some views on gold and the USDollar
check out this chart on gold nearby future contract, weekly

stockcharts.com

we have a nice Cup & Handle pattern longterm
we are tracing out the right Handle now
the Feb2003 minihighs in 350's has so far been honored
the 50dayMA and 200MA are each in uptrend

we had an unusual confluence of factors in late winter and early spring, mainly benefiting from Iraqi angst
now that has reversed

I believe on the bigger picture, gold just finished in January its minor EW 5-wave completion
the correction following is usually a tough one
consider that completed EW wave as a major 1st wave now
we are seeing early signs of completion of the major 2nd corrective wave
see the HUI breakout, for instance

NEXT COMES THE MAJOR 3RD UPWAVE FOR GOLD !!!
it is the biggest and most powerful
I think by year end we have more dollar correction

here is my quick view on dollar adjustment
IT HAS NOT EVEN BEGUN, since an adjustment is intended to relieve trade imbalances
the Fed US$ index is down only 2% from its top
it is heavily weighted in Asian currencies
IT HAS NOT EVEN BEGUN

the press has really missed this one
so far all we have done is not adjust the dollar, but transfer the overvalued dollar to an overvalued euro
now the EU has a big problem to deal with
and the euro must adjust versus the Asians at the same time we must adjust versus the Asians

Chinese products now have a 30% price advantage versus last year within the EuroZone

late this year and early next year, we get a true Asian currency rise
it will climax with a Chinese adjustment
maybe the rest of the Asians will follow the Chinese lead, and nothing will adjust until the Chinese Govt are in the mood to deliver a crippling leg-cutting policy change to the USEconomy
but somehow I think Japanese Yen will rise despite the Chinese strong position
