  • Gold & Silver Trading Alert: PMs Decline on Huge Volume

    March 18, 2014, 1:05 PM

    Gold, silver and mining stocks declined yesterday. Even though the key support lines were not broken, we saw some invalidations of the previous breakouts, which invalidations were bearish signs on their own. How much did that change? How does it relate to the situation in Ukraine and the outcome of the referendum and what everyone's doing about it? The situation is complex, but in our opinion there's a way to position oneself in this environment.

    Is this really the case? Is the relationship between gold and interest rates really carved in stone?

    March 12, 2014, 3:23 PM

    While there was not much going on in the precious metals market, quite a lot happened in copper. It declined heavily and moved below the 2013 lows. This might not seem an important event from the precious metals investor's point of view, but that is only until you consider the fact that copper has often led gold higher or lower in the past. Read today's alert for more details.
