Expect to see the metals under pressure today and tomorrow ahead of the usual media blitz and spin related to financial policy decisions. No one expects a rate increase, or even chatter about a tightening. Monetary policy is very likely to be gold bullish for many months into the future. Gold seasonal strength is approaching. All in all, I think this is the last big effort to suppress the metals and then it should be a strong month going forward. Tomorrow may be the last good buying opp for a while for bullion.

cheers!
