If non farm and unemployment numbers are good you'll see a smack down in usd terms but probably more or less unchanged in aud.
This Fridays smack down looks more like a Friday night knock out, since I bought a RCM one oz. gold bar and a kilo JM bar,f@#$
I predict that we will actually go ok today. A little drop but nothing dramatic. The forex guys booking profits and covering shorts will limit the dxy loss. Although euro traders might be selling off incase things open worse Monday so who knows. If Putin really did have a big old stroke and it finally comes out over the weekend then we might see a nice open Monday.
US PPI figures are out tonight which is a gauge as to what to expect from inflation which could influence prices. Won't be enough to push the USD index through 100 but sellers could step in pushing metal prices higher.

PPI came in well below expectations which is causing the USD to sell off but it's fading quickly. The rising USD is already starting to bite and the Fed hasn't even began raising rates.
There's a disturbance in the Force. There's movement at the station. There's danger afoot. Breakout. The colt from old Regret will do a runner. $21.50.
Greece is suppose to come up with $2 billion today for a debt repayment to the IMF which I believe they are raiding pension funds and the state electricity account to come up with but apart from that it should be pretty quiet.
