Gold Price Still On The Launching Pad / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
I last wrote about gold on April 30, 2009. In that article, I stated that gold was on the launching pad. Something big was going to happen. Gold had consolidated into a range that would lead to a breakout or a breakdown. The only problem I had no idea what direction gold was going.

Gold Price Set to Double This Fall / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
Gold was, is, and always will be THE ultimate storehouse of value. Mankind was prizing this stuff during the prehistoric period, long before the concept of stocks, mutual funds, or paper money even existed.
Now, I know what you’re thinking, “gold has already risen from $250 to $900 an ounce, how much higher can it go?”

Constructive Bullish Pattern for GDX / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
The weaker dollar, stronger gold, and continued strength of the stock indices has propelled the Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (NYSE: GDX) to new, multi-month recovery highs. After selling off late yesterday in sympathy with the overall stock averages, today the GDX is up in sympathy with the climb in the equity futures as well as because of the “bid” in both spot gold and Euro/$. My overall pattern work remains very constructive and points to a sustained upside breakout above 39.35 – on the way to 41.50-42.00 next. Only a decline that takes out 36.54 will begin to compromise the current chart set-up.

Gold Quietly Moving Towards $1,000 / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
As the dollar has faltered recently, gold speculators have been among the winners of this financial trend. Along with several major currencies, including the Pound and Euro, gold rates have trended higher since mid-to-late April as the Fed maintains a zero per cent funds rate, and the economy remains sluggish.

Gold Re-Tests $930 as U.S. Dollar Falls / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
THE PRICE OF GOLD pushed 0.5% higher early Wednesday in London, nearing last Friday's seven-week highs as world stock markets trod water despite a flood of record-bad economic data.
Re-testing a break above $930 an ounce for the third time in four sessions, the Gold Price failed to hold £600 or €680 for UK and Euro investors, however, as the US Dollar fell hard on the currency markets.

SLV Silver ETF Chart Points to Another Upmove / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
Today’s strength in the iShares Silver Trust ETF (NYSE: SLV) argues that all of the action from the May 12 rally peak at 14.06 to yesterday’s low at 13.42 represents a completed pullback within the upleg that started after the April 17 low at 11.64. My overall work in the SLV points to another upmove (that likely started today) that should hurdle key resistance at the prior high (14.06) on the way to an assault on the February high of 14.45.

Deflation Runs into the Brick Wall of Chinese Agri-Foods Inflation / Commodities / Agricultural Commodities
The road to deflation was a short one. It ran smack into reality. That reality is that the rest of the world does exist, and that North America is not the center of tomorrow's universe. The bursting of the credit fed hedge fund mania did yes hurt all markets. But, some of those markets are again being influenced by their structural, and longer term, dynamics. That China has not collapsed into a recession anywhere near the magnitude experienced by Western economies must come as a shock to many economists and strategists. They were wrong. That they do not understand the secular dynamics at play in Asia is now fairly obvious. In tomorrow's economic world, North America is slowly becoming a side show.
