Summary

US equities opened in chop mode, but did claw upward into the late afternoon. Volatility was itself subdued, the VIX settling -4.3% to 24.74. 


Meanwhile...

Gold broke above the Sept'2011 historic high of $1923s, printing the $1941s. Today's cooler dollar in the DXY 93s certainly helped.

Gold, monthly'3


Psy'2K could clearly be seen before end month. Next big target is the 2400/500 zone.

Your views...


88.2% of you expect Gold to break above 2K before year end. With gold already breaking a new historic high, yours truly is open to 2400/500 before year end.



Around a third of you expect Silver to max out within the 25/29s.



Its not surprising to see Barrick Gold as the leader... and the leader is it, if not in price (still to break new historic highs), but underlying fundamentals.
