- 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]
- 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]
- 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]
- 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]
- 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]
- 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]
- 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]
- 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]
- 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]
