Grady says that any talk of another round of easing aka QE3 could keep interest rates low and put a fire under the price of gold adding, the growing number of "shorts" in August MCX gold futures means that any turn to the upside could be “fast and furious."

Barclays commodities analyst Suki Cooper paints a similar picture and writes,"Although our base case is for Greece to remain within the EUR, the strength of the USD has further hindered gold as it behaves in line with risky assets and US treasuries benefit instead.
