The week’s news cycle focused mainly on events in and around Syria and events related to those events. A Russian jet was shot down by Turkey for flying over its airspace on the way to Syria. U.S. economic data that was released was mediocre at best. Yet the consensus remains that the Fed is set to raise interest rates in December.
We believe the Fed will raise rates next month, but not because the economy is doing well and can withstand a rate hike, but to protect the dollar against de-dollarization initiatives and to protect its own credibility.
Gold closed last week at $1077.20 and closed this week at $1056.60
