    Yes I was thinking the same thing. Last time gold went up alot like this Citigroup got bailed out.
     
  3. The sovereign debt downgrades are certainly playing a role and are bullish for gold. Gold doesn't pay a coupon (like bonds do), but it becomes relatively more attractive when sovereign bonds are regarded are less safe.

    A week or two ago, I heard rumors that China was acting in the gold market... which I heard right after a large spike in gold. I never was able to confirm it, but keep your ears open for any news from China in regards to buying commodities as opposed to Treasuries.
