By: Merv_Burak
Another week on the up side for gold and silver. Even the U.S, Dollar Index gained during the week. Is this supposed to happen? The Dollar is starting to look weak, see my brief analysis below.
U.S. Dollar Index - The following is just a brief view of the U.S. $ Index and intended to highlight a feature that I think is warning us of problems ahead for this currency.
