launched soon. A look at the weekly chart for cash Silver may help us discern how far this new reversal may run.

Rewarding New Decade for Agri-Foods Investors / Commodities / Agricultural Commodities
By: Ned_W_Schmidt
What needed remembering this past week as a goodly part of the Northern Hemisphere sat frozen was that all that cold was a mirage. This cold weather, practically everywhere, was really just cloaking the underlying warming trend of the world. Do not let this cold weather fool you! This phony cold weather does, however, have some hidden dangers. We have been, here in south Florida, under an Iguana Alert. Iguanas, which are illegal immigrants without a natural predator, become immobile at temperatures below 40 degrees. They were falling out of the trees, which made walking under Iguana filled trees dangerous.

How to Buy Gold in 2010 / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Larry_Edelson
In just the first few trading days of the new year, gold has skyrocketed almost $35 … building up momentum for a new surge … and likely pointing the way to a far more powerful rally to new all-time highs later in 2010.
You can see the surge in the chart to the right. It’s a thrust higher that caught almost everyone off-guard.

Gold Forecast 2010, Resuming its Historical Monetary Role as the Anti-Currency / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Nick_Barisheff
Good afternoon. As always, it is a privilege to speak at the Empire Club.
Each year for the past three years, I have returned to share perceptions about the precious metals industry and specifically about gold. Generally, this forces me to step back and assess the previous year's events and then to speculate about what they may indicate for the coming year. Choosing the seminal events this year has been more difficult than usual. Lately the pace of gold-related news has accelerated exponentially with gold’s rising price. While 2009 was an exciting year for gold, setting a new average high of $1,088, 2010 promises to be even more exciting.
