Fears of Gustav subside - therefore oil is down $8 per barrel - therefore gold is down $35. per ounce- many people still on Labour day weekend - therefore trading is very light - therefore commodity stocks are down - seasonal turn to upside in the price of gold/other commodities is still on track - steady stream of news in the fall from the Ring of Fire is still on track - therefore rise in the price of gold/commodity stocks is still on track.
My only caveat to the above is that gold and oil may be manipulated down to put a better face on things before the U.S. elections. If so I would expect the rise in gold and commodity prices to be more explosive after the election.
IMHO.
