In a week that saw gold have its biggest two day drop since February we are more cognizant than ever of a term gaining currency: “Risk On – Risk Off.” Is hyperinflation one of the risks facing us? Are interest rates about to rise, and if so, how will that effect the price of gold?

Gold, silver, and mining stocks have declined sharply recently. Consequently, we have dedicated most of the current Premium Update (22 charts/tables) to explain what really happened - and what did not happen. The USD Index is breaking out of a declining resistance line, which does not have a significant direct influence on metals. However, there appears to be a strong indirect relationship between precious metals and the dollar, which one should take into account.

This week's Premium Update includes also our up-to-date rankings of top gold and silver juniors and the SP Long-term Junior Indicator. Additionally, we feature platinum and palladium markets.

The year 2010, to paraphrase Charles Dickens, was the best of times (for precious metals) and was the worst of times (for many people around the world). We look back at the past year and examine some thoughts of what we can expect in 2011. If history has taught us anything, it's to expect the unexpected.

It's been a very hot week for this time of the year - and we've sent out three Subscribers-only messages since posting the previous Premium Update. This week's issue features over 20 charts describing the important points made in these messages. Among other things it includes target for silver's next move, target for the USD Index, the probable path which the main stock indices will take next, and most of all - our take on the most important question today - was the recent rally a chance to short the market or the final reminder to get back on the long side?.

Additionally, we comment on the current volume levels and explain how one should approach them.
