Gold and Silver Signs of Fatigue / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Przemyslaw_Radomski
The biggest point of discussion over the past few days has been the relative strong performance of the US Dollar and its impact on precious metals.

A rally is likely in the coming months and a stronger correlation could be seen in the days ahead.

As October wore on and legions of new “experts” declared resources the place to be we started to get uncomfortable with the sudden surfeit of company we had in the metals space.
