Traders werereluctant to sell into the weekend but the momentum accelerated on Monday. Theissues with Turkey should have provided some safe-havenbuying but the flows went into the dollar, as traders ignored gold's historicrole. The selling in gold has abated somewhat this morning as the dollar hasgiven up some of its gains but the pressure remains to the downside in thecommodity space as pressure continues to build in the emerging economies.
