Forex Trading Alert: How Low Could USD/CAD Go?
October 28, 2014, 12:34 PMEarlier today, the Commerce Department showed that durable goods orders fell 1.3% in the previous month, missing expectations for a 0.5% increase.

Does Gold Always Respond to Real Interest Rates?
October 27, 2014, 3:07 PMGenerally, the real interest rates are negatively correlated with the gold price, i.e. the rising interest rates adversely impact the price of the yellow metal. According to a rule of thumb, whenever the dollar’s real short-term interest rate is below 2%, gold rallies, and whenever the real short-term rate is above 2%, the price of gold falls. However, there are many objections to the use of such a simple model, and generally to the adverse relationship between gold and real interest rates.

October 20, 2014, 12:52 PMDoes gold respond to the inflation or rather to the real interest rate? Paul Krugman said once that the reason behind the high real price of gold between 2001 and 2011 was low real interest rates, not the expected inflation. Is he right and are real interest rates really the main driver of the yellow metal price? How do they affect the gold market?
