not at all ..... gold is determined in US$, so it is the strength or otherwise of that currency that has an influence .,... and of course the actual or perceived demand for gold itself

thought so, thanks for that. Bullish run pettered out today, will asia continue with it tommorrow, some positions certainly being taken ahead of fed.
Another question, when is the fed decision and where is the best place for a diary of economic data more than a week in advance?

FX calanders perhaps the best bet for economic data, there,s one on the Forex thread in the Traders Room, but also available on FX.com or some other such site.

Gold has been suffering of late, but my view is we're about to start another sell off of the dollar and that the recent moves are only a correction. Longer term I expect to see gold a lot higher and this sets up another good move higher.

I think the set back we've seen in gold is no bad thing. Purely correction and consolidating these levels and (hopefully) setting up some nice moves higher in due course. Interesting to see gold down $7 earlier and now about the same higher. Patience will be rewarded.

would just like to see POG pop out of this starightjacket .... should not take much to do it and then it could whizz away again

Quite agree. The graph from the summer though looks a lot more bullish again. 1 day rise on the cards again before too long we hope.

cynic, we're also getting into that very volatile FX trading period. I still say sell the dollar (against EUR) which will benefit gold. Cable is supported around 2.0140 and just above 2.00. Will be interesting to see if the Fed cut 1/4 or 1/2 next week. They may just do the latter as the market momentum builds.

i note that on the rather false auction close, sp has crept above 25 dma ..... can it build on that?

Interesting moves after the US data. Data would suggest we won't get a Fed 1/2 cut, 1/4 more likely, nothing a possibility. But dollar now being sold against EUR and gold higher, so perhaps the market continues to want a half.

i would rather hope that 1/4 was felt to be sufficient ..... whether or not the market will take kindly to that depends on sentiment more than logic

Curious to see strong gold and silver today but out of favour here.

Now we appear to be off. Dollar getting sold strongly. Gold and silver rising sharply. Equities to gain strongly on the Dow open I suspect.

more to the point with POG is that sp dipped below 25 dma and has now moved back above it

Well the market appears not to like that news too much. Despite 15% more gold under world standards, it's the extractable reserves down 6.8% which is causing the current sales. I still think it's a good hold.
