interesting history US invaded Iraq in 2003. US stayed there until 2011 when it withdrew gold rose from 2002/2003 to 2011 then fell I started on gold when it broke $400 early 2000s and seemed a slow and painful journey at times since gold broke through 2000 level in 2024 it has spiked and spiked some more parabolic is the word i would use will it continue here is the question i ask myself will all stocks get hammered first including the goldies then we have the history of the 1979/80 oil crisis and gold spike. now that was a spike and gold then fell for 20 years i really did not expect it again in my lifetime interesting to me is that oil is spiking here (and with good reason) but gold has fallen in the short term I have never felt as unsure about gold as i do just here i have no answers and some big questions. I can kinda see a roadmap unfolding US Fed is one driver and rates not dropped last week. I expect the inflation data as it unfolds will be a big driver for gold rates will drop and gold will recover other big driver has been the treasuries led by china. china stopped buying gold for 3 months last year and gold fell does anyone know who is still buying. we do get data end of month so will be interesting i expect gold to definitely regain its lustre this year but for me it is a question of when I am just not so sure about gold in the short term happy to be wrong and my posts are for my own benefit dont get me wrong. there is a lot of good info on here but i find the w....s get so hung up on their own perspectives and being right. i know my limitations. one of my friends on here posted weeks ago that gold is now a tier one asset for the world banks. another support for gold we also have the brics using gold almost as currency so yes gold for long term for me but it needs to regain its momentum first as always i would love a cleansing hammer. we had it on oil on 7 april and look at it flying now. i expect the analysts knew then how it would unfold. i expect gold to do the same but will see the next little period
