Silver Market Morning: July-25-2016 -- Gold and silver prices sitting on support!

July 25, 2016

Shanghai prices were lower than at New York’s close, while London tried to pull prices lower at the opening and thereafter. A strengthening dollar is at the heart of the weakness in gold and silver prices. We do not believe the dollar will get that much stronger and echo the opinion that the dollar is unlikely to rise higher than $1.07 against the euro. This helps to explain the limited Technical downside to gold prices.

The gigantic war continues unabated. Hedge funds keeping pile in on the long side while Commercials and Swap Dealers keep selling them all they want. The hedge fund net long is at a new all time high. The Swap Dealer net short is also at a new all time high. Commercial net shorts are fast approaching the all time high set back in October 2009.

Market Report: Technicians turning bearish

Predictably, technical analysts are now talking prices down, expecting gold to test the 55-day moving average currently at $1280, and possibly the 200-day MA, which is at $1195. Last night (Thursday) gold closed at $1333 and silver at $19.80.

Silver Market Morning: July-21-2016 -- Gold and silver prices still base building!

With today’s European Central Bank meeting likely to have an effect on exchange rates and the gold price the prospect of more easing becomes important. But as with the Bank of Japan’s failure to move of late [saying ‘helicopter money’ is off the table], so the E.C.B. finds itself in a position where it is extremely limited in what it can do now or in the future. Lending is timid, so stimuli are not bearing fruit!

Silver Market Morning: July-18-2016 -- Gold and silver prices trying to decide direction!

Just as the Bank of England is waiting for more pertinent data before deciding on how much easing to put out there, so now we see the E.C.B. hesitating in the same way and for the same reason. They cannot act in the statistical darkness for fear of doing too much or too little. The bank of England is waiting until Augusts’ meetings and even then may delay further. Hindsight may tell them they waited too long or too little, but for now they would not be wise to act before seeing some light.

Silver – No Time to Waste, Get it Now!

I sat down with Michael Noonan, Edge Trader Plus, to get his take on the current state of the silver and gold market. Michaels approach to trading is a little different than most of the other people I speak with in that he simply watches the movement in the charts and tunes out everything else.

Market Report: Precious metals consolidate

July 15, 2016

This consolidation, which started after America’s Independence Day, has been in the form of a relatively shallow correction, as our introductory chart shows. This leaves gold up 27% against the US dollar, and silver up 47%. Silver has caught up on all its earlier underperformance, driving the gold/silver relationship down from 83 in March to 66 this week.

Silver Market Morning: July-15-2016 -- Gold and silver prices marked down, digesting the Bank of England’s inaction!

The Chinese gold market followed New York yesterday as the Yuan picked up slightly over yesterday’s exchange rate. All global markets were surprised by the Bank of England’s inaction, despite the indication that if the U.K. economy slowed down between now and August, easing action would be taken. This left the markets in the same position as the Bank of England, waiting for post-Brexit data.

This Confirms the Continuation of Silver’s Rally

The existence of this pattern, and its recent breakout confirm that the December 2015 bottom in silver is actually the bottom for the correction since 2011. This is a precious gift, if you were still unsure whether to get into silver or not. This was also confirmed by the fact that the USD/ZAR made a significant top very close to the December 2015 silver bottom USD/ZAR (a USD/ZAR top is a good signal to confirm a silver bottom).

Silver Market Morning: July-14-2016 -- Gold and silver prices marked down, waiting for the Bank of England today!

The Chinese gold market was not convinced by the fall in New York and lifted the gold price, reflecting internal Chinese demand. After the close and ahead of London’s opening the gold price was ‘marked down’ pretty heavily and after the LBMA price setting was trading at $1,326.65. No doubt, if Shanghai prices remain higher, its banks in London will move physical gold from their London bases to Shanghai to arbitrage prices and shift more bullion into China.
