Could turn on a dimeGold is down some. But now we find out if the 'flight to safety factor' is for real.
News just broke that the U.S. is evacuating its embassy in Kiev. Apparently it's a precaution.
IMO that reads 'Get the diplomats out so they don't get nuked".
If this move doesn't create a reaction both with the Ukraine populace as well as the markets, I'll be surprised.
It could be fake news, but it's a reliable news source.
Keep in mind that the reason for closing the embassy is not being publicly stated as far as I know.
