Six people in line at the bullion desk of the Perth mint this afternoon. Loads of people looking at prices on the screen. Staff said they had a busy day.
Nup, See...I jinxed it... though to my defence..the fall of Tripoli and Ghaddafi and all that easy oil would have something to do with the plummeting gold price! :/
Before week's end?? And there's a little sneak back to the past ^^^^^^^^ Where were you when Tripoli fell?
At least we now can finally see that the old fundamentals have and always will be true.... People have nothing else to turn to except for pm's. I see 1800 before weeks end possibly sooner.
Doesn't look like it'll get there this week does it? Having said that though there's a heap of PMI releases tonight, plus some unemployment and retail sales data from europe and the us.
Looks like it will shoot through AUD $1700 in a minute... you could be right Shiney Edit: Twas close. Head fake at 1698
Interesting that no mention was made of the AUD. I wonder if that is because the Loonie is a neighbour of the USD, so therefore it features more prominently in the mindset of the average US citizen. The Kanuk's $ has appreciated for much the same reason as ours. And of course the Franc, well, it's long been viewed as a haven.
