How China became the '800-Pound' Gorilla in the Gold Market / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Money_Morning
Don Miller writes: With prices testing their record high of $1,033 an ounce set last year gold has again become the hot topic of conversation.
But while many analysts are focusing on threat of inflation - which could be a byproduct of the U.S. Federal Reserve's reluctance to withdraw monetary stimulus - investors should really be watching China.

Silver Remains a Contrarian's Dream With Negative or No Media Coverage and No Public Involvement / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: GoldCore
The dollar fell sharply against most currencies yesterday and gold was strong in all currencies and held above $1,015/oz for most of the day. Both the London AM and PM fixes were higher from the day both in euro and pound terms (21-Sep-09 AM $999.25,£618.233, €681.756, PM $997.00,£616.307, €680.871 and 22-Sep-09 AM $1015.75,£622.396, €686.550 PM $1,014.00,£620.639, €686.109 - http://www.lbma.org.uk/?area=stats&page=gold/2009dailygold). Thus, while the pound and dollar have fallen against the euro, they have fallen by even more against gold.

Gold $1,500 This Year / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: The_Gold_Report
Post summer doldrums, we're now beginning to see a nice fall run up in the price of gold—one that marks the beginning of a parabolic move, according to Greg McCoach. The seasoned bullion dealer, investor and newsletter writer sees a number of factors culminating in ever-increasing prices going forward. In this exclusive interview with The Gold Report, Greg reveals current and forthcoming events that will continue driving the yellow metal's price northward. . .not the least of which involves the commercial real estate market and its "associated derivative sewage."

Gold, GLD ETF 100 Barrier / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Mike_Paulenoff
The most salient feature of the hourly chart of the SPDR Gold Shares (NYSE: GLD) is that despite today’s up-gap opening and climb above 100, the bulls were – and still are – not able to sustain above the key 100 level. As of this moment, with the GLD at 99.43 and the huge unfilled gap area (down to 98.57) remaining on the downside, let’s watch closely to see if the price structure can leave the unfilled gap behind and instead revisit and hold the 100 area prior to or into the close. Such a scenario would be very constructive action and will point prices still higher in the hours ahead. Conversely, inability of the GLD to rally will be a sign of relative weakness that will point to the 98.50 area by default.

The Reason Why Gold Hasn't Skyrocketed / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: INO
With the printing presses in full printing mode, many people are questioning why gold prices haven't gone higher - much higher.
In my new video, I explain some of the subtle market cycles that are at play right now in this market. These short-term cycles have been the dominant force in gold all year and appear to be still in control of price action.

Gold to Remain Strong on Global Inflation and Stagflation Risk / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: GoldCore
Gold pulled back slightly yesterday on profit taking and a firmer dollar. However, gold stubbornly refused to budge from the $1,000/oz price level and pushed back through that level last night as the dollar fell again. Gold's fundamentals remain very sound and yet most analysts remain bearish and much of the media has greeted gold's near record highs with tremendous scepticism. These are classic signs of a long term secular bull market as gold continues to climb the "wall of worry".Read full article... Read full article...

Speaking Silver’s Language / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: LewRockwell
Richard Daughty writes: Everybody knows that I can always be counted on to go ballistic about silver being such a Screaming Freaking Bargain (SFB) because of (according to the most recent Official Mogambo Count (OMC)) more than a dozen very good reasons, which is a lot of reasons, and that at $17-and-change per ounce, silver is loudly saying, “Buy me! Buy me!” although obviously not in the literal sense, nor (perhaps less obviously) in the “voices in my head” sense, which shows I am responding to therapy and why everybody is so pleased with me.

China Wealth Expansion Driving Agri-Food's Mega-trend / Commodities / Agricultural Commodities
By: Ned_W_Schmidt
Bump and grind economic numbers might suggest that the Western economies, including the U.S., have seen the worst of the economic slide. Despite that appearance of an economic bottom, that the economic policies of the Obama Regime are a failure, and will continue to be a failure, is now increasingly obvious. When nations like China and India are demonstrating superior economic performance perhaps the time has come to either, one, jettison the bumbling economic policies of the Obama Regime, or, two, look elsewhere for opportunities.

Gold, The Big Score / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Howard_Katz
Well, here we are with the price of gold above $1,000. Since this is the day so many thought would never come, it is time for reflection. I have lived my life in a society in which most of the “experts” have been wrong over and over.
I was a gold bug in 1970, when gold was $35/oz. I turned bearish on gold Jan. 21, 1980, the day it hit its high of $875/oz. I became a stock bug in 1982 with the DJI at 780. Then I predicted Black Monday 1987. I turned bullish on gold again at the end of 2002 with the metal at $325. And I predicted a long term top in the stock market at the beginning of 2007.

The Quiet Grab for Global Natural Resources / Commodities / Resources Investing
By: Andy_Sutton
While all the hubbub here in the US has centered around abominations such as cash 4 clunkers, tax credits for buying homes, and the other machinations directed at returning the US to the blissful year of 2005, other portions of the world have taken notice and have been conducting some activities of their own. They have been locking down ever-growing stockpiles of critical basic materials needed to run their economies. These strategic moves have certainly not been done in secret, but given how we spend our intellectual energies here in America, they might as well have been. Leading the pack has been China, but there have certainly been others.

Australian Gold Stocks Exciting Performance / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Neil_Charnock
It has been a very exciting few weeks in the Australian Gold Sector since we announced a fresh break out. Before I go on I feel it is necessary to put this in context so I am providing a clear educational account of this event with perspective. Within the big picture this recent gold share price rise is only a small part of a follow through rally which commenced in the October to November lows of 2008. That period was in essence a “bear trap”.

Gold Dips Back to $1,000 / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Adrian_Ash
U.S. DOLLAR GOLD PRICES slipped further from last week's 18-month high at $1,024 an ounce early Monday, briefly dropping south of $1,000 as world stock markets also fell, losing almost 1% on average.
Crude oil sank to a one-week low near $70 per barrel, while the US Dollar bounced almost a cent against the Euro from last Thursday's 12-month lows.

IMF Gold Sales Hoovered up by Governments / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: GoldCore
As some strength returned to the beleaguered dollar overnight, the appetite for financial insurance in the form of gold waned slightly. Gold slipped as low as $995/oz in early morning trading but has rebounded to be currently trading just below $1000/oz. The news that the IMF are to sell over 400 tonnes of gold into the market was widely expected and therefore this news was largely priced in. Also, the sales will fall within the terms of the newly agreed Washington Agreement that limits central bank sales to 400T per year for the next five years.

Gold in a Beautiful Long-term Secular Bull Market / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Adam_Brochert
The short and intermediate-term future for Gold and any investment for that matter are tricky to navigate. I have guessed right and wrong many times on shorter-term moves. It seems that the best most investors can hope to do is identify the long-term secular bull market (i.e. the major bull market of the current 10-20 year period) that is in progress, buy into it, and hold on.

Gold and Silver Signs of a Top or Evidence of Strength? / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Przemyslaw_Radomski
This week the price of gold hovered above the $1000 level and managed to close above this important level, a very significant and optimistic development for anyone interested in the precious metals sector. But before we launch into euphoria and speed away, now might be a good time to look back into our rearview mirror.

Gold Above $1,000, Is this Time Different? / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Merv_Burak
Many speculators are getting all excited. Gold, above $1000, gee – that must mean the sky is now the limit. If only it was that easy. Above $1000, we’ve been there before. We’re there again. Who knows, maybe THIS TIME things will be different.
