In reality, it’s the taxpayer and based on the action in gold today and in the past 3 trading days and with the $ index at a one week low, the limits of what’s being done may be tested.

Also helping to the lift the futures in the AM is the report of the big size of an Obama stimulus package that will not include tax hikes. The UK is close to unveiling a plan as is the EU.
