The Daily GOLD PRICE(rate) rose a lazy $4.90 to close on Comex at $950.70, up, but not above $954-$955 resistance.
The Daily SILVER PRICE(rate) rose 24 cents to $14.578 cents. Okay, okay, so far, so good, but these closes are mid-range values, not break-outs up or down, so we are still watching.
I'm still looking at two outcomes. Less likely is a surprise US Dollar rally that slows gold's final thrust through $1,000 by 3 to 6 months. More likely is sideways to higher Daily silver and gold prices(rate) through August, with a rise to pierce $1,000 in the fall. SOMETHING needs to break out of its range to make clear which to expect.
However, long term nothing has changed. As the FOMC statement today re-iterates, the Fed has inflated, is inflating, and will inflate. Therefore the dollar will continue to decline over the long term, and silver and Daily gold prices(rate) will continue to rise, since they are the only stable alternative currencies.
The US DOLLAR INDEX dropped 29.7 basis points, which to me wasn't large enough to say much. What's that phrase all the gurus use? "A muted response." Yeah, that's it. News that dollar interest Daily rates are likely to stay low until palm trees grow in Greenland isn't really good news for the buck, since relative interest rates are one of the primary determinants of short term exchange rates. And of course, the rest of the FOMC's statement was merely, "Inflation, inflation, and more inflation." Yet the buck only fell 29.7 bps, and not to next support which would have been 78.33. Let's see now what a couple of days' trading does. Events have not yet foreclosed a dollar rally.

The whole world, or the markets at least, are holding their breath before tomorrow's Federal Reserve Open Market Committee. Ho-hum. Whatever they do will have no more than passing effect.
US DOLLAR INDEX today remained essentially flat, down 5.6 basis points to 79.144. Nothing. I am still waiting to parse the dollar, whether it will rally further and delay Daily Gold and Silver Price(rate) or resume its fall. Stay tuned until the Holy Monetary Monks read the sheep guts and speak their oracles.
STOCKS moved more than other markets today, with the Dow dropping 96.5 to 9,241.45. Just my gut feeling, but I think this is a shallow correction indicating buying power under the market. After all, what else can people buy, other than stocks? Most don't have enough imagination, or have been too misled and brain-washed, even to consider silver or gold. But the rally is a seducer, a Siren, a trap for bulls set by the bear. Use higher stock Daily prices(rate) to sell whatever stocks you have left, and put the proceeds into silver and gold.
On Comex today Daily GOLD Price(rate) closed up a mighty, a magnificent, eighty cents at US$945.80. Whole day was slow, with a high at 949.70 and low at 942.10. It's a wonder the floor traders didn't fall asleep on their feet.
And Daily SILVER Price made big moves likewise, closing down one cent [sic] at 14.338 cents.
Tomorrow's FOMC announcement will take pressure off markets one way or the other. I know, I understand, it is repeated to me o'er and o'er that metals are in danger of falling off here, but until I see the Daily gold price(rate) drop below 920 then 909 and the silver price below 13.75, I won't be joining their opinions.
On this day in 1860 opened the first successful US silver mine near
