Until this week, many of the trading days in January have been just another turn of the screw for beleaguered commodities investors. With prices falling and psychology dismal, countless bearish theories have taken root like weeds in the fertile pessimistic soil. The ranks of even the incorrigible commodities bulls have thinned.

Don't whisper it too loudly, but gold suddenly seems all-too popular. Both the Times and the Telegraph in London just ran bullish reports on gold. The Financial Times notes that institutional money has a "growing love affair with the metal..." Full Story |

Before embarking upon another assault against the liquidity forces that be, it is worth recognizing that the remaining bears in this world have done well despite the fact that their macro beliefs have proven untimely. To be sure, ‘bears’ (or value investors) that purchased select stocks during the current bull market have produced acceptable returns, bears with precious metals exposure since the 2003 liquidity-fest started have done exceptional, and bears that reduced their exposure to the U.S. dollar along the way have outright thrived.

Take the energy story away, and the copper story away, and one might suspect we have witnessed a sleepy precious metals market this autumn and winter. Gold did lose its momentum seen from the autumn high just over $650. Silver did lose its momentum seen from the autumn high just over $14. The strong gold season did not arrive, to the surprise of some analysts. Full Story |

Gold remained near unchanged in Asia and rose about $5 to above $650 in London and early New York trade, but it then fell off a bit into the close and ended with a gain of just 0.19%. Silver rose up to about $13.50 before it also fell off into the close, but it still ended with a respectable gain of 1.37%. Full Story |

Gold and silver are pushing higher. In spite of this however, precious metals shares continue to lag, as investors anticipate the rally to be temporal. This means the precious metal share to metals ratios are not pushing higher, characteristically signaling an end to the rally is neigh. What’s worse, it appears investors are bound and determined to break precious metals shares down, as evidenced by the fact ratios are on key ‘triangle related support’. Full Story |

Gold traded slightly lower in Asia and London before it furthered its losses in midmorning New York trade and dropped to as low as $638.70 at one point, but it then rallied higher for the rest of trade and ended just off its high of the day with a gain of 0.34%. Silver dropped to as low as $13.01 before it also rebounded into the close and ended with a gain of 0.23%. Full Story |

Greg, if there was one number I should be watching, if I only have enough time to follow 1 market, what should that be? Answer: I’d say watch 10-Yr US Treasury Bonds! It is well documented that asset markets are underpinned by a mountain of debt. That debt has a cost, and that cost is impacted by the interest rate on 10yr money. Any increase in the cost of debt will have a domino effect on all capital markets. Full Story |

Gold’s rally since the beginning of 2007 is most encouraging, but how can bulls be sure they won’t get sucker-punched yet again if they climb aboard at current levels? Using judicious trailing stops and nailing down partial profits is an obvious answer. But another is to pay close attention to each rally leg, noting in particular how many prior peaks it has surpassed on the daily chart. Below, I have reproduced a daily-bar graph of Comex April Gold that shows five such peaks that will dictate our analysis in the weeks and months ahead. Full Story |

Fund buying and technical break out apart from a weaker a US dollar and higher crude oil prices resulted in gold and silver edging higher. Oil rose after the U.S. announced plans to double the US’ emergency oil reserve to 1.5 billion barrels by 2027. Full Story |

In an age when ruling parties of every political stripe manipulate data to promote their own self interests, there is also strong universal cynicism towards government statistics on inflation. It is natural for official inflation data to be wildly at odds with the realities of the marketplace, and regarded with utter disbelief. Nowhere on Earth is there more skepticism about inflation data than in Japan, especially after Tokyo’s financial warlords rigged the core CPI last August, and shaved 0.4% off the official inflation stats with the stroke of a pen.

Subtle but important changes in recent days have substantially increased the chances of upside breakouts by gold and silver. The situation is now very finely balanced with an army of traders either sat on the fence, or, depending on which way it breaks, on the wrong side of the trade. When it does break out - and it is beginning to look like it will be to the upside, there will be a stampede and an upside breakout from here could thus easily involve a $20 - $30 up day for gold.

Earlier in today's report we speculated that the Fed Funds Rate would be unchanged during the first half of this year and then fall by more than the market is presently expecting during the second half. The question we now want to address is: if things pan out in this way on the interest rate front, will the stock market be a beneficiary? Full Story |

It’s the carry traders that are dictating gold and silver prices at the moment in the absence of lack of major market moving news. The dollar is finding some support from the reversal in oil prices, but until crude makes another run for the $50 a barrel level, the impact may be limited. Full Story |

Gold remained near unchanged in Asia, fell a couple of dollars in London, and dropped to as low as $632.60 in early New York trade before it rose near $640 by about 10Am EST, but it then fell back off into the close and ended near its lows with a loss of 0.31%. Silver fell to $12.72 before it rallied to about $13.10, but it also fell off into the close and ended with a gain of just 0.47%. Full Story |

Oil is priced in the U.S. $, which makes it one of the vital interests of the U.S. Without this backing to the $ we have no doubt the path of the $ to the global reserve currency would have been impaired and be undergoing a major attack by now. The thought of oil being priced in currencies other than the $ poses a threat to the credibility of the U.S.$ of major proportions. Full Story |

Scared about current bearish sentiment in gold and its shares? Sold your gold shares recently? Well, not so clever since the gold shares are dirt cheap these days and as the saying goes, ‘buy low and sell high’. So investors selling their gold shares into weakness lately did so because of fear not because of fundamental reasons. Sure enough that fear has been boosted lately by analysts calling for a top in the commodity bull and extrapolating that bearishness into the precious metals sector. Full Story |

Gold has been in a corrective pattern since the May 2006 peak, attempting to build a base in anticipation of the resumption of the bull market. Now finally, Gold appears ready to resume the up trend with clear technical indicators signaling a breakout is imminent. Full Story |

There were an inordinate amount of financial statements and reports buzzing about this past week. It seemed as if everyone had something to say about the markets or the economy. Jim Rogers sated that oil will eventually change its present downward corrections and reverse upwards with $100 per barrel the projected price. Most of the verbosity came from the Federal Reserve itself. Several different central bankers gave speeches or statements, saying that the economy was on firm footing and solid ground. BUT, they remained concerned and cautious over credit risk and debt accumulation (which well they should be). Full Story |

The US dollar failed to find any buyers last week despite some positive economic numbers from US last week. Interest rate differentials is affecting every currency. Full Story |

I talked a couple of weeks back about how silver could be used to leverage the price of gold but what about silver mining stocks leveraging the price of silver? In that previous article a four-year rolling leverage of silver over gold was calculated to show how silver either out-performed or under-performed gold as bull markets waxed and waned. Applying the same principles, we have the following 4-year leverages for the mining companies that make up The Silver Analyst Stock Composite Index. Full Story |

From hitting a Ratio high of over 46 in late 2003, the number of silver ounces to "buy" the HUI has now hit its lower channel bottom of 24. In silver terms, the HUI has never been cheaper since 2001 when the Ratio was 10, and silver was on life support and being given last rites. Only in 2002 has the Ratio been lower at 20ish. Gold stocks are cheap. Full Story |
