The biggest story this week was that the general stock market managed to move above the the January 2010 high. The breakout was not confirmed yet by all signals, so we take a closer look on each of them end let you know what we believe is likely to take place next - and most of all - how it's likely to influence the value of gold, silver and PM stocks.

The second biggest story this week was the move lower in the USD Index, which closed above its previous trading channel for more than three consecutive days. Again, this week's Premium Update includes our comments on how it might influence portfolios of PM Investors and Speculators.

This Update is an extensive follow-up on the Market Alert that we've sent on Wednesday, and it features 4 charts dedicated to the general stock market (including the Dow Jones Transportation Average), 2 charts of the USD Index, 2 gold charts, 4 silver charts (including two very-long-term charts providing targets for the coming decline), and 2 charts dedicated to PM stocks. Moreover, we've analyzed charts of the Gold Miners Bullish Percent Index, and Platinum - both of them provide us with important signals. Additionally, we feature the Trix indicator that used to provide major buy signals and comment on what it tells us today.

When politicians talk it is always a good idea to try and read between the lines. Therefore, in the first part of this week's Premium Update we comment on the recent gold-related statement made by China's chief foreign exchange regulator, Yi Gang.

In the previous Premium Update we've summarized that keeping an open speculative long position in the PM sector does not seem profitable from the risk/reward perspective and precious metals have been correcting since that time. This week we provide you with a follow-up on this analysis and let you know what we think might be waiting just around the corner. The self-similarity present on the gold market provides us with valuable insight as far as the shape of the current correction is concerned, while the cyclical tendencies on the silver market and the U.S. Dollar market provide us with timing details.

This week's issue includes our comments on the USD index (including the analysis of volume) , general stock market, gold, silver, and precious metals stocks - all of which we've covered from both long- and short-term point of view. Moreover, we mention the recent signal on the chart of Gold Miners Bullish Percent Index.

Additionally, we comment on the very-long-term tendencies present on the silver market, and what one might expect in 2011.
