Excerpt from the article

"Although gold has had a great run in the past decade, much of it has come in response to the uncertain times unleashed by the global financial crisis, and the liquidity injections and rate cuts in the central bank actions that followed.

The fact that gold did not react positively to QE3 reflects the view that the US economy is recovering. As it picks up, the likelihood of another round of quantitative easing decreases. Already in the minutes of the US Fed meeting held in December last year, discussion has begun about winding down QE3."
