The week has been characterized by the interventions of the central bankers. On Wednesday the minute of the FED has been published and comes to the light the conflicting opinions inside the board of the American Central Bank respect the inflation. In fact, the components of the federal Committee of the open market have expressed some doubts about the fact that the low rate of inflationary growth is not only a temporary phenomenon but, contrarily, a phenomenon of long duration that could persist more than the expectation. The prudent behavior of the FED has been seen by the markets as a sign of indecision and uncertainty: this have put the dollar under pressure recording from the Bloomberg dollar index the fifth consecutive session in red. The euro has been the one who profit mostly from this situation concerning the weakness of the dollar and has grown till touching quota 1.189 helped by the fact that the smaller fears on the independence of the Catalogna are going to turn off.

Thursday has been the turn of the European Central Bank. The number one Mario Draghi said that he is satisfied of the easy-going monetary politics till now pursued by the institute of Frankfurt and has reassured the markets promising that the rates of interest will remain at today's levels for a lot of time. Draghi, that has spoked at the Peterson Institute of Washington in occasion of the autumn meeting of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, have affirmed that the positive effects brought by the quantitative easing have been more positive than the negative ones . The only negative things are the salaries, which growth is not as expected.

Such movement has been enough to puncture the descending channel in which the metal was inserted in the last four weeks. The principal driver still the dollar and, accordingly, the future movements of the FED concerning the rates of interest. On the political front, the phase of stalemate that are currently crossing the bargaining among United Kingdom and Europe on the Brexit seem to be a valid driver for the purchases.
