Malaysia Gold Price Drop To RM104.94 Per Gram











Gold and silver are sharply lower at yesterday , influenced by a stronger dollar and weak global
equity markets. The fear that world economies are slowing and the financial crisis is still intact
has pressured most physical commodities. The energy sector seems to be a
leader on the downside, weakness is much more pronounced than other physical markets.


Gold is not the market to press, it is actually holding a range as other commodities move into
new low territory, The demand side of the market received negative news this morning with the
Finance Minister of India announced that the import duty on gold bars is being raised to 200
rupees per 10 grams from 100 rupees and the import duty for silver is also being doubled.

This is not good news for Indian physical offtake, as imports are now projected to be down 50
percent in 2009. The world economic recovery seems to be stalling and that will be an issue
for all physical commodities. Be very careful trading the long side of the metal markets, the
downside is such a quicker and faster game.

Back to Malaysia Gold price, the price move same with USD and USD gold price is there has been speculation regarding the dollar’s position as the global reserve currency and what might happen in this regard at this week’s G8 meeting. We doubt the issue of the dollar’s status as reserve currency will be raised at all during the meeting. The dollar could find some strength if this is
the case and Malaysia gold price will be up.

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.

For the gold price, two outcomes are possible.

Image
For the gold price, two outcomes are possible. First is a return to or near the April low ($1,277.40). Second is a drop to a lower low, $1,240 - $1,260. Yet a third possible outcome is that the June and December lows were not a double bottom and one further drop may come. I account that the least likely, and look for a low here by the end of the week, but I'm no more'n a nacheral born durnd fool from Tennessee, so what do I know?   You'd think that an institution charged with promoting the gold industry would produce reports that at least cast the best light on gold's prospects. You'd think wrong, if you're thinking about the World Gold Council. They've been negative on gold for, oh, the last 14 years or so. Today they issued a report that contained a nugget about Chinese business using physical gold as collateral for bank credit ($40 bn worth) but they managed to tease a gloomy forecast even out of this inventive monetary use. That and bad

The price of gold advanced as high as $1,603.40 per ounc

The gold price broke out to a new all-time high above $1,600 per ounce Monday morning, rising for the eleventh consecutive trading session. The price of gold advanced as high as $1,603.40 per ounce before backing off to trade just the $1,600 level. The yellow metal gained on the back of a surge in borrowing costs for Italy, the latest European nation to see its bond market come under heavy selling pressure. The lack of a deal to raise the $14.3 trillion debt ceiling also helped boost gold prices. The eleven-day rise in the gold price is the longest winning streak since January of 1980. The gold price delivered another noteworthy performance last week, climbing 3.2% on its way to a series of fresh record highs. With Monday’s advance, the gold price extended its monthly and year-to-date gains to 6.6% and 12.5%, respectively. Last week’s two-day Congressional testimony by Chairman Ben Bernanke on the economy and monetary policy revealed that the Fed remains open to the
