Below is Dennis’ insight from today’s “The Gartman Letter,” which AlphaBaskets is now pleased to be sharing with our audience on a weekly basis.
Gold in dollar terms is under very real pressure and has been so following the Fed’s non-decision earlier this week. There had been hope amongst the gold Bugs that the Fed might actually increase its “accommodation” to the market. It did not, and in not doing so one leg of the gold bull market was removed. Gold is having a small bid to it this morning, rising from its overnight lows, on the news out of Israel/Syria noted above and noted below at some length; however, that strength is strangely modest and a “healthy” gold bull market would have seen gold rising $25/oz. or more. It has risen a very few, instead. We note this apparent weakness, although we are not recommending that one sell gold even though this is Friday and Friday’s have been anathema to gold buyers of late.
