  • Manufacturing Activity Hits a 28-Year Low [View article]
    The U.S. still has a very large manufacturing sector, so this report is very relevant. The recently reported drop in consumer confidence (for October) was probably a harbinger of this report.

    As for the relevance of the ISM index to enthusiasm for gold, it's hard to use a change in one report like this as an argument in either direction. Gold probably makes the most sense for investors as a portfolio diversifier; its lack of correlation to large cap equities helps improve the portfolio's risk-return profile.
