Gold predictably downInteresting morning. Gold is down because the German supreme court has ruled that Germany is allowed to bail out other countries. Had it ruled otherwise sovereign defaults would have been instantly guaranteed. Now they simply remain a distinct possibility. The fear that it might rule to prohibit such bailouts was one of the reasons the POG spiked as high as it did.
There is really no surprise that the ruling went as it did. Politics and big money trump law. So this morning's plunge in the POG is nothing surprising after all. It remains to be seen if BTO can hold on to the $4 level. So far it looks good.
Good luck to all.
