Gold and Silver Market Recap Report for 07-09-10
Gold Market Analysis Report for 7/9/2010
The bull camp seemed to have a number of potential reasons for the surprise rally on Friday morning. Perhaps the market was a touch oversold or perhaps the market saw some reason to revive the flight to quality track. Apparently a ratings agency put some Irish instruments on a negative watch, while others saw something within the EU stress test rules that prompted some fresh concern. It is even possible that rumors of tighter cash market reporting rules inspired some buyers to act this morning. With an interest rate hike in Asia overnight and favorable Canadian employment readings some bulls might have decided to buy because of the fear of inflation, but to most that was an empty argument.
Silver MarketCommentary Report for 7/9/2010
The September silver showed some initial weakness this morning but then managed to forge a fairly impressive mid morning recovery bounce. It is possible that silver was being lifted by flight to quality rumors or it is possible that silver was being lifted by increased cash demand rumors because of a story circulating on blogs regarding the tracking of cash silver purchases in 2012. It would seem unlikely that a tax change proposed for 2012 would prompt a noted wave of buying today and therefore it is possible that flight to quality pre-weekend speculation was behind some of the buying of silver today.
After reading the gold and silver recap, traders might want to take a peek at the commercial traders momentum. The Commercial Trader momentum can be tracked by using the Commodity Futures Trading Commission Commitment of Traders reports. Our idea is that, in a value driven commodity futures market no one knows fair value like the people who produce it or, have to use it. In fact, it is precisely their sense of value that provides the commodity market’s rhythmic meanderings that swing traders love so much. Let’s face it, producers know when their product is overvalue and it should be sold just as well as end line users know when they should be stocking up at low prices. Therefore, trader should be able to incorporate this valuable information into their commodity trading system.
