Gold Hammered Again, as the Sector Digs Deeper into Two Week Correction

What is your rationale for the rout in gold? Is there a large seller getting out? The sector has been wrought with losses for the past two weeks, which has coincided with a revival of rate hike talks. This should come as no surprise to any of you. Furthermore, in spite of liking gold for its defensive qualities, this is precisely why I jettisoned all of my gold holdings a few month ago.

As you can see by the chart below, valuations, although elevated from recent lows, is nowhere near the nosebleed territory of the pre 2010 era.

With today’s 1.2% drop in gold, the sector is getting clawhammered lower, poleaxed even.

It’s worth noting, the mood is entirely glum in the commodity sector today, as it is rife with sellers emanating from the oil patch. WTI crude is now lower by more than 3% for the day.

God save Dennis Gartman.
