Market Realist•9 hours agoDoes Gold Miners’ Declining Production Herald Tighter Supply?
Goldcorp (GG) produced 571,000 ounces of gold in the second quarter, a fall of ~10.0% YoY (year-over-year). Barrick Gold (ABX) produced ~1.07 million ounces of gold in the second quarter, reflecting a fall of ~25.0% YoY. Part of Barrick Gold’s lower production was expected due to lower ore grades, recovery at the Barrick Nevada oxide mill, and scheduled maintenance shutdowns at the Barrick Nevada and Pueblo Viejo autoclaves.

Gold prices haven’t been able to catch a break even as geopolitical concerns have become more pronounced. On August 15, gold prices fell to a 19-month low of $1,173 per ounce as the US dollar continued its winning streak. The precious metal appears to have lost some of its safe-haven appeal.

Silver Price Forecast – Silver markets quietly positive on Monday
Silver markets were slightly positive during the day on Monday, gaining 0.33% as I sat down to record this video. However, we still have a significant amount of resistance above at the $15.00 level, and I think there is a certain amount of supply at the $15.80 level. With this in mind, I think choppiness is probably expected.

Natural gas markets rallied a bit during the day on Monday, using the $2.90 level as support. By bouncing from there, it looks as if the market is trying to find its footing, and perhaps reach towards the $2.95 level, and then possibly even reach towards the psychologically and structurally important level above there.

The British pound recovered slightly during the Monday session, reaching towards the ¥141 level. This pair is highly sensitive to risk appetite and will move with the headlines involving the United States and China. Beyond that though, we have the Brexit that is going to influence this market, so it adds another layer of concern.

Natural Gas Price Fundamental Daily Forecast – Looking for Move into $2.865 to $2.833
The early price action suggests that sellers are in control. If they can take out last week’s low at $2.898 with conviction then prices should slide into $2.865. The key area to watch is $2.838 to $2.833. We could see the return of buyers on the first test of this area. If it fails then look for a steep break into $2.799.

If the dollar weakens this week then look for gold to spike into at least $1205.90 to $1215.10. Don’t be surprised if short-sellers get squeezed enough to drive this market higher this week.

Oil Price Fundamental Daily Forecast – Supply Disruption Needed to Avoid Slow Grind Lower
It’s a simple equation driving the price action at this time – demand seems to be slowing and supply looks to be rising. Further erosion in emerging market currencies and reports of growing supply this week could trigger a fresh round of selling pressure. I don’t think the emerging market situation will right itself immediately, which means the only factor that could spike prices higher will be an unexpected supply disruption.

Natural Gas Price Fundamental Weekly Forecast – Average Temps, Steady-to-Higher Production Should Limit Gains
With natural gas rapidly approaching the so-called “Shoulder Season”, bearish traders are counting on a big drop in demand and a steady-to-higher rise in production. In a perfect situation, this scenario should lead to lower prices over the near-term. In order for a bearish scenario to develop, temperatures are going to have to remain at average or below average levels and production has to remain over 80 Bcf/d.

Price of Gold Fundamental Weekly Forecast – Direction Could Be Influenced by Central Bankers’ Remarks at Jackson Hole Symposium
Gold futures finished lower last week after spiking to its lowest level since the week-ending December 23, 2016. The catalyst behind the selling pressure was a stronger U.S. Dollar which surged to its highest level since the week-ending May 19, 2017. The rally in the dollar was fueled by a sell-off in emerging market currencies which was triggered by a collapse in the Turkish Lira.
