Market participants focussed on U.S. March trade data, which could reveal immediate direction for USD, to which spot gold remains negatively correlated. Later this year, though, UBS says spot gold likely to advance on USD weakness, crack 4Q04 high of $456.75, to average US$460 in Q405 "on further dollar weakness this year;" expects metal to trade close to $500 towards end 2005, or early 2006. More immediately, says strong Asian physical demand has supported gold in recent days.

An American scientific expedition to the frozen wastes of the Antarctic is interrupted by a pair of seemingly mad Norwegians pursuing and shooting at a husky. The helicopter explodes in an accident, and the Norwegians are killed, leaving no explanation for the chase. During the night, as the scientists look on in shock, the husky mutates and attacks the other dogs in the camp. The team soon realises that a bizarre alien life-form has found its way into their midst. In the coming days - more pieces of the riddle are put together. Centuries ago - an alien spaceship had crash landed in the Antarctic. The pilot was thrown clear and eventually froze in the ice. The creature is eventually uncovered 100 000 years later by a group of Norwegian scientists who thaw the creature out. The alien comes to life and proves to be extremely hostile. It has the ability to alter its own cell structure to that of a consumed organism, and thus imitate the victim almost perfectly. Now the 12 men of US Outpost #31 stand between the alien and total infection of the planet. They must destroy the creature and prevent it from reaching civilisation. The only problem is - can they trust each other - when there is no guarantee the next man is human?  greatdane Member Username: greatdane Post Number: 184 Registered: 12-2002 Rating: N/A Votes: 0 Thursday, May 12, 2005 - 10:48 am:     The latest post seems to suggest that there are merits in investing in companies involved in bio tech research Regards, GreatDane  goldbug Member Username: goldbug Post Number: 177 Registered: 02-2004 Rating: N/A Votes: 0 Thursday, May 12, 2005 - 12:17 pm:     Mr Greatdane.... are you suggesting i should up my dose... probably a good idea under the current situation Technically speaking there appears to be a parting of ways with the POG ($US) chart and the Euro/$US chart. The Euro/$US chart has broken the uptrend line that has been in place for a number of years...it still hasn't decided for sure, but .... the buck wants to move higher.... The POG ($US) chart is still some way off the uptrend line. These two charts have moved in tandem for the last 3 years. A parting of company is potentially on the cards.. We have a couple of main THINGS other than the usual THINGS that have attracted the attention of gold investors which should underpin POG going forward. The North Korea / Iran nuke thing and The Yuan re-evaluation thing regards gb This is not a recommendation to buy or sell any company that manufactures mind altering drugs...but you could do worse....  rederob Member Username: rederob Post Number: 809 Registered: 10-2002 Rating: N/A Votes: 0 Thursday, May 12, 2005 - 06:28 pm:     The good news about POG is that with a stronger greenback of late, it's keeping its pecker up. Tonight sees the greenback hitting on 2 month highs, but POG in euro terms is still holding at $333.33 (actually is 6cents higher, but the 3s look cute). Even in Oz dollars POG is around mid AU$552 - and holding up well. What is happening is that physical gold is being purchased regularly on weakness, so the speculators are having trouble collapsing the price. It's interesting to note that if the current US monthly deficit at $55bn was reported a year ago there would be a flight to the exits: Whereas this year it's a welcome to our party! The suits that analyse currency trends see the greenback having a tough time in the second half of 2005, so the goldbugs are tipping $475-500 peaks before the year is out. Rather than bust out the bubbly, I'm going to sit in the bleaches, sip a quality tea, and watch gold slowly accumulate a winning score. Might post a scorecard at weeks end.  justice Member Username: justice Post Number: 352 Registered: 01-2003 Rating: N/A Votes: 0 Thursday, May 12, 2005 - 06:58 pm:     "The suits that analyse currency trends see the greenback having a tough time in the second half of 2005" Suits ain't suits. Dollar set to plunge By Nicki Bourlioufas May 12, 2005 The good time could be over with the local dollar set to plunge below US70 cents as commodity prices come off highs and foreign investment into Australia slows, according to Westpac Bank. Westpac has forecast the local dollar will fall to US72 cents by December 2005 and to US64 cents by December 2006. "The Australian dollar looks set for a fall in the second half of this year," said Westpac in a research report released today. "The fundamentals do not improve in 2006 either. In fact, the unfavourable trend accelerates." "We will see a combination of factors which have been positive over the last few years become negative," said Westpac senior economist Andrew Hanlan Westpac says a narrowing gap between US and Australian interest rates will slow foreign investment into the country as the return on investments in Australia becomes relatively less attractive. That will drive down demand for the local unit. While Australian interest rates are forecast to stay on hold at 5.50 per cent, US rates are set to climb to 4 per cent by the year's end and to 4.5 per cent by the end of 2006. "With the US Federal Reserve moving short rates (up) faster than the long end sells off, there will be another consistent weight on the currency through most of the period under discussion," said Westpac. The pace of global growth is also set to slow, "which is a sign that commodity prices will start to peak out," said Mr Hanlan. Already commodity prices have eased, which has hurt resource and oil stocks like BHP Billiton, Woodside Petroleum and Rio Tinto. Westpac expects the huge US current aco**** deficit will stablilise, which will push back up demand for the US dollar, to the detriment of the local dollar. Westpac forecasts Australian interest rates will stay on hold through 2005. "We have argued consistently that the March rate hike was going to be the last in the cycle. We have argued that there is evidence that the economy was already slowing and that the household sector would be particularly sensitive to the move. The Reserve Bank's official communication is now dovetailing with that view," said Westpac. http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5744,15261673%255E1702, 00.html ... out there somewhere ...  rederob Member Username: rederob Post Number: 810 Registered: 10-2002 Rating: N/A Votes: 0 Thursday, May 12, 2005 - 07:17 pm:     Thanks justice If the US dollar and Oz dollar tank in unison I guess the outcome for POG will be OK. But I suspect the action will be more favourable to POG imho as US funds will need to look for safety and bolster the gold price by pouring money into it. Presently there is much speculation on China's yuan revaluation taking effect sooner rather than later. The tea leaves are clouding the bottom of my cup at present, but the gold leaf pattern on the fine bone china brings a smile. Sip and be damned!  justice Member Username: justice Post Number: 353 Registered: 01-2003 Rating: N/A Votes: 0 Thursday, May 12, 2005 - 08:23 pm:     Mmmm, dammned! ;-) In which currency does BHP/RIO negotiate their resource prices?

Hence my view the market is looking to go lower.I do not believe the XAO will take out its high this year. The probabilities favour shorting Any turn around will be reflected in the technicals, so will be monitoring the technicals closely . The technicals help to decipher, blue sky from reality Cheers Vermante
