Why The COMEX Is Corrupt / Commodities / Market Manipulation
By: GoldSilverWorlds
It is one thing to label the world’s most important precious metals exchange as the most corrupt; but perhaps quite another to prove it in terms beyond reasonable doubt. First, let me be clear in what I am asserting – the Commodities Exchange Inc. (COMEX), owned and operated by the CME Group, has come to control and manipulate the price of gold and silver, as well as copper, for the sole benefit of certain exchange insiders, most prominently JPMorgan.

Trading the Ratios and Swapping Gold for Silver / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis
Primary gold investors versus silver investors are not exactly alike.
Swapping gold for silver is a trade always worth considering, especially when the ratio blows out as wide as it is now. Portability is one obvious reason for the reverse, as long as premiums match up in the transaction. But the main advantage to this kind of swap is that silver almost always tends to cover more ground percentage-wiser and faster when it is allowed to move in a significant way.

Gold and Silver Price Building a Base / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: Alasdair_Macleod
It is three weeks since the managed money category on Comex placed their biggest bet ever recorded in recent times that silver was going lower, and also bet big-time that gold would sink below $1200. As is often the case when traders are so commonly committed to a price outcome they end up nursing some painful losses.

Gold Miners Nearing Strong Monthly and Quarterly Close / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2014
By: Jordan_Roy_Byrne
The gold and silver miners have cooled off in recent days after a red-hot start to the summer. Could this cool off be the start of another move lower or a pause before another leg higher?
We continue to be bullish and a new reason is the sudden strength in the monthly and even quarterly charts. For larger or developing trends, monthly charts supersede weekly charts, which supersede daily charts. With only two days left, the gold and silver miners are poised to end the month and quarter with their strength intact.

Why Gasoline Prices Are Headed to $4 Per Gallon / Commodities / Gas - Petrol
By: Money_Morning
Dr. Kent Moors writes: Futures prices for both crude and gasoline were down yesterday. Unfortunately, that barely tells the real story.
So, enjoy the respite while it lasts.
Thanks to the growing Sunni insurrection and the rapid unraveling of the Shiite government in Baghdad, you can bet that prices for both crude and gasoline will be making the headlines over the next two months.

A Cold Hard Look at The Big Cap Precious Metals Stock Charts / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2014
By: Rambus_Chartology
In today’s report I would like to take a good hard unbiased look at some of the big cap precious metals stocks that have been in rally mode since the first of June. This rally has been pretty impressive so far but is it the real thing? Last night I showed you some charts on the GDM going from the 60 minute short term look to a year and a half look that showed the two big patterns we have in place right now, the falling flag and the inverse H&S bottom. Tonight I would like to follow up with some big cap PM stocks, on the 60 minute chart and the bigger long term chart charts, that have their own respective year long trading ranges.

Inane Bloomberg - Yellen's Fading Gold Rally / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: Mike_Shedlock
Bad economic analysis abounds. Some of it is so bad you wonder if the authors understand how any markets work, not just the topic of discussion.
For example, please consider Gold Euphoria Won’t Last With Yellen’s Rally Fading, a truly remarkable exercise because it took three Bloomberg writers to produce.

The Palladium Bull Run is Underway / Commodities / Palladium
By: Submissions
David H. Smith writes: A precious metal which has over 80% of its annual production coming from just two countries? Considerably rarer than its cousin, platinum – known by the Spanish Conquistadors as “little silver” - yet sells for a bit more than half as much? Like silver, a “two-doors” metal with both vital industrial applications and increasing investor interest? And like these metals, it can be bought and sold by investors in the form of bullion coins and ingots? That metal is palladium.

NAV Premiums of Certain Precious Metal Trusts and Funds - Silver Holds Its Level / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: Jesse
There is little question that a major short interest position in silver that had built up in the first part of this year was taken out and pummeled by the power players in the market. Gold was also oversold on paper, but not to the extent of silver.
Today is a quiet options expiration so far, probably because of this. The urge to sell silver by going short has been tempered by the beating administered to those who went a bit too far in their antics.

Is Silver the Cure for Silver Prices? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: Bob_Kirtley
Background
There are a numerous contributing factors to be taken into consideration before making an investment in silver such as: supply and demand, industrial usage including solar panels, decorative jewelry, and short and long trading opportunities, price manipulation, various metrics such as silvers relationship to gold, the DOW Industrial Index, etc. The list of uses is huge and growing, so today we will look at just one of them which we think is important; the medical uses of silver.

Crude Oil Price Turns Sharply Lower / Commodities / Crude Oil
By: Gregor_Horvat
Crude oil has turned sharply lower yesterday, from a new high. A decline on 15min chart can be counted as an impulse, so we think that top has been reached and that price will continue to the south. With that said, keep an eye on any three wave rally back to 106.20-106.40 from where downtrend could resume. 107.34 is now short-term critical resistance, as long this one holds we will be looking down.

Gold Price - Ah, the Power of Mean Reversion / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: Frank_Holmes
The chatter last week was gold. The precious metal flew up $45 an ounce on Thursday, surprising investors, the media and markets alike.
If we look back just six months ago, gold was sitting at record lows, signaling that it was in extremely oversold territory. This was the time that many investors let fear take over and dismissed the fundamental reasons for owning gold: as a portfolio diversifier and store of value.

Few Believe Gold Price Can Shine / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: Submissions
Bob Loukas writes: Considering that Gold has risen $80 off its low and the precious metals Miners have screamed higher, it's surprising how little bullish cheering we've heard. My discussion forum, Bull & Bear Talk, is very sensitive to Gold, but has barely seen an uptick in traffic during this move. In past moves out of Investor Cycle Lows, Bull and Bear Talk has had an immediate surge in traffic and a significant rise in the number of excited posts.

Crude Oil Price Higher Short-Term, Lower Longer-Term? / Commodities / Crude Oil
By: Nadia_Simmons
On Friday, crude oil gained 0.54% as ongoing worries over the potential of supply disruptions from Iraq continued to weigh on the price. As a result, light crude climbed above the resistance line, invalidating earlier breakdown. Will this bullish factor trigger further improvement in the short term?

Silver Fix - An Old Institution Dies… and a New Bull Market Is Born / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: Money_Morning
Peter Krauth writes: After 117 years, the current London Silver Fix is shutting down.
In fact, we know it's going to happen on August 14th for certain.
Free marketeers are excited; for years many have maintained that silver prices are being manipulated.
