article: North American Banks Under Growing Pressure From Gold Derivative Positions

minesite.com

an excerpt:
No signs of panic here from Ms O'Connell, just a report on a volatile market. Nobody in their right mind expects the price of any commodity, be it gold or pork bellies, to go up in a straight line. Profit takers always make an appearance and a correction results. In the gold market there is the added influence of international official intervention against leading currencies. In her gold commentary Rhona O'Connell said that, " The Fed and the ECB are both reported to have intervened in the currency markets last Friday in order to bolster the dollar, which looked above ¥120, but is now again below that level and under some pressure." Those with longish memories will remember just how useless such intervention proved to be in the last currency crisis - if anything it provided fuel for the flames.<i/>
