Gold Drops 2.2%



Crude oil remains hemmed in by the $99 mark but the commodity many traders are looking at is gold.

It’s in the middle of two ranges with support at $1,180 and resistance at $1,208.

Below $1,180 there’s resistance at $1,158.

The current dollar strength continues to pressure metals prices.

A Festive Stock Market Video Update



Here is a very quick re-cap of 2013, a year where the markets have mostly ignored negative-fundamentals and stayed in risk-on mode.

Looking at 2014, Matt Basi of CMC thinks that whilst equities are not cheap, it will be another good year for the stock markets.

(and because it’s Christmas, they’ve added a few funny outtakes too).
