Isn't the recent modest rise in the price of Gold simply mirroring the dollars fall against foreign currency such as the yen. I.E. the rise in Gold is not a global phenom...

From the Japanese perspective wouldn't Gold have dropped last week?

So my ( dumb and ill-defined) question is, I could see gold as a hedge against domestic inflation, but doesn't it take some kind of rise in global demand to really get the price of gold to move enough to be a significant indicator of world events?

Haim, that was a bounce off an EXTREMELY oversold capitulation bottom, while the XAU took out it's downtrendline, the POG did not and is stuck right on it @290. I don't believe it is telling us anything quite yet, but may be whispering in our ear. I would like to see gold make a nice pop across 290, then Judge Judy will confirm the verdict -g-
