Why IMF Gold Sales Won't Affect the Gold Market

your ignoring the psychological aspect to this. Traders do not want to see one of the largest holders of gold to sell. Tradeers will sell gold as news of this comes out. If one of the largest gold holders is selling... what does that tell you? (If u do not know who the sucker is when playing poker... its u)

gold broke its 6month uptrend yesterday via its SMAs, and could not breached its previous highs. A negative set up has formed. I don't know how low its going to go because qualitative fundamentals in this metal is difficult due to its speculative nature, but short-term things do not look good.

Long Gold/Short Oil vs. Long Natural Gas/Short Oil

I see ur thesis, but oil was in a speculative move the past few months. I am under the impression that oil will come down harder than Gold and Nat Gas, but all three commodities will fall in the interm.

Slowing global economy and rising rates does not held Oil, Gold or Nat Gas. (unless one of them has a reason to diverge from the current economic situation)
