ETF1, Do you think the GLD spike is a reaction sparked by global perceived implications for global supply-demand of oil that could arise out of the disintegration of IRAQ? P ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Pete, I see it as two things. The first is what you mentioned, instability in Iraq. The second is that Janet Yellen did not satisfy investors when she talked about inflation and answered journalists' questions in the Q&A session. For example, Steve Liesman, a CNBC economics journalist/TV reporter, asked the first question of the Q&A session. He asked about inflation and said that the inflation data were stronger than anticipated, and may exceed the Fed's inflation targets. Janet Yellen just said that there was a lot of "noise" in the inflation data. She is not all that concerned about it, and thinks the data did not clearly show that inflation may be a problem. This answer did not satisfy a lot of people, including Steve Liesman. In short, there are people out there who are concerned about inflation, and are not satisfied that the Fed is on top of that issue. Many felt that Yellen was too dovish on inflation.

European shares were marginally in the red as the dust settled from Thursday's forecast-busting U.S. jobs data and ECB meeting, with investors taking the opportunity to lock in profits after the biggest week of gains since March. A new three-year peak for Asian stocks overnight meant MSCI's All World share index, which tracks 45 countries, set its fourth consecutive record high, while the dollar, U.S. bond yields and growth-sensitive copper were also up on the week. "You can't fight the tape, it's as simple as that," said Justin Haque, a broker at Hobart Capital Markets, referring to the deluge of strong data this week, "It's a very bullish scenario."
