The U.S. stock market has enjoyed a strong rally since the early spring, but while the economy has shown improvement, it still faces major headwinds. So it may be best to hedge against the U.S. dollar, which is likely to experience a significant decline over the next few months.

The high water mark for gold occurred at 12:00 noon in Hong Kong on Monday. From there, gold shed about $7 by the time London had been trading for an hour. Gold gained almost all of that back in the rest of London trading…and up until precisely 9:00 a.m. in New York. Then a seller showed up…with another sharp sell-off the moment that London closed. From there, gold did nothing…except briefly tick down to its low of the day…$938.40. For a Monday, volume was very light…and [according to the usual N.Y. commentator] “saw estimated volume of only 84,287 lots which, if it is not radically revised, suggests Monday was the quietest Comex day in quite some time.” The US$ was up…

If history is our guide, then the rally we’ve seen in U.S. stocks in recent weeks is more than just a periodic run-up in share prices – it’s the initial stage of a prolonged bull market.

Well, the gold chart looked pretty bleak very early Friday morning…with gold touching the $880 level in London as I turned my computer off from writing Friday’s rant. I must admit that I turned the computer back on about lunch time yesterday with some fear and trepidation, but was pleasantly surprised that the price I’d seen last night [just before the London a.m. fix] was the low tick of the day. From there it worked its way a few dollars higher…right into Comex floor trading in New York.
