Not that I want to get in a tangle with the Doom Do Do Dooo0m ZH crowd, but unemployment is very LOW at 4.9%. So low in fact that it's considered full employment because for various reasons, eg. disability.
Economic figures are weak, not terrible. Some here may recollect 2008/9, that's terrible. The worry is not inflation, but deflation.
Based on the above reasons that article is gormless.
First Au pour, not to be confused with commercial production, is nigh, I'll say early next week because BLK will want that news to be traded on. The sophs/instos/BLK need that news for reasons of credibility, ie. good management + cr = profit.
