For the last couple of weeks, wehave written about the struggles of gold and thought our read was wrong whengold popped to $1,365 before failing. Tuesday showed more of that failure;equities melted down, as did gold. There is a lot of pressure on gold and thatonly figures to get worse as it approaches $1,300.
After three days of rallying,equities found themselves under pressure and the question is what doesTuesday's sell-off mean? The answer is simple. If there is follow-through tothe downside, the tops are in, and if they rally, new highs are on the way.
We believe the black-swan eventis the Fed and its clueless monetary policy. The Fed is losing control of thebond market and shortly will lose its last ace, which is the weaker dollar. Thedollar looks ready to explode, which should keep the pressure on gold. Nextstop: $1,300
Keep those stops tight.
