jsr Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Blimey - gold just shot up by about 2% in USD, and GBP. Any ideas why? It hit the 144 Day moving average. Money is also flowing out of stocks, so thats pushing the dollar up I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jinbal Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Blimey - gold just shot up by about 2% in USD, and GBP. Any ideas why? From a technical perspective POG in USD and GBP have tested their MT moving averages and uptrendlines, coupled with the charts showing them slightly oversold, means that they're pretty ripe for a bounce here, we'll have to see if that follows through to form the "bottom" of this correction.

Yes, I thought something else though - I bought in GBP at 144 dma heavily, and earlier too at £828, so been lucky I suppose. I didn't expect it this quickly though. May be it's Egypt; it's making alot of hot news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliveandkicking Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 May be it's Egypt; it's making alot of hot news. And then on to the rest of the area. Oil spikes up, agricultural costs spike up. People begin starving. The west invades to keep oil flowing. Russia moves South. China moves west. My family heads back to NZ. Definately a possibility even for somebody as conservative as me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great Howestreet.com interview with Ross Clark and some great charts if you are into that sort of thing: 2011 Positive for Precious Metals http://howestreet.com/2011/01/2011-positive-precious-metals/ $2155 MINIMUM upside target for gold within 6 to 18 months! Eric Sprott's "best technical adviser" also thinks gold is on its way to $2150: Our best technical advisor, he thinks (gold) it’s going to $2,150, and he thinks it is going to $2,150 this spring. http://kingworldnews.com/kingworldnews/KWN..._by_Spring.html I wonder if their technical adviser is also Ross Clark?

lyb Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 What I found most impressive in this latest sell off, is that GLD sold 50 tons of gold at the bottom of this correction, yet the price did not move to the downside, as much as one would expect. That is apart from the SHK gold futures liquidation equivalent to another 19 tons, on Monday. These are big numbers for the space of 1 week! Yet gold finishes -0.14% for the week. Paper gold pressure absorbed presumably by physical demand. If the same amount of paper gold is to be rebought , this could lead to a big rally.

fitkid Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Interesting musings at FOFOA blog http://fofoa.blogspot.com/ Who is Draining GLD? There seems to be a misunderstanding in the gold market that when you buy or sell shares of GLD you are putting pressure on the price of gold. That selling shares of GLD into the exchange is somehow analogous to selling physical into the marketplace. Or that buying shares of GLD is somehow, somewhere down the chain, removing physical gold from the marketplace......................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G0ldfinger Posted January 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Interesting musings at FOFOA blog That relates to a thought I had recently: people who get out of GLD possibly just go into the real thing after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fitkid Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 That relates to a thought I had recently: people who get out of GLD possibly just go into the real thing after all. To put this into context, since December 21st alone, 2.2M ounces have been sold from the ETF, basically a bit more than an entire quarter of production from Barrick gold (the world's largest producer). The normal run rate of global recycling plus mine production is approximately 2.95M ounces per month. So in the same period, assuming GLD was the only source of outflow, total global absorbed gold supply was 5.15M ounces. If outflows continued at the current rate, the GLD ETF (the largest investor depository of gold by far) would have no gold in 18 months. Not at all applicable to the man in the street though even if he was anything like AWAKE to what is happening.!! And for those of you GLD fans that think you will simply hold onto your shares until the bitter end, I have a warning for you. These Giants don't need to over-bid your shares away from you. They can always buy them at the price of paper gold trading in London and New York. And there will come a point when you are watching the premium on physical coins jump from 5% over GLD to 50% on its way to 500% over the paper gold price. How long are you going to stubbornly hold onto your precious paper before you finally relinquish it to that last Giant's delivery "basket?" Remember, unless you've got $13 million, you've only got paper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoctorSolar Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Just ordered a little more in case it should all go tango uniform early next week. I did the same this evening too. I grabbed some ounces at £834 and £824 last week. I doubt any of my pyramid of buy orders below that will get filled now that we have bounced off the 200 day moving average.

DoctorSolar Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 It would be great to get a 7xx price, but I just can't see it. At sub 800 I would be buying with both hands too but I can't really see that happening either. At 824 I got the same feeling as I had at 750 in Aug 2010 and 569 in July 2009... time will tell...

huntergatherer Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Gold Stumbles As Refuge Demand Keeps Shriveling. JANUARY 31, 2011, 2:15 P.M. ET. Gold market participants have been "a little disappointed that the fear factor didn't come into play more," said Stephen Platt, an analyst with Archer Financial Services in Chicago. But the gains are proving short-lived during the metal's broader correction. Gold has lost 6.3% this year as cautious optimism about the global economy and strength in equities markets erodes the appeal of the precious metal as a refuge asset. Gold is bought by some investors because it isn't as tied to economic cycles as other investments like industrial metals or stocks. "As long as the oil supply doesn't get cut off, the Egypt situation isn't going to greatly impact the world's economy," said Ira Epstein, director of the Ira Epstein division of the Linn Group. Stronger than expected U.S. economic data further undercut investors' desire for gold. Monday's data also provided evidence that U.S. inflation remains subdued. The core price index, which excludes volatile energy and food prices, was up 0.7% compared with the year-earlier period, after rising 0.8% in November. Gold is sometimes purchased as a hedge against inflation. http://online.wsj.com/article/BT-CO-20110131-714313.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
