GOLD: Gold is higher in Asia, the yellow metal last up $1.37 at $1,286.45. Gold
started the session higher on Thursday at $1291, close to Wednesday's high after
comments from Trump in Arizona caused buyers to run for safety.
- USD and gold are currently both flat after extremely quiet sessions ahead of
Jackson Hole. 
- Trading of gold seems very patient and subdued ahead of the Jackson Hole event
tomorrow as Feds George and Kaplan reinstated their hawkish and dovish views on
inflation rates respectively. Trumps views on his own party being responsible
for the 'mess' with regards to debt ceilings hasn't affected gold as much as
you'd think it would. Yellen speaks at 1000ET/1500BST, Draghi 1500ET/2000BST.
- MNI technical analysis sees support at $1284.4 - Low Aug 24, resistance is
