Gold Price - Where is it heading?

So what does FMG stand for, F$#@ Me Garpal??
Mick
All the posts where people discuss their piles, breakfasts, interests of no interest to me usually clog up the FMG thread.

They have now migrated to this Gold thread.

I believe my right big toenail needs trimming and that Gold is headed under $USD1900 tonight.

Hope you are right - about the gold bit I mean.

Gold is neither here nor there atm
This is in large part due to the lack of spine by the Sydney cousins tasked with trading Gold during the New York night.

These private schoolboys follow rather than lead, for enormous salaries.

Then again, they may disappear like the Swiss cousins in the snap of a failure.

Tonight will be interesting.

Well that didn't go so well for risk assets. The market had priced in a pivot. When they got a raise, out of the pram came the toys:



Gold higher.

As a side issue, the smaller banks are still under significant pressure as they hold a lot of non UST debt, which is not good collateral at the Fed Window, BTFP, etc.

Gold's fourth or possibly sixth attempt to go through the $2000-75 ish level. It's either a trigger for selling and taking profit, or if it goes through a risk of FOMO and a significant run. Come on gold, you can do it!

 
The last leg up to test 3000 has been a very steep ascent.

To me it's preferable for XAUAUD to rest here and establish some range in the 2800-3000 area if it is to continue higher, or at least a less steep ascent.

Steep moves are the most prone to retracement and failure, in my experience.

 
am thinking a disconnect rather than a transition , maybe a BRICS Curtain instead of an Iron or Bamboo Curtain this time , with MAYBE gold as the intermediate currency between the two economic systems

the other option is someone like Indonesia or Singapore becoming the world's trading exchange ( both commodities and currencies ) ( both neutral and open for business )
 
Gold at $2000 usd now. the banking system in America and Europe is in trouble. Interest rates have risen to steeply. Deutsche Bank looks like it’s in trouble next after Credit Suisse
am surprised DB didn't tumble earlier ... too big to 'merge' maybe ?

either prop it or throw it to the international wolves and vultures

another option is get the ECB to swallow it ( and 'restructure' later)
 
i haven't been buying physical gold recently , only gold producers and other physical commodities , fearing governments will freeze ( and attempt to confiscate ) physical gold under some 'emergency directive '

that doesn't mean i won't swap my commodities for gold or silver in the future ( and stash it in unlikely place )

call me paranoid if you like , but i see the potential for bank withdrawal restrictions , and asset seizures
 
Good evening my friend

good evening

not particularly wise for me , the current medications hit me like two bottles of whiskey a day

however both my parents grew up in the Great Depression and spent their teenage years during WW2 ( in their respective home countries ) so remembered what EACH leader inflicted on their citizens 'in the name of the war effort '

are we heading for a major war ( i am planning , just in case we are )

sleep safely
 
Nah, eventually the buyers give up and it retreats further.
The final capitulation.
THEN we pile in.
Mick
Well I've been all cashed up for a while and await
  1. A rise in the USD/AUD
  2. A fall in the POG in USD.
Then I'll be in like Flynn and await another attempt to breach $USD2000.

It is done for now.
