The Shanghai Gold Exchange was trading at 275.60 towards the close today. This translates into $1,236.62. New York closed at a $16.82discount to Shanghai’s close yesterday. London opened at a discount of$14.62 to Shanghai’s close today.
Today is one of those days when we can see just where pricing power lies. New York has tried to pull prices back well below support, hitting $1,216 at one point. Shanghai took prices higher today in their consolidation process, but London moved in line with New York last night. How New York and London perform today becomes critical. If Shanghai falls, then pricing power sits in London and New York, today.
