Gold and silver are higher after the Fed meeting and should once again start the bull run to test the may highs over the coming week. The fed they said that any further policy moves would be dependent upon the outlook for both inflation and economic growth. Its also acknowledged that higher rates were affecting growth. The US dollar slumped after the announcement. Crude oil prices are nearing $75.00 a barrel ahead of the US Independence Day vacations.
Where are we headed? All the incoming economic numbers will be scrutinized by the markets with signs of further slowdown in US economy. Inflation will rise despite any slowdown in US retail demand. The European central bank is expected to raise interest rates by a quarter of percentage in August. It’s just the interest rates differential that is supporting the US dollar and if it narrows the slump in the US dollar will continue. Euro should target 1.30-1.32 is the July to September quarter. Crude oil prices will float over $70.00 and target $84.00 as the US hurricane season has begun. Iranian and other geopolitical risk are also not over which will support crude oil prices.
Gold and silver will try to near and break the May’s high of $730.00 and $1550 in July to September quarter. The bullish factors are a weaker US dollar, higher crude oil prices, higher physical demand as traders now start to build up their inventory, geopolitical risk. Shrinkage in global liquidity has now factored in by the markets so I do not consider it as a bearish factor. Only a sustained US dollar gain and interest rates hikes by the bank of Japan and Chinese central bank scan result in losses in gold and silver else June’s low in gold and silver could well be bottom for the rest of 2006.
It’s a long weekend and traders will rather go long than short. Event risk is over and the movement will be technical. Technical factors are portraying a bullish divergence.
