Gold Breaks $600! Silver sets New Highs!
Gold futures powered higher early Thursday, setting a fresh 25-year high at $600 an ounce, pulling other metals to multiyear levels and helping copper to a new all-time high.
"Gold is exploding and silver isn't far behind," said Kevin Kerr, trader and editor of Global Resources Trader.
Gold for June delivery rose to $600 an ounce in official trade on the New York Mercantile Exchange, having earlier hit a high of $601.90 in electronic trade.
Silver traded at a new 22-year high of $12.01 an ounce, after peaking at $12.08 in electronic trade.
The metal has rallied sharply in recent weeks as excitement has built about the pending launch of a silver exchange-traded fund, that's expected to boost physical demand for the metal.
Platinum rose $17.40 to $1,098 an ounce and palladium was up $13.35 at $356 an ounce.
"Key resistance was broken overnight and as we have been building support and healthy consolidation over the last week or so now we have a firm base to move higher," said Kerr, who noted that today's rally has come without any real news to drive it.
Analysts at Action Economics said metals are finding strong support from continued buying by funds, seeking out asset classes with a potential for strong returns.
Now that gold has hit the psychologically key $600 an ounce level, some nearer-term funds may take the opportunity to lock in some profits, they said.
On the other hand, the break through $600 will also trigger a range of stops and key hedge-fund buy levels, said Kerr.

The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod's. It works well, but isn't as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that's not an issue, but if you're planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod's larger screen and better browser may be important.

Between me and my husband we've owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I've settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.

If you're still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you'll know which is right for you.

Not simply would be the MyFonts logo deserving, but if you may have notsubscribed to their email newsletters, they may be superbly designed.

I feel like you could probably teach a class on how you can make an excellent weblog. This is wonderful! I've to say, what really got me was your style. You certainly know how to make your blog more than just a rant about an issue. Youve made it doable for people to connect. Very good for you, since not that a lot of men and women know what theyre performing.

You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be truly some thing which I think I would by no means recognize. It appears too complicated and very broad for me. I'm searching forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!
