- Wednesday, February 29, 2012, 11:03 AM Precious metals fall off a cliff as well as it becomes clear no new candy is imminently forthcoming from the Fed. Gold -2.3% to $1,747/oz., Silver -2.5% to $36.22/oz. Oil slides too, -0.6% to $105.94. (also) 3 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
- Tuesday, February 28, 2012, 12:46 PM Silver continues its big 2012 run, +4% today and more than 30% YTD to $36.94/oz., a 5-month high. Along with a lot of other markets, silver is thus far repeating the action of early 2011 when a winter/spring run took the metal to $50/oz., before crashing. SLV +5%. Comment! [Commodities, On the Move]
- Tuesday, January 3, 2012, 11:44 AM Gold and silver erase the entirety of their late year dives in a few hours of 2012 trading, with silver making a particularly dramatic move, +6.1% to $29.64/oz. Gold is 2.6% higher at $1,607. An effective hedge against stock declines earlier in 2011, gold and the S&P 500 have mostly risen and fallen together since the October equity lows. 5 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
- Thursday, December 29, 2011, 7:01 AM Gold continues its late-year slide, off 2.4% to $1,526/oz., the lowest price since early July. Off 3.6% to $26.28, silver has returned to its low for the year. Comment! [Commodities, On the Move]
- Wednesday, December 28, 2011, 11:24 AM Gold and silver fall alongside the selloff in risk assets that began around 9:30 ET. Off 1.3% to $1,575/oz., gold is resting at a 3-month low. Technicians might see a bit of an air pocket beneath that support, with the next stop being around $1,500. Silver is off 4.7% to $27.57/oz., honing in on its January low in the $26 area. 4 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
- Wednesday, December 14, 2011, 11:15 AM Precious metals accelerate their slide alongside the drop in equity markets and the euro. Gold is down 4.5% to $1,589/oz., the lowest price since September. Silver, off 8%, drops below $29/oz. On the industrial side, copper -4.8% to $3.27/lb., still well above the $3 level hit in October. 10 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
- Wednesday, December 14, 2011, 9:42 AM Precious metals are down sharply again this morning, led by silver, off 6.9% to $29.10, and within sight of its yearly low set in January of about $27/oz. Off 2.9% to $1,614, gold is at a 2 month low. Chatter abounds of hedge fund (Paulson) liquidations and central bank shenanigans, but gold has had a nice decade run - can't it just sell off once in awhile? 4 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
- Tuesday, October 4, 2011, 3:02 PM After a one week respite from a steep downtrend, the precious metals are off sharply again today. Gold drops back below $1,600/oz. and silver under $30 (platinum down too). GLD -3.2%, SLV -4.5%, PPLT -3.1%. Comment! [On the Move, Commodities]
- Monday, October 3, 2011, 8:56 AM Gold (+2.5%) and silver (+3.1%) have regained their footing even as global stocks continue to slide, but copper continues lower, falling below $3/lb. last night for the 1st time since mid-2010. The industrial metal is currently -2.7% at $3.07. Comment! [Commodities, On the Move]
- Tuesday, September 27, 2011, 6:22 AM Dec. silver +26% to $32.70 from an overnight low of $26 yesterday. The move dwarfs the 9.4% gain in gold to $1,677 from its low of $1,533. 2 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
- Monday, September 26, 2011, 3:03 PM After an overnight collapse that saw its price fall about 13% (on top of last week's near 30% dive), silver returns back to unchanged. Gold and copper see similar price action, but not as wild as silver's. With this sort of volatility, another margin hike on top of Friday's is not out of the question. Comment! [Commodities, On the Move]
- Friday, September 23, 2011, 1:32 PM Liquidation of the precious metals continues: Gold off more than $100/oz., -6% to $1,635. Silver -16.8%, printing below $30/oz. at one point, now at $30.43. The metal has easily taken out its lows from the April/May panic selloff. Chartists might say, "where's the support?" 21 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
- Friday, September 23, 2011, 7:51 AM Hardest hit in the commodity sector is silver, -10.3%, bringing its 2 day decline to about 20%. The gold/silver ratio has moved from around 40 to more than 50 just this week, with some traders using the gauge's direction as a proxy for market risk appetite. SLV -9.2% premarket. 1 Comment [Commodities, On the Move]
- Monday, September 19, 2011, 1:10 PM The precious metals break form, sliding even as fear shows itself on the equity, bond, currency, and other commodity markets. Gold gives up early gains, now -1.7% at $1,784. Silver -3.4% at $39.43. 1 Comment [Commodities, On the Move]
- Tuesday, July 19, 2011, 3:05 PM Precious metals dive in wake of optimism over a possible debt deal, silver falling more than 2.5% in the minutes following President Obama's comments. It makes Cullen Roche want to bang his head against a wall. "Did people really buy silver thinking that the U.S. would go bankrupt?" SLV -2.9%, GLD -1.4%. 31 Comments [U.S. Economy, Commodities, On the Move]
- Monday, July 18, 2011, 10:50 AM Silver follows the same upward track as gold, topping $40/oz as a cheaper alternative to the safe-haven favorite. Shares of select silver companies also gain: Silvercorp Metals (SVM +3.7%), Silver Standard (SSRI +1.8%), Silver Wheaton (SLW +2.5%). Comment! [U.S. Economy, On the Move]
