The Morning Call---Gold soaring


The Morning Call

7/28/20

The Market
         
    Technical

The Averages  (26584, 3239) recouped some of the decline of last Thursday and Friday.  The S&P finished back above its June high; the Dow not.  Volume was flat, breadth improved.  So, it was a ho hum day, technically speaking.  But I am sticking with my assumption that the Market’s bias is to the upside.

Gold spiked 2% on big volume, making another new nine year high.  The long bond was down fractionally, but there was no break in its upward momentum.  The dollar gapped down ¾%.  The pin action in both GLD and UUP suggested that they were getting directionally overextended.  Some backing and filling would not be surprising.

            Gold hitting new highs.

            Gold’s message: the world economy is in trouble.

            What dollar collapse?

            Plus.
