Woke up at midday to a pleasant surprise, my gold short worth more than the drop in my miner shares!
So how do we feel about tonight guys? More strength from the USD to come? Or other currencies due for a bit of a bounce?
The way the US dollar is holding up amongst the ravaneous money printing is quite astounding. I got bumped out of gold at $845 and will get back in once Obama signs on. Something's gotta give here and its going to be dramatic to say the least.
Was going to add that so far the gold majors (LGL, NCM) are still showing good strength and possibly pointing to the longer term direction - with neither of them reacting too badly today to the overnight gold price falls.
it is unreasonable to expect any excitement from Gold when the Fed is quite obviously determined to keep the Dollar intact.
Do you think it will stay intact when the US has to start paying off its debt? Give it a year, things will get interesting.

My timespan for the next phase is months. The Fed is disintegrating right now, with open criticism & dissent from within on what Bernanke is doing. Things are about to get parabolically worse for the world, and Aus won't be immune.
Which means that we will get the double - falling AUS/USD to under 50c and rising $US gold price = $AU gold price over $2k - about the time the Obama factor wears off and every one realises not even He can save them?
Interest rates are effectively zero bound now so the financial creativity about to be experimented with by Bernanke & Paulson has never been used before, within the current set of conditions ie a total collapse of the global financial capitalist system.

Talking about parabolics, interesting to note that Money supply took off immediatly after the link with gold was broken?
<< ...a total collapse of the global financial capitalist system. >>
I am sure I have across that phrase before ... maybe a hundred times or more. but it seems to be still around. and it is a safe bet that until such a total collapse of the global financial capitalist system actually does happen, there is little hope for a significant upsurge in Gold.
The problem here, which started 25 years ago, was the growth fueled debt.
Gold could drop to $600, buy more, wait until the Bond market and B.O. party is over and enjoy the ride up.
It is true that no one is sure where Gold heading is. This indicates that in future there might be some crucial conditions in the market, which might take time to recover and that time we can see once again a clash.
