As marketmen observed a soaring dollar and retreating crude-oil prices, the realization set in that it may perhaps become difficult to achieve even a $600 price for the gold contract for 2006. The almost complete lack of emotional reactive power to the unfolding North Korean nuclear drama cast a dark shadow on gold as a safe haven. Traders are beginning to wonder just what it is that gold will react to anymore.
