Gold, Silver and HUI Analysis / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016
By: Dan_Norcini
Ever since that abysmal payrolls number hit the wires, gold has performed exceedingly well. Additionally, it does seem as if there is some strong gold buying ahead of the upcoming “Brexit” vote, an event which has the potential to create a fair amount of chaos depending on which way it goes.

By: John_Mauldin
Hard Asset Alliance writes: Now that we’ve got the presidential race narrowed to three candidates, let’s examine which one might be better for gold investors.
2016 seems to be the year of the “alternative candidate,” and so hedge fund manager Dan Tapiero looked at how each candidate might impact the “alternative investment” of gold.

Natural Gas Fails to Overcome Key Technical Level Despite Surge Higher / Commodities / Natural Gas
By: AnyOption
Although there is growing evidence to suggest that natural gas prices have broken out to the upside, recent price action over the last few sessions indicates that the rally has stalled and that key resistance remains in the way of a further climb. While fundamentals have not greatly changed over the last few weeks, natural gas prices have experienced a near 25.00% rally in just over two weeks. One of the key contributors remains higher average temperatures across the United States and predictions about the La Niña cycle will impact weather conditions going forward. However, should prices remain high, the falling rig count could conceivably reverse, bringing more supply to market and driving natural gas in storage even higher from current levels, adding to downside price pressures and causing natural gas to pullback from the current trend higher.Read full article...

Agri-Commodities Winning in 2016 / Commodities / Agricultural Commodities
By: Ned_W_Schmidt
The inevitable just seems to keep coming around. That over time food would become scarcer in our world has been well known for decades. Simply put, global demand for food continues to expand. Inevitable scarcity of food for the world is occasionally hidden by short-term bursts of exceptionally good harvests. But, exceptionally good is not a normal state for world's Agri-Food production.

US Jobs Report Changes the Landscape for Gold / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016
By: The_Gold_Report
Gold soars as chances for a Fed rate hike this month evaporate. Brien Lundin, editor of Gold Newsletter, details what that means for investors.
Perhaps the lesson is this: Don't count gold out.
Last week, I was expecting another thrust downward for gold, with the metal losing perhaps another $35–$60 to the $1,150–$1,175 range.

Gold Bullion, Texas Is Taking on a New Battle…Against the Entire Financial System / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016
By: Rodney_Johnson
200 men against 1,500 enemy troops.They were never going to win. They fought anyway. Everyone died. It’s a story that most Americans are vaguely aware of, but the tale of the Alamo is seared into the heart of every Texan.
In losing the battle in such heroic fashion, the defenders rallied others to the cause, helping the Tejanos defeat the Mexican army in 1836. Like that, the country of Texas was born. Nine years later, the young nation joined the United States and became the only state to join the union by treaty.

Former Bank of England head Mervyn King joins Alan Greenspan in advocating Gold Ownership / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016
By: Michael_J_Kosares
In The End of Alchemy, Mervyn King, the former head of the Bank of England, writes of central banks’ frustration in dealing with the stagnant global economy. “Central banks,” he says, “have thrown everything at their economies, and yet the results have been disappointing, Whatever can be said about the world recovery since the crisis, it has been neither strong, nor sustainable, nor balanced.”
Similarly, former IMF chief economist, Olivier Blanchard was recently quoted in the Financial Times as saying: “And so the question is why is it, that with no fiscal consolidation and banks in decent shape, at least in terms of lending, and zero interest rates, we don’t have an enormous demand boom? That is now the puzzle.”

Gold Stocks Be Prepared / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2016
By: Rambus_Chartology
There are two patterns I'm watching very closely in here on the HUI which will be a proxy for the rest of the PM stock indexes. This first chart is daily chart which shows the three small consolidation patterns that have formed since the January low. The top pattern basically completed its fourth reversal point today which is an expanding falling wedge. One of two things will most likely happen tomorrow. If this is the correct consolidation pattern then we will most likely see a breakout gap above the top rail which should lead to the next impulse move up. The second scenario would be to see the top rail hold resistance and a move down to the bottom rail of the expanding falling wedge where the 38% retrace would come into play around the 183 area. This pattern is complete except for the breakout.

First Majestic Silver Stock Soars / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2016
By: Zeal_LLC
First Majestic Silver has been one of the world’s best-performing stocks in 2016, nearly quintupling at best in recent months. This outstanding Canadian silver miner runs extensive operations in Mexico, and is one of this metal’s purest producers. Despite its blistering run this year, First Majestic remains incredibly well-positioned to greatly leverage silver’s mean reversion higher. Investors should take a look.
First Majestic Silver’s amazing fundamentals won me over as a fan years ago, and I definitely have a dog in this fight. As silver was grinding along near major secular lows late last year, we recommended a new long-term investment in First Majestic at $3.20 in our monthly newsletter. Then in mid-January as silver stocks languished, we added another new First Majestic trade at $2.51 in our weekly newsletter.

Gold Mixed Signals or a Clear Path Forward? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016
By: Gary_Tanashian
Last week’s opening paragraph: “If we are going to highlight improving fundamentals, which we did as gold out performed commodities and stock markets, then we also have to highlight and respect eroding fundamentals; no ifs, ands or buts.”
This week’s opening paragraph: If we are going to highlight eroding fundamentals, which we did as gold under performed commodities and stock markets and Semi Equipment made an early positive economic indication, then we also have to highlight and respect improving fundamentals; no ifs, ands or buts.

Traders Panicking EVerywhere, Gold Chart / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016
By: Gary_Savage
I see traders everywhere panicking. People are acting like they’ve gotten left behind. Nothing could be further from the truth.
While I’m skeptical that gold has made a final intermediate cycle low because it hasn’t dropped far enough to break the intermediate trend line yet, and the dollar should still have another leg up this month, the reality is that gold is only on day 3 of this daily cycle.

Gold And Silver – Friday May Have Marked A Pivotal Turnaround / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016
By: Michael_Noonan
More reasons why owning gold and silver should be at the top of everyone’s financial survival list, current elite-abused [abandoned] supply/demand considerations aside not being a part of the reasons where reason is utterly absent. Politicians have run amok. The elites are driving world economies harder and faster into the ground. Lies are the current political and financial currency, and the public seem not to mind.
From the Washington Post: 9 charts showing Yes-We-Can-Obama’s “recovery.” The 1st, 3rd, and 4th charts show debt of the American people [remember the 14th Amendment: the federal debt cannot be challenged – the elites had that written in]; the 2nd shows the ‘growth” of those reliant on the public teat, [in large, thanks to the preceding chart and the ones that follow]; the 5th shows Yes-We-Can Obama’s force-fed healthcare solution that nobody except him and the elites wanted, and why debt-enslavement is ensured, forcing yet more Americans onto chart 2; charts 6, 8, and 9 show Yes-We-Can-Obama’s “healthy economy,” if anyone is sufficiently retarded gullible enough to believe his lies. Chart 7 is a mystery. Insert any color vs the federal government, and you would get the same chart, maybe even worse.

Why Crude Oil $50 Won't Last, Chances of a Breakdown Are High / Commodities / Crude Oil
By: The_Energy_Report
Technical analyst and newsletter writer Clive Maund lists the reasons he believes oil prices, which recently peaked above $50/barrel, are headed for a fall.
It still looks like oil is topping out here at about the $50 level after its substantial recovery uptrend from its February low. While we cannot be sure until it breaks down from its uptrend, the chances of its doing so soon look high for various reasons.

Are Junior Gold Stocks Following 2008-2009 Recovery? / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2016
By: Jordan_Roy_Byrne
Weeks ago precious metals began a correction amid overbought conditions (in the miners) and very bullish sentiment in the metals. The recent Fed minutes helped accelerate the weakness but it lost steam in recent days. A real stinker of a jobs report completely reversed the thought that the Fed would hike rates in the summer and it sent precious metals surging. As a result, the gold stocks and junior gold stocks especially could be back on the path to making new highs before autumn.

On the Price of Oil / Commodities / Crude Oil
By: Steve_H_Hanke
Since its high of almost $108/bbl in June of 2014, we have witnessed a stunning collapse in the price of oil. Indeed, in February 2016, a barrel of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) was trading at $26/bbl, a 76 percent plunge from the June 2014 highs. It has since clawed its way back to $49/bbl (May 24th).Read full article... Read full article...
