Good News From US Gold Price USD1,000 Remain Strong

Yesterday sees the release of the initial jobless claims and continuing claims data in the US - lagging indicators which show that the US economy is indeed recovering. The market expects another decline in jobless claims - albeit only a small 10K fall. Meanwhile, US Treasury yields are rising steadily again, with the 10y yields just below 3.50%. Equities are also finding good support. On top of this, the futures market still expects monetary tightening in the US only by Q2:10 indicating that liquidity should remain adequate (currently the options market is pricing a rise of 25bp in Q1:10).

















For gold, resistance to a sustainable move above USD1,000 remains strong. Gold has slipped to the mid-USD980’s yesterday after failing to move higher. What makes the resistance even more remarkable is that gold has failed to move higher despite the dollar falling almost 1% against the euro yesterday.

However, the positive sign is that gold is also finding good support in the mid-USD980’s. While the recent move might have been to much to fast, most of the report maintain that gold could move closer towards USD1,100 as we head towards the end of the year and also expect more weakness in the dollar.

While gold is building resistance against dollar weakness at the moment so Gold price likely support at USD990 and USD983, and resistance at USD1,004 and USD1,015. For Malaysia if USD value drop the profit of gold sale in RM will drop.

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
