What Is Frank Holmes’ Touchdown Pass for Gold?

An array of important economic data for the U.S. was released last week and Kitco News’ Daniela Cambone asks Frank Holmes how these numbers could affect gold moving forward. Frank says that with nonfarm payrolls and the ISM manufacturing index numbers looking positive, there is undeniable strength in the American economy, but agrees that short term it does have a significant effect on gold.

Frank explains that the current pressure on gold comes from its inverse relationship with the U.S. dollar which is strong right now, but says there are plenty of positives for the precious metal regardless. He specifically notes the cultural celebrations beginning in India that should ramp up gold demand.
