Should a terrorist attack happen the gold price will blast through the resistance at $430

The risk of a major terrorist attack between now and the US elections on 2nd November is considerable, as such an event would assure a victory for the Republicans by a considerable margin. Should this happen gold will blast through the resistance at $430 before you have time to scratch your ankle. Otherwise gold is waiting for the next decisive move by the dollar.

Three phases of the gold price

The bottom line is that today’s gold bull, over three years old now, is definitely a secular specimen. Past secular gold bulls unfold in a massive parabolic shape over a decade or so, driven by accelerating global investment demand. This investment demand growth can be divided into three distinct stages driven first by contrarians, then global investors, and ultimately the general public.

The Dollar-Titanic

It´s just like the Titanic in a way, except that this currency-cruiser is not really about to hit an iceberg. Instead, it has been set on a wrong course from the very beginning (meaning 1971) with the rudder structurally tethered so that the course cannot be changed. Unfortunately, the inevitable consequence of this is that, the longer this ship sails, the greater is the likelihood that it will hit dry land – eventually. (And that eventuality isn´t too far away anymore, as July´s non-farm payrolls fiasco has shown us today!)

Gold: Back to the Future?

Gold: Back to the Future? A long time ago the store-of-value aspect of money was taken seriously by world governments and economists. The era coincided with a gold standard begun in 1717 by the British; in 1785 the Americans adopted a bi-metallic standard of silver and gold. In 1900, the US switched entirely to a gold standard.
