Gertjan Vlieghe, an analyst at the Bank of England, has taken a contradictory stand on the widespread perception that gold prices can serve as a reliable indicator of future inflation.

Vlieghe, who previously served as a bond expert at Deutsche Bank AG, argues that any increase and decrease in hedge assets reflects investors’ sentiment regarding the potential for inflation.

For EOS, the $3 area is an important support level on the daily time-frame since it previously acted as resistance and has acted as support four times after.
