as i and senor have stated the commercials are lopsidedly short the dollar . it seems the specs are caught up in the momo of the dollar.
eric hadik 1045 -1033 . the low the other night was 1045. in 09 india bought 200tons of gold @1045 @ the time i thought this would be a floor, we see
i will not buy again, unless the structure of this rally says its an impulse. then i will buy the reaction. i will sell some into the rally. keep in mind the well publicized hike is the 16th . the fed backed itself into a corner w/the incessant hike chants. yellen about the hikes
the 18th is a bradley. i am happy about the rally, but on the fence as to what we have=bounce or impulse(change of trend). in either event i believe the miners are sold out , and this will be my focus going forward. they offer real value. and i think the value oriented buyers are accumulating
as for the metal, the small specs and hedgies are increasing their shorts. while the smart money, the commercials , are net 11k short, a very small position for them as of the last cot.
when gold goes up in earnest it will be accompanied by commodities. opec voted to increase output, keeping the pressure on russia. russia supports assad , because they dont want the saudis to build a pipe through syria to europe. as of now russia has no competition for selling its ng to europe. yes the whole thing is poltical. never mind a potential ww3.
