Gold, Silver, Coal and Metal Mining Rallies on Weak US Dollar On Monday energy prices rallied on the weaker US Dollar and some help from lower temperatures in the states, and the gold, silver, coal and metal mining rally continued. The weak dollar has led investors to pour money into commodities that are traded in the US Dollar including oil and natural gas over the past couple of months. 2009 has been a good year for commodities with Continuous Commodity Index (GCC) moving from $21.49 to a recent 3 month high of $24.54. Gold and Silver In the gold space the Spiders Gold Shares (GLD) is the safest and least volatile way to speculate in the trend continuing higher in commodity prices and gold in particular. The Exchange Traded Fund reach a new 52-week high of $103.64 just days ago. Some are warning of a bubble in commodities which is true but as long as the dollar continues to weaken, the chance of a major change in direction is unlikely. The signs of economic improvement in America and in other major economies around the world boast well for commodities as supply will increase as countries begin to build new infrastructure again. Coal & Metal Mining Coal and Metal Mining is seeing similar interest from investors but taking a look at individual shares within the industry does not present a decent investment. BHP Billiton Ltd (BHP) is the largest company in the area which has some decent growth 54.5% earnings with –10.6% revenue for the year but is in the midst of a fairly tough quarter so could have topped out at a recent three month high. This is fairly representative of many of the stocks in the industry.

All over the world people are still wary of investing in currencies and real estate. So they go for metals.

When people do not find some safe fields for investment and seeing that currencies are undergoing through dramatic up and downs that make it quite difficult to come to any conclusion.
Same is the condition with the real estate yet it is slightly improved now but still it will take time to build up confidence in trading once again.
So, the trader are turning their interests towards metal and gold off course the first interest and safer entity to invest.

Dollar seems to be weaker and weaker every year. And that is not a part of latest economical crisis. This situation can be observed for many years and the situation will soon become critical. Dollar soon can become so weak that all imported goods will become really expensive.

It's largely a part of monetary policy that could reverse once the economy improves.
