By: Dian_L_Chu
Since the start of the New Year, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil have been moving with significant bearish sentiment (See Chart) mostly on a lot of profit taking going around in the commodity space, and also on concerns over the high inventory and that supplies would exceed demand. The latest jobs report only further fanned the pessimism.

Three Energy Charts That Should Scare the Bejeezus Out of You / Commodities / Crude Oil
By: Sean_Brodrick
After surging into the end of the year, oil and oil stocks have pulled back. Why?
• It’s certainly not global economic fundamentals, which are improving, with car sales rising and unemployment dropping.
• It’s not oil inventories — U.S. oil stockpiles dropped 20 million barrels in a recent one-month period.

Will the Gold Rally Last? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Merv_Burak
It seems that gold puts on a rally of sorts at the end of the year. The big question always is “will it last?” It seems that this year it may not last but the action is still not all that bearish so there is hope that the down side will be short.

Gold Bottom or Breakdown? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Przemyslaw_Radomski
This past week we saw gold have its biggest two-day drop since February of last year ending the third longest streak of trading above its 50-day that the yellow metal has had since 2000. The first streak ended in 2002 with 124 trading days and the second in 2008 with 143 trading days. No bull market goes up in a straight line.

Will Gold, the Dollar or the Euro Collapse? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Julian_DW_Phillips
Right now, the markets have pulled gold back in the face of what seemed to be an upward turn in the U.S. economy. Many may feel this is the time to sell gold. The growing Eurozone debt crises could spell the end of the euro as we know it. The debt problems of the U.S. are worse than Europe so it is a time to ask, "Will these three forms of money collapse?"

Real Silver Highs / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Zeal_LLC
Thanks to its awesome autumn rally, silver has become something of a rock star in the commodities world. Investors and speculators alike are enthralled with this white metal. But with it just hitting new 30-year highs, many on Wall Street suspect silver is stretching to bull-ending extremes. However once silver’s modern history is recast into real inflation-adjusted terms, this metal’s secular bull is still looking young.

The Gold Bull Market – Two out of Three Ain’t Bad / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Rory_Gillen
The gold bull market, which started from a low of $255 an ounce in early 2001, looks as strong as ever after hitting a new high price of $1,420 an ounce in late December last. In the initial years, gold’s rise had more to do with it being a cheap asset following a 20-year bear market through the 1980s and 1990s. More lately, its strength reflects deep-seated investor concerns regarding ongoing global monetary instability which has been created by persistent global trade imbalances, quantitative easing and the intervention by central banks to weaken their own currencies, of which Japan is the latest example.

Consolidation in Precious Metals – Range-bound Gold-Silver Ratio / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Mike_Stall
Having dwelt a lot on the topic of the gold:silver ratio from a technical and quantitative standpoint in our earlier essays, it is about time we examined the ratio fundamentally. In the strictest sense of mean reversion, the ratio between gold and silver should follow a straight line over time. However, as observed in the previous article, the ratio not only has a wide range but also fluctuates between extremes. This means that the prices of gold and silver are perceived differently in different market conditions and a concept of mean reversion is not enough to interpret the gold:silver ratio.

By: Chris_Vermeulen
This has been an interesting week for traders and investors as precious metals melt down on the back of a rising dollar.

Once the earnings start to be released we should see the market get sold on the good numbers and retail traders will buy into the good numbers as the smart money selling their shares while there is liquidity in the market.
