GOLD: ### The precious metal continues to feel pressure following hawkish
comments from the Fed's Yellen. Initially the dollar was leading gold however
traders are now saying that has switched as investors have been caught off guard
by the move today. 
- The demand for gold after the North Korean missile test yesterday evening has
been somewhat of a surprise, an even bigger surprise has been that gold fell to
an intra-day low of $1282.12 with very little pullback.
- Traders have noted that the precious metal felt very uncomfortable close to
the $1300 psychological level, where solid resistance has been reported and
perhaps Bitcoin is better favored as a safe haven, with the cyber currency
printing record highs of $11,434.00 before fading.
