3 Investments For When The Gold Sell-Off Ends

By: David Sterman of Street Authority

As 2012 came to a close, investors increasingly questioned the wisdom of owning gold or gold-related stocks and funds. After all, a commodity known as an inflation hedge is of dubious value when inflation is nonexistent. And for investors who still expected the Federal Reserve's aggressive stimulus efforts to eventually fuel inflation, patience was starting to wear thin.

What began as a steady exodus out of gold in the winter morphed into something a lot more dramatic this spring. In the past few months, gold has endured a pair of scary plunges that has pushed even its most ardent supporters to the sidelines. Gold prices now sit at their lowest levels in nearly three years.

Weekly Gold Report (June 24th through June 28th)

Selling pressure carries over from last week to begin the last five trading days of June.

Grain Futures-- The grain market was mixed this week as soybean prices in the November contract settled right near session lows finishing down $.12 at 12.73 and as I’ve written about in many previous blogs I am very bearish the grain sector & I think prices are way over priced with solid weather here in the United States which should produce a record crop along with a very pessimistic commodity market as interest rates are starting to move to the upside very quickly pushing commodity prices sharply lower as well as the S&P 500 which was in a terrific bull market for some quite time but prices are headed lower in my opinion. Corn futures bucked the trend this week settling last Friday at 5.33 up about $.22 trading above their 20 and 100 day moving average right near 4 month highs, however I have been wrong on this trade but I remain extremely bearish corn prices and I think one of these days to come in corn could go limit down across the board as a 2 billion carryover is only 3 months away in my opinion. Wheat futures continued a 14 week consolidation down $.03 with absolutely no trend in sight and I’m waiting for a break out just like what happened in the live cattle contract to the upside as long consolidations in my opinion could be a terrific buy or sell because the trend is generally very powerful after at least a 12 week breakout.
