- 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]
- Monday, April 30, 2012, 8:57 AM Gold takes a quick tumble, dropping nearly 1% in minutes to $1.650/oz. (taking silver along for the ride, or vice versa). The fall comes as HSBC hits the tape, cutting its 2012 average gold forecast to $1,760 from $1,850 on a "sharp decline" in Indian demand and reduced expectations for QE. 15 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
- Thursday, April 26, 2012, 11:00 AM The charts show interesting moves for the precious metals, with gold and silver bottoming out of multi-week bear moves right as the FOMC released its policy statement (more ZIRP) yesterday. Since then, gold is 2% higher to $1,658, silver up 3.5% to $31.01. 4 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
- Friday, April 20, 2012, 12:20 PM May is an important month for gold stocks, says Jordan Roy-Byrne, noting the yellow metal has seen important interim tops/bottoms then in nearly each year of its decade-plus bull run. It's possible, he says, May 2012 could mark an important bottom, a la 2005. Russ Koesterich adds don't take your eye off the ball - the Fed remains gold's best friend. 5 Comments [Commodities]
- Friday, April 13, 2012, 2:45 PM Gold gets no bid from the sell-off in risk assets as a casual drift downward steepens in the last hour, -1.5% to $1,654. Silver -3.3% to $31.46. Comment! [Commodities]
- Thursday, April 12, 2012, 10:14 AM Gold shoots out of a quiet trading range it's been in for the last 48 hours, leaping 1% in the past minutes to $1,670/oz. GLD +0.7%. Silver is on the move too, leaping $0.55 to $32.05/oz. SLV +2%. 6 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
- Tuesday, April 10, 2012, 1:04 PM After hanging around quietly in the red most of the day, gold and silver have charged higher in the last 30 minutes. Gold +0.8% to $1,657/oz., silver +0.6% to $31.71/oz. 2 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
- Thursday, April 5, 2012, 10:48 AM Mitsui Precious Metals strategist David Jollie says the high margins on Comex and the low turnover on the Shanghai exchange are two factors that will keep silver prices from falling short of the $50 mark. It's a take that falls in line with the view of Sector Investment Managers' Angelos Damaskos, who sees the market back in "normal situation," where silver behaves much more like an industrial metal than a safe-haven asset. Silver +1.7% to $31.60. 9 Comments [Commodities, Quick Ideas]
- Wednesday, April 4, 2012, 7:34 AM Gold continues to feel the sting of a new-found (but likely temporary) hawkishness coming out of the FOMC. The yellow metal adds to yesterday's big loss, -2.9% to $1,623. It's the lowest price since the opening days of 2012. Silver -4.5% to $31.76. GLD -1.2%, SLV -2.1% premarket. Comment! [Commodities, On the Move]
- Tuesday, April 3, 2012, 2:36 PM Dollar-sensitive commodities aren't spared the damage from news additional QE isn't right around the corner. Gold -1.7% to $1,651, WTI crude -1.3% to $103.84, copper -0.8% to $3.89. 6 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
