- Tuesday, April 16, 7:02 AM After continuing to slide sharply early in overnight trade, gold is bouncing, +1.8% to $1,388/oz. (it touched $1,322 at its low point). Silver +0.6% to $23.50 after dropping as low as $22.01. GLD +2.5%, SLV +3.4% premarket. 6 Comments [On the Move, Commodities]
- Monday, April 15, 6:50 PM Felix Salmon hopes gold "will continue to fall, that goldbugs will look increasingly silly, and that as a result Americans with savings will conclude that the best thing to do with those savings is to put them to work in a productive manner" - out of fear-based assets like gold, Treasurys and cash and into greed-based assets like stocks and bank loans so more money flows through the economy. 35 Comments [Commodities]
- Monday, April 15, 5:58 PM "This may be the correction gold needs," Jim Rogers says, but it hasn't dropped enough yet for him to be a buyer. Rogers sees four factors behind gold's selloff: India hiked its gold import tax rate by 50% to 6% at the start of the year, curbing demand; Cyprus possibly needing to sell gold to pay its debts; chart analysis; and Bitcoin's collapse, "since most of them also own gold." 4 Comments [Commodities]
- Monday, April 15, 3:15 PM Don't sell into the current weakness, Wells Fargo tells gold investors; instead, use any eventual price rebound to reduce exposure to gold, silver and precious metals to no more than 2% of portfolio value. And some traders see a rebound coming. Market data has front-month at-the-money calls priced ~$5.45/contract on the SPDR Gold Trust (GLD -8.5%) vs. at-the-money puts going for ~$4.95. 8 Comments [Commodities, Quick Ideas]
- Monday, April 15, 11:40 AM Maybe it’s no coincidence gold’s massive selloff is taking place on the same day U.S. tax returns are due, Marketfield's Michael Shaoul surmises, pointing to the need to raise cash to pay substantial capital gains due at tax filing. If sellers waited until the last day, it might have sparked selling pressure to plunge through key support at $1520; at that point, "a substantial wave of panicky selling was always likely to take place." 18 Comments [Commodities, Quick Ideas]
- Monday, April 15, 10:25 AM "OK, so I made a bad call at the Barron's roundtable," tweets Bill Gross. "I would still buy gold here. World reflating." After a morning bounce, gold has returned to the session low at $1,388/oz. GLD -6.7%. 25 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
- Monday, April 15, 5:03 AM Mining stocks are taking a bit of a hiding following China's slowing GDP growth and the sell-off in precious metals. Rio Tinto (RIO) -4.5% premarket, BHP Billiton (BHP) -3.6%, Barrick Gold (ABX) -3.6%, AngloGold (AU) -5.2%, IAMGold (IAG) -1.2%, Gold Fields (GFI) -5%, Goldcorp (GG) -3.9%, Kinross (KGC) -5.1%, Seabridge Gold (SA) -2.8%, Newmont Mining (NEM) -3.4%, Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold (FCX) -2.85% and Anglo American (AAUKF.PK) -3.9% in London. NovaGold (NG) fell 13% on Friday. 3 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
- Monday, April 15, 5:01 AM Gold futures leg down to $1,401, -6.1%. Silver -9.8% to $23.74. ETFs to watch: GLD, IAU, DGP, SGOL, UGL, PHYS, AGOL, DGL, UBG, DZZ, GLL, DGZ, UGLD, DGLD, DBP, GLDI, GDX, GDXJ, NUGT, AGQ, GLDX, PSAU, DUST, GGGG, RING, SLV, PSLV, SIVR, ZSL, DBS, USV, USLV, DSLV, SILJ, SIL, SLVP. 2 Comments [Breaking News, Commodities, On the Move]
- Monday, April 15, 4:20 AM A number of reasons have been given for gold's (GLD) sudden free-fall, chief among them the ECB's pressurization of Cyprus' central bank to sell its gold reserves to help pay for the country's bailout. That has raised expectations that other distressed eurozone members might be forced to sell gold as well. Other factors include bearish forecasts such as from Goldman Sachs, the slow improvement in the U.S. economy, and the perception that gold is no longer needed as a safe haven. Gold -4.1% and silver -7.4%. 15 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
- Sunday, April 14, 11:06 PM Precious metals continue to sell off sharply, gold (GLD) -4% to $1,440/oz., the lowest level in about 2 years. Off 6.7% to $24.58, silver's (SLV) back to fall 2010 levels. 50 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
- Sunday, April 14, 7:51 AM Notwithstanding Friday's implosion, Barron's Randall Forsyth says gold looks undervalued, and pitches the precious metal as the anti-bitcoin: "It is incongruous that gold - money that can't be printed, just minted - would enter a bear market Friday." Calafia Beach Pundit disagrees. His next target for gold: $1,000. 36 Comments [Commodities]
- Friday, April 12, 2:27 PM Goldman's short call on gold looks prescient, as comex gold sinks $63.50 to settle at $1,501.40/oz. for its lowest close since July 2011. Traders and analysts see no obvious trigger for the selloff, which seems to reflect the malaise that has gripped the market. Silver slips $1.37 to $26.33/oz. Miners are huge losers: HMY -7.5%, ABX -7.3%, AEM -6.9%, AUY -6.2%, SLW -5.6%, NEM -5.2%, EGO -4.9%, GFI -4.8%, GG -4.5%. 38 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
- Friday, April 12, 12:50 PM Gold miners (GDX -4.5%) are getting destroyed as gold prices cross into bear territory. Capitulation, if it’s here, would mean a true bottom in price, and Tocqueville Gold Fund's John Hathaway says that's what we’re approaching; he sees strong macro fundamentals for gold, investor sentiment at a negative extreme and compelling valuations in mining shares - "a contrarian's dream scenario." 18 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
- Friday, April 12, 8:54 AM The gold bear market/correction continues with the metal sliding to $1,537/oz., the lowest since last summer. Looking at a longer-term chart, gold has bounced off the low-mid $1,500 level a few times over the last 18 months. A drop below that would break what the technicians like to call "long-term support." The pattern in silver is similar. GLD -1.6%, SLV -2.2% premarket. 12 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
- Thursday, April 11, 11:18 AM Gold doesn't have many friends left, but Julian Jessop, head of commodities research at Capital Economics, still sees "plenty of upside" with gold possibly hitting $2,000/oz. Worries about the Fed curbing its bond-buying efforts earlier than expected as well as Cyprus being the first eurozone country forced to sell its gold reserves are both overblown, he says. 21 Comments [Commodities, Quick Ideas]
- Wednesday, April 10, 2:04 PM Gold futures fell nearly $28/oz. in their biggest one-day percentage loss since November following the surprise early release of the FOMC Minutes and Goldman's cut of gold forecasts through 2014; a stronger dollar index also weighed. Goldman says gold could fall faster and larger than its forecast if ETF owners keep exiting, which is happening today: GLD -1.5%, IAU -1.5%, GDX -3.2%. 9 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
