Caution Warranted

For a change, the commercials increased their net short position in silver and decreased their net short position in gold.

I have added the charts for platinum and palladium below as Ed Steer made a comment that there is a similar problem in the platinum market as there is in silver.

I also noted the technical analyst, Tom McClellan, has posted here that gold is in a bearish rising wedge pattern.

Ed Steer's Comments:

"...the set-up in silver is still very bullish, even taking into account the price action since the Tuesday cut-off.

and on gold:

"...The Big 4 shorts have added around 85,000 short contracts since the low of last fall...which is not at all bullish."

and on platinum:

"Silver remains their number one problem child...and the number two problem child for the Big 4 shorts in platinum."

Check out the graphs this week as they show the build up in net short positions more clearly. They are labelled "Position: Short" under the tradingster links here and here.
