Perhaps the most notable actions came from ECB Chief Jean-Claude Trichet who was widely believed to be somewhat hawkish. Clearly he became convinced that unity among the world banks was more important than the risk of inflation.
In a CNBC exclusive he told us, “It is a confirmation that the cooperation (between nations) is good and intimate. Trichet then added, “I trust it was an important signal.”

Also, you might want to watch shipping rates. “When the Baltic Freight Index holds and gold stops going up, that’s the time when you can start being a buyer.”
