SOUTH AFRICAN RAND SLIPS TO NEAR REOCRD LOW

"The rand's volatility follows Thursday's slide to a fresh record low of R7,20 to the dollar, hit by a combination of fresh concern over developments in Zimbabwe, inflation fears and euro weakness."

Alex, I think what all this boils down to is that the coming dollar slide/euro turn around (and come it must) will change everything. Gold won't immediately benefit from a weaker dollar because there is a great deal of pressure to keep gold lower in dollar terms. But once the dollar falls, physical offtake at the lower dollar price will result in a liquidity crisis of the type we saw last fall. My best guess is that all this happens in the next three to four months.
