Good morning everyone,
I’m expecting more volatility this week. As we lead up to the U.S elections, we’ll start seeing flowing funds to and fro in larger numbers.
This week we may also see an end to the carnage in the Euro and British Pound as funds deleverage prior to the elections, which, if it happens, will turn the U.S Dollar downward.
Gold ended up $1267 Friday last week. I’m expecting an increased interest in Gold as a safe haven as well as an appreciation in Gold price once the dollar tumbles. If we don’t get major movements in the currencies, I expect Gold and Silver to churn until the time the Euro, Dollar and Pound finally start to reverse their trends.
