Gold traders continued to take profits as the news from the European Union continues to leave investors bewildered. The news out of Germany continues to shake the confidence of the savviest investor. Bafin (Germany’s financial services regulator) has announced it will introduce a temporary plan to ban short selling at midnight tonight…The ban will apply to naked short selling and naked credit default swaps of Euro region government bonds starting at midnight tonight and in effect until March 31st ,2011.
There is certainly a new wrinkle every day. The gold has been a safety haven for many global investors and has been the primary fuel to the rally. However, today’s news from Bafin has investors nervously taking profits in anticipation to the reaction of the pending ban.
It certainly is a very stringent measure in hopes of supporting the Euro. They need liquidity in their region….this will reduce liquidity as market makers will be forced out…..
