too many hedge funds are loaded up offsides and when the first tiny move up in the US$ occurs they all panic. You can believe something like that or you can believe the GATA. ggg Mish

It seems the writing is on the wall.It's no longer just on these boards.I've read several places these days where Greenspan has come to the end of his rope.I think he knows he controls oil prices and that inaction will have as bad or worse effect than moving now on rates.Gold will shine when deflation hits and he/they panic.As Andy Xie said, they might as well get the interest rate increase over with now than force a China revaluation with the same consequence for rates shortly there after.Could this also be why housing stocks are down?Of course if Greenspan refuses to budge at all, gold is off to the races.It just seems to me that mkt may be betting on higher rates,at least today
