Gold drops in the echo of the taper

Gold touched a 5-month low, falling below $1200 as the market digests the taper.

Metals fell yesterday but not as much as a surprise taper would indicate.The gold bugs ‘table’ had three legs:

  1. Fed money printing
  2. Inflation
  3. Deficits

The ‘table’ is now flat on the floor after the final leg was cut out yesterday. Soon, gold prices will be on the floor as well as the July 1 low is challenged following today’s break of the recent range, the mid-July low and $1200.
