The Dow fell as far as it could possibly do without reversing the trend on a long-term basis even technically. The low this week has been 15370.33. This has flirted with our Third Monthly Bearish Reversal at 15550, but we have also a simple technical point of great importance – 15284. That happens to be last year’s low.

GoldCore, which buys and sells bullion, reported coin and bar demand increased “significantly” on Monday. Sales to U.K. and Ireland today are about three times the average level for the past three Mondays, according to an e-mailed statement from the Dublin-based firm.

BullionVault, which operates the largest online physical gold trading platform, reported a jump in sales during the first half of this year, a sign of a broader increase.
