Das du den 20K Bestand verringerst auf 888 kann ich verstehen. Ist ja jetzt doch sehr fix südwärts gelaufen und daher jederzeit etwas Erholung wieder zumindest temporär möglich. Und von Gewinnmitnahmen ist noch keiner arm geworden ;) Bin mal gespannt wie man nach 20:00 regieren wird auf die Januar-Minutes. 2/20/2013 @ 11:56AM |UPDATE: Comex Gold Extends Losses On Technical Selling;
http://www.forbes.com/sites/kitconews/2013/02/20/update-comex-gold-extends-losses-on-technical-selling-traders-await-fomc-minutes/ (Kitco News) - Gold futures fell to their lowest level in seven months Wednesday in a move described largely as technical-chart-related selling, with the recently improved tone in equities and some uneasiness ahead of the release of Federal Open Market Committee minutes both contributing factors, traders said. Sell stops were triggered, particularly as gold fell back below the $1,600-an-ounce level that it had dipped below briefly on Friday, said Sean Lusk, precious-metals analyst with Ironbeam. Stops are pre-placed orders activated when certain chart points are hit. Just before 11:30 a.m. EST, gold for April delivery was down $21, or 1.3%, to $1,583.20 an ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange. It bottomed at $1,577.50, its lowest level since mid-July. March silver was down 69.2 cents, or 2.3%, to $28.73 and hit a low of $28.415 that was its weakest level since August. “This is a continuation of a technical sell-off,” Lusk said. One New York desk trader said the declines are not the result of any single news event specific to Wednesday but part of a downward correction that has been occurring for a while now. “We’re seeing further exhausted long liquidation,” he said, adding that some traders might be trying to capitalize on the pullback by opening short positions as well. Some traders have blamed a recent pullback largely on improved sentiment toward riskier assets, with equities recently hitting longtime highs, that in turn has taken away some of the near-term interest in gold. Also, Lusk said, there might be some worries that minutes of the January meeting of the FOMC, due out at 2 p.m. EST, might show policy-makers to be less dovish, which in turn would be seen as a hint quantitative easing could end sooner than previously thought. Some market participants appear to have the feeling that “the worst of the recession is behind us and this printing of money has worked,” Lusk continued. “I don’t agree personally,” he said. “But that’s the sentiment you’re seeing out there. So we’re testing down to some levels we haven’t seen since last summer.” A stronger U.S. dollar is also taking a toll, he continued. The euro was down to $1.3346 from $1.3388 late Tuesday and $1.3711 early this month. “Until we see some buying out of the Asian sector where we come in and are $10 to $15 higher, I think the pressure is still going to be on,” Lusk said. He also added, “we’ll see what the (FOMC) minutes have to say.” |
