The U.S. dollar index is breaking out to the upside and ifit gets through 91, then 95 would be the next target. Typically, a strongdollar trumps commodity prices. With gold at $1,330, which is a support level,there is danger that this level will fail.
Although there is fear in the equity markets, gold hasstruggled and failed to break out to the upside. Failure to hold above $1,365brings $1,300 back into play. Add in the strength of the dollar and failure at $1,330could be ugly.
The 10-year notes are pushing 3% and the dollar is spiking,leaving gold in danger of breaking down. With silver coming back to supportafter breaking out to the upside, gold better hold $1,330 or the weak handswill start selling.
