Metals Market News

Together in a good year the industry spends about $2 billion more than it generates in earnings and takeovers. In a bad year the industry loses $8 billion more than it generates, Rick Rule of Global Resource Investments warned, in what he termed the “price loss ratio.”

Thursday’s announcement from the Chinese Ministry of Commerce included some minor adjustments to the quotas allocated in this second batch of confirmed allocations, resulting from the subsequent inclusion of data relating to the last months of 2011.

Once every year gold and stocks form a major yearly cycle low. Commodities form a major cycle bottom every 2 1/2 to 3 years. Every once in a while all three of these major cycles hit at the same time. I'm pretty sure that's what is happening right now.

Wholesale market gold prices climbed as high as $1,594 an ounce during Friday morning's London trading, jumping 1.5% in the first two hours, while Eurozone stocks looked to have stemmed four days of losses despite Greece and Spain seeing negative ratings decisions.
