Weekly Gold Report (August 5th through August 9th)

I am probably not alone in thinking that I am happy to finally have last week in the rear view mirror. Despite the fact that most economists had their sights set on the September FOMC Meeting, there was still the possibility of a surprise decision to taper ahead of next month. After hearing the news that the FED will maintain their QE stance, we still had to deal with Central Bank announcements from the BOE and the ECB. Following the same supportive outlook, we looked ahead to the monthly Non Farm Payroll on Friday.

Despite decent figures from the private sector in the US, along with an improvement in the weekly jobless claims, the NFP did miss expectations. Considering the fact that Ben Bernanke and Co. have pegged their participation largely to the labor market, this miss bought the market at least another month of FED support.

Weekly Gold Report July 29th through August 2nd

Fasten your seat belts traders, for this upcoming week is about as full as can be with data in the US and across the pond. We begin the week with Pending Home Sales in the US and tonight Japan will report Industrial Production figures. Tuesday provides German CPI and Consumer Confidence number in the US. Traders will have to be up early to see what will likely be more disappointing unemployment figures in Europe, followed by the ADP Employment Report and the US GDP before the opening bell. A few hours after stocks open, we should breeze through the Chicago PMI report in anticipation of this month’s FOMC announcement and Interest Rate Decision where the FED is not expected to make any policy changes. Early on Thursday morning, we hear from the BOE and the ECB regarding their Interest Rates, followed by Weekly Jobless Claims in America, and finally ISM figures after the open. To close out the week, we will see Non Farm Payrolls followed by a speech from a FED Member. And try not to forget that we are still reporting earnings in the United States!

Precious Metals Must Make a Stronger Statement Still

Posted on by admin

Yesterday was an impulsive looking move and something of a statement in itself.  But now technically, the metals and miners need to gather themselves (after a potential pullback on profit taking) and make a real statement.

Yesterday was the booster stage (gap up), and another leg up from here would give the precious metals complex the velocity to do some real damage with respect to upside targets.  That is because important resistance zones are now at hand.  While a pullback would be normal, gold bugs obviously do not want to see a terminal velocity situation where yesterday’s momentum erodes beyond normal profit taking.

The Biggest Gold Prediction Of The Year

Posted on by admin

By:David Goodboy of Street Authority

Whenever I'm faced with a major change in my opinion regarding the market's long-term direction, I think of the English punk band the Clash.

In particular, the 1980s hit "Should I Stay or Should I Go" comes to mind. With apologies to the song's writers:

"Should I buy or should I sell? If I buy, there will be trouble / If I sell, it will be double."

Thinking of these altered lyrics might be a nod to being obsessed with music during my adolescence. It might also be a signal that it's time to make a change. I like to think of them as the latter. Continue reading "The Biggest Gold Prediction Of The Year" →

Weekly Gold Report (July 8th through July 12th)

As expected, markets overall went through the lighter volume volatility trade last week due to the July 4th Holiday. The only standout was the Crude Oil Futures, which spent the entire week pricing in the news in Egypt. Aside from that, most other markets went through the usual rangy market swings that are expected around shortened Holiday weeks, especially those in the Summer.

I anticipate we will see similar movement in the week ahead as Summer trading continues. Additionally, the upcoming week is a bit light on tradable news. Aside from reviews from the monthly meetings of the Central Banks in the US and Japan, we begin quarterly earnings reports in the US Stock Indexes. If there are no major surprises, I would expect the same type of volatility we saw in the prior week. Continue reading "Gold Chart of The Week" →
