Gold fair value estimated

















The gold price has climbed higher in Q3:09 and early Q4:09 supported mainly by a weaker US dollar and through increased ETF investment holdings. On the investment side, holdings by
the SPDR Gold Trust ETF have increased 0.4% w/w to 1,098 metric tonnes.

Despite being positive for gold, the rate of increase in gold investment holdings is relatively slow. This perhaps suggests that weak global fabrication demand and low Asian physical demand
are starting to impact on sentiment after all. Although increased Indian physical gold demand has seen the domestic Indian gold price trade at a USD0.30/oz to USD0.40/oz premium to London, ahead of the Diwali festival, physical gold is still trading at a discount in most other locations in the Asia- Pacific region.

Of note, the 1-week rolling correlation between spot gold and oil has contracted from 91% on Friday to 25% last week. Gold’s rolling correlation with the NewEdge CTA index, which most of the report use to proxy investment flows, has also fallen from 73% on Friday to 12% last week. The rolling correlation between the trade weighted US dollar and spot gold price has increased from –66%, on Friday, to –91%. Most of the investor believe increased importance of the US dollar and reduced influence of oil and investment flows could increase short-term gold price volatility.

Base on Standard Bank report, fair value estimate for the gold price, which is a short-term 1-month outlook, has increased 4.7% m/m to $993/oz in October. On that basis, plus given the fact that physical demand is weak, they see the potential for a short-term correction in the spot gold price from last week levels of over $1,020/oz. They caution however, that with the dollar remaining the dominant force driving prices, gold’s relationship to its fundamentals remains very much at arm’s length.

















Malaysia Gold price also bounds up high and hits RM116 per gram before turn down. Base on the chart Malaysia gold price may hits news high in this month so this is the time to get profit.

Gold edges up on weaker dollar, dovish U.S. Fed policy bets

Image
 Gold edged higher on Monday, helped by a weaker dollar and expectations that the U.S. Federal Reserve will reiterate its dovish monetary policy stance this week. Spot gold was up by 0.1% at $1,943.58 per ounce. U.S. gold futures rose 0.1% to $1,950.10 per ounce. “Gold is firm on the basis that the Fed could adopt a further dovish message with respect to average inflation targeting,” said Michael Hewson, chief market analyst at CMC Markets UK. “If you want to have a policy of average inflation targeting, you’re going to have to go into detail as to how you are going to arrive at that particular outcome.” The dollar retreated on Mond ay, bolstering gold’s appeal for investors holding other currencies, ahead of the Fed’s policy decision due on Wednesday. “If inflation forecasts remain at 2% or below, this could offer gold a tailwind as the zero-yielding metal thrives in a low-interest rate environment,” said FXTM analyst Lukman Otunuga. Market participants are also waiting

Gold Price Futures (GC) Technical Analysis – Trader Reaction to Minor 50% Level at $1954.80 Sets the Tone

Image
  Gold futures closed lower on Thursday but up from its low of the session as investors battled a number of factors including U.S. economic data and outside market influences. Earlier in the session, gold fell over 1%, as positive economic data elevated hopes for a quick recovery while dampening the investment appeal of the precious metal. On Thursday, December Comex gold futures settled at $1937.40, down $11.60 or -0.60%. On the data front, a drop in U.S. jobless claims reported Thursday and positive manufacturing data reported earlier in the week are taking some shine off gold. A weaker Euro is also weighing on dollar-denominated gold by driving up thU.S. Dollar Index. U.S. weekly jobless claims fell below 1 million last week for the second time since the pandemic started, but did not signal a strong recovery in the labor market because the drop largely reflected a change in the methodology used to address seasonal fluctuations in data. Earlier in the week, a report s
