Greece Lightning – Gold Struck: Greece is big news again this week as talks are getting\u00a0closer to making a deal, but not everyone is convinced. The picture from the\u00a0Greeks is promising and positive, the European view is not as forgiving. With\u00a0three payments due in the very near future, the fear is that they will not\u00a0secure sufficient aid in time to avoid defaulting.<\/p>\n

This uncertainty has resulted in a steadying of the gold\u00a0price with the dollar strength capping gains. It was suggested that a long-term\u00a0base was being formed to hopefully pave the way for the next bull leg. Good\u00a0underlying support for gold is expected by industry analysts despite the\u00a0popularity of current record setting equities and the Eurozone fears.<\/p>\n

Platinum is also in the spotlight this week with Impala\u00a0Platinum doing a 180 on its Marula mine sale, instead forecasting increased\u00a0output with positive long term goals of high production to meet market demand.<\/p>\n

Offers for the Implats mine were falling drastically short of the expected\u00a0price tag, a situation that analysts had predicted due to the unusual timing of\u00a0the sale. Many analysts deny this news has contributed to the recent dip in
\nplatinum prices with many expecting fresh trading and physical demand in the\u00a0near future.<\/p>\n
