  • Current Situation in U.S. Dollar and non-USD Gold Price

    September 27, 2013, 11:12 AM

    The Federal Reserve surprised markets over a week ago, but some officials fueled uncertainty after they said that the U.S. central bank could still begin tapering later this year. Additionally, yesterday‘s mixed economic data gave conflicting signals on the health of the economy. In such circumstances gold lost almost 0.7% and dropped below $1,330 an ounce. What did happen with the dollar? What’s the current outlook for the USD Index? What impact could it have on gold? If you want to know our take on these questions, we invite you to read our today's essay.

  • Gold & Oil: Which Has a Better Upside Potential?

    September 24, 2013, 12:10 PM

    Last week, we had a real rollercoaster triggered by the Fed’s unexpected decision to continue buying bonds. After sharp increases, which resulted in an over 4% gain in gold and 2% in crude oil, investors realized that this euphoric rally was fueled by a weaker economic outlook from the Fed. These circumstances resulted in a quick profit-taking during the last two sessions of the week. In this way, light crude has declined sharply and reached a new week low. What’s interesting, at the same time gold gave back only 60% of the previous sessions’ gains. Did the recent drop change the outlook for these commodities? Has the link between crude oil and gold changed in the recent days? If you want to know our take on these questions, we invite you to read our today's essay.
