Uranium Will Rebound with Economy / Commodities / Uranium

By: The_Gold_Report

The Energy Report checked in with Barbara Thomae, Senior Mining Analyst with the MineralFields Group, who says that they believe the economic recovery will spur reinvestment into the uranium sector, especially once uranium prices strengthen in line with other commodities. She says her firm's prudent portfolio picks (overweight in uranium and heavily overweight in gold juniors) have enabled them to have the best performance track record among all flow-through limited partnership groups for the past four years. Read on.

Gold Fails at Top of Trend Channel / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009

By: Mike_Paulenoff

This morning’s pop in the SPDR Gold Shares (NYSE: GLD) to a new recovery high (for July) at 95.38 was not sustained, and prices have since declined back into negative territory.  More importantly, let’s notice that this morning’s high coincides with an attempt to push above the top of the July price channel, which apparently has failed on this attempt.  The failure at the top of the channel argues for prices to come in beneath 94.00 towards 93.50 prior to another loop to the upside.  It is with this in mind that I move to the sidelines for a while.

Gold Heading for $644 or $1200? / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009

By: Ronald_Rosen

What if a decline to $644 takes place before the exalted highs are obtained? Is this possible? How could it happen? What would cause it to happen?

The reality, as I see it, is that time is more important than price on the way down as well as the way up.

Exchanging U.S. Dollars for Gold / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009

By: LewRockwell

Richard Daughty writes: The month of August 1971 is significant in that this is the month when Richard Nixon told the world, "Kiss my Fat American Butt (FAB), world, because although we Americans promised to maintain the purchasing power of the dollar against which all other currencies can maintain their value, too, we lied when we said that we would exchange gold for dollars to insure that we did what we said we would! Hahaha!

Gold Manages Break and Hold Above $960 / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009

By: GoldCore

Gold
Gold, currently trading at $961.00/oz, has managed to stay above the $960.00/oz support mark and is finding it tough to break through the next resistance of $970.00/oz. If broken, it should test the further resistance of $980.00/oz very quickly. The ECB and the BOE meet today but are expected to leave interest rates unchanged.

Metals Snap Back Rally / Commodities / Metals & Mining

By: HRA_Advisory

The continued enthusiasm for metals can be tied to a combination of devaluation of the Greenback and hopes that western recessions are bottoming.  The deteriorating US Dollar is an element that will have to be weighed against the demand picture for the next decade.  However, western demand hasn’t been fundamental to pricing metal, or oil, for over a decade.  Current enthusiasm, especially in light summer trading, should be treated gingerly.

Eric Coffin: Stick with Commodities & Resources Exploration Stories that Work / Commodities / Resources Investing

By: The_Gold_Report

Investors have been beaten down and battered over the last year. With correlations between markets continuing to shift unpredictably, many are uncertain about where to put their money. "It's been a strange year," says Eric Coffin, co-editor, along with his brother David, of the HRA (Hard Rock Analyst) publications. The good news, he says, is that it's probably not going to get worse than March; the bad—a bear market this deep almost always revisits the major bottom. Read what Eric foresees going forward and why he's sticking with the exploration stories that work in this exclusive interview with The Gold Report.

Gold Seasonal Trend Analysis, Is the 18 Month Consolidation Complete? / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009

By: Bill_Downey

Another month has come to an end in the gold market and it is always good to review where we’ve been and where we might be going.  For those of us who follow the market closely, you know how important it is to constantly review the important aspects of the market and to keep those aspects in the forefront. Even if you view from a distance, a good monthly review is essential to keep up with the price trends of the gold market.  The past 17 months sideways consolidation to a certain degree can sometimes put us in a frame of mind in gold that we get so used to the sideways trend that we might sometimes miss what is brewing underneath the market.

New Upleg in Natural Gas ETF UNG / Commodities / Natural Gas

By: Mike_Paulenoff

Commodities in general, but the oil and gas complex in particular, are very strong in the early going this AM... Let's have a look at the pattern that is emerging in the U.S. Nat Gas Fund ETF (NYSE: UNG).  Purely from a technical perspective this morning’s thrust above near-term resistance at 13.15/20 has triggered the ignition of a new upleg that should hurdle and sustain above 14.00 on the way to 14.30, then 15.00/30 thereafter.
