By the end of 2016, 1.6 billion people will likely have a new gold investment standard for the first time in modern history . . . .

Our assumption – along with many others – was that gold would soar on a Trump victory. At first, gold exceeded $1,350 overnight, while the Dow index lost 800 points, but those markets reversed the next day and have gone in opposite directions ever since – with gold down to $1,222 and the Dow at record highs.

The main reason why gold went down is that . . . .

Gold is no longer vulnerable.  It has entered a nice buying area. The $1225 - $1200 price zone is both technically and fundamentally important.  Here’s why . . . .

Last week, after it appeared that Donald Trump would become our next president, precious metal trading was definitely extraordinary. In early Asian trading Wednesday morning, Gold reached a high of $1,355 per ounce, an $80.50 increase over the New York close  . . . .

James Rickards, economic and monetary expert, joined Francine Lacqua on “Bloomberg Surveillance” yesterday to discuss Trump and whether he will be good for markets, the economy and for gold . . . .

Gold futures dropped Friday to mark their lowest finish since June, as strength in the U.S. dollar and equities this week, and growing expectations for a Federal Reserve interest-rate increase next month, fueled the largest weekly decline in more than three years . . . .
