Tuesday, June 18, 4:18 PM If you want a bullish take on gold (GLD), Ron Paul has one for you. Asked why the yellow metal hasn't performed very well of late, he says "markets do these kind of things … they go up and then they take a rest," but "if you look at the record since the Fed has been in existence, we have about a two cent dollar" and based on "about six thousand years of history" the prognosis for commodity money is pretty good. "As long as we have excessive computerized money … we're going to see gold go up." How far, you ask? "If we're not careful, to infinity," Paul warns. 25 Comments [Commodities]
Tuesday, June 18, 7:07 AM Gold (GLD, IAU) bulls may take comfort as Dennis Gartman jumps on the bearish bandwagon, calling the metal an "aging athlete" and "a broken commodity." The man who loved "stuff that hurts when you drop it on your foot" 2 years ago says the price is headed to $1K if $1.2K support is broken. HSBC's James Steel disagrees, seeing strong physical demand lifting the price to $1.6K in H2 and $2K in the longer term. 9 Comments [Commodities]
Monday, June 17, 7:01 AM Gold (GLD) could fall to $1,200 soon, says BAML metals strategist Michael Widmer, acknowledging strong physical demand but saying it's investor demand required to move prices higher. His team, however, is far more bullish for later this year, and sees the price retaking $1,700 by year's end. "There are a few scenarios we are looking at (for H2)." 11 Comments [Commodities]
Tuesday, June 11, 8:51 AM Outflows continue from the SPDR Gold Shares ETF (GLD), with investors yanking about $250M out during the week ended June 3. The fund has $45B AUM now compared to $72B at the year's start. In China, regulators have approved the launch of its first gold bullion ETFs. Physical gold demand in Asia is booming this year even as investor demand evaporates. The yellow metal's off 1.1% to $1,371/ounce. 20 Comments [Commodities]
Friday, June 7, 2:09 PM Gold miners large (GDX -4.1%) and small (GDXJ -5.3%) alike are suffering a beat-down after jobs data from both the U.S. and Canada beat estimates; gold's gains for the week are entirely erased, and the metal "could melt even faster" if the global recovery continues. ABX -4.2%, AEM -6.7%, NEM -2.8%, GG -4.5%, AU -5.5%, EGO -5%, KGC -5.3%. SLW -2.8%, SSRI -7.3%, EXK -5.9%. GLD -2%, SLV -4.1%. 39 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
Friday, June 7, 12:18 PM The kind of thing that never occurs at tops: Not pleased the poor performance of his gold fund (-47% YTD) is detracting from the good work at his other products, John Paulson will be mailing the gold fund's monthly figures separately and holding separate monthly conference calls. His firm will also stop broadly reporting the performance of the gold share class in its various funds (investors are allowed to own their stakes with gold instead of dollars). GLD -2.1%, SLV -3.8%. 12 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
Thursday, June 6, 3:03 PM A gold (GLD) investment not losing any ground since February is the RBS Gold Trendpilot ETN (TBAR) - which tracks the price of the metal until it deems a downtrend has begun, at which point it shifts to 90-day T-bills. Of course once gold gets its mojo back, TBAR will miss some of the upside, but it will have done its job at avoiding a big loss. Comment! [Commodities, Quick Ideas]
Thursday, June 6, 9:35 AM An interesting note on gold (GLD) from JPMorgan notes the curious disconnect between the futures and physical markets - where the price is at a record premia to spot in China and India, and the U.S. mint can't keep up with demand. In good news for miners (GDX) trying to control costs, reports from Australia speak of mining equipment makers offering discounts and lead times for trucks falling from 2 years to 2 weeks. 10 Comments [Commodities]
Tuesday, June 4, 1:01 PM Gold's (GLD -1.1%) back under $1,400 as the Reserve Bank of India clamps down further on speculative purchases by restricting import of the metal under a deferred payment plan. The restriction had previously only been applied to banks. The country likes gold, but produces very little, making it an important importer. 8 Comments [Commodities]
Saturday, June 1, 5:59 PM Gold will continue to trend toward $1,000 by 2015, Nouriel Roubini predicts. Key reasons: Credit crisis risks have subsided; inflation is under control despite QE; investors crave income-generating assets; the "return to the gold standard" argument is dead.

Friday, May 31, 7:59 AM Jim Rogers hasn't sold any of his gold (GLD, IAU), calling the metal's correction "overdue" and "encouraging" given its big 12-year run higher. "Until it scares a lot of people, the correction is not over." On the exit plan from QE: "Mr. Bernanke's exit plan apparently is that he is going to leave his job. He doesn't want to stick around for the hangover." 4 Comments [Commodities]
Thursday, May 30, 8:42 AM Marginally worse-than-expected news on jobless claims and Q1 GDP help Treasury prices erase part of their early losses, the 10-year yield now up just 1 basis point at 2.14%. TLT -0.15%. S&P 500 futures remain as they were, +0.3%. Gold has retaken the $1,400 level, GLD +0.8% premarket. 2 Comments
Wednesday, May 29, 8:09 AM Equity skittishness amid the bond rout has put a bid back into gold, the metal gaining 1% and nearing $1,400/ounce again. In the meantime, Asian demand from April to June will hit a quarterly record and take up the slack from ETF sales, according to the World Gold Council. Indian gold imports are expected at 350-400 tons, up 200% Y/Y. GLD +0.8% premarket. 4 Comments [Commodities]
Tuesday, May 28, 11:33 AM Central bank buying of gold (GLD, IAU) is but "a drop in the ocean" of investor sales of gold ETFs, says Commerzbank. The team says banks bought about 30 tons in April vs. 117 tons pulled out of ETFs thus far in May, and 290 tons in Q2. On a more bullish note, this chart shows gold's current move bears close resemblance to the1976 bear market that set the stage for explosive gains later that decade. 7 Comments [Commodities]
Tuesday, May 28, 6:58 AM JPMorgan's commodities team slashes its price forecasts for most metals, lowering the 2013 estimate for gold to $1,595 from $1,745. The 2015 estimate is cut 5% to $1,650. Silver's 2013 outlook is cut to $27.89 from $30.01. Copper (JJC) to $3.50 to $3.64. GLD -0.1%, SLV -0.3% premarket. 7 Comments [Commodities]
Friday, May 24, 9:06 AM After spending years and billions eliminating their hedge books, gold producers (GDX) may need to return to their old habit - selling production forward - thanks to the metal's (GLD) sharp decline. "We think producers are under pressure to put on hedging," says SocGen's Robin Bhar. "The problem is it needs a cultural change ... Guys who used to hedge have lost their jobs." Renewed producer selling could put even more pressure on prices. 10 Comments [Commodities]
