(Kitco News) – The dollar continues to attract capital flows as stress continues to increase in some emerging markets. Global consequences to trade with the impending $200 billion in Chinese tariffs due to take effect this Thursday have pushed capital into the perceived safe haven of dollar-denominated assets. Gold dropped on dollar strength and both silver and the PGMs have been hit, not only by gold’s weakness, but also with the perception that slowing international trade will diminish demand for the industrial metals complex. Should the tariff deadline with China be mitigated before Thursday, we would expect a significant bounce in the latter group. Gold needs to recapture the $1,197 level to generate interest. A break below the $1,192 area suggests a retest of $1,180 is probable. Expect increased volatility as global markets are becoming increasingly risky.

You’re kidding, right? World currencies are dumping and gold and silver is following along? South America is shaping up to be the next Middle East, right under our noses. Did someone say Russia has bases in Brazil? This dollar thing is absolutely nuts. I suppose the FED is printing MORE to keep up with all this dollar buying?I’m not falling for this. Gold and silver will reverse. We’ll never see these prices again once the tide turns.
