Can FED announce QE3 before congress approve raise of USA debt in August? If cant then we can only some actions like in Japan scenario to help Euro in meantime.
Congress serve no real political function these days.
Apart from Ron Paul, they're ornamental.
It's pretty obvious the FED can and will do whatever the fuck they want.
And @ Nukz:
Riots of any significant magnitude in the USA?
I wouldn't hold my breath.
That whole country is terminally sedated.
Americans are not Greeks.
(No offence intended to any American's by the way)
These statements are sweeping generalisations and I hope I'm wrong!

I think "they" will delay the announcement of further austerity measures (in whatever camouflage).
I think silver will fall during that time, purely because there's an excuse for it to do so!
I don't scream manipulation every 5 minutes but there's certainly a vested (western) interest in the price of gold and silver moving any direction except upwards.
"You can't let a good crises go to waste" comes to mind.
