Eoin Treacy's view

The gold price rallied in tandem with bonds yesterday, despite the relative strength of the Dollar. That suggests at least a temporary reorientation of investor focus towards the view gold is a perpetual zero-coupon bond. The implication is inflation has peaked and could easily surprise on the downside and the lagged effect of central bank tightening becomes clear in Q2/Q3.
Gold continues to extend the break above $1800. A short-term overbought condition is developing but a sustained move below the trend mean will be required to question recovery potential.

Newmont broke successfully above the $50 level today to complete a six-month base formation.
