Gold and silver are up in Asian markets after a slight move up yesterday when only Asian and European markets were open. Where to from here?
Friday we saw precious metals move higher after a lousy jobs number that came in worse than expected. The jury is still out on how this momentum will play out once U.S. markets open on Tuesday.
Right now we don’t have an indication of direction as the dollar is higher by 9 cents and typically, of late, the dollar has been inverse of gold. So for now, no call from a micro perspective.
It’s ok to sit out a day and wait for the direction to take hold and see if the downtrend has reversed for a moment or two. I do believe the dollar is still going to 100 and nothing has changed my mind on this. If you don’t understand my reasoning, please read my book Illusions of Wealth.
