Gold is marginally higher in US dollars while silver has risen by nearly 1% in all major currencies this morning. Risk appetite remains highs as seen in higher Asian and European bourses today. The US, Hong Kong and New Zealand dollar are weaker as are Australian and German government bonds (which rose 6 basis points and 4 basis points to 5.51% and 2.96% respectively).

 

The rise in 6 and 4 basis point will lead to decrease in the prices of bonds don't you think? , which would eventually lead to people looking for different investment ventures like commodities?What is your view on that?
