Gold has traded between $1,225 and $1,232 so far today…as of 11:15 am Pacific, the yellow metal is up $3 an ounce at $1,229…Silver is 8 cents higher at $17.37…Copper is unchanged at $2.68…Nickel is up 3 cents at $4.67…Crude Oil is steady at $48.80 while the U.S. Dollar Index, headed for one of its biggest weekly losses over the past 6 months, is down slightly at 100.23…
The combination of the Federal Reserve not signaling an acceleration of normalization, and perceptions that the European Central Bank and the Bank of England can raise rates earlier than anticipated, has weighed on the greenback this week and that has allowed commodities and the Venture to rebound…the Venture is currently battling resistance around its 50-day moving average (SMA) where it backed off from this morning…
Finance leaders from the G-20 are meeting today and tomorrow in Germany, the first G-20 meeting since the U.S. elections…
Silver prices are up nearly 10% for the year to date, and the Silver Institute says this is largely due to improving sentiment toward the precious metal among institutional investors…changing expectations regarding the outlook for U.S. interest rates and the proliferation of negative policy rates across other key reserve currencies has rekindled institutional investor interest in precious metals, according to the Silver Institute…an improvement in Silver industrial offtake is also helping, the organization says…these factors have fueled investment inflows into Silver futures, options, ETF products and over-the-counter products. “We expect that the factors that buoyed institutional Silver investment over much of 2016, and have carried over into the early months of 2017, will remain relevant for the remainder of this year,” said Michael DiRienzo, executive director of the Silver Institute…
Oil prices will finish the week with a modest gain after losing almost 10% last week on concerns that an OPEC production cut was failing to reduce a global supply overhang…as we mentioned in 7 @ 7:00 this morning, though, the media has been ignoring the demand side of the equation and that’s where some positive surprises could emerge to prevent Crude from falling below critical support around $46 a barrel…
The Baker Hughes weekly rig count is just out – it rose by 14 Oil rigs to a total of 631, continuing a recovery that began in June…at this time last year, drillers were operating 387 Oil rigs in U.S. fields…

Watch WDO on Monday. An apparent news leak slip of the tongue. It had insane volume the last 10 minutes with over 1,000 trades. Most bought by anon and the big boys.

Arcus Development Group (ADG, TSX-V) and Independence Gold (IGO, TSX-V) are also stocks with projects within the Dawson Range. Goldcorp owns 19.9% of both.

Someone forgot to tell WDO the market closes at 4 pm. Over 6 million in volume and almost 1,000 trades after 4.

WDO – they put her to sleep at 16:57, I saw 600k and 400k blocks going through after hours

WDO – is getting added to the S&P/TSX indice on Monday. so either a leak (more interesting) or fund + ETF buying

What’s up with BLO? Big drop on huge volume but no need that I can see.

Jon: how does CPO compare at 12.5 cents to the others in the Cobalt space? Is it a good buy down here? Where do you see it going to?
Comment by MERIDEX — March 17, 2017 @ 8:15 pm
Yes, I believe CPO is an excellent opportunity at current levels, Meridex. They’ve taken a very systematic approach to exploration at the Smith Property which certainly appears to be an extension of the contiguous Deer Horn past producer. CEO Dr. Andreas Rompel knows his stuff and will carry out a smart drill program during Q2. Very attractive speculation given its current market cap of only $6 million.

Cxo Nevada drill results very very soon, imagine a more than great result will send us North. Financing finally closed! So many different senerios could come of this in the near future, selling at these levels is purely insane!
