Crude futures dropped to a five-month low after the Labor Department reported a larger-than-expected rise in the unemployment rate to 6.1 percent, raising concerns about U.S. fuel demand. http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20080905/silver-prices-decline-as-oil-prices-fall.htm Fri, 05 Sep 2008 18:15:03 EDT Shares of some top silver companies were mixed at the close of trading: Hecla Mining rose $.40 or 6.9 percent, to $6.18. http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20080905/final-glance-silver-companies.htm Fri, 05 Sep 2008 18:03:58 EDT Gold prices rode wildly, and over a wide, near-$30 range in the time elapsed since yesterday at this time. On the very anniversary of the jobs report that sparked the Fed's non-stop rate cutting campaign one year ago, the markets got another employment diagnosis to remember. http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20080905/of-bubbles-and-bottoms-and-various-kinds-of-sniffing.htm Fri, 05 Sep 2008 14:38:55 EDT Shares of some top silver companies are mixed at noon: Hecla Mining rose $.24 or 4.2 percent, to $6.02. http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20080905/midday-glance-silver-companies.htm Fri, 05 Sep 2008 14:04:11 EDT Gold rose sharply soon after the poor unemployment report as the dollar fell and equities have again come under pressure with sharp falls in international markets. http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20080905/gold-investments-market-update.htm Fri, 05 Sep 2008 11:37:50 EDT Shares of some top silver companies are mixed at 10 a.m.: Hecla Mining rose $.13 or 2.2 percent, to $5.91. http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20080905/early-glance-silver-companies.htm Fri, 05 Sep 2008 10:49:55 EDT Over the past four days, global investors took flight like our common loon does in the fall, and they sent world markets of various kinds reeling. Their flight is no longer one headed towards other assets or safe havens; it is merely a plain flight for the exit signs. http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20080905/winged-fall-migration.htm Fri, 05 Sep 2008 10:03:12 EDT The sideways pattern silver has been in for the past two days was the reason behind the metal not responding to the heavy fluctuations in global markets. Today we expect the neutral patter to continue but if silver was able to break 12.44, a sharp descending channel will be triggered. The trading ra... http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20080905/fundamental-analysis-for-precious-metals-silver-9-5-2008.htm Fri, 05 Sep 2008 03:21:01 EDT Shares of some top silver companies were down at the close of trading: Hecla Mining fell $.73 or 11.2 percent, to $5.78. http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20080904/final-glance-silver-companies.htm Thu, 04 Sep 2008 17:54:42 EDT Once again, gold tried to edge higher early Thursday as oil briefly recaptured the $110 level and as European interest rate decision time neared. Most of bullion's morning gains evaporated however, after the Dow, crude oil, and the euro sank in unison. Bullion retreated to the sub $800 area for a third day in afternoon trading after its advance was thwarted by sellers. http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20080904/mervyn-king-not-now-my-darling.htm Thu, 04 Sep 2008 15:05:39 EDT Shares of some top silver companies are down at noon: Hecla Mining fell $.47 or 7.2 percent, to $6.04. http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20080904/midday-glance-silver-companies.htm Thu, 04 Sep 2008 13:12:31 EDT Following five sessions of losses, gold prices edged higher early Thursday as oil briefly recaptured the $110 level and as European interest rate decision time neared. The BoE did not adjust its key rate away from 5% as it is seen as stuck between slow growth and rising inflation. The ECB is largely expected to follow suit as it has its own set of similar difficulties to contend with. http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20080904/status-quo-weakness.htm Thu, 04 Sep 2008 11:30:16 EDT Shares of some top silver companies are mixed at 10 a.m.: Hecla Mining fell $.13 or 2.0 percent, to $6.38. http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20080904/early-glance-silver-companies.htm Thu, 04 Sep 2008 10:44:05 EDT Gold was flat in New York yesterday despite the increasingly bullish macro environment. Gold closed at $803.40 down $1.20 and silver closed at $12.92 down 12 cents. Gold rose in early trading in London but has subsequently given up some of the gains as the dollar has rallied again (1.4456 to EUR). http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20080904/gold-investments-market-update-gold-fell-some-50-in-middle-of-1970s-bull-market-prior-to-rising-800.htm Thu, 04 Sep 2008 07:58:42 EDT A neutral trend has been created just as we expected yesterday as we believe it will also continue for today where trading below the 13.95 level and above the 12.45 level is a sideways pattern on the short term. As for the medium term trend, it remains to the downside and this sideways correction is... http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20080904/fundamental-analysis-for-precious-metals-silver-9-4-2008.htm Thu, 04 Sep 2008 03:21:02 EDT Silver prices declined again on Wednesday, following a modest decline in oil prices and the ongoing recovery in the dollar versus the euro and pound. Because precious metals are often used to hedge against a falling dollar, the dollar's rebound has led many traders to sell off silver. http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20080903/silver-prices-finish-below-13-an-ounce.htm Wed, 03 Sep 2008 18:01:23 EDT Shares of some top silver companies were down at the close of trading: Hecla Mining fell $.37 or 5.4 percent, to $6.51. http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20080903/final-glance-silver-companies.htm Wed, 03 Sep 2008 18:01:17 EDT Gold headed back to revisit Tuesday's low of $790 and then recovered once again before the close of futures trading, to climb back to just above $800 per ounce. The dollar gained further ground this morning, inching closer to 78.50 on the index, but gave up most of those gains after oil prices regained nearly $1 of their own earlier losses. http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20080903/a-flock-of-ospraies.htm Wed, 03 Sep 2008 16:39:45 EDT
