The Gold Market has Sold Off on anticipation of a Taper

“The gold market has sold off on anticipation of a taper. But even if the Fed does taper, I think we get a rally… Okay, so the Fed tapered, so what? It’s still got cheap money, it’s still going to keep on coming. Buy gold. So I think gold rallies on a taper, but I think it can have an even bigger rally on a non-taper, as people realize that the taper they baked into this gold cake isn’t going to happen. Instead, we’re getting even more QE. Either way, gold rallies.” - in Europac Metals Blog
