Silver may well pause today, in New York today.

Silver & Gold Price Drivers
The main gold and silver price drivers of the day remain the debt crises on both sides of the Atlantic. What is in the process of changing is the appreciation of the consequences of the crises and the intractability of the underlying problems. When the problems first broke there was the denial. Then there was the hope that by selling assets plus a few more loans from their richer co-members of the E.U. the problems could be overcome. Add the hope of economic recovery and still Europe believed the problems were solvable. The bust came when it was properly realized that Greece just would not be able to repay its debt. The procrastination and disagreements between the E.C.B. and Germany has done further damage. The ratings agencies did their job and told it like it was. Now contagion, and with the E.C.B. saying it would not accept Greek debt as collateral, Europe is moving towards doubting the euro itself. The survival of the Eurozone is now subject to speculation.
Beware of the danger of believing that the gold price is dependent on the debt crises alone.
Emerging market demand is the main persistent force and uninfluenced by these debt crises. The overall failure of paper currencies will bring much more demand from the developed world in the future. [The Gold Forecaster and Silver Forecaster discuss all these points and more making them a “must-read” for all who want to understand why the gold and silver prices are moving as they are and why.]

Precious Metals Ready for Big-Time Run as Global Breakdown Begins

Precious Metals Ready for Big-Time Run as Global Breakdown Begins
Posted Monday, 18 July 2011

By Jordan Roy-Byrne, CMT
An important shift in global markets is taking place and it bears introspection. Gold has broken to a new high while Silver has established a bottom. Precious metals stocks have rebounded significantly from support. At the same time, important global stock markets are in the early stage of a technical breakdown. We don’t foresee a repeat of 2007-2008, yet odds are good that global stock markets are beginning a cyclical bear market and unlike the last cycle this is coming at a time when precious metals are set to accelerate to the upside.
Finally, in analyzing bull markets lasting 15-20 years, we’ve noted that an acceleration in trend usually begins in the 11th or 12th year and is obvious by the end of the 12th year. Gold is in its 12th year while the 12th year for gold stocks would begin in Q4 of this year. Note that Gold has broken to a new high ahead of the typical breakout in September. That is another hint at what is to come. The next 18 to 24 months figure to be quite exciting and extremely profitable for those invested in this bull market.

Good Luck!

Gold Prices Soar, Savannah Jewelers See More Customers Selling than Buying

Gold Prices Soar, Savannah Jewelers See More Customers Selling than Buying


SAVANNAH, Ga. - Uncertainty in the U.S. and Europe contributed to soaring gold prices Monday. As jewelry stores watch the value rise, they're also seeing more people selling gold rather than buying it



» 0 Comments | Post a Comment
The uncertainty over the U.S. debt ceiling and widely publicized financial troubles inEurope all contributed to soaring gold prices Monday.

The king of precious metals hit a record $1602.40 per ounce. That is the highest dollar value for gold but actually below the record level reached in the 1980's after accounting for inflation.

But as jewelry stores watch the value of gold go up, they're also seeing more people come in the doors to sell gold rather than buy it.

"If things don't get better I think it's going to continue to climb. I don't think we've seen the end of it yet," saidRobert Anderson, owner of Anderson Jewelers.
  
Anderson Jewelers in Savannah opened in 1943 when the price of gold was just $33 an ounce. 

News 3 visited them on March 5, 2008, when gold had reached a record of $995 per ounce.

"We're trying to just not buy, except what we have to buy right now," said Janice Anderson in 2008.

More than 3 years and a 61 percent price increase later, Robert Anderson said any where from five to ten people a day come in to sell their gold.
 
"A lot of people now are turning to sterling silver," he said. "We're not selling a whole lot of gold but we are buying a lot of gold."

A prime example of the economic shift to more affordable metals is a 133 gram, 18K gold necklace that was purchased years ago when gold was $300 per ounce. The piece is still in the store.

The Dollar, Gold and SP500 Trend Analysis - totalinvestor.blogspot.com

The Dollar, Gold and SP500 Trend Analysis

The dollar is and has been in a strong down trend for many years and I feel as though it’s getting close to another major land slide. It could take place any time in the next month or so according to my weekly chart analysis.
The general rule is if the dollar falls in value then we tend to see both stocks and commodities rise. The inverse relationship at times can be tick for tick meaning if the dollar ticks down one increment then we see the broad market or specific commodities move in the opposite direction at the same time.
