President Herman Van Rompuy Speaks and the Dollar Falls Out of Bed

The euro jumped higher on Friday when the European Council President Herman Van Rompuy said the euro zone reaffirms its commitment to use its bailout funds flexibly and efficiently to calm markets. As the Euro gained ground the US Dollar fell from grace with commodities such as gold up $15.00 and silver up $0.51. The Asian markets also reversed negative trends to head to higher ground.
 
In our humble opinion this reaction to the soothing words of a Eurocrat clearly demonstrates that we really have no idea about what is going on and we are clutching at straws. Very little has changed, apart from the infusion of around 60 billion euros and the re-allocation of about the same amount in an attempt to alleviate the prevailing anxiety. This is no more than a band being applied to a patient who has multiple fractures and numerous broken bones.
Its a puzzle to us that those currently cheering the latest announcement to emanate from Europe ever got together with money in the first place.
This initial bout of euphoria will fade faster than Germany’s interest in the European Football competition, now that they are out of it.
Do not get carried away with this news, hold onto your holdings in the precious metals sector and don’t be pressured by what is little more than white noise.
Kick back, relax and enjoy the weekend, the Euro compact, fiscal or political is at the end of the road, all that remains is the credits and a rendition of the national anthem.
Proceed with great caution.
