Quiet For Now, But EU Clouds Forming

Gold continues to meander into the last trading days of 2014, as both the dollar and oil appear to have stabilized into year-end. Greece will once again be on everyone’s radar, as the Greeks failed to elect a new President. This opens the door for a snap election where the outcome could result in Greek voters picking a leader who may abandon the current austerity program and raise doubts about Greece’s membership in the EU. This could turn into a significant story for early 2015, which may create some safe-haven flows into the metals from the EU investor block. Although the market remains thin on participation, we have three full trading days in front of us and volatility may increase into year-end positioning.
