The PRICE OF GOLD eased back to $1330 per ounce Tuesday morning in London, dropping 0.7% from yesterday's 5-week highs as commodities slipped with major government bond prices.

Yesterday was an impulsive looking move and something of a statement in itself. But now technically, the metals and miners need to gather themselves (after a potential pullback on profit taking) and make a real statement.

The Fed’s tea leaves still infer the base case is some form of tapering to their bond buying campaign in September.

My chart this week shows simply nothing!   There is no way to determine what prices are going to do next until gold breaks through $1450 or falls below $1200.  Gold Bugs are waiting for the next drop in price to get rid of their dough!  The other 98%
