a REAL BK would certainly pressure commodities in a big way...for one the cited need to raise cash to cover losses elsewhere, and secondly due to the fact that the commodity markets would interpret a BK as a sign of an impending recession. gold really has a special status...actually today's action was definitive proof that gold retains a special status and has NOT lost its role as a safe heaven in times of turmoil. the real liquidity crunch is happening in the credit markets.... like Luc said, at some point all the printing in the world won't save this thing....
