Seems very suspicious to me that gold makes a big $24 jump some 12 hours or so before the BoJ says they are going to sell massive amounts of Yen. Then when the announcement is made, gold & silver does nothing only proving that it did nothing because it had already made its move earlier.
Wake up. Gold made the move in reaction to the Goldman report about QE2. The move was synchronous with spikes in EUR, AUD, GBP, CHF, etc virtually across the board.
