Friday’s AM fix was USD 1,583.00, EUR 1,291.30and GBP 1,007.83 per ounce.

Gold climbed $2.90 or 0.18% in New York on Friday and closed at $1,583.90/oz. Gold initially traded sideways in Asia and then began to fall about 0.75% by the open of trading in Europe.
Gold edged down on Monday due to the pressure from a stronger dollar, as worries about the Eurozone debt crisis grew after Spain looked like the next candidate for a sovereign bailout.
Spain has two regions seeking aid from the central government and El Pais reported that six Spanish regions may ask for aid from the central government while Spanish bonds yields continue to rise. As the 4th largest economy in the Eurozone Spain looks likely to follow Greece, Portugal and Ireland seeking an international bailout.
Greece’s creditors meet this week as many doubt they will meet their bailout commitments. German Vice Chancellor Philipp Roesler said he’s “very skeptical” that European leaders will be able to rescue Greece. China’s economic expansion may fall for a 7th straight quarter to 7.4% in the three months to September, said Song Guoqing, a member of the People’s Bank of China monetary policy committee.
Technical analysis suggested that spot gold would be neutral in the range of $1,567.34 - $1,597/oz said Wang Tao a Reuters market analyst.
Investors are favouring safe haven assets such as the dollar, yen and U.S. Treasuries while some just sit on cash until more clearer signals from the US Fed are given.

...and the USG10 is about to break into 130's.
Next stop Pluto........our crap only stinks a little bit.
If PBoC is saying 7.4% down from 7.6% reality must be somewhere around 5-6%...
What concerns me is the recent setback for famous gold guru Tony Robbins

Tony's recent nightmare:

Next time.....walk faster....or don't pay someone to walk over their fire.
Many moons ago, I dated a girl (very) briefly who had a shelf of Tony Robbins motivatonal crap.
No wonder her ex walked out on her. Nuttiier than a squiirrel turd.
Actually the ritual took about one and a half hour and 6000 people attended the event. So, what if one out of 100 got burned.
If you just hand over all your money before the 'event', Tony lets you surf the coals on your empty wallet.

Spain is to the EU as California is to the U.S.A.
Ka-Boom
I guess were going to need another Euro Summit,
Only one can save the Euro now:

there will be no recovery.
the only reason money is now invested is to wrench the last drops of value out of comanies and countries, which have already been wrenched out dry.
they're all trying to save themselves.
so there is no constructive investment anymore, just speculation.
so any interventies will only lead to a very short improvement (kicking the can), because this is specifically the nature of speculation, making a quick buck.
i would say that good investment for the coming years is minimizing your losses and minimizing damage.
The 'strong dollar' will really help stimulate our way out of this 'Great Recession,' right?
Since the EFSF is pretty much empty and the ESM will not go into operation in the near future (decision of the German court will come on September 19 and I don't expect an 'all clear' decision). So who will finance that bailout? The ECB with their SMP as an de facto preferred creditor? Hells yeah!
Apparently whatever they are doing with Spain is not working. Time for Plan B. Whatever that is.
in europe,
the solutions is often higher taxrates.
so just tax em some more.
