Gold price crashes as Chinese offload



The gold price has fallen to its lowest in more than five years as talk of a US interest rate rise this year has led investors to sell the precious metal. The price fell 4% to as low as $1,088.05 (£697) an ounce in Asian trade - the lowest since March 2010. Investors turned to the US dollar, which rose on the likelihood of the Federal Reserve raising rates because of a stronger US economy. Investors generally buy gold during times of uncertainty. Monday was the first time the metal has traded below the key threshold level of $1,100 since 26 March 2010. July 20; http://www.bbc.com/news/business-33590480






The crash in gold started today at the Shanghai Gold Exchange. A chart for the Sun’s entry into Cancer at Shanghai is shown here. The Sun makes a hard aspect to the conjunction of Venus-Jupiter in Leo, the sign ruling gold, in the 5th house linked to speculation. Among events connected to  the stars that form the backdrop to Venus-Jupiter, Diana Rosenberg includes, “the collapse of extreme speculations” and gives the following examples.

There was a solar eclipse here in 1636, three months before the collapse of the “Tulip Mania” that had held Holland in thrall from 1634, with wild outrageously high prices for bulbs, and a solar eclipse in 1720 one month before the collapse of the “South Sea Bubble” speculation mania that caused financial collapse and utter ruin to thousands. Mars in Scorpio, squared these stars at the 1929 Stock Market crash.






Progressing the Cancer Ingress chart to July 20, the date of the gold crash, brings Venus-Jupiter to the IC triggering the event.
