Gold and Silver Bull Market 'Topped'? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Julian_DW_Phillips
With the silver price riveted to the gold price, what happens to gold, applies to silver.
Many believe we are at the point where the rising gold market has entered a 'bubble' and is losing momentum just ahead of the 'bear' phase. With record prices of $1,610 and €1,136 seen in the midst of debt crises on both sides of the Atlantic, things surely must get better and gold and silver prices must fall...

Copper Gains are Government Sponsored / Commodities / Metals & Mining
By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis
China steals the show when it comes to commodities. Large public works projects, particularly in developing key infrastructure and housing projects, buoy commodity prices.

Gold and Silver Price Manipulation, COMEX has Everything to Fear / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: George_Maniere
I have been writing for some time that I could not get my hands around the silver trade. I had a feeling when the market went up 202 points on Tuesday that gold and silver would sell off into a healthy pullback and they both did. Today I was very surprised to see gold and silver put in very strong showings and was totally confused by this. AS I wrote yesterday I expected them to continue to sell off to about $35.00 in SLV and $141.50 in GLD. They did not act as scripted. What was I missing?

Gold in a Deflationary Economic Period / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Ian_R_Campbell
I suggest you read and think about what is said in a recent article: 'How gold performs in deflation' - reading time 4 minutes - thinking time longer. On its face, the article suggests that physical gold benefits in periods of both hyper-inflation and hyper-deflation, and when reaching that conclusion implies (at least as I read the article) that the price of physical gold is likely to rise under either scenario.

Agri-Foods Price Consolidation Fuel for the Next Rally / Commodities / Agricultural Commodities
By: Ned_W_Schmidt
Primary difference between a correction and a consolidation is the depth of the downward price movement. Consolidations are milder, though that might require a longer time period. In both though, an important regenerative process takes place. The fuel for the next rally is accumulated, and thinking is refreshed. In short, both should be welcomed, and their conclusion anticipated.
