Why trading gold in euros could give you a higher return

Gold traded against the euro hit a two month high this Thursday at EUR 985 / oz. However, it's falling when traded against the dollar. For Saxo Bank's Ole Hansen, it means the dollar's not the only driver in town right now.
Changing interest rate expectations and nervousness in the stock markets have recently been gold supportive. Ole says price action is likely to be driven by short-term speculation and technical decisions over the next few days. However, the Swiss gold referendum in late November is the "joker" in all this. The potential for a major upset in the gold price, and the Swiss franc, is huge and Ole's surprised this 'risk event' isn't higher on people's radar.
