Greetings!
Three steps forward and one step back, nothing more, nothing less. However, that one step back was as steep as they get. Gold witnessed the largest single day drop in three years when on Wednesday we saw the market nosedive, breaking below 1690. As gold approached $1800 and in the blink of an eye, we would witness a single day drop that would give back 38% of the gains realized this year.
The bottom line is, in a real sense, nothing is changed. The fundamentals driving the precious metals markets are still for the most part firmly in place. The U.S. Fed chairman in testimony to Congress did state the economy is starting to pick up. But we are far, far away from a full-blown recovery from this recession. It was not what he said but rather what was omitted from the testimony. No mention was made of quantitative easing. That being said, as I mentioned yesterday, the central banks of the European Union will be adding huge bursts of liquidity and to do that they will be using some sort of quantitative easing in the mix.
Today's video will once again look at my long-term forecast for gold this year. One of my reasons for viewing the chart again today was to underline the fact that my long-term view on gold pricing has not changed at all.
On a side note, this week I have added an iPod compatible version of the daily video. Today I have changed that format so that the regular video is in high definition. For those who use an iPod please send me an e-mail with comments so that I can be certain that the quality is up to par.
Wishing you was always good trading,
Executive Producer
