The money supply is up very modestly from a year ago. What the fed is doing is shuffling money and trying to feed it to failing financials. They are also using the Supplementary Financing Program pretty aggressively to strip money out of the money supply. The other thing over the last 48 hours is that the European and Asian markets took worse hits than we did.
Polemic wrote:$400 billion was removed from the money supply (in theory.) Less dollars in circulation makes each dollar remaining more valuable. This is deflation and bullish for the dollar index.
Until they have more to lose not investing in gold or not dropping the dollar the vast vested interests in the financial world will continue to support the dollar and undermine gold even if the fundamentals seem to contradict this.
