Premium Updates

Gold moved lower today after an almost uninterrupted rally in the past month - is this the beginning of another downleg and how low can gold slide? Or can gold move even higher before the next local top is seen? What about silver and mining stocks? Today's Premium Update includes in-depth analysis of the short- and long-term situation in the whole precious metals sector along with critical details necessary to make the most of the current trade - we provide you with upside price targets for gold (spot gold, GLD), silver (spot silver, SLV) and mining stocks (HUI, GDX). Moreover, we let you know how long can the coming correction last and how low can gold, silver and miners fall.

In today's Premium Update we thoroughly analyze the situation in the USD and S&P 500 indices. Today's situation in stocks is remarkably similar to what has already happened in the past which allows us to provide price targets (and price path) with significant confidence. The situation in the USD Index is analyzed not only through examination of the USD Index itself, but also through the Euro Index.

Additionally, today's Premium Update includes up-to-date top gold and silver junior rankings.

Gold soared this week and the same can be said about silver and mining stocks. The breakouts have been clearly visible and the trend for the precious metals sector is up. However, the question remains how high are metals likely to go. That's why this week's Premium Update includes price targets for: gold, GLD, silver, SLV, HUI Index and GDX ETF along with information when they can be reached.

In Wednesday's Market Alert, we included the analysis of Fed's recent statement with emphasis on the implications for precious metals. Today, we supplement it with our comments regarding the implications on the currency markets and the main stock indices. Among other things, we provide you with the path that the stock market is likely to follow in the coming weeks and months (based on a reliable pattern).

On top of that, we comment on the recent signal coming from one of our in-house-developed indicators, changes in our Correlation Matrix, Iran's steps to re-introducing gold as an international currency, USD and Euro Indices, the financial sector, gold from various perspectives (including GLD), silver / SLV, silver:gold ratio (what does the recent breakout in the ratio mean?), XAU and HUI Index, GDX ETF, GDX:SPY ratio and the Gold Miners Bullish Percent Index.

Gold stocks declined recently even without a move lower in the underlying metals - is this a warning signal that one should get out of the precious metals investments? How much more can miners decline? In today's issue we examine the situation and provide you with our views on that important matter. In particular, we analyze the HUI Index, GDX ETF and miner's ratios: mining stocks:other stocks and mining stocks:gold.

Additionally, today's Premium Update includes the analysis of gold, also from the non-USD and yen perspectives, GLD ETF, silver, SLV ETF, silver-to-gold ratio, platinum, USD Index, Euro Index, our Correlation Matrix, and S&P 500, SPY ETF, and more. We not only provide our thoughts on the short-term situation in the precious metals market, but also tell you how high is gold likely to go before a meaningful correction is seen (and why).

Stock market (including financials) rallied once again, but how long can it rally without a pause? What does yesterday's breakout in Euro Index mean for USD Index and - most of all - to precious metals investors and traders? This is also one of the things that we cover in today's report.

This week's Premium Update starts with an overview of the various gold-related events around the world. News comes from Athens, Mumbai, London, Philippines, Germany, and Hollywood.

The main part of our analysis focuses on the recent rally and what we can expect of the precious metals market in the near term. Gold and silver markets provide different signals and their combination increases the probability of a certain outcome. What is more, gold itself appears to be following a certain pattern which allows us to estimate how much higher it can go before a significant correction takes place.

Additionally, we analyze mining stocks' performance relative to gold, elaborate on the company's valuation method that means comparing company's gold reserves to its market cap, and comment on the possibility of a deflationary scenario based on problems in Europe.
