Mineweb - GOLD NEWS - Gold continues its rise on weak dollar and short covering

Gold rose for the third straight day to hit a new eight-week high above $942 per ounce on Thursday, buoyed by firmness in oil prices and the dollar's recent slide to its lowest level in nearly five months.

But gains were mainly driven by funds buying U.S. gold futures, resulting in arbitrage cash gold purchases, while a rise in Asian currencies against the dollar capped the price of gold denominated in regional currencies, traders said.

"It's up mainly because of short-covering in the market,"said Ronald Leung, director of Lee Cheong Gold Dealers in Hong Kong. "The dollar is weakening again and the oil price is up,which favours gold for a little while."

Yahweh said to Israel that they would perish for a lack of knowledge (Hos. 4:6). Most Americans, no matter their vocation, are totally ignorant of the current plight of the US dollar, especially in relation to the Euro. In short, there is a dollar crisis in the world economy due to the level of American debt, which is the largest debtor in history, owing between $70-$100 trillion.
Americans have no knowledge that the US private controlled central bank, the Federal Reserve Bank, creates money out of thin air, is the chief cause of inflation in America, and the creator of various financial bubbles in stock market and real estate.
The reason that Americans are ignorant of the current dollar and economic crisis is that the US controlled media has not reported on it. The US media is controlled by five or six major corporations; Disney owns ABC, CBS is owned by Viacom, GE owns NBC. In short, the truth is suppressed and kept from the American masses. This is the chief cause of the mind control of 99.0% of Americans.
Although many world authorities, such as the IMF (International Monetary Authority) and World Bank, said the dollar will be devalued. this has not been reported in the US media.
Effects of US Dollar decline
Formerly economic adviser to President Clinton Robert Reich said in Canada recently that the US dollar will collapse, which was not reported in the news. The devaluation of the U.S. dollar means a decline in the purchasing power of the dollar, which leads to a decline in living standards. For example, if the US dollar declines 40% and you had a million US dollars, the million dollars will only buy $600,000.00 worth of goods and services. You would have lost $400,000.00 in purchasing power.
