Hey IDC Holders

Gold has risen for the second session in a row. There will be profit taking, but once the stimulus measures are activated by Bank of Japan, Bank of England, US Fed this will accelerate the demand for gold bullion from July.

The Chinese stimulus which will lift the yellow metal's price above the $1650/oz level in the next fortnight, the Central Banks actions will do the rest.

Perfect time for Mt Kare Baby Mammoth to awaken!

Bring on the drilling results and PFS!

Gold rises for second session

June 12, 2012 - 6:44AM

Gold futures rose for the second straight session on renewed concern that the European debt crisis will spur demand for the metal as a haven.

Spain requested as much as 100 billion euros ($US125 billion) in emergency loans to shore up its banking system. Greece is scheduled to hold elections on June 17 after a vote last month failed to produce a governing majority. The Standard & Poor's GSCI Spot Index of 24 raw materials fell for the third straight session.

“We are seeing some safe-haven bids coming in as people are worried that the crisis is getting worse,” Sterling Smith, a commodity market analyst at Citigroup Inc.'s institutional client group, said in a telephone interview from Chicago. “People are looking at alternative investments besides the dollar, and we are seeing some technical buying.”
