Last Friday we wrote that precious metals were very oversold and due for a bounce or a pause. We also argued that the overall prognosis remained very bearish. The technicals argue for more downside and sentiment indicators remain far from bearish extremes.

Despite increasingly strong supply/demand fundamentals, gold prices have continued to tread water – more or less within a narrow $100 range – having hit overhead resistance a few weeks ago near $1175 and now testing support near $1075 an ounce.

A coalition of leftist parties who are against austerity has effectively ousted Portugal’s center-right government just few days after it took power. What does it imply for the gold market?

Russian central bank governor, Elvira Nabiullina spoke about Russia’s gold and foreign currency reserves today saying Russia intended building them up to $500 billion in the coming years. More importantly, she confirmed that Russia continues to see gold reserves as...

Over the last week we have used market sentiment indicators and index charts to gauge the prospects of finding a high on the post-September relief ‘bounce’ rally. During August and September market sentiment had become brutally over bearish and this was very...

The global economy is slowing down rapidly -- and it is conceivable that the developed world may face a recession next year. Already, the Japanese economy is contracting and even Europe is barely growing. Across the pond, the US is still muddling through but the...

My e-mail box has been filled up this week with panicked owners of gold and "trolls" – (indeed) it is sometimes hard to decipher which is which. I say this because the logic being employed is in some cases panic driven and in others just plain flawed, but similar...

With the dollar having recently risen to a new seven-month high, commodity prices are in retreat. The brown line in Chart 1 shows the CRB Index (of nineteen commodity markets) falling to the lowest level since August (through yesterday).

Everything is rosy, or is it? The Dow is flirting with 18,000 again but stocks are overvalued. Positive economic news is not so positive because it means that the Fed will push up rates. Bad news is just bad news.

We would like to update some of the charts on the possible inflection point we looked at about three weeks or so ago. That possible inflection point is still gaining momentum to the downside as the deflationary environment still looks good to go. No market goes...

Gold fell heavily last week as forecast. Our long awaited fall to lower lows seems finally to be underway. Contrary to most opinion this fall is not a case of manipulation by dark forces, but is simply a resumption of a long term trend we have been modelling for...
