Gold, Silver, Metal Prices Commentary – 3/10/2010
Gold held steady overnight and its trading range has thus far been confined to only about $10 –between $1120 and $1130. Then again, steadiness was the operative word in the US dollar as well, and the euro did not show too much further movement after falling to a fresh one-month low of under 1.461 against the Swiss franc. The latter had gained against the common currency as speculators manifested a large pile-in into the currency until the SNB fired off a shot across the gamblers’ bow by reportedly stepping into the market and intervening. Take zat!
No further developments were reported on the Greek odyssey front, following a largely symbolic show of support by US President Obama during his tete-a-tete with Greek PM Papandreou. There really isn’t much the US can do for Greece at this moment, but nods of approval for the country’s efforts are always a nice thing to offer…Meanwhile, the EC is still at work sorting out the details of a putative European Monetary Fund (EMF?) designed to help Greece and Portugal through their respective credit travails. For its part, Portugal has now also offered a deficit-reduction plan intended to boost (fast-slipping) investor confidence levels.

Gold Slips Toward $1100/oz, Silver Retreats to $17/oz
New York gold approached $1,130 an ounce earlier on Wednesday only to fall 1.3 percent and finish toward $1,100 an ounce by day’s close. Various factors for the decline were cited, including apprehension over forthcoming economic reports from China and futures liquidation with more than 1 million ounces of the yellow metal sold.
In other metals and markets, silver and platinum retreated 1.8 percent and 0.4 percent, respectively. Crude oil, which gold often follows, rose to above $82 a barrel and an eight-week high following unexpected data from the Energy Information Administration. US stocks climbed modestly for a second straight day.

Royal Canadian Mint to Change Coin Compositions
Ottawa, Ontario — As part of the Government of Canada’s budget announcement to modernize Canada’s currency , the Royal Canadian Mint will change the composition of one-dollar and two-dollar coins, using the Corporation’s cost-effective patented multi-ply plated steel technology.

Gold Ends Mildly Lower, Silver Advances Slightly
New York bullion futures were mixed on Tuesday, with gold and platinum closing mildly lower while silver ended slightly higher. Gold reached its lowest price since Feb. 26 as the US dollar strengthened against the euro. Pundits also linked gold weakness to comments from China’s top foreign exchange manager signaling that the yellow metal would not likely be a main reserve investment.
In other markets, crude oil edged down for the first time in three days while US stock marked modest gains — although enough for the Nasdaq to finish at a new 18-month high.

Gold, Silver, Metal Prices Commentary – 3/9/2010
Which Part of "Bu Dui" Is Unclear?
Good Day,
Gold prices fell to a one-week low of under $1115.00 per ounce overnight as the US dollar continued its recent climb and reached 80.74 on the trade-weighted index. The rallies in risk assets came under pressure as perception resurfaced that this type of speculation has been largely underpinned by generous liquidity and ultra-low interest rate and that it has a finite shelf-life in the big scheme of things.
The euro also continued under selling pressure early this morning as the Greek situation appears to remain without an obvious and/or imminent solution. The common currency was last seen trading near 1.354 against the greenback ahead of the closed-door meeting between US and Greek leaders today.
