  • Gold & Silver Trading Alert: First Breakdown

    March 20, 2014, 5:02 PM

    The dollar’s rally and the precious metals’ decline were seen right after comments from the Fed about the planned $10 billion cut in asset purchases. They will now amount to “only” $55 billion per month.

    The dollar’s rally and the precious metals’ decline had already been seen in the charts and the Fed comments served as a catalyst. The situation in gold and mining stocks had already been overbought on a short-term basis, so a decline here might not have changed anything… But it actually has - just not for all the parts of the precious metals sector. The situation is complex but we think it provides us with a potentially profitable opportunity.
