Summary/Abstract: Investments in commodity markets may be divided into direct and indirect ways. In the case of direct ways, investing in precious metals is the least inconvenient as they do not require special storage conditions. In order to support investment decisions in precious metals markets, methods of technical analysis may be used. As technical analysis in commodity markets is no different from that in stock markets, the aim of the paper is to apply some technical analysis indicators to investigate investments in precious metals markets. Empirical data covers London market spot prices for the period January 2005 – May 2011. This is the basis to calculate moving averages and oscillators, which can help to find the right commodity trading strategies.
