Are we going to see more problems with the economy and the massive US debt? Are interest rates set to rise? Is the housing market ever going to come back? We will try to address these and all of your questions in today's show. Please tune in at 12:00pm EST!

Commodity Chart of The Week

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Each week longleaftrading.com will be providing us with a commodity chart of the week as analyzed by a member of their team. We hope that you enjoy and learn from this new feature.

Often times it is easy to get carried away with looking at what is front of us to forget what is around us.  Let’s begin this today acknowledging the price action of late in the corn market has been lackluster at best.  After such a robust market move this summer, where we saw record corn prices at $8.41/bushel’ the market has been consolidating that move since.  The threat of the extreme dryness ended as we moved into harvest in the late fall and that sent a huge percentage of long specs to the sidelines.

We now sit at $6.85/bushel and most of the news flow remains negative.  Commercials are not anxious buyers of corn and the demand numbers of late have been week.  Calendar spreads (March/May) do not provide elevators an incentive to sit on their stocks looking for a time to sell in the future.  This has pushed a lot of grain forward to the cash market, suppressing the price.

Weekly export sales have also been very slow.  Last week came in at 49,100.  Because the market needs to see sales at 464,000 tonnes to reach the USDA forecast, this leaves the market in need of a lot of foreign buying to get back on track to meet that forecast.

Mark Lackey Homes in on Golden Mining Opportunities in West Africa

Posted on by admin

The Gold Report: When you last spoke with The Gold Report this past March, gold had just dropped from its first peak of the year, from $1,781/ounce (oz) at the end of February to $1,660/oz in a matter of three weeks. Now it's looking for support at $1,700/oz. The trading range you predicted for 2012 looks good in retrospect. What are you projecting from here?

Mark Lackey: I'm looking at a range from $1,680/oz to $1,850/oz, and moving up over the year so that by December I am expecting to see the gold price at $1,850/oz.

TGR: But you don't see a big breakout past $2,000/oz that some people are predicting?

ML: It's possible, but for the gold price to go much higher than $1,850/oz there needs to be a good reason, such as a big decline in the value of the U.S. dollar or major gold buying by central banks. While I expect the dollar will weaken somewhat in 2013, I don't expect a huge decline. Over the next few years we'll get above $2,000/oz, but probably not in 2013.

TGR: What do you see as the market drivers for gold at this time? Continue reading "Mark Lackey Homes in on Golden Mining Opportunities in West Africa" →
