Will Gold Bulls Finally Hit The Panic Button? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: Submissions
Nicholas Kitonyi writes:
The commodities market has been on the spot for the last 12 months and by extension over the last three years, if you include Iron, Copper and Aluminum. However, the most notable developments have come in the precious metals category and Oil and gas.
Specifically the prices of Gold and Oil have fluctuated extensively with Oil settling on a range of about $43 to $50 per barrel, while the price of gold has oscillated between $1,110 and $1,190 over the last two months. The price of oil is down 12% this year after making massive dips and spikes over the last 12 months, while gold remains barely unchanged.

Gold And Silver - Month-End Technical Review / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: Michael_Noonan
A proverbial picture [chart], being worth 1,000 words, we will let the charts speak for themselves, with observations/comments attached to each one.
From our perspective, the charts are saying, irrespective of what anyone is reading or following regarding gold and silver, there appears to be no change in trend for the near term. The state of China's economy; possible confrontation between China and the US now sending ships to irritate/challenge China's control over it part of the ocean where she is building new bases; flagging response to the Fed's ongoing failure of injecting more and more fiat in an already over bloated fiat economy, in fact, world-wide; Russia's ongoing embarrassment of Washington with Russia's pinpoint air force accuracy bombing ISIS terrorists, and commensurate challenge of taking control of the Mid East from the flailing Sunni Arab coalition, Western political disarray, etc, etc, etc.

Bearish Reversal in Precious Metals at Resistance...Again / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2015
By: Jordan_Roy_Byrne
The precious metals sector sharply reversed course after the Federal Reserve hinted that it may raise rates at its next meeting. This about face from the Fed was enough to effectively end the fledgling rally that began in the summer and threatened to take metals and miners higher to their 400-day moving averages. The prevailing thought was the Fed was on hold for a while and this paved the way for more strength in the precious metals complex. Thoughts be damned! The Fed has whipsawed gold bugs (and me) again.

Silver Prices and Economic Data Releases / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis
Hey guys, stay right there. I am really excited once again to be here. We are live and also we get to continue our discussion that started about a month and half ago about the reality of Silver prices right now. We're doing a deep dive. Last week we spent time discussing “standard of care” from a fiduciary standpoint. We discussed technical analysis in the previous week and then we started off the deep dive sections with high frequency trading and algorithm trading. Today's topic is data releases and price action.

Sea Change in the Fed Swamps Gold / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: Dan_Norcini
WOW! I know no other way of saying it than to say that the Fed took everyone by surprise. I certainly did not expect this Fed, this timid FOMC, to sound such a hawkish note.
As dovish as Draghi and the ECB sounded last week, the Fed sounded hawkish this week. Talk about a sea change in attitude!

Falling Wedge Formation Pointing to Higher Gold Price / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: Mario_Innecco
Technical analysis has always been a difficult craft to perform as evolving formations sometimes point to certain outcomes but not always do we get these outcomes. Since the great financial crisis of 2008 and the intervention of all major Western central banks in capital markets via their policy of quantitative easing and zero interest rates it has become even more difficult to use technical analysis tools to try and predict market action. With that in mind here is what we think the technical tea leaves are telling us about the gold price.

Stop Blaming OPEC For Low Oil Prices / Commodities / Crude Oil
By: OilPrice_Com
We are a little more than a month away from OPEC's next meeting, which will be held in Vienna on December 4, 2015.
OPEC altered the course of the oil markets last year when it decided to cast aside its traditional role of maintaining balance through production cuts. Instead it pursued a strategy of fighting for market share, contributing to an immediate rout in oil prices. WTI and Brent then went on to dive below $50 in the weeks following OPEC's decision.

By: The_Gold_Report
Do you have wealth insurance? Tocqueville Gold Fund Portfolio Manager John Hathaway has studied the past and he sees a bright future for those who have taken the precaution of protecting themselves from the downside of a general bear market by buying resource mining stocks when they are at historic low prices. In this interview with The Gold Report, Hathaway shares the names the fund is holding as ammunition for a better gold market.
The Gold Report: John, you have studied the fundamentals of gold through history. What is behind the current market prices, and what will it take to move prices higher again?

Precious Metals Starting To Produce Some Winners / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2015
By: John_Rubino
Everybody who’s owned gold and silver mining shares through a couple of cycles has their favorite story of the stock that took off and ran away. There was Glamis Gold, which rose from $1 to $40 in the space of a few years before selling out to Goldcorp. And Silver Wheaton, which soared from $3.45 in 2008 to over $40 in 2011. And many, many more.

Big News This Week on the Fed, Debt Ceiling, and Physical Silver Premiums / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: MoneyMetals
Clint Siegner writes: Gold and silver spot prices lost ground to a strengthening U.S. dollar last week. The dollar enjoyed its best week in 5 months, as other major world currencies weakened. European central bankers are once again hinting at more stimulus, and the Chinese government cut interest rates for the 6th time in the past year.

Gold and Silver Charge of the Light Brigade / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: Jesse
Gold and silver were hit by paper contract selling this morning and the US dollar caught a bid higher.
The only delivery action in The Bucket Shop was another house to house account delivery of gold from Nova Scotia to JPM.
Someone who owned gold bullion in the Nova warehouse put it up for delivery. I wonder who that could be.

Gold And Silver – Elite’s NWO Secretly Operates In The Open / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: Michael_Noonan
There are far bigger concerns about which Americans remain woefully unaware, even within the Precious Metals community. How much demand there is for silver coins, how low is the supply for silver in contradistinction to an insatiable demand, China supposedly to set the price for physical gold to reflect reality once the Shanghai gold exchange got up and running, which it has been, etc, etc, etc, are not the most relevant factors, right now.
Almost all of the so-called PM experts/bloggers who report detailed information, and many available articles on the web focused on gold and silver, have collectively been untimely as to expectations in the ‘meteoric’ rise in prices that are supposed to reflect the realities of actual supply and demand. China will not be the country [even including the BRICS nations collectively] to rescue gold from the fiat-driven Western global elites who do whatever possible to make gold economically irrelevant on the world economic stage.

GDXJ, GDX Gold Miners Holding Gains in Bullish Fashion / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2015
By: Jordan_Roy_Byrne
We published a video update a few days ago discussing the short-term outlook for the precious metals sector which includes the gold miners. With regards to the miners, we took the view that they could digest recent gains and hold support or break lower and trade close to the support near summer lows. After this week and today especially, one scenario is more likely.
