With respect to this week's title, in each of the prior three missives we've anticipatively penned: 20 March: "So clearly we see Gold as on the go through here: 1800 seems quite reasonable as an initial goal, however the 1800s in general...
In settling the abbreviated trading week on Thursday at a price of 1730, Gold's net change from the prior Friday was but -1 point. But here's the real but: Gold's trading range for the week initially ran from 1733 down to 1677, and then...
