(Kitco News) It’s been a very busy data week for the markets. The Federal Reserve announced tapering of its asset purchases and the U.S. economy added more than 500,000 jobs in October.
Gold is finally starting to react — surging $25 on Friday and rising well above the $1,800 an ounce level. Markets now seem to be pricing in a more patient Federal Reserve going forward.
