- Friday, February 22, 9:19 AM Outflows from the GLD hit $1B in January and have accelerated in February, now summing to $3.1B YTD. Bulls may take heart - the last time the GLD suffered outflows was mid-summer 2012, just ahead of a big rally in gold prices. AUM in GLD was $72B at January's end. 27 Comments [Commodities]
- Thursday, February 21, 5:25 PM CIBC economists believe many of the forces that made gold so attractive appear to be turning over, while expectations for other supportive factors are overdone. They say investors have piled into gold as a hedge by incorrectly buying into the myth that central banks have been printing so much money that inflation is inevitable, "a myth because, in reality, money growth has not been particularly brisk." 23 Comments [Commodities]
- Thursday, February 21, 10:31 AM Warming up to the idea FOMC hawkishness may be getting ahead of itself, precious metals reverse course. Gold's now up $26 from the overnight low, GLD +1%. SLV +0.7%. The dollar, however, continues to strengthen, UUP +0.3%. 7 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
- Thursday, February 21, 7:26 AM Nice. Gold is downgraded at Credit Suisse, which cuts its price target to $1,600. One month ago, the bank saw gold at $1,750 in the short-term and $1,800 over the new year. GLD +0.6% premarket. 14 Comments [Commodities]
- Wednesday, February 20, 2:19 PM Stocks remain lower following the more hawkish tone from the FOMC, with a benign loss in the Dow masking more substantial drops in the S&P (-0.5%) and the Nasdaq (-0.7%). Gold (GLD -2.2%) and silver (SLV -3%) leg down to new lows for the session. Bond prices fell on the release, but have now turned positive, TLT +0.1%. 3 Comments
- Wednesday, February 20, 11:28 AM Non-agricultural commodities sell off sharply across the board. GLD -1.4%, SLV -2.3%, USO -2%, JJC -1.1%. Lumber futures -2.5%. Chatter circulates of a troubled hedge fund being forced to exit. Broad commodity ETF: DBC -0.9%. 10 Comments [Commodities]
- Wednesday, February 20, 7:58 AM Gold falls to its lowest level since August, now at $1,591 and off more than 11% since the heady post-QE∞ announcement days. The move is more of a blip on a longer-term chart and the metal is basically flat since summer 2011. GLD -0.8% premarket. 9 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
- Friday, February 15, 12:35 PM Gold's now in a clear downtrend, taking out new technical lows, hit by (3-month old) news big names are selling, and now the chart's starting to form the dreaded "death cross." All the gold bugs need for a perfect bullish setup would be Paul Krugman taking to the air to declare victory for all he believes ... check. GLD -1.7%. 43 Comments [Commodities, On the Move, Quick Ideas]
- Friday, February 15, 11:36 AM The sight of big name managers dumping gold likely augurs badly for its near-term prospects, as such notables as George Soros, Julian Robertson and Pimco reduced their bets on gold during Q4, when bullion posted its biggest quarterly loss in more than four years. The price of gold is down nearly 2% today, and has dropped 6% since the end of November. (also) 35 Comments [Commodities]
- Friday, February 15, 8:22 AM More from the G-20: Speaking now, IMF chief Lagarde calls the euro's strength a welcome policy development (welcome? EU exports to China are diving). Talk of currency wars is overblown, and she sees no major deviation from the fair value of major currencies. Gold isn't liking all of this feel-good talk, hitting a 6-month low of $1,626/oz. GLD -0.8% premarket. 12 Comments [Global & FX, Breaking News, Commodities]
- Thursday, February 14, 11:59 AM Notoriously poor market-timers, the central banks purchased 534.6 tons of gold in 2012, according to the World Gold Council. It's the largest amount the banks - last seen unloading their gold at less than $500/oz. - have bought since 1964. 20 Comments [Commodities]
- Thursday, February 14, 11:04 AM Slowing gold demand may be about to get a catalyst to reignite, with the World Gold Council predicting China will launch a physically-backed gold ETF this year. A dream of goldbugs for years, the new product's launch has been paved by recent regulatory changes in the country, says the WGC. 4 Comments [Commodities]
- Monday, February 11, 9:31 AM Precious metals go into the tank on chatter the G-7 is set to issue a statement in which all will pledge to get along with regards to currency devaluation. The G-20 meets in Moscow at week's end. GLD -1.2%, SLV -1.5%. 37 Comments [Commodities, Global & FX]
- Friday, February 8, 8:18 AM The CME cuts the initial margin for gold (GLD) to $5,940 from $6,600 and silver (SLV) to $10,450 from $12,100. Maintenance margins are cut by a similar ratio for both metals as well. 18 Comments [Commodities]
- Thursday, February 7, 9:30 AM Dealing a blow to precious metals, the Chicago Fed's Charles Evans - as dovish as they come - tells CNBC QE could end before unemployment sinks to 7%. As for the 6.5% unemployment rate that might trigger rate hikes, Evans doesn't see that happening until mid-2015. GLD -0.7%, SLV -1.5% premarket. The dollar gets a bid as well, UUP +0.4% premarket. 21 Comments [Commodities, Global & FX, On the Move]
- Wednesday, February 6, 12:18 PM China may have already overtaken India as the world's biggest buyer of gold, says Commerzbank, looking over a report of imports tripling Y/Y to 114 tons in December. Assuming China produced 400 tons in last year, total Chinese demand would have been 950 tons - pushing it ahead of India. 2 Comments [Commodities]
