There are a few rumours circulating that tomorrow's FOMC meeting at 2:15 pm just might usher in a major surprise announcement that could potentially steer the markets for several weeks. The strength in the USD and suppression of gold and silver over the past few days could have just been nothing more than buffering action. By now Chairman Ben knows whether he will be re-elected for another term so he just might be the one to perform the dirty work. If he is on his way out, he might even decide to tell the truth for once and really shock the markets. With major debts coming due, another bout of admitted printing operations is of high probability. With jittery equity markets rolling over, the USD bouncing off heavy resistance, and massive job losses again in the headlines, we just might be in the midst of a pivotal week.
