For example: The move this morning at 8:30, what caused it? Bonds were up, the yen was up against the USD, but why did Gold decide to just spike $10 and not have a nice gradual move like the other ones.
 
Over the long run (3 months+), gold has a fairly stable correlation with oil and silver. In the short term (like within a day), it's much more susceptible to news shocks, noise, and other idiosyncrasies.

this means that next week if its not announced - look out below
