The Markets:
Charts Courtesy of http://finance.yahoo.com/
Oil rose over 3% on strong economic data in China and the US that kept hopes high for increasing demand.
The U.S. dollar index and treasuries fell while the Dow, Nasdaq, and S&P surged about 3% higher on growing confidence over the economy.
Among the big names making news in the market today were General Motors, Deere, Prudential, Chrysler, Travelers, and Cisco.
The Commentary:
“The long consolidation of the gold price over the last year or so appears to have been completed. At $930 we suddenly saw short-term speculators, driven by the Technical [chart] picture and the buckling of the $, jump in boots an' all. They bought and bought over the last three weeks adding enormously [50 tonnes and more] to the net long-term speculative position in gold and silver on COMEX.
As we approach the four figure barrier [$1,000] we have no doubt that these short-term players will pause again and then the big question has to be asked. "Will gold break up and out to higher levels in a new bull phase, or will it tumble back to $850 as some believe?" Silver will follow gold in a more dramatic way.
Long-term investors have openly been small buyers of late and they are the ones that really have driven these markets. They are more than capable of buying 100 tonnes a month should they believe that the long-term macro-economic and currency scene warrants it. They hold over 1,300 tonnes at present, a quantity that is larger than Switzerland's holdings and are the fifth largest holders of gold after the four largest central bank holdings of gold. If they perceive that the levels of uncertainty and soundness of the monetary system are suspect, then gold will evolve back into a role it has not seen for 35 years but was part of the fabric of life for the previous 6,000 years.
If they believe that a recovery will help us all to 'live happily ever after' then they will hold back and the gold price will drop back to $850 or less.
Gold is like the thermometer in an ailing patient and the question is, "Will a real recovery take place" or "is the sickness incurable?"
Silver is the long-shadow of gold and was expected to outperform gold and has with its rise of 26% in the last month. Gold has reflected the fall in the U.S.$ with its 10% rise. However, silver as the 'poor man's gold' still promises a better run than gold due to the weight of investment it is attracting, in the west through the Silver Trust [SLV] and in India. If that continues and 'official selling' of silver stops there is little to refrain the silver price. However, it will be volatile, very volatile, so it needs to be watched carefully, very carefully.
Which way will they go now? The answer lies in the answer to the question, "have the monetary authorities repaired the monetary system properly?”- Julian D.W. Phillips, www.goldforecaster.com
“Dear CIGAs,
Today investors have rewarded failure by goosing equities over 200 points. Bankruptcy is failure no matter how it is spun. The new means of bankruptcy in screwing the bond holders therefore has to be considered as having punished production.
There has never been nor ever will be a society that can survive in leadership with that approach.
The entire mass of money bunny glee assumes that car sales will be no less than holding the 10,000,000 level after bankruptcy.
I am sure all government buying of vehicles will take place the month after GM and Chrysler come out of bankruptcy.
If car buying craters after that, as President Obama said today - what is good for GM is good for the USA. The other side of that is what kills the Second Coming of GM and Chrysler will tank the US dollar as the common share of the USA.
This is going to be a cold, hard winter.”- Jim Sinclair, JSMineset.com
“Dear CIGAs,
Once again the big news in today’s trading is the action in the Dollar and the US bond market. The carnage continues in the bond market with prices absolutely in free fall as support levels from Friday’s session were obliterated as wave after wave of selling flooded into the pits. Watching this debacle unfold in front of us, I cannot help to shudder at the effect these soaring interest rates are going to have on all those supposed “green shoots” that are sprouting up. To me it looks like a case of Round Up being sprayed on all of them. After all, what exactly are consumers supposed to think when they see prices of tangibles shooting higher (gasoline, food, hardware, etc.) while interest rates on loans of any kind are moving higher at the exact same time? Just how can rising interest rates in an environment in which so many are either unemployed or underemployed be beneficial to any recovery? Maybe all those folks associated with the struggling auto industry in some form, shape or fashion will rush out and immediately buy new houses or new plasma TV’s to lock in some nice “LOW” rates before they go even higher… Don’t hold your breath waiting for that to occur.
Against this backdrop, crude oil is moving ever so slowly closer to $70 barrel, with unleaded gasoline over $1.90 at the wholesale level over at Nymex. Wheat is closing in on $7.00 bushel while soybeans just topped the $12.00 mark. Platinum is over $1200. Even lumber managed to move higher today although that one is somewhat suspect as far as I am concerned. Still, you can get the point – commodity prices are shooting inexorably higher as the Dollar drops further and further. While the price cappers were intent on pushing gold back away from the $990 level, they are spitting into the eye of a hurricane with the relentless rise in the entire commodity complex and the implosion in the bond market.
Over on the currency front, the only majors that were down against the greenback today were the Japanese Yen and the Swiss Franc. Both are being used by the carry trade as risk comes back with a vengeance. The Yen in particular was hit hard dropping over 150 points. The Dollar dropped below the 100 WEEK moving average at one point during today’s trading session but has managed to claw its way back to that level for now. It is so oversold that some guys are looking for a bounce although such a bounce will not last long as its technical picture is horrendous. There is a swing low on the weekly chart that was made back in December of last year that corresponds very closely to today’s session low. Should that level give way in the immediate future, the Dollar is going to drop rapidly down towards the 76 level. Below that is major, major support near 72. If that gives way, kiss the dollar goodbye and gold goodbye to the upside.
June gold has entered into its delivery period. Thus far deliveries are not all that impressive but we will continue to watch this. The action is now centered around the August contract. Open interest remains quite low (388,000) for gold to have made it to less than $10 from the $1,000 mark especially when you consider that the last time gold was up near these levels, open interest was closer to 590,000.
With the mining shares being hit once again by the same crowd and gold running into the bullion banks’ selling barrage just shy of $1,000, long side players will need to dig in to prevent the short term oriented momentum crowd from moving out and creating some selling pressure. AS long as weakness in the Dollar continues and commodity prices are rising across the board, gold will attract dip buying on any setbacks in price.
Incidentally, copper prices are on a strong upward tear. Apparently the thinking is that the economy will be markedly improved by the latter part of the year.”- Dan Norcini, More at JSMineset.com
“August Gold closed down 0.3 at 980. This was 4.6 up from the low and 9 off the high.
July Silver finished up 0.125 at 15.735, 0.16 off the high and 0.195 up from the low.
Initially, the slide in the Dollar lifted Aug gold to the highest price level since February. Gold has been trending higher as the weak currency and spike in oil prices seem to be reviving inflation expectations amid better than expected economic reading that suggest the worst of the recession has passed. Rising investor risk appetite is leading to an influx of both fund and spec buyers into the gold as an inflation hedge. But with the Dollar trimming losses following today's scheduled economic reports, gold also gave back early gains. Given the rally in gold prices over the last month, it also looked as if part of the pull back in gold from session highs seemed to be simple technical profit taking.
July silver also made another thrust higher finding early support from Dollar weakness and reaching the highest price level since last August. With the macro economic optimism rising on signs of improvements in global manufacturing indexes, the market may also be garnering some support as a quasi industrial metal. But silver edged backed after failing near the key chart point at $16 and the bounce in the Dollar off of session lows also seemed to inspire some profit taking. However, the jump in copper prices also seemed to limit the selling interest in silver compared to gold.”- The Hightower Report, Futures Analysis and Forecasting
