Commodities Daily Forecast – January 16, 2019
The gold prices are continuing its move around the $1290 level as it is facing extreme resistance in breaking above the psychologically important $1300 level. If it breaks above the $1300 level, then it can reach towards the $1400 level in the long term, with some selling at every $25 until it reaches there. The $1250 level underneath is strong and hard support for the market and is unlikely to breach. …Read MoreSilver

Gold Price Prediction – Prices Consolidate Following Brexit
Gold prices moved sideways in the wake of the Brexit vote which as widely expected defeated the Prime Minister Teressa May. The markets had discounted a no vote, which led to some short-covering in the pound. The easing of the dollar helped buoy gold prices. Momentum, as reflected by the MACD (moving average convergence divergence) index, is also negative as the index generated a crossover sell signal.

Gold Veteran Says Bigger May Not Be Better as M&A Blitz Hits
Rising gold prices and a hunt to boost additional reserves of the precious metal have spurred Newmont Mining Corp. and Barrick Gold Corp. to acquire rival companies and add more operations. “The thesis being offered is that bigger is better, and historically in the gold sector that hasn’t proven to be value creating for shareholders,” Jake Klein, executive chairman of Sydney-based Evolution Mining Ltd., said by phone on Tuesday. Mid-sized and small producers including Evolution and Canada’s Wesdome Gold Mines Ltd. are among those to have outperformed larger competitors over the past six years.

Newmont Deal for Goldcorp Further Erodes Canada’s Gold Clout
Perhaps stung by the nationalistic backlash against Barrick Gold Corp.’s merger with Randgold Resources Ltd., Newmont Mining Corp. devoted a big chunk of its news release Monday explaining how its $10 billion offer for Vancouver-based Goldcorp Inc. will help Canada. Like “New Barrick,” which no longer has its top executives in Canada, Newmont Goldcorp’s incoming chief executive officer and current chairwoman are expected to remain in the U.S. While some jobs will flow from Nevada to the miner’s new regional base for North America in Vancouver, it’s hard to imagine the influence of that city not waning as a result of the deal.

Jim Cramer Suggests Nervous Investors Buy Gold Now
Jim Cramer Suggests Nervous Investors Buy Gold Now ## Cramer suggests adding gold Mad Money host Jim Cramer is advising investors to invest in gold (IAU) if they’re concerned about the Fed’s interest rate policy and the trade conflict between the US (SPY) (IVV) and China (FXI). Cramer said, “If you’re looking for an insurance policy against volatility and economic uncertainty, gold is a great way to go.” He added, “While I like the stock market here, as you know, now that the Fed has decided to be more patient, the whole point of diversification is to be prepared in case something goes wrong … and your thesis doesn’t pan out.” Read Bulls versus Bears on Wall Street: Time to Buy Gold in 2019? for major analysts’ take on the gold price outlook in 2019. ## What should investors buy? However, Cramer doesn’t recommend buying the actual metal. Instead, he recommends direct exposure through the SPDR Gold Shares (GLD), which is the largest gold-backed ETF. He thinks that GLD and other gold mining ETFs (GDX) (NUGT) reduce risk and inconvenience. In addition to GLD, Cramer also recommends a high-quality gold producer like Barrick Gold (GOLD). Recently, Barrick Gold and Randgold Resources’ merger was finalized, which canceled Randgold’s London listing. ## Barrick-Randgold merger created a mining behemoth Regarding the Barrick Gold and Randgold Resources merger, Cramer likes the merged company. He said, “The company has the lowest total cash costs among its peers — I like that — [and] it has a nicely diversified portfolio of assets across the world — I love that.” Read Is Barrick Worth a Look after Its Merger with Randgold? for more details on the new company’s operating metrics and its outlook after the merger.

Natural Gas Price Prediction – Prices Rise to End the Week
Natural gas prices are attempting to move higher on Friday, as colder than normal weather is finally making its way into the northeast. The weather pattern is still warm for the southern portion of the United States, which will mean that weather might not play a significant factor in demand use. An agreement with China and the potential to use an increasing amount of LNG which will be exported could significantly increase natural gas demand. Natural gas prices are bounding above support which is an upward sloping trendline that comes in near 2.90.
