Sharp fall in silver today – fallen to levels not seen since September 2010

By Ronnie Chopra

This morning silver fell to levels not seen since September 2010 as commodity prices slumped overnight in Asia and this extended in early London trading. Although here is plenty of physical buying from China, India and the Middle East – there is heavy computer ETF selling.

A strong dollar and outperforming equity markets have shifted investor’s attention to more risky assets with silver suffering.

Has the dollar rallied too far, too quickly?

By Ishaq Siddiqi

Despite general US data thus far this week coming in a little softer, the dollar retains a bid tone, as US risk markets keep on posting new highs despite much speculation on whether USD may have rallied a little too far, too quickly.

Today we await CPI numbers and US data including housing, jobless claims and the Philly Fed.)

Japan’s currency is once more weakening compared to the US dollar. 

Bad news baked into the mining sector

By Brenda Kelly

Despite the fact that it’s only mid- May, the FTSE100 looks set to record a new high for the 12th consecutive month.

Perhaps it’s the mining sector that is serving as a drag which since February has seen a total decline of almost 25%.

A bullet-point guide to fine wine investing

By Oliver Haill

The fine wine market is expected to continue its recent resurgence in 2013 and, if you haven’t thought about investing in this asset class before there are increasingly strong reasons for certain types of investor.

Traders and other high-frequency type traders need read no further, this is for long-term investors. It can be traded with spread betting.

Because there is a limited supply of top wine and high demand from around the globe that usually exceeds supply this generally keeps prices up over the long term - but like some illiquid shares, in the short term prices can remain unmoved for a while. But unlike shares, many buyers don't just buy for investment; they happily and rapidly drink up their bottles which reduces the world stocks.
