 PHLX.COM * PHLX Gold & Silver Sector (XAU)
XAU was set to an initial value of 100 in January 1979; options commenced trading on December 19, 1983.
At July expiration, the XAU has risen to a value of 145, yielding the investor $43,500.
An investor interested in capitalizing on an anticipated surge in gold stocks purchases 10 at-the-money XAU July 95 calls at 6 1/2 (10 x $6.50 x 100 = $6,500) in February.

 XAU Volume Analysis: 5 different data sets are illustrated.
As some of you know, the XAU is a capitalization weighted index which means that both the price and the number of shares outstanding determine the value of the stock.
The XAU recently made a change in both the number of stocks in the index and the companies in it.
As of this writing, I am waiting for the creators of the Philadelphia Exchange's XAU index to comment on these choices, and hopefully they will share their insight into why one method is superior to another.

 The XAU is still in the sweet spot
A few weeks ago I wrote that the XAU was in the "sweet spot" of its momentum uptrend and was still comfortably above its dominant short-term moving averages, all of which were rising at a good rate of change at that time.
The XAU uptrend is still intact and I have confidence that the uptrend line from the August lows will remain unbroken.
Historically, whenever the 30/60/90-day moving averages fan out the way they have with the XAU and harmonize on the upside (with the 30-day on top, the 60-day in the middle, and the 90-day on the bottom) it signifies that the cycle behind the rise hasn't peaked yet.

 TFG2 (XAU update) Date: Mon Oct 30 2000 22:18
Relative Strength: XAU on a relative strength basis is currently in the lowest 20% relative strength sector group: the 5th quintile - ranking 39 out of 43.
The XAU stocks made minor new lows 10/24 & 10/25 & 10/26 (except MDG - the old 52 week low was 4 3/4 & PD - a fine copper company, which did not make a new low) that were ALL non-confirmed by one or more technical internal indicators.
The XAU could turn many technical indicators from bearish to neutral or even bullish with very little effort on the upside.

 Graphic analysis Of two index used HUI and XAU
It is necessary to watch particularly 90 points on the XAU which is a very important point because it is its line of neck.
If stochastic passes below 50 and what the HUI or the XAU crosses below their mobile average, it would be very bad sign, it would indicate, indeed, a change of tendency.
For example, for Hui and XAU, I find that stochastic and the mobile averages are very effective tools to indicate the zones of purchase and sale.

 In Remembrance- N!xau
!xau, the Kalahari Bushman who was catapulted to stardom in the film The Gods Must Be Crazy, has passed away on July 5, 2003.
He retired from filmmaking in 1994, returning to his former life of a herdsman raising cattle and vegetables in the Namibian brush.
Though he did not know his actual age, he estimated himself to be approximately 59 years old.

 Mining the XAU for Gold
The XAU has been in widespread use since late 1983, when it was constructed as a batch of gold miners with a little bit of silver thrown in to attempt to track the precious metals sector of the equity markets.
As we move on to the second bottom and huge XAU rally marked by “2”, the XAU did not break north out of the heavy resistance at the top of its trend channel (bound by the red dashed lines) until gold once again leapt towards the heavens in a large spike.
It is not too big a stretch of the imagination to posit that the XAU was racing ahead of the implied XAU as defined by our 0.25 ratio, so in the absence of a large enough gold rally it had to collapse to move back down into a more normal valuation range.

 Investing Advisers - Ike Iossif on Gold and the Xau - Better Investing
Bottom line: Although the XAU didn't have two consecutive weekly closes below 81, and gold didn't close below $400.00, the charts suggest that gold/gold stocks may have topped out in the short-term, and the rally of the last few weeks is the last "gasp" before a more serious decline takes place.
If the XAU is in bull market, it ought to be above all four these benchmarks, and if it has entered a bear market, any initial rally ought to fail at any one of these benchmarks.
In other words, it is possible that the XAU will experience another decline, make a lower low, reverse to upside, and re-enter a bull cycle.

 BestOnlineTrades - Complimentary Newsletter
The XAU which in the past has led the gold market needs to take a leadership role here to show it wants to find a base and support at the neckline of 6 years.
The XAU was supposed to show a 'sign of strength' to confirm the breakout above this key resistance level of 85 and to create long term support at neckline level.
Note also that the current spike down swing in the XAU market could be a one month 'head' of a reverse head and shoulders pattern.

One major difference is that the XAU data set comprised 18 years whereas the HUI data set only covers the period starting in 1996.
The chart of the XAU is extracted from this essay for your convenience.
Also plotted on the graph is the linear trend line (LTL) for the XAU vs. POG, and a line that represents one fourth of the POG.

 Safe Haven Will August Show Kindness to the XAU?
Here is the seasonal performance for XAU for the past decade: In 1995, the XAU had a minor rally in August after a rough ending to the July of that year for the index.
August of 2003 witnessed an exceptional rally for the XAU as the index rose by 12.
Despite the resistance pressure the XAU was under in July, and despite the recent struggles the XAU has had with its 30-day trend line (although it remains above the rising 60-day trend line), there is reason to believe the index can manage a turnaround in August.

 Financial Sense Editorial  "The XAU In 2005 Versus 1995" by Clif Droke 07.18.2005
The XAU gold/silver index in 1995 was in part a reflection of the relatively tight monetary condition of that period.
Although the XAU ended that year above its lows from the start of the year, it was mostly a year of lateral trading range activity.

 Analyse graphique du HUI et XAU
Le XAU a une hausse qui est beaucoup moins dynamique que le HUI.
En ce moment, le XAU retourne sur sa ligne de cou et devrait rebondir sur cette zone.
Par exemple, pour le Hui et XAU, les stochastic et les moyennes mobiles sont des outils très efficaces pour indiquer les zones d’achat et de vente.

 Safe Haven Has the Bell Tolled for XAU?
However, one observation that can be made right now is that the upside momentum that has propelled the XAU up to the 110-111 area this fall is still alive and should keep the index from declining much further in the immediate-term.
For one, the XAU index is starting to show a bit of relative weakness compared to the broad market.
There should be strong underlying support around the 105-106 area in the next few days as XAU attempts to build a base of support from which to re-test 110-111.

Immunogold labeling of tissue sections of TSWV-infected Nicotiana rustica plants showed that this protein was, depending on the virus isolate, either found dispersed throughout the cytoplasm or associated with fibers which appeared as elongated flexible filaments or paracrystalline rods.
We conclude that a monocot phytochrome can be synthesized and correctly processed to a biologically active form in a dicot cell, and that the transduction pathway components that interact with the photoreceptor are evolutionarily conserved.

 Gold Stock Charts
The XAU hit a long term cycle low at 76.79 on 5-10-04 versus the finetuned range of 67-72.
When reliable lead indicator NEM underperforms HUI and the XAU for a few months the long term upcycle that began on 5-10-04 will probably be in trouble.
Long term cycle lows occurred for NEM, the XAU, and HUI on May 10 at 34.70, 76.79, and 163.81 respectively.

 Financial Sense Online  Market WrapUp with Tim W. Wood
So, when we combine the fact that the XAU has thus far been the weakest and the fact that the 20-week cycle low still lies ahead for the DJIA, it is hard not to at least consider the possibility that more weakness in the XAU could still lie ahead.
The XAU is the upper chart and the DJIA is the lower chart.
Also, the cyclical structure of the XAU will remain bearish until we see either a higher trading cycle top and/or a higher trading cycle low.

 Gold/XAU Breakouts?
Like gold, however, when the XAU once again surfaced from the depths to punch through its old support line (marked by the first green dotted circle), the index rallied strongly and hesitantly breached the resistance line at the top of the channel before nosing over to drift.
Even with its significant limitations, the XAU is watched by traders like hawks and it will be one of the first signs to confirm a neo-gold rally.
The 22 year old XAU is still the most popular game in the house for tracking gold stock performance, so we use it here in our analysis.

 Will The Real XAU Volume Please Stand Up?
This dilemma, which recently exposed the ugly side of technical analysis with the XAU index, stems from poor standards and definitions, and it is exacerbated by the fact that technicians assume they know what they are working with.
With regard to the XAU index, the Philadelphia Stock Exchange does not report a total volume figure for the XAU index.
Wyckoff traders are always studying the relationship between price and volume, and it was intriguing to discover that the volumes reported for the XAU didn't match the underlying component issues.

 Safehaven XAU vs. XOI Printer Friendly Version
Another thing in XAU's favor is the fact that it has pivoted off a major historical support between 75-80 in recent weeks.
The two major indices which reflect gold stocks versus oil stocks, the XAU and the XOI, are hanging in the balance right now.
The XAU index has been trying to bottom above the 80 area and so far has done a good job of it.

 CONTRARIANTHINKER
The XAU wavelength (approx 8-10 years) suggests that the HUI rate of increase is probably already falling off.
The XAU Gold ratio is not behaving in so simple a manner.
Once again the divergence between the HUI and the XAU must be frightening to some people…..

 XAU Analysis by Richard Rhodes
Gold& Silver Index ($XAU) Over the past several years, I have been an animated bear on the price of gold.
However, the time has come, and the conditions are correct, in which one must begin to explore the long side of gold in some type of fashion.
But the first step towards a sustained bull market has occurred, and now is the proper time to participate.

 Intermarket Analysis of SP500, US Dollar, Crude Oil, Gold, XAU, Money Supply
As for the gold stocks and the XAU, they still haven't return back to 0, or their original prices set back in 1996 while the SP500 is still above its 1996 prices.
After that, the XAU started to slowly make its ascent.
It was during this time that both the SP500 and gold moved together, when in the past they moved in opposite directions.
