As an aside, the bear raid on gold that occurred in conjunction with a non-announcement from the IMF about their previously announced gold sale did not stick, with prices snapping back today to the paint at which the raid hit, first the miners, and then the metals, largely in the thin after hours trade.
Next week is an option expiry in the metals futures markets, and the US is planning on auctioning an enormous amount of Treasuries, so we would not be complacement at this point.
Still, it was gratifying to see that Dennis Gartman bought back the gold position he sold before the rally. He sold at the bottom, let's see if he can do better and not jinx us for a short term top.
