- Thursday, April 18, 7:16 AM Gold retakes $1,400/oz. after falling as low as $1,337 overnight. Coincident with any big macro move are rumors George Soros is on the right side of it to the tune of hundreds of millions in profits. "Gold was destroyed as a safe haven, proved to be unsafe." GLD +1.5%, SLV +0.9% premarket. 8 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
- Wednesday, April 17, 7:31 AM Gold slides again with yesterday's bounce now near-erased, off 1% at $1,373/oz. Silver tumbles 2.2% to $23.12. GLD is actually a bit higher premarket thanks to gold being above the level it stood at the 4 PM close of stock trading. SLV -1.2% premarket. 9 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
- Tuesday, April 16, 8:24 AM Most of this morning's biggest premarket gappers come from yesterday's downtrodden mining losers: GFI +7.8%, AU +6.6%, GOLD +6.1%, KGC +4.8%, ABX +4.1%, AG +4%, HMY +3.2%, HL +3.1%, AUY +2.8%, EGO +2.6%, SLW +2.5%, RIO +2.3%, NEM +2%, MT +1.9%. ETFs: GDX +2.8%, SLV +2.8%, GLD +2.3%. Comment! [Commodities, On the Move]

- Monday, April 15, 5:03 AM Mining stocks are taking a bit of a hiding following China's slowing GDP growth and the sell-off in precious metals. Rio Tinto (RIO) -4.5% premarket, BHP Billiton (BHP) -3.6%, Barrick Gold (ABX) -3.6%, AngloGold (AU) -5.2%, IAMGold (IAG) -1.2%, Gold Fields (GFI) -5%, Goldcorp (GG) -3.9%, Kinross (KGC) -5.1%, Seabridge Gold (SA) -2.8%, Newmont Mining (NEM) -3.4%, Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold (FCX) -2.85% and Anglo American (AAUKF.PK) -3.9% in London.

ETFs to watch: GLD, IAU, DGP, SGOL, UGL, PHYS, AGOL, DGL, UBG, DZZ, GLL, DGZ, UGLD, DGLD, DBP, GLDI, GDX, GDXJ, NUGT, AGQ, GLDX, PSAU, DUST, GGGG, RING, SLV, PSLV, SIVR, ZSL, DBS, USV, USLV, DSLV, SILJ, SIL, SLVP. 2 Comments [Breaking News, Commodities, On the Move]
- Sunday, April 14, 11:06 PM Precious metals continue to sell off sharply, gold (GLD) -4% to $1,440/oz., the lowest level in about 2 years. Off 6.7% to $24.58, silver's (SLV) back to fall 2010 levels. 50 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
- Friday, April 12, 2:27 PM Goldman's short call on gold looks prescient, as comex gold sinks $63.50 to settle at $1,501.40/oz. for its lowest close since July 2011. Traders and analysts see no obvious trigger for the selloff, which seems to reflect the malaise that has gripped the market. Silver slips $1.37 to $26.33/oz. Miners are huge losers: HMY -7.5%, ABX -7.3%, AEM -6.9%, AUY -6.2%, SLW -5.6%, NEM -5.2%, EGO -4.9%, GFI -4.8%, GG -4.5%. 38 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
- Friday, April 12, 10:52 AM A slide in commodity prices turns into a rout: GLD -3.2%, SLV -4.2%, USO -3%, Copper (JJC) -2.2%. At $1,506/oz., gold is threatening a $1,400 handle for the first time in nearly 2 years. After an early bounce, stocks move to session lows, the S&P 500 -0.7%. The long bond gains three-quarters of a full point, its yield down to a 2013 low of 2.93%. Update at 11:05: Now off 4.3%, gold slips below $1,500. 54 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
- Friday, April 12, 8:54 AM The gold bear market/correction continues with the metal sliding to $1,537/oz., the lowest since last summer. Looking at a longer-term chart, gold has bounced off the low-mid $1,500 level a few times over the last 18 months. A drop below that would break what the technicians like to call "long-term support." The pattern in silver is similar. GLD -1.6%, SLV -2.2% premarket. 12 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
- Wednesday, April 3, 2:19 PM Precious metals (GLD -1.4%, SLV -1.3%) tumble to new multi-month lows, with gold at $1,552/oz. the weakest since last summer and right near what technicians like to call long-term support going back to mid-2011. At $26.87, silver also threatens key chart levels. 24 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
- Tuesday, April 2, 2:12 PM Silver has slid into a bear market, down ~22% since October and settling -2.5% today at $27.24, and some analysts say the pain is just beginning. Colin Cieszynski says recent moves reflect a technical breakdown but, similar to selling pressure hitting gold, silver is losing fans as inflation fears fade. iShares Silver Trust (SLV -2.4%) has extended its pattern of stair-step declines, an ominous technical warning. 19 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
- Tuesday, March 12, 8:25 AM Gold gets a sniff of $1,600, gaining 1% in minutes to $1,596/oz., with traders noting one buyer taking down 5.7K 1-month gold futures contracts as stoking the move. GLD +1% premarket. Silver comes along for the ride, SLV +1.1%. 10 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
- Monday, February 25, 12:41 PM Gold gains 1.1% to $1,590 after touching a 7-month low last week amid growing indications of at least short-term capitulation. Another one: Net long positions for the week ended Feb. 19 were slashed by 36% to the lowest level since November 2008, according to Commerzbank, which notes the metal has slid more since the 19th, meaning speculative longs have likely declined even further. GLD +0.6%, SLV +0.9%. 8 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
- 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 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]
