If the US rescue policy is successful, then the US monetary policy will make the US dollar continue to strengthen, and all commodity futures, including gold, will continue to fall, ending the bull market pattern last year.
On the other hand, if the rescue is unsuccessful, the dominance and foundation of the US dollar will be seriously shaken, and the whole world will abandon the US dollar, leading to global economic turmoil, so all commodity futures will rise.
In a word, 2008 was an eventful year. No matter what the outcome of this financial crisis is, it will bring more opportunities to the futures market!
