On Friday there was a headline saying “Gold futures tumble in wake of Fed's Empire State data.” I mean, what does that have to do with gold? All it says to me is that the central planners were using every news release last week as cover for their interventions in the market to make it look like investors were driving the price of gold and silver lower so government interference would be somewhat cloaked.
Who thinks this drop is going to dissuade Chinese buyers, who are now back in the market this week after being outré last week for their New Year celebration? Who believes that the central planners are going to manage currencies to preserve purchasing power?
