USA markets were closed yesterday for Labor Day. World markets sold off Monday and Tuesday.
Stock indices gapped lower and closed at days highs.
Dollar made made big move higher to test 76.
Early Tuesday morning, Swiss central bank devalued their currency (effectively pegging it to Euro) about 8%. Price of gold had reached new highs before the Swiss devaluation. Some say this is an "easy" trade of short Swiss Franc, long Euro. I suggest staying away from paper manipulated works. Instead, keep stacking the physical bullion.
Gold was lower on Swiss banker currency devaluation (paper manipulation). Oddly, GLD held higher prices until 11AM Eastern.
