Gold between glimmer and glitter

1. Gold referendum of Swiss National Bank " 30 November 2014
If there is a yes vote ( which will mean that SNB has to buy gold)  then SNB may stagger purchases. The impact of an SNB purchase (if at all there is a yes vote) may not be so impacting on the gold prices.

2. ECB might set out on quantitative easing a la the Fed. However, inflation has not reared its head and so gold may not be so much needed as a hedge.

3. Japanese have decided to restart 2 nuclear reactors and hence price of uranium has started to move up. So precious metal investors have another market to buy.
