I should also mention some concerns (for now of short-term nature) I have about commodity prices including gold. A large number of commodities including oil, the CRB Index, and gold broke out on the upside in early October. I would regard a failure to hold above the “upside breakout points” in the period directly ahead with great caution. In the case of gold a decline below 1000 dollars an ounce would likely lead to further more meaningful weakness (possibly down to between 800 and 900 dollars an ounce).
