Yellen: Waiting For An Excuse To Call Off The Taper

In her prepared testimony she did stress her commitment to continue to follow through with the taper timetable that was established by Ben Bernanke. Of course, she did qualify that by repeating that it is data dependent, meaning that if the data changes, the Federal Reserve will change as well. I think the Federal Reserve knows the data is going to change, they are just waiting for the excuse to do what they are intending anyway which is to call off the taper and ultimately reverse it by increasing the amount of monthly QE, not diminishing it.

Gold: Most Selling Is Coming From The Short-Sellers

In my estimate, the main selling in the gold market is coming from the short-sellers who are selling gold they do not even own. I believe most of the speculative longs have long since left the market, they were flushed out in the second half of 2013. I think all you have now is short-sellers and ultimately they are going to be forced to buy back that gold, I believe, at much higher prices.
