NEWS FROM EUROPE HAS AWOKEN THE SLEEPING GIANT

Precious metals continue to rise on the news of the European debt crisis meeting being canceled for this week.  Both gold and silver have broken through to a one-month high, with gold finally passing the $1,700 mark investors have been watching for.  Richard Ross, Chief Technical Strategist at Auerbach Grayson & Co., commented on the jump in prices, “Gold has kind of been like a sleeping giant for the last month or so.” 

Gold may also have been awakened by news of the August Case-Shiller 20-city home price index declining as much as 3.8% year-over-year.  The September number for consumer confidence had also fallen, coming in at 39.8, short of the 46 estimate.  This number puts it at the lowest since March 2009.

At 4:00 PM (CT) the APMEX precious metals spot prices were:

  • Gold - $1,708.40 – Up $54.10.
  • Silver - $33.30 – Up $1.62.
  • Platinum - $1,567.50 – Up $25.50.
  • Palladium - $643.90 – Up $3.40.

Just placed my order for the 1st 2013 America The Beautiful coin. I especially like this one as my sister and I went on vacation there and stayed at the White Mountain Inn.
