Bullion's 20-day moving average (DMA) dipped below its 200 DMA on Thursday, in what technical analysts termed a "death cross," as the short-term momentum has turned more negative than long-term trend. That could show that the current downtrend is pervasive. ...</p><br clear="all"/> </b><a href="http://news.yahoo.com/golds-death-cross-signals-more-losses-coming-215431758.html;_ylc=X3oDMTEwM2tybTk5BF9TAzIyMDM4Mjc1MjMEZW1haWxJZAMxMzI1MzYxMjU4">Full Story</a></b></font>

The action comes as the company's shares have slid more than 46 percent this year because of by weak demand resulting largely from high unemployment and a depressed housing market.

<b>Reuters</b> - TORONTO (Reuters) - The Canadian dollar rallied into the end of 2011, albeit in holiday-thinned volume, heralding what many analysts believe will be a better year for the economic growth-sensitive currency in 2012. Canada was a mediocre performer among G10 currencies in 2011, down 2.2 percent after a roller-coaster second half of the year during which trade was driven by headline risk out of Europe. In 2010, the Canadian dollar had a 5.7 percent gain against the greenback. ... </b><a href="http://news.yahoo.com/loonie-track-end-volatile-2011-flat-note-151958688.html;_ylc=X3oDMTEwM2tybTk5BF9TAzIyMDM4Mjc1MjMEZW1haWxJZAMxMzI1MzYxMjU4">Full Story</a></b></font>
