The following post was originally published on TheDailyGold.com

Gold Awaits Fundamental Shift
The following post was originally published on TheDailyGold.com

Gold Miners Weak But Not Oversold
The following post was originally published on TheDailyGold.com
If looking at Gold only in a vacuum, it looks good. Its uptrend since the start of the year remains intact and it has pushed above its 50 and 200-day moving averages. It closed the week at $1280/oz and could test $1300 next week. But looks can be […]
