Gold-price up at $273 currently!...talk of option expiry today strike $269.. shortcovering from yesterdays auction day carried over into asia and more so into early europe, 269 triggered first stops, 270 was resistance first and 2nd time up there, but more fund buying and a big lack of producer selling let the mkt continue to rise. all signs look good and markets turns rather bullish on it.targeting $274 and $275
