Price Drivers

As we keep highlighting, Asian demand is pulling stock off the market, so when COMEX shorts the gold market it does not trigger stop loss selling, but, as short sellers found out, they have to pay up to close their positions. This is what happened yesterday when the gold price rocketed back over $1,200. It did look like the gold price would be forced down by more short selling, but this did not happen, leaving the shorts naked and rushing to cover themselves.

The dollar index fell to 96.53 down from 97.06 on Monday with an ongoing, slipping dollar leaving the euro at $1.0919. There were sales of 3.282 tonnes of gold from the SPDR gold E.T.F. but none from the Gold Trust on Monday. These sales were nowhere near enough to prevent the very rapid, large recovery of the gold price. We expected further falls and do so today as the short sellers seem unlikely to give up until we see a trend change in the short term. The holdings of the SPDR gold ETF are at 739.065 tonnes and at 165.58 tonnes in the Gold Trust.Subscribe www.goldForecaster.com.

Greece's Finance Minister Varoufakis has been taken out of the spotlight it appears, because the two sides have stopped communicating. With the Prime Minister stating on television that it is likely that the "Greek People" must decide the way forward, a default is imminent. If not then an election would not be needed. Essentially, the Greek people would be being asked if Greece should leave the euro and Eurozone. They would not be asked to accept austerity after electing Tsiras's manifesto in the last elections. We see this as meaning the Drachma's return. We don't see this as having affected the gold price, but will, once a conclusion is reached.

With the dollar's weakening the gold price rose yesterday, so a stronger Eurozone minus its weakest link is, in our opinion, is likely to lead to a stronger euro. This is not what the Eurozone wants and in particular not what Draghi of the E.C.B. wants!

Silver- Silver's price rose over 4% against gold's 2% defining the way the two will move.
