Gold Support Begins below 1750Daily Bars Prepared by Jamie Saettele, CMT
Gold has reached the long cited 1755 objective and may be in for several sessions of much needed consolidation. A return to the Fed low at 1715 could (depending on what path price takes to get there) present an opportunity to buy the dip against 1645. As mentioned last week, “the huge volume and large range is consistent with the beginning of some consolidation before the continuation of the advance.”

Last Updated : 17 September 2012 at 12:15 IST Gold is extremely bullish, target $1791, 1803: Barclays Source :Commodity Online LONDON (Commodity Online): Gold breached $1750 an ounce as the much awaited catalyst helped make the precious market buoyant wiht physically backed gold exchange traded fund (ETP) holdings hitting another record high, according to a report by Barclays Capital. Importantly alongside the investor-led rally, physical demand has also picked up significantly in India and China with buying into the recent rally, indicating growing expectations of higher prices. Price forecast: Q3 12: $1665/oz 2012 annual average: $1672/oz Gold ETP holdings made fresh new highs this week, adding 15.8 tonnes over the past week and reached 2517.3 tonnes by Friday. Monthly flow so far has reached 27 tonnes taking YTD inflow to 143 tonnes. The pick up in longer-term “sticky” interest alongside the move up in prices lends support to gold extending its gains. The most recent CFTC data showed gold’s non-commercial positions climbed to the highest since February of this year. Net speculative length added 11.6 klots with long positions gaining 9.5 klots, while short positions fell by 2.1 klots. Net speculative length as a percentage of open interests has climbed to 40%. Physical demand in China is also showing considerable signs of improvement. Shanghai Gold Exchange trading volume rose by more than 30% on the week on Friday and reached the highest level since mid-August surpassing the annual and monthly daily average. China’s July gold imports from Hong Kong reached 75.84 tonnes, almost 50% higher y/y. |

Gold hovers near highest in almost 7 months after Fed* Gold still eyes $1,785-$1,796-technicals * Physical market notes selling as prices rise * Coming Up: Euro zone Eurostat trade for July 0900 GMT By Lewa Pardomuan SINGAPORE, Sept 17 (Reuters) - Gold firmed on Monday, holding near an almost seven-month high, as the U.S. Federal Reserve's latest stimulus move to spur the economy led to a rush for bullion -- a traditional hedge against inflation. Gold, which has risen for the last four weeks, could breach this year's peak around $1,790 an ounce as the United States prints more money to buy assets, driving up the outlook for inflation and weighing on the dollar. Gold added $4.03 an ounce to $1,773.49 by 0621 GMT after rising as high as $1,777.51 on Friday, its highest since late February when it hit this year's peak. Gold rallied to a record around $1,920 in September last year. " Gold is still pretty bullish this week. I think gold prices will remain firm and probably test the high set in February," Lynette Tan, an analyst at Phillip Futures in Singapore. " Buyers are still buying gold, but it seems that profit taking may occur later." Reuters poll showed the Fed will buy a total of $600 billion of bonds under its new stimulus program, known as quantitative easing or QE3, and will look for a U.S. unemployment rate of 7 percent before it halts the programme. " We believe the macroeconomic environment for gold is turning more constructive. While flow into physically backed gold ETF stalled earlier this year, the purchase of gold by central banks accelerated," Deutsche Bank said in a report. " We expect that the growth in supply of fiat currencies are an important driver, the low interest rate environment is likely to continue to enhance gold's attractiveness given the negligible opportunity cost." Fiat currencies are government-issued and their value is based on the issuer's guarantee to pay the face amount on demand. U.S. gold for December rose $3.20 to $1,775.90 an ounce as the dollar languished near a seven-month trough versus a basket of major currencies. The dollar index stood at 78.802, having fallen as far as 78.601 on Friday, a level unseen since late February. It has shed some 6 percent from a two-year high of 84.100 in July. A softer dollar makes commodities priced in the greenback cheaper for holders of other currencies. Silver tracked gold higher and held near its strongest since March. Platinum was near multi-month highs even after Anglo American Platinum said it will resume work this week at its strike-hit Rustenburg operations. Higher prices spurred selling in the physical sector, but bullion was likely to find support at around $1,750 an ounce, dealers said. " We've seen some selling, but it's not heavy. We saw early selling from the Middle East this morning, but Thailand and Indonesia are a bit quiet," said a dealer in Singapore. " Premiums are still at 20 to 40 cents. You can't go cheaper than this because the premiums are already low. But we expect more selling this week. Thailand may be selling more gold scraps." In main consumer India, demand picked up last week as jewellers and investors scaled up purchases before prices rose further during the festive season, which peaks in November with Diwali, the Hindu festival of lights. In other markets, MSCI's broadest index of Asia Pacific shares outside Japan crept up 0.3 percent, having reached its highest level since early May earlier in the session, while Brent crude rose for the eighth consecutive session to just below $117 a barrel. |

Last Updated : 15 September 2012 at 18:35 IST Gold is turning more bullish on macroeconomic environment: Deutsche Bank NEW YORK (Commodity Online): Some selling could set into bold after a bounce following more Federal Reserve easing, but nevertheless remains upbeat about the longer term, said Deutsche Bank in a commodity snippet. While there were expectations for more quantitative easing, the Fed action Thursday modestly exceeded these. “We expect that the gold market will remain reasonably well supported, however, there may be some selling pressure once the market has digested the news and as it looks towards the next catalyst, which could come from China in our view,” the German bank noted. So far, China has been more restrained than expected in announcing more stimulus, but they looks for the country to follow the Fed’s lead. “Overall, we believe that the macroeconomic environment for gold is turning more positive and the gold market will continue to respond positively to further central bank activity,” the bank said. “We believe that the growth in supply of fiat currencies such as the USD (and dollar-linked currencies such as RMB) are an important key driver, followed by concerns regarding inflation and inflation volatility which could follow,” the continued. |

Gold posts second day of gains after Fed stimulus * Bullion's four-week rally first since January
* Gold could see resistance at major highs $1,790, 1,802
* S.African mine labor strife adds support to platinum
* Coming up: U.S. New York State manufacturing index Monday
By Frank Tang
NEW YORK, Sept 14 (Reuters) - Gold edged up on Friday,
extending the previous session's 2 percent rally to hit a
six-month high after the U.S. Federal Reserve unleashed another
round of bullion-friendly stimulus.
Platinum group metals gained sharply on supply worries due to unrest among South African miners and a better demand outlook a day after the Fed pledged to pump $40 billion monthly into the U.S. economy until it saw a sustained upturn in the jobs market. Investors looking to gold as a traditional inflation hedge against monetary stimulus by central banks around the world pushed bullion up for a fourth straight week for the first time since January. " For gold prices to have extended gains even further, without the usual 'buy the rumor, sell the fact' pullback, is impressive," said James Steel, metals analyst at HSBC. Steel said that gold's rally is likely to be sustained by the open-ended nature of the Fed's latest bond-buying program. Spot gold was up 0.2 percent to $1,770.20 an ounce by 3:04 p.m. (1904 GMT) after climbing to an intraday high of $1,777.51, its loftiest since Feb. 29. U.S. COMEX gold futures for December delivery settled up 60 cents at $1,772.70 an ounce, with trading volume higher than average for a second straight day, preliminary Reuters data showed. Sentiment in COMEX gold options was positive for a second
straight day, and funds have been buying gold call options and
other bullish plays throughout the session, said COMEX gold
options floor trader Jonathan Jossen.
OUTLOOK MIXED Analysts differed on whether gold could keep up the blistering rally. " When multiple major central banks are coordinating their effort in printing more money and engaging in stimulus measures, that has to be overtly bullish for gold," said Adam Sarhan, chief executive of Sarhan Capital. The European Central Bank has unveiled an aggressive plan to tackle the three-year old euro zone debt crisis, while China's Premier Wen Jiabao said this week the government could utilize a massive fiscal stability fund to boost growth. UBS gold strategist Edel Tully said that gold is due to encounter stiff resistance at an area between $1,790 and $1,803, the metal's highs from February and November. Reuters data shows asset performance has tended to diminish
with each new round of quantitative easing, or QE, from the Fed,
and that it sometimes takes as long as a year for the effects of
Fed action to kick in.
Among other precious metals, silver was down 0.2
percent at $34.58 an ounce. Platinum gained 1.7 percent
to $1,705.25, while palladium was up 1.5 percent at
$693.97 an ounce.
Platinum posted an 8 percent rise on the week, its biggest weekly gain since last October, due to supply fears caused by mine labor unrest in South Africa, which is estimated to own 80 percent of the world's platinum reserves. |

Saturday, September 15th 10:37 AM IST Gold gains 1.9 percent for the weekOn Friday, gold for December delivery rose 60 cents to settle at $1,772.70 an ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange, its highest in nearly seven months. NEW YORK(BullionStreet): Gold closed the week nearly two percent up, taking advantage of US Fed decision on stimulus measures. For the week, the precious yellow metal closed up 1.9 percent for the week. On Friday, gold for December delivery rose 60 cents to settle at $1,772.70 an ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange, its highest in nearly seven months. Analysts said gold continued to benefit a day after Federal Reserve chief Ben Bernanke unleashed a program to buy $40 bln of assets per month until the U.S. economy shows clear signs of recovery. The central bank extended the ultra low federal funds rate through at least mid-2015 and said it will keep " Operation Twist" in place. This policy consists of swapping short-dated securities for longer-term securities, as well as reinvesting the proceeds of maturing securities, so the central bank will be adding $85 billion of long-term securities each month through the end of the year. |
