Kraaja,
It's a coincidence I was just reading a dialogue between you and Ashwani in the other thread.
The current price on all precious metals is measured as a cross against the USD. Just like currencies, the precious metals have their predictable cyclical patterns.
All precious metals have their mathematical relationship with currencies because of the fact it is measured as a cross against the USD.
As an example, at any given time, you can take the EUR/USD * USD/CHF, and it will always equal the EUR/CHF.
You can take, as an example, XAG/USD * USD/CHF, and you will get the price on XAG/CHF. That would be gold as a cross with the Swiss franc.
If your question pertains to fundamental data, then I do not have an answer, as I do not subscribe to anything fundamentally related, because it is too easy to prove the exception, which proves it to be a false conclusion. In making all my forecasts, the only thing I evaluate are the charts I have in front of me. Needless to say, all my trading decisions are made based on the charts in front of me.
