No report needed tonight. Everything status quo from yesterday.
Something to think about;
Regarding deflation, you need to look at leading indicators like a countries manufacturing PMI. In China it is declining. http://m.investing.com/economic-calendar/chinese-caixin-manufacturing-pmi-753
As China goes, so goes the world.
The world PMI is contracting since April 2015 as well. http://www.tradingeconomics.com/world/manufacturing-pmi
Yes, there are success stories and blips up. For example, in the U.S. we had a blip up in car sales with more subprime lending.
We have seen this picture before though. While I am a longer term gold bull, we need to see a deflationary contraction (credit) first, and this will be (and may already be reversing as I have been hinting towards in my Current Thoughts) dollar bullish and put pressure on gold as we struggle with the $1,400 topping area.
