    Could be relevant to gold and silver.....



    The
    price of platinum could increase by 50% in 2008, according to a
    poll of analysts by the Reuters news agency. Prices are pushed higher
    by production problems in South Africa and a rise in demand for
    catalytic converters using the metal to filter fumes. The poll sees the
    median price of platinum at US$2,000 an ounce in 2008 and US$2,100
    in 2009. It was US$1,304 in 2007. Anglo American, which produces

    40% of world platinum output, has been hit by power cuts and strikes

    Default Now that is interesting.............

    The most useful EMA indicator for trading gold over nearly 32 years was to buy gold when the U.S. dollar crosses below its 7-week EMA and to sell gold when the dollar crosses above its 7-week EMA. This inverse strategy would have gained more than 889% before trading costs and without any leverage. Nearly 52% of the 282 trades would have been profitable, which is pretty good for a trend-following strategy.
    Gold moves directly with the trend of the Swiss franc (using a 5-week EMA crossover) and the trend of crude oil (using a 12-week EMA crossover). These make good intuitive sense: Gold should go up when the Swiss franc (a hard currency with gold backing) and crude oil (another inflation-sensitive commodity) are rising.
    My testing found an inverse relationship with gold and 10-year T-note yields. This might be spurious, however, because it lacks logic and has been unprofitable since 2003, as 10-year interest rates and gold both rose together. I also doubt the validity of trading gold based on the DJIA or S&P 500. Stocks are not always a good hedge against inflation, and this indicator's Cumulative Equity Curve is too erratic to be reliable.
    I conclude that the U.S. dollar (inverse trend), Swiss franc (direct trend), and crude oil (direct trend) are the best and most logical external relationship trend indicators for gold. ...........................


    These indicators have been much more profitable than the trend of the gold price itself.

    Gold and Silver: Looking More Precious,

    In June, South Africa saw its gold production plummet 12.3% year over year as power cuts interrupted mining. The country has now fallen firmly behind China in global gold production.
    Meanwhile, demand is still rising from both funds (a new gold fund recently opened in Hong Kong) and people who tuck gold away under the mattress.
    Last week, the World Gold Council reported that demand for gold rose 7% to 736 metric tonnes in the second quarter, compared with the first quarter. And the pace of buying may be picking up — gold dealers in Singapore and Dubai have reported turning away customers looking for one-ounce coins, while the Times of India reports "a shortage of the yellow metal" at local bullion banks.
    Money is also pouring into Barclay's iShares Silver Trust (SLV). It now holds 208 million ounces of silver — nearly 40% of annual global mine production — and the trust recently had to add more than 8.5 million ounces of silver in just three days!
    In one of the more eyebrow-raising stories I've seen lately, the U.S. Mint briefly suspended sales of American Eagle bullion coins. Government officials say sales are about 50% more than in all of 2007.
    "Due to the unprecedented demand for American Eagle gold one-ounce bullion coins, our inventories have been depleted. We are therefore temporarily suspending all sales of these coins," the U.S. Mint told authorized coin dealers. "We hope to resume sales shortly."
    American Eagle gold coins are in short supply right now ... The Mint did resume sales, but on a limited basis — literally rationing American Eagles among its customers. Here's a clear-cut case of supply being unable to meet demand.
    It seems to me that the price of gold in the futures market is too low, pushed down by the frantic selling of hedge funds that are leveraged to their eyeballs.
    There's only one way to fix this disconnect — higher prices. And as hedge funds rush to cover, the snap-back could make your head spin.

    Default re silver.....

    its possible though, and I seem to recall reading it somewhere that there is no shortage of actual silver.... merely a shortage of pressed Eagles.... because the USA govt is obliged by law to provide these to people when they want them. I'm no conspiracy nut but it does seem odd that they wont provide Eagles even when the price has fallen so far and there must be the actual stuff available at these lower prices. so it does make one wonder what is going on... eg fuel for conspiracy theories.

    I guess I find it hard to believe in a shortage when the price has plummetted so much recently. I still have 2/3rds of my accumulated holding (silver) but my stop lossed got triggered on the other. I'm still buying the occasional coin on TradeMe where I can acquire it at bullion value.
