Das "enge Laufen" des Goldes mit dem Dollar war am Freitag durchaus nicht "eng" und der Kursverfall hing auch nur vordergründig mit dem Dollaranstieg zusammen:
Während Dollar zu EURO nur etwa 0,33% zulegte, sackte der Goldpreis gestern in NY von über 666,-USD am Donnerstag auf knapp über 654,-USD gestern Abend ab. Das waren immerhin 1,8%!
Der Dollaranstieg -der sich übrigens genauso schnell verflüchtigen wird, wie der vor 2 Wochen (auch an einem Freitag)- war nur der vorgeschobene Grund. Der wahre Grund waren nervöse Trader, die vor dem Wochenende ihre Gewinne sichern wollten. Denn Gold hatte in Serie 22 USD zugelegt. Der Verlust dürfte kommende Woche postwendend ausgebügelt werden. Morgen Nacht, wenn der Handel in Hongkong startet, werden wir sofort sehen, wohin die Reise geht.

"Gold futures mark for first loss in seven sessions Prices fall as traders lock in a six-session gain of nearly $22

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Gold futures closed with a loss Friday as traders locked in a six-session gain of more than 3%, but prices still finished the week over $3 higher. "Nervous and technical traders moved in to take gold lower Friday using U.S. housing data as the excuse to lock in gains and in the process hit a technical support level to sell gold off further," said Peter Spina, chief investment strategist at GoldSeek.com. "Gold is grinding its way higher, while still consolidating from the prior correction," he said in e-mailed comments. ... "Gold bullion prices quickly retreated to the $660 level after gaining nicely over several sessions during the week," said Jon Nadler, a metals analyst at Kitco.com. "This week's ascent, while looking promising, was not only stalling at higher levels, but was subject to some mild pull-backs soon. ... Looking ahead, "rising energy costs and the inflationary impact this will have not only on the U.S. economy but globally, will likely prove very supportive to gold and its unique anti-inflationary qualities, mid to longer-term," James Moore, metals analyst at TheBullionDesk.com said in a note to clients." |
