Bullish gold points;
*Low U.S. interest rates *A minimal contango *Producer buy-backs *High oil prices (WTI crude closed at $27.10) *Strengthening pound, euro, etc. The dollar continues to swoon and closed at 115.25 *A tanking stock market *War strains *hedge book blow-ups *panic covering of naked call positions *panic covering of a fraction of the 15,000 tonnes of gold loans outstanding *Loss of confidence in financial institutions a la Argentina, whose banks open when they feel like it.

The three major market indices (DJIA, NASDAQ and S&P 500) crashed through the 10,000 and 1,700 and 1,300 barriers today with a thud. The dollar was down against the EURO and the yen while gold made another high in this move closing at $311.40 in New York and for two consecutive days closed above $305. If the London sage is correct and the Midas from Le Metropole Cafe, one of the GATA principals, the fuse is now lit for gold to move higher.
Despite a large increase in GDP fueled by inventory buildups, the market shrugged that news off like water from a duck's back and headed south. |
