RE:zzzzzzzzzWith most gold equities retreating it's just AVK's beta dragging it down - lack of news doesn't help either.
Gold clearly under pressure in anticipation of a rate hike (again) and an improving USD. Three upward hikes establishes a trend, so will be interesting to see how gold responds to a rate hike. I still think gold makes sense over the mid to longe term, but short-term? Who knows. Hopefully a bounce once the hike is out of the way, but who knows if we're bouncing off $1207 or $1197 (eeek!).
Beware the ides of March.
