my views on gold are that because of the iraq crisis which i think is real(intially, i thought it was some poker game like in ukraine), pushed up the liquid gold(OIL), when oil goes up, gold also goes up. but once the crisis is over, you can see gold going down again. The selling of greenback for the past 2 days are also reasons why gold went up but minimal. if you look at the 1 day chart, it's still a downtrend. besides, did you all notice how gold price build up for the past 2 weeks, apparently, before the news broke, someone out there already know something is brewing in iraq. i always use gold price to judge how the world economy is doing, cos USD and RMB are very closely related to it.
feel free to addon if you think otherwise...
look at the downtrend channel of the 1 day chart, you will know why i say gold is still downtrending...
