Posted on by The INO.com Team

Precious metals expert Michael Ballanger reviews a number of the key elements that have characterized 2016's advance in gold, silver and the associated mining, development and exploration stocks.

With the summer of 2016 passing by at an alarming pace, I think it is important to take a few moments away from the enchanting beauty of Georgian Bay and review a number of the key elements that have characterized 2016's breathtaking advance in gold, silver and the associated mining, development and exploration stocks. While gold bullion is ahead 26.6% year-to-date, the gold mining stocks have demonstrated their incredible contained leverage and why, when the market operates properly, they are vastly more rewarding than the physical metals themselves. However, the 2016 advance has had many analysts questioning the integrity of this latest move as the HUI (NYSE Arca Gold BUGS Index) and the XAU (Philadelphia Gold and Silver Index) have defied gravity, the laws of physics, the Law of Diminishing Returns, and just about every other law that historically pertains to the behavior of stocks.

What A Week: Gold, Oil and Stocks All Higher

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello MarketClub members everywhere. It has been quite a week with gold, stocks and oil all moving in the same direction and that is higher. I have said this before; it is sometimes best to just to go with the flow and not try to overthink or inject what you may feel fundamentally about the market.

Signs Are Silver Bull Market Is Consolidating

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Having hit a target, silver has formed what is believed to be an intermediate top over the past five weeks or so, which it should soon start to descend from, says technical analyst Clive Maund.

Silver 8-month chart

On its three-month chart, we can see this presumed topping pattern started with the appearance of a prominent "Gravestone Doji" or "Shooting Star" candlestick early in July, with its negative implications being amplified by its having occurred on very high volume. While moving averages are in bullish alignment, the now yawning gap between the 50-day and 200-day makes a correction likely. After dipping back during August, the price rallied toward the highs early this month, and then failed, dropping hard on Friday, making it very likely that a Double Top is completing.

Global Unease Pushes Gold Higher

Posted on by The INO.com Team

This morning the gold market is pushing higher and it is within $18 of making a new high for the year. I'm sure this is not because of all the gold that has been won by the U.S. team in Rio, but rather to a global uneasiness hat has permeated the year so far.

MarketClub's Mid-day Market Report

In today's video, I will be analyzing gold (FOREX:XAUUSDO) and the gold mining stocks that I have discussed before. The stocks are Newmont Mining (NYSE:NEM) and Barrick Gold Corporation (NYSE:ABX). Both of these stocks are set to go significantly higher based on the Trade Triangles and their technical chart counts.

I will also be analyzing crude oil (NYMEX:CL.U16.E) and showing you a key level that I see that could pop crude up several dollars in a short period.

After their big push up last Friday, the equity markets have come to a somewhat stationary position. However, that has not altered the longer-term trend that I see in the indices which are currently in an uptrend. I will be examining each of these indexes individually and giving you my latest thoughts on the trends in each of these markets. Continue reading "Global Unease Pushes Gold Higher" →
