For Gold the Run is Done

This report was published before gold dropped precipitously on Wednesday. See the link below.

For gold, it seems Friday’s retail sales data marked the beginning of the end. Confirming my suspicions about the economy, April’s data was far better than the winter reports. It supports my “negative feedback loop” theory, and it means the dollar is more likely to appreciate moving forward. I have been warning for months about the likelihood of a Fed rate hike in June, and the idea is now gaining traction among some pundits as well. It all adds up to a strengthening dollar, which means it’s the beginning of the end for the year’s early gold run. See the whole story at For Gold It's the Beginning of the End of the Run.
