Dollar is falling fast and people are racing for commodities!

It’s a short but intense week in London. There are fewer events today than on Monday and Tuesday, as many foreign visitors leave early tomorrow. Even though today’s quieter in the conference rooms, Brent broke the $70 mark. The USD is collapsing, just don’t touch it now! It’s a broader commodities push again. Silver is leading the pack – over 6.20% up on the day trading near $86/oz, while gold is up 1.53% above $5.1k/oz.
