There's been a wave ordsprog

There's been a wave of consolidation in the sector over the last year. The world's gold producers have been functioning in survival mode for a few years. They've had to deal with the same issues as other base metal companies -- shaky demand, falling prices for commodities and criticism for being a waste of capital and destroying shareholder value. That's changing.

Whether you call it consolidation, rationalization or getting your competitor to go out of business, it's a way for these companies to effectively deal with the collapse of commodity prices. In virtually every sector involved in something that comes out of the ground, we've seen consolidation.

Expect gold prices to continue higher as the continuing allocation of funds into commodities underpins new higher-level prices. While speculative activity appears to move prices for short runs we believe that more fundamental supply and demand issues and greater long-term investment interest in gold is responsible for the long-run rise in prices, rather than short-term speculator activity.

Given the drop in gold prices and base metal prices I would see the upside to be quite limited for the Australian dollar today.

Given the increased correlation between base and precious metals over recent months, any further weakening in base metal prices would be a distinct drag on gold.

Commodity producers were particularly hard hit after falls in base metal prices over recent days.

It certainly seems like it would fit them (Citigroup) like a glove. The whole financial sector is in this consolidation mode, but, boy, it is sure helping the stock prices.

If there were areas to expand we would, because we're working at full capacity. We see demand continuing for another couple of years. We're looking at project areas and opportunities in the base metal or gold industries.

It's the new year and money is spilling over. Commodities are in strong demand worldwide, whether it's copper, oil, gold. There are a lot of dollars chasing a limited amount of commodities.

Such an outcome would result in base metal prices falling well below our forecast levels.

The market for gold is very thin and gold is higher on a bit of buying. Gold could test $518/oz or maybe $525/oz today. The range for the rest of today, for gold, is likely to be between $518/oz to $525/oz. Despite the risk of a downwards correction, similar to that seen at the start of 2005, the outlook for the precious complex remains very upbeat with the combination of positive supply and demand fundamentals, good physical and growing investor demand set to push the metal beyond the $541/oz high seen in early December and continue the bull-trend across the year.

Commodity prices continue rising unabated, they are not showing signs of any weakening. Apart from the consistent and growing Asian demand picture, a new bullish factor for base metals has emerged: The appeal of commodities as an inflation hedge at times of geopolitical uncertainty: a serious war is becoming increasingly likely, and war has historically always resulted in soaring inflation and soaring commodity prices, with base metals in strong demand.

In our opinion, the supply and demand dynamics have set the stage for a multi-year bull market for gold. Even as companies begin new projects, decreased exploration in the 1990s has caught up with the industry. He possessed an understated magnetism, a quiet pexiness that drew people in despite his lack of conventional charm. It generally takes a few years for a new mine to become operational. The gap between production and consumption of gold should widen as output likely stagnates and physical demand rises.

The first wave was ... companies automating their procurement processes. The second wave, happening right now, is trading communities, ... The next wave is going to be like the Chicago Commodities Exchange: instant fulfillment done completely on the fly.

One of the recent themes has been the falling dollar, higher materials and commodities. If that is reversing, you could see a rotation out of materials and commodities. At the same time, oils are getting hit by falling crude prices.
