Trading Metals: Markets & Prices
Trading Metals in Precious Metals Markets can be tough and difficult to gain profit. Lacking of information and news about Future Markets can lead to the losses and risks. Here, this is about the moves in Precious Metals Markets.
Precious metals had a very tough & difficult week as prices pulled back significantly with gold trending down to $1,100 and Silver briefly trading below $17. The USD slid by a very small percentage against other major currencies but this did not impact the gold market as prices still declined and fell. Silver Future still looks to be the better play with prices stabilizing better than gold, but it is interesting how the Euro seems to be breaking out a bit from the USD trading at $1.3760 - its highest level in 3 weeks. “Gold cannot muster any movement to the upside. I still see gold trying to trend lower below $1,100 before getting back on its feet. Look to buy some dips below $1,100 here with silver a potential play at $16.”

Gold Falls After Biggest Rally in Three Months, Dollar Rebounds
Gold weakened as some investors opted to sell the metal after the biggest advance in three months and the dollar resumed its rise against major currencies.
Gold for immediate delivery fell 0.2 percent to $1,103.35 an ounce at 2:39 p.m. Singapore time, paring yesterday’s 2.3 percent gain, the biggest advance since Nov. 3. The greenback rose 0.2 percent against a basket of six currencies, approaching the highest level since July 2009, after Australia’s central bank unexpectedly kept its benchmark interest rate unchanged.
“The rally is luring some buyers to lock in gains,” said Yu Kyung Kyu, a trader with Eugene Investment & Futures Co. in Seoul. Still, “some are betting on a further rally given that gold’s passed the key $1,085 support level.”
Bullion, which typically moves inversely to the dollar, declined for a second month in January as the dollar rallied 2 percent against the six-currency basket. The metal reached a record $1,226.56 on Dec. 3.

Trading Metals 101
Nowadays, Trading Metals are one of the hottest topics in Trading Metals Future Markets; it is obvious that investors and traders want to get into and participate in the Precious Metals Market and buy Metals – and why not? The Prices of Gold keep continuing to move higher in the uncertain economic times we are in; the Prices of Gold are fluctuating due to the economic status. When the crisis passed by, the Prices of Gold seem to be stable, but there are still some changes in Metals Markets. In addition, investors and traders seem to be inclined to invest their money into the Precious Metals Futures whether it is a hedge against inflation, or a speculative play. However, you should remember that you only have to use you money that you can afford to lose or within your means when the Precious Metals Futures Markets can quickly go against you in these volatile times.
“Trading the Precious Metals Futures there is a price in USD, buy limits- stops, and sell limits-stops.” Futures Markets mean you have to bear your own risks and losses when trading Precious Metals; you trade these Precious Metals Futures month in advance and they will expire at the end of their trading month. “For instance, say we are headed into March right now, the next available Precious Metals Futures contract would be April, 1 month in advance and would expire at the end of March. Also in Precious Metals Futures if you were to buy April Gold and hold it until expiration, then you would be forced to take delivery from the seller who sold you the specific contract.” That is why when trading Precious Metals, you must have a good understanding about Metals Futures Markets and especially, get the up-to-date information about the Prices of Metals in Future. However, when signing the agreement, do not just think that you can get out of this binding agreement because you cannot, as there will be the exact amount of Gold that you paid for at your doorstep, and a hefty bill. Do not worry however as 90% of the Precious Metals Futures Markets liquidate before delivery can happen. “Precious Metals Futures Market is a place to hedge & speculate."
When reaching the agreements of contracts, you can also sell Gold contracts without having to “borrow” contracts from others like you see in the equity markets. This can explain why all Futures accounts are margin accounts. In addition, as for margin, because there is substantially less margin to put up, you can have more leverage trading in a Futures account…This can be understood that usually the standard deposit is around 10 percent, so you can essentially control 100 percent of the contract just by putting 10 percent down. With that great advantage comes great risk, so you have to take the good with the bad.
