- Tuesday, September 4, 2012, 10:32 AM Gold gets jarred above the $1,700/oz. level for the first time since March as the weak ISM print naturally raises the odds of further pump-priming by the Fed. Silver posts an even sharper move, rising to $32.25, its highest price since April. 2 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
- Friday, August 31, 2012, 11:15 AM Gold, silver, and crude are believers - all sharply higher following what's now being interpreted as Bernanke setting the stage for more stimulus at the September FOMC meeting. GLD +1.3%, SLV +2.5%, USO +1.6%. 11 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
- Thursday, August 23, 2012, 7:10 AM Gold continues to party as the weak Chinese PMI print overnight combines with yesterday's FOMC minutes to give rise to the idea of a lot more fiat paper chasing the same level of goods. The yellow metal (along with silver) has clearly broken through key technical levels as well. GLD +0.5%, SLV +1.6% premarket. 5 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
- Wednesday, August 22, 2012, 2:35 PM Maybe biggest reaction to the dovish FOMC minutes comes from the precious metals, gold adding nearly 1% to $1,648/oz., and silver tacking on a similar amount to $29.67. GLD +0.6%, SLV +1.5%. Currencies: The euro adds 50 pips to $1.2526. The pound, aussie, yen, and loonie all get a boost as well. UUP -0.5%. 1 Comment [Commodities, On the Move]
- Monday, August 20, 2012, 2:46 PM A big rally in silver, +2.6%, catches the eye of the technicians as SLV breaks out above its 200-day moving average. The last breakout (on the way up) was in January, and it presaged another 20% upside over the following 6 weeks. 13 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
- Tuesday, August 14, 2012, 7:46 AM While speculative bets on higher silver prices have plummeted 72% since February, investor demand stays strong - silver held by ETPs has risen nearly 800 tons this year to about 18K tons (let's face it, plenty of this is speculative). Industrial demand may be bouncing back as well, with warehouse stockpiles falling last month for the first time since November. 4 Comments [Commodities]
- Tuesday, August 7, 2012, 4:59 PM Dundee Capital continues its long-term bullish stance on silver but warns of continuing volatility: "The battle against costs for the silver producers is a constant struggle as the majority of mines are of the underground variety that inherently have higher operating costs... In the short term, volatility is a reality," as Q2 average silver prices dropped to $29.51/oz. from $32.59/oz. in Q1. 5 Comments [Commodities]
- Wednesday, August 1, 2012, 9:58 AM FOMC preview: "Gold (is) saying Bernanke doesn't deliver the drugs," writes Keith McCullough. GLD -1%, SLV -2.5%. 3 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
- Wednesday, August 1, 2012, 8:21 AM Inflation expectations appear to be on the verge of a comeback, Michael Gayed writes, which might make silver and other cyclical trades outperform in the next leg higher. The ratio of the iShares silver ETF (SLV) to the Dow (DIA) is near a potentially important support level, he says, with an uptrend of leadership possibly forming. 1 Comment [Commodities, Quick Ideas]
- Thursday, July 12, 2012, 3:35 PM Ignore today's dive in Sprott Physical Silver Trust (PSLV -3.8%, with SLV +0.3%) on the back of about a $200M follow-on offering, writes Brendan Conway. Sprott is simply turning the fund's premium to NAV into cash with which to buy more silver - exactly what an owner of the shares wants to see. 12 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
- Friday, July 6, 2012, 11:53 AM Gold falls 1.3% to $1,588, the entirety of the decline coming in the minutes following the jobs report. In a little more than a day since a gold bull's dream - 3 major central banks loosening monetary policy and weak U.S. data giving at least a bit more impetus towards further Fed ease - the metal is off 2.1%. Silver is down 4.6% during the same time frame. 63 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
- Thursday, June 28, 2012, 3:07 PM Silver falls 2.6% to a 19-month low of $26.23, but thus far there are no signs of a rush out SLV. A key area of support is $26, says Michael Shaoul, with the next stop on the charts being $17.50 - the point at which the metal began its big run in 2010. The miners (SIL -2.6%) have performed better than the metal (-7.6%) during June. Comment! [Commodities]
- Thursday, June 21, 2012, 12:27 PM The commodity sector is lit up bright red - the markets (stocks too) apparently waiting until today to throw a tantrum over disappointment on no new QE. GLD -2%, SLV -3.6%, Copper (JJC) -2.2%. Crude oil takes out $80/barrel and more, now at $79.45, USO -2.1%. Corn -2.8%, Cotton -6%. 10 Comments [Commodities]
- Wednesday, June 6, 2012, 11:04 AM Gold is moving nicely higher, +1.3% to $1,639/oz. as the Fed starts to stir, but the big action is in silver, +4.6%, and erasing all of May's losses in June's first few days. SLV +4.1%. Comment! [Commodities, On the Move]
- Wednesday, May 16, 2012, 7:55 AM Off 1.3% to $1,535, gold is at its YTD low and looks to be testing a key support level hit in September and again in December. Beneath that looks to be a lot of air. It's more volatile cousin silver, -2.4% to $27.40, is forming a similar chart pattern. 15 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
- Monday, May 14, 2012, 3:43 AM After commodities hit nearly two-year lows last week, investors are wondering whether the decade-long rally is over. Various headwinds prevail, including a slowdown in China, a U.S. economy that has yet to regain its momentum, and temporary supply gluts for some raw materials. 4 Comments [Commodities]
