  • Gold price logs biggest one-day rise in 9 months; tops $1,300

    Gold price logs biggest one-day rise in 9 months; tops $1,300

    Sydney: Gold celebrated its biggest one-day rise in nine months as markets wagered policies would stay super loose in the United States, Europe and Japan for a long time to come.

    Investors piled into bullion while selling U.S. government debt on the premise the Fed might be comfortable with higher inflation if it meant faster economic growth.

    Spot gold was enjoying the view at USD 1,314.56 an ounce having climbed 3.3 percent overnight in the sharpest gain since last September.

    Traders also said a major hedge fund had cut back a large short position in the precious metal which pushed prices above USD 1,300 an ounce and tripped a host of stop-loss buy orders.

    Equities were in ebullient mood with MSCI`s all-country world index, which includes about 85 percent of global investable equities, passing its previous all-time high set in November 2007.

    Japan`s Nikkei consolidated at five-month peaks, while the broader TOPIX brought its gains to more than 10 percent in just the past four weeks.

    MSCI`s broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan was a fraction lower after rising 0.7 percent on Thursday. In Europe, the FTSEurofirst 300 index of regional shares had risen 0.6 percent to a six-year top.

    Wall Street was more circumspect, though data on jobless claims and regional U.S. manufacturing continued to show improvement. The Dow edged up 0.09 percent, while the S&P 500 gained 0.13 percent and the Nasdaq lost 0.08 percent.

    The revival in risk appetite follows Wednesday`s decision by the U.S. Federal Reserve to recommit to keeping rates near zero for some time to come.

    Crucially, Chair Janet Yellen sounded unconcerned by inflation despite a recent a pick-up in price pressure, surprising many who had thought the central bank would take a more hawkish turn.

    TAKING INFLATION PROTECTION

    “The dismissal of the recent upshift in inflation readings as `noise` was the biggest revelation,” said William O`Donnell, head of U.S. government bond strategy at RBS.

    “The Fed leadership is so unsure about the sustainability of the recovery that they are willing to wait for economic growth numbers and labour market indicators to beat them over the head before they consider removing emergency stimulus.”

    As a result the market has pushed out the day when the Fed might hike its funds rate, while also taking insurance against higher future inflation by buying gold and selling longer-dated Treasuries.

    Futures contracts that aim to map the course of the Fed funds rate again suggest no lift in rates until at least mid-2015. The June contract for next year now implies a rate of 31.5 basis points compared to 37.5 on Wednesday. Currently the funds rate is around 9 basis points.

    Investors are also demanding higher returns on long-term U.S. debt compensate for the risk of higher inflation, so steepening the yield cure.

    Yields on 30-year bonds swung up to 3.46 percent, from a low of 3.35 percent early in the week, while rates on 10-year paper reached 2.62 percent.

    In currency markets, the Norwegian crown stole the limelight by plunging over 2 percent after the country`s central bank hinted at the possibility of a cut in interest rates, stunning markets that had wagered the next move would be up.

    The dollar surged to 6.1178 crowns in its biggest one-day gain in more than a year, while yields on short-term Norwegian debt tumbled 20 basis points.

    Moves elsewhere were pedestrian in comparison, with the dollar steady on the yen at 101.90 while the euro edged up on the dollar to USD 1.3607.

    The dollar also lost ground against a basket of major currencies as the market pushed out the

    Brent was off 27 cents at USD 114.79 a barrel but that came after hitting a nine-month high above USD 115 on concerns heavy fighting in Iraq could limit oil supply from OPEC`s second-biggest producer.

    The U.S. crude oil futures contract for July added 21 cents to USD 106.64 a barrel.

  • Forecast gold prices – gold pattern for the next thirty days

    Forecast gold prices – gold pattern for the next thirty days

    Gold continued to gain against the U.S. dollar during the session on Friday and closed the week at $ 1,276.68 an ounce, the highest level since May 28. Soft economic data from the United States and the high level of violence in Iraq has helped to achieve the Gold gains nearly 2% during the week. Retail sales during the past week and consumer confidence and PPI numbers were a source of concern somewhat for the people who were expecting stronger growth. Although the data that weaker-than-expected outlook suppressed a tougher stance by the Fed, I expect that the decision-makers will be cutting back from the asset purchase program again conservatives on the practice table. Chairman of the Fed, “Janet Ill” will hold a news conference after a meeting of the FOMC meeting held on 17 and 18 June, where will the Fed officials update their expectations for growth and unemployment and inflation.

    In the meantime, developments in Iraq will continue to influence the market. Geopolitical tensions usually have an impact on gold because of the ambiguity of shares to pay down in the global financial markets and raise buying gold safe. During the month of March, prices reached Alzh to $ 1,392.04 per ounce, due to rising tensions between Ukraine and Russia (and the sanctions announced by the United States and the European Union). With this into consideration, I believe that gold investors will be watching carefully the developments in Iraq to see whether things will worsen or subside. Recent media reports show that the militias, known as the ISIL, moving toward Baghdad after control of several cities in the state. But, at this point, invite investors to be cautious. At the outset it must be remembered that the price of gold dropped down to $ 1,240 after that settled the situation in Ukraine. This means that after the absence of the fear factor and improved equity markets, it is possible that the gold is sold quickly and bring him back to $ 1,213 an ounce.

    The other thing that should be attention to him is the range deliberative of the gold market over the past months. Gold prices sandwiched between $ 1,180 and $ 1,430 during roughly the past 13 months. Price pattern on the charts for gold indicated that sentiment has turned gold (compared to the past few years) and have become more regressive. Before breaking below the support level at $ 1532, which began operations after the sale of a large survey and investor confidence in gold, the market remained in a large area of ​​consolidation for about 80 a week. As a result, investors now want to see if gold can stick to the gains before they put the biggest bets.

    There ascending triangle forming on the weekly chart is believed that it will contain prices over the next several weeks. Of course, the fate of the gold will also depend on how the Federal Reserve Bank. In the event of the upward movement was able to hack through the $ 1,286 level would be technically possible to see continuity upward toward $ 1,297 and $ 1,312. Only hard hack above $ 1,312 is possible that the upward movement gives enough strength to challenge the obstacle $ 1,352. To the bottom, there is support at an average $ 1,260 and $ 1,248. Breaking below the support level at $ 1,240 will increase the downward pressure and sends the price to $ 1,227 and then to $ 1,213.
