Precious Metal Futures—The precious metal futures ended lower this Friday afternoon with gold finishing down about $7 an ounce at 1,322 after settling last Friday at 1,293 up about $30 for the week which is pretty solid and I have been recommending buying gold when it broke out to a 4 week high above 1,302 and I still think gold has more room to run on the upside but make sure you do place a stop loss at the 10 day low if you are long the futures contract to try & minimize risk in case the trend does change. Gold futures are right at the uptrend line and if that is broken I think prices could head up to $1,400 here in the next month but I would be very suspicious & doubt if it has any more legs to pass those levels. The U.S dollar has been down substantially in recent weeks and that is helped push gold and silver prices higher as well as many hedge funds have taking profits on their short positions in recent weeks.

Precious Metal Futures-- The precious metals had one of the best weeks to the upside in quite some time because of statements from Ben Bernanke coming out basically stating he’s going to continue QE3 forever which put the fire under gold prices up 4 days in a row before Friday as profit taking set in down about $3 at 1,277 an ounce after settling last Friday 1,212 now trading at 1,278 above its 20 day moving average but below its 100 day moving average and now has started to form  excellent chart structure with a possible bottom being formed in recent weeks hitting a 3 week high in yesterday’s trade. I have been bearish gold and the precious metals for quite some time but I’m recommending to sit on the sidelines with a possible break out to the upside which is pretty amazing as I’ve been bearish forever but the trend can change very quickly so I’m looking at gold to the upside if it breaks out above 1300. Silver futures for the September contract are right at their 20 day moving average but below their 100 day moving average also at a 3 week high also developing excellent chart structure settling last Friday at 18.73 up around $1.00 this week currently going out around 19.78 an ounce and if you’re looking to get long this market I would buy a futures mini contract and place a stop below the contract low risking around $1500 per contract.

Grain Futures--- The grain market today continued its bearish momentum with soybeans for the November contract down another $.21 at 12.30 a bushel as private estimates are starting to come out with 44 bushels per acre which could create a 3.40 billion bushel crop which would be their all-time record crop pressuring the new crop soybeans as the weather has been outstanding in recent weeks. Remember soybeans are trading far below their 20 and 100 day moving average looking to break major support at $12 and in my opinion I do believe prices are headed substantially lower here in the near future as the weather in the Midwest is absolutely astonishing with mild temperatures and constant rain and I believe record crops across the board in the next 3 months are coming.

Grain Futures--- The grain market sold off sharply in the new crop grains with November soybeans down $.24 at 12.51 a bushel hitting new 4 week lows as outstanding weather in the Midwest is pressuring prices with the USDA crop report coming out stating that this is the 3rd highest acreage in history at 76.1 million acres up 1% from last year and as I’ve been recommending in many previous blogs to continue to sell the soybeans I do believe prices are headed sharply lower from these levels. Soybean prices in the November contract are trading below their 20 and 100 day moving average settling right at session lows this Friday afternoon in Chicago and I do believe you will see further weakness next week as generally the Fourth of July weekend is the top in the grain market. July soybeans hit a new contract high of 15.74 finishing up about $.16 as the spread between old crop and new crop hit a new high today as supplies are very small in the July contract and could be very large in the November contract in a couple of months.

Grain Futures-- The grain market was mixed this week as soybean prices in the November contract settled right near session lows finishing down $.12 at 12.73 and as I’ve written about in many previous blogs I am very bearish the grain sector & I think prices are way over priced with solid weather here in the United States which should produce a record crop along with a very pessimistic commodity market as interest rates are starting to move to the upside very quickly pushing commodity prices sharply lower as well as the S&P 500 which was in a terrific bull market for some quite time but prices are headed lower in my opinion. Corn futures bucked the trend this week settling last Friday at 5.33 up about $.22 trading above their 20 and 100 day moving average right near 4 month highs, however I have been wrong on this trade but I remain extremely bearish corn prices and I think one of these days to come in corn could go limit down across the board as a 2 billion carryover is only 3 months away in my opinion. Wheat futures continued a 14 week consolidation down $.03 with absolutely no trend in sight and I’m waiting for a break out just like what happened in the live cattle contract to the upside as long consolidations in my opinion could be a terrific buy or sell because the trend is generally very powerful after at least a 12 week breakout.
