Not so sure the initial precipitous fall in silver had anything to do with the bin laden news, which came out quite a bit later in the session, correct? If I recall correctly silver fell within minutes of the globex session opening, most of it within only 12 minutes or so, and the BL news hit later that evening. (That is when the equity indexes soared, etc). The silver crash instead looked to me like a speculative attack on silver, perfect timing with much of the world on holiday and very thin trading, such moves often occur during these strategic windows . . .

Bin Laden's death is not so much a filip as potential for more terrorist violence from lunatics now

Buying the BinLaden Metals Dip?

May 2, 2011 01:25 ET : News of Osama Bin Laden's death led to a knee jerk reaction rally in the USD, a $13 decline in gold to $1550 and a $3.4 decline in silver to $44.50. Since it is important to realize that the recent run-up in commodities (and especially metals) has been the product of QE2 policy and the FOMC's consistently dovish remarks regarding i) muted inflation; ii) downgrading growth and iii) planning to reinvest their mortgage securities payments, the monetary policy element of metals is to remain in favour.

Today's historic news is highly symbolic rather than a game-changer in geopolitics as AlQaeda has become a decentralized organisation with various local leaders vying for that global leadership position. There is even a possibility that these potential leaders could be fighting alongside Anti-Qaddafi rebels in Libya (alongside NATO) as was the case in the aftermath of the USSR-Afghan war. Bin Ladens death could have a short-lived positive impact on the US currency, which presents fresh opportunities for bottom fishing in EURUSD and AUDUSD eyeing ininterim targets at 1.4890 (from current 1.4790) and 1.1020 (from current 1.0940).
