- Friday, January 4, 10:06 AM Interesting action in the precious metals had them continuing overnight a sharp fall begun after FOMC minutes suggested an earlier-than-expected end to Fed candy. This reversed with the 8:30 jobs report which showed still-sluggish employment growth. Gold has since bounced $21 to $1,651, though still off 1.4% on the session. Silver jumps $0.70, but remains -2.6%. 26 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
- Thursday, December 20, 2012, 9:08 AM Gold and silver slide again in a big late-year sell off taking on a curious resemblance (I, II) to the price action at the end of 2011. Followers of the precious metals hardly need to be reminded that bear market ended on the last trading day of the year, and was followed by a big bull run in Q1. GLD -0.9%, SLV -2.3% premarket. 20 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
- Thursday, December 13, 2012, 7:18 AM Did we miss a major central bank tightening overnight? The precious metals sector is lit up bright red following the Fed's addition to QE and what looks like the promise of ZIRP for at least 2-3 more years. GLD -1.1%, SLV -2.2% premarket. Copper and oil join in, the red metal -1.4%, and WTI crude -0.6%. 49 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
- Tuesday, December 4, 2012, 9:13 AM A sliding dollar is of no help to sensitive commodities, all tumbling in early trade. GLD -1.4%, SLV -2.2%, USO -1.2% premarket. 15 Comments [Commodities]
- Thursday, November 29, 2012, 9:02 AM Agreeing on the creaky condition of the fiscal position of Western governments, two economists come to the opposite conclusion on gold. Lombard's Leigh Skene thinks the EU debt crisis has set in play a deflationary spiral in which gold falls (and sliver plunges), while John Williams says 2014 will bring realization of the U.S. government's insolvency and a soaring price. 7 Comments [Commodities]
- Wednesday, November 28, 2012, 9:18 AM If it's a fat finger, it's not immediately being lifted. So far, gold hasn't bounced a dime from a quick $20 sell-off an hour ago. Chatter says the move was due to a contract rollover that accidentally became an outright sell. Silver has moved in concert, SLV -2.1% premarket. Oil and copper, both lower by more than 1%, complete the picture for key commodities. 20 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
- Friday, November 9, 2012, 8:02 AM The Sprott Physical Silver Trust (PSLV) falls 2.6% premarket after announcing yet another secondary offering. If there is a shortage of silver, asks Kid Dynamite, why didn't the price of the metal tick up on the announcement a big player is about to buy several hundred million dollars worth? 23 Comments [Commodities]
- Tuesday, November 6, 2012, 12:40 PM Speculating Bernanke has taken the lead in exit polls, ZH notes gold has gone vertical in the past few minutes (chart). GLD +2%. SLV +3.1%. Oil is on the move as well, USO +2.6%. 29 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
- Tuesday, November 6, 2012, 10:57 AM Silver miners (SIL -0.6%) are struggling with low prices, as evidenced by Q3 results from Hecla Mining (HL -4.8%) and Coeur d'Alene (CDE -18.8%), where prices were down 23% and 5.5% Y/Y respectively; a 14% drop was blamed for falling revenues and profits at Silver Wheaton (SLW -0.5%). Pan American Silver (PAAS -2.3%) is scheduled to report Thursday. 3 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
- Friday, October 19, 2012, 10:40 AM Silver has continued to slide this week even at stocks have moved higher. So what? Tim Backshall notes the two asset classes have had a pretty tight correlation over the past 6 weeks, diverging only in the past few sessions (though stocks are trying their best to catch up today). SLV -0.9%. 1 Comment [Commodities]
- Monday, October 1, 2012, 8:48 AM Chicago Fed President Charles Evans - the man whose ideas about QE∞ won the day on the FOMC - tells CNBC he expects unemployment in the 7% range for at least another 2 years. As 7% is unacceptable to Evans, the statement means he expects a minimum 2 years of continued $40B/month or more of asset purchases. Gold and silver erase early losses. GLD +0.3%, SLV +2% premarket. 9 Comments [U.S. Economy, Commodities, On the Move]
- Monday, September 24, 2012, 9:38 AM Investors have been voracious buyers of silver and silver miner ETFs on QE-infinity, and when silver is outperforming gold, it is usually a bullish sign for the entire precious metals complex. Physically backed silver ETFs (SLV, SIVR, DBS) have jumped 23% in three months; silver miners (SIL, SLVP) are up 22%-plus. Physical gold (GLD) added ~10% and gold miners (GDX) ~15%. 4 Comments [Commodities, Quick Ideas]
- Saturday, September 22, 2012, 10:02 AM An unmistakable trend is under way as investors cash in their bond ETF holdings and pour the money into stock funds. "A lot of fixed-income oriented people have decided to start chasing equities," says an ETF trader, as they fear being left behind by an equity market juggernaut (they already have been). Also seeing a rush are precious metals ETFs - the physical and the miners. 70 Comments
- Thursday, September 13, 2012, 2:49 PM Comex gold rose 2.2% to $1,772.10/oz. to finish near seven-month highs on the Fed's QE3 announcement, and gold miners (GDX +4.3%) are performing even better: NEM +5.4%, ABX +3.5%, GFI +3.8%, GG +4.9%, FCX +3.9%. Silver spiked even more, and silver miners (SIL +6.8%) are soaring too: SLW +5.1%, HL +5.3%, PAAS +4.8%, CDE +6.2%. 12 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
- Thursday, September 13, 2012, 1:36 PM More FOMC: We'll hear more from Bernanke soon, but further reflection reveals the true power of today's QE3 announcement. By making the asset purchase program open-ended, the onus now falls onto the hawks to assemble the votes to end it. QE could be Fed policy for a very long time. Stocks, gold, silver, and currencies not nicknamed the greenback all seem to have realized this and moved sharply higher. 7 Comments [U.S. Economy]
- Friday, September 7, 2012, 9:58 AM Gold hits its highest level since February, +1.4% to $1,731 as QE expectations for next week ratchet up following the payroll report. Silver and copper follow suit, both posting large gains and multi-month highs. And don't forget Beijing - now getting serious about its own stimulus efforts. 8 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
