Overnight

Indicators Released Overnight 

Focus overnight was on the poor GDP numbers from France, Germany and the EU as a whole. The ECB cut further as expected and they're well behind the curve now. Rates following the economy down is a symptom of a reactive (clueless) central bank. Their currency is in peril.

In the background Gold hit an all time high amongst rumours that the Bank of England can't fulfil it's obligations to entities withdrawing Gold to Comex. Apart from Gold being a monetary hedge, the potential tariffs on Mexico and Canada of 25%, have forced future buyers and those short paper Gold to pull the trigger early.

Markets are now having to deal with a FED and a President at war. The move in Gold is for a number of reasons but one of them is investors taking first moves to secure themselves from a monetary - fiscal war in the US.
