Gold had recently been trending down right before the July 4th holiday but today moved higher in volatile trading getting a boost as downbeat U.S. economic data and North Korea’s ballistic missile test drew investor interest to the precious metal. North Korea on Tuesday said it successfully test-launched an intercontinental ballistic missile, or ICBM, claiming a major advance in its attempt to threaten the U.S. with a nuclear-tipped weapon. This was done primarily to fall on the July 4th holiday and also comes after US and South Korean prepare for the G-20 in Europe. http://www.marketwatch.com/story/gold-given-light-boost-on-north-korea-angst-but-fed-uncertainty-persists-2017-07-05
The old adage buy the dips is calling out to me and would be a perfect time to buy some gold if nothing else but for some added insurance to your financial plan.
