We all know that whilst AMA has strong assets in the ground without the gold price helping us current holders are unlikely to benefit to any great extent, but are events aligning to make gold attractive? The falling oil price is making motorists happy, but is causing some producers growing grief. The Saudi's announcing a range of revenue raising measures and then the executions perhaps to deflect attention from the economic pain, but that creating tensions with Iran. China with all sorts of unknowns about its true strength, and the wave of corruption arrests. Russia with its economic pain and anger over Turkey. You just wonder whether 2016 might just, perhaps, be a turning point upwards for gold.
