Yesterday I had mentioned that the dollar was cooked after 3 stabs at busting through the 50DMA in a trek towards 88, that has to be why it has strength today. That call may have been premature, but with what I can garner from Greenspeak today he is between a rock and a hard place as far as raising rates anytime soon goes. Actually it sounds to me as if he would like to be afforded this option in the near future, but has no choice but to go along with the program with which he has inspired. Either way I still believe we see a nice move in the Golds sometime in March. I am Moose-ish on Gold. Just my take FWIW...
