I see gold went up 0.30% in Au$ and silver 58.89% in the last 6 months. For Y2Y its 12.50% and 89.02%. The only thing it say to me is that gold is still very much cheap in Aus. Take your profit you have make in silver to buy your gold.
AUD is back over $1.04 also. All we are seeing is a weakening dollar. Gold and silver only up a little in AUD.
Regardless of the beat up over parity. It is just another number. it will not take a massive event to move from 0.9999 to 1.0001. Saying we will not see 0.90 again now is exactly like saying we would never see the AUD below 0.90 when it was at 0.98 in 2008. Like it or not, the AUD is just another currency, nothing special, and is the classic risk currency with commodities and a high interest rate differential. It is not different here.
don't know about 1.20 or .90 but, in the short to medium term, I suspect your right. It's broken out to a new high. It will need a shock to see it drop much. The disaster in Japan wasn't enough to get it dropping much. It's the best of both worlds though, strong currency and cheap money(Gold and silver)!
I sure hope so. I just had a bank term deposit mature and immediately put all of the cash into buying more gold.
