RE: RE: WTF?
RE: RE: WTF?Yes USD is up big today which, by definition, all things equal, drives down the prices of all USD denominated commodities... including gold... While I agree this is contributing to some of the weakness in POG this AM we are also seeing gold being sold to cover/mitigate losses in other areas of the market. POG has been a big winner for many and it is normal some will be liquidated during sudden periods of market weakness (i.e. today). When there is a massive market sell-off many traders quickly prescribe to the 'sell your winners' strategy. IMO this 'loss covering/sell you winners' is contributing more to of today's POG weakness than USD strength. I also think we will see this weakness end soon enough (weeks at most) and gold will resume past recent highs. JMHO. red911
