Shares of New Century Financial were suspended for trading, raising concerns that the company may have no choice but to file for bankruptcy.The problem in the sub-prime lending sector is worsening and run the risk of impacting the US housing market as a whole.US housing inventory is at a three months high, suggesting prices could fall. In addition to New Century Financial, Halliburton also announced that it will be moving its corporate headquarters from Houston to Dubai.Not only will it shave hundreds of millions of dollars from tax revenue, but the economic and political consequences of their move could bring out old concerns of the twin deficits and protectionism. These are just very positive development for the silver and gold markets as more and more investors will be forced to increase their investments in precious metals market.
There are concerns that Japanese investment in US housing market may decline which could increase lower price pressure on US housing market. The firmness in base metals suggests that global economic growth will remain robust with Chinese slowdown (if any) being the only negative factor. Higher global growth implies greater demand for gold and silver and demand exceeding supplies.
