Gold has worked down from Alexander's time... When something holds good for two thousand years I do not believe it can be so because of prejudice or mistaken theory.

A term not used in quite some time but if commodities continue to surge higher as they did this week expect this word to re-emerge. The 20 day MA has supported Crude for the last four sessions; in June at $107.70. We’re still expecting a trade lower but on a settlement above $111/barrel we would exit shorts. Natural gas will end higher on the week but we still need to see a trade above the 200 day MA to get more long interest; our target remains$4.45/4.50 in July. The 50 day MA’s remain the pivot ...
Higher high and higher low in Crude today…we could get a slight bounce from here but aggressive traders are advised to fade this rally as $102/103 is our target in the June contract.

Natural gas traded above the 50 day MA but has yet to settle above that pivot point. We favor long exposure in July contracts with a ...
Perhaps an interim top in Crude as prices are down over 4% today with the front month trading back near $109/barrel. We expect to see some downside follow through in tomorrow's session and have a first target at the 20 day MA, about $3 from current pricing. That should equate to a 15-20 correction in the distillates as well. In our opinion natural gas is a buy.we're suggesting July futures or July bull call spreads. We feel there is roughly 20 cents of ...
By Dian L. Chu, EconMatters In early March, White House Chief of Staff Bill Daley told NBC that the Administration was considering releasing oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) if it deems the high oil prices would threaten the U.S. economic recovery. President Obama, in a press conference on March 11, also reiterated that a plan to tap the SPR was "teed up" and said he would move quickly should ‘conditions’ worsen. However, the ...
