Gold Hits New Bear Market Low / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: Merv_Burak
New bear market lows in gold but not really confirmed by the indicators. Are we in for a rally here? One would be nuts to predict with any certainty. However, we can confirm where we are, if not where we are going.
GOLD : LONG TERM - That $750 P&F projection mentioned last week didn't stand a chance. By the end of the week the P&F chart dropped as low as the $690 unit before rebounding during Friday up to the $750 unit. Now what? The rebound is nice but at this point does not imply a rally of any significance in progress. So we still have the $630 and possibly the $480 levels to look forward to.

Gold's Fate Linked to Euro? / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: Mike_Paulenoff
Gold and the streetTRACKS Gold Shares (NYSE: GLD) are having an interesting session... but their fate may be increasingingly linked to the direction of Euro/$ (or perhaps Euro/Yen these days). Let's notice that at today's low, the Euro/$ appears to have satisfied an equidistant 2-leg correction off of its July high, and is attempting to hold and to rally off of the 1.2500 equidistant support area.

By: Mark_OByrne
It was déjà vu in the Comex gold market yesterday as the recent sharp selloff continued.

Stock, commodity and many currency markets internationally are in meltdown on panic selling. Read full article... Read full article...

U.S. Dollar Driven Gold Price Crash / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: Zeal_LLC
During this unprecedented month where the flagship S&P 500 has plummeted 23.0%, it isn't surprising this brutal stock-market selloff is monopolizing investors' attention. Thus gold's poor performance is largely flying under the radars. Month to date, this metal is down a massive 15.6%! This combined with the intense stock fears have led to an unthinkable 46.4% October decline in the HUI gold-stock index. Read full article... Read full article...

Gold Buying Opportunity and Hedge Against Uncertainty / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: Joseph_Brusuelas
Perhaps the most interesting development during the intensification of the credit crisis is that the price of gold did not climb higher than it did. Upon the initiation of the crisis in August 2007, the price of gold surged reaching a high of $1002.95 on March 14, 2007. Since then the cost of the precious commodity has fluctuated with the most recent price action sending it to recent lows of 725.74. However, given the pervasive uncertainty in markets we think that this represents a strategic buying opportunity on the back of our bullish call for gold to spike towards $1100 in 2009 with the potential for a much larger move over the longer term.

Why Cheap Oil is Great for the Oil Majors / Commodities / Oil Companies
By: John_Henry
For the last 3 years, the world's oil majors have not had an easy time from the oil producing states. Increasing oil prices has led to a complacent attitude by oil reliant governments. This often masks inefficiency, sometimes corruption, and has led to high taxation coupled with unsound business practices. Russia's oil production for instance, has been reducing each year despite the governments desire to increase output. Read full article... Read full article...

Gold Market Dis-Information Specialists Ply Their Trade / Commodities / Market Manipulation
By: Rob_Kirby
Tim Gardiner, president and CEO, Mitsui & Co. Precious Metals Inc. appeared on Canada's Business News Network [BNN] and – in a ridiculous attempt to explain the recent demolishing of the gold price - made the claim that demand for gold was down and, “the only reason for physical shortages of gold products at retail was ‘logistical' and due to a shortage of ‘blanks' from which the coins are stamped”.

Gold Crashes to 50% of Bull Market, Recovery Rally Expected / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: Mike_Paulenoff
The very long-term chart pattern shows that the streetTRACKS Gold Shares (NYSE: GLD) has retraced 50% of its entire prior bull run (2005-2008), and so far has shown initial signs of reversal just above critical long-term support between 68.50 and 63.50. As of this moment, the weight of my technical work argues for a recovery rally into the 74.50-75.00 target zone, which could prove to be either the start of a very powerful upleg, or merely a recovery bounce prior to another loop to 70.00 or lower to complete the weakness from the March highs.

Commodity Prices Inverse Relationship to the US Dollar / Commodities / CRB Index
By: Donald_W_Dony
The connection with commodity prices and the movement of the U.S. dollar continues to remain tight and over-ride year-over-year fundamentals. Oil and gold are particularly linked to the currency and weakness or strength in the dollar are quickly transferred to positive or negative trading patterns for these natural resources.

Credit Deflation Brings Down Gold Bull Market / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: Chris_Galakoutis
Why would Credit Deflation bring down Gold when Credit Inflation didn't send it to the moon?
I have received many emails from readers about the public article I wrote last week on the issue of the current deflation scare. Those arguing against my position believe the US will not experience inflation as quickly as some might expect.

Internet Startup Dot.com Collapse versus Junior Mining Sector Collapse / Commodities / Gold & Silver Stocks
By: David_Urban

Loading Up on Silver Below $10 / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: Money_and_Markets
Sean Brodrick writes: As the price of silver pulled back under $10 an ounce recently, I started loading up on the white metal. Or, I should say, I tried to load up. While I was easily able to buy silver coins with numismatic value, my first attempts to buy silver bullion coins met with frustration.
I think this says a lot about the silver market right now. On paper, it's cheap. But in the real, physical market, silver is getting very precious indeed.

Frank Holmes: When Inflation Erupts, Gold Will Take Off / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: The_Gold_Report
Expect short-term hesitancy in the upward movement of the gold price until liquidity returns to the markets, says Frank Holmes, CEO and chief investment officer at U. S. Global Investors and co-author of the new book “The Goldwatcher:Demystifying Gold Investing” (John Wiley & Sons). In this exclusive interview with the Gold Report, he predicts gold will go to $1,000, even $2,000, over the next two years. A growing money supply due to a change in government policies will help lift some juniors out of their misery, too. Holmes advises selective nibbling until conditions improve and names a few companies to consider. Read full article... Read full article...
