Gold, Silver Prices Fall while US Bullion Coins Maintain Momentum

Gold declined Wednesday, taking away a sizeable portion of the sharp gains from the previous day. Profit taking was among the major reasons cited for losses.

Gold prices fell $17.10, or 1.0% to $1,731.30 an ounce in the April futures contract on the Comex in New York. Gold hit an intraday low of $1,726.00 and made it as high as $1,754.80 [...]

In The Lead - PGMs = Potentially Great Movers

Gold and crude oil enjoyed a very good trading session on Tuesday as speculators threw money at both markets with an amount of generosity that was clearly lacking on, say, last Friday…

Gold prices meandered on either side of the ‘unchanged’ marker this morning and orbited around the $1,745 area as the US dollar did not appear to pierce the 78.50 level on the trade-weighted index following yesterday’s euro-centric optimism-induced sell-off it was subjected to. At least one school of thought sees a potential [...]

Gold Rebounds as Silver Jumps 1.3%, US 1 Oz Bullion Coins Gain

Following two consecutive daily losses, gold rebounded Tuesday when the U.S. dollar fell and bargain hunting ensued. Pressuring the greenback were comments from Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke about weakness in the U.S. economy and optimism over reports of progress in a Greece debt deal.

Gold prices gained $23.50, or 1.4% to $1,748.40 an ounce in the April futures contract on the [...]

Gold Declines as Silver Gains Penny, Major US Mint Eagle Coins Rise

Gold declined Monday for a second straight session as a stronger U.S. dollar and a "risk-off" mentality pressured the yellow metal.

Gold prices fell $15.40, or 0.9% to $1,724.90 an ounce in the April futures contract on the Comex in New York. Gold moved between a low of $1,714.00 and a high of $1,740.90 [...]

In The Lead - It's All Greek To Us All

Gold’s worst loss in over one month showed signs of continuing to deepen as markets opened for trading in New York this morning. Albeit during the overnight hours gold prices managed to bump some $10 higher in a recovery attempt, the uncertainty manifest in the European news flows on Monday kept the selling pressure on in the precious metals and commodities’ complex and speculators opted to take temporary shelter under the "green" umbrella of the US dollar (up 0.52% on the index).

European leaders appear to be losing patience with Greece at this juncture and have more or less issued an ultimatum for it to cut a deal that implies further belt-tightening measures, or [...]

Gold Prices Up 0.5% for Week as Silver Dips 0.1%, Bullion Eagle Sales Mixed

Gold prices rose 0.5% this week despite a $19 loss on Friday which was triggered by a stronger than expected U.S. jobs report. Said report showed that the unemployment rate fell to 8.3% — the lowest level since February 2009 — from the 8.5% reading in December.

In closing Friday, gold prices declined 1.1% to $1,740.30 an ounce in the April futures contract on the Comex in New York. Prices traded as low as $1,726.20 and as high as $1,765.90 [...]

In The Lead - Written In Cement?

Spot gold dealings opened flat, near the $1,759 bid level but it then fell by $25 to near the $1,735 area shortly after the release of the jobs statistics and then the ISM services index and factory orders numbers this morning.

Recent advances (7.4% on the 30-day chart) in the value of the yellow metal had already prompted contrarian calls (based on the readings of gold newsletter sentiment data) for caution, and then some. So long as gold does not manage a close above the $1,803 area (according to EW analysis) the metal has the potential to turn lower after the current rally runs out of steam [...]
