Ipso – yes, even though the USD hasn’t fallen that much it has certainly devalued against gold. Not sure if the article meant some sort of “event” devaluation or just sort of jawboning and rate reduction to devaluate.
R6 – I guess to answer your earlier question it looks like they’ll keep the shares under wraps on the day, which should keep a cap on the metals as well. Silver has already lost half its gains.
Not much new on planet earth today that I can see.
