Gold’s Biggest Threat

In this week’s edition of Gold Game Film, Kitco’s Alex Letourneau asks Frank Holmes what the biggest threat for gold is right now. Following the much-anticipated FOMC meeting last week, the U.S. dollar saw a correction and gold strengthened on Wednesday. Despite the moves, Frank tells Alex that the currency remains a strong threat to the yellow metal.

Frank also comments on the situation in Greece, and explains why all eyes should be on consumer price index numbers coming out this week. Tune in below to catch the full replay and to see what gold’s touchdown pass of the week is.
