Global equity markets as well as gold and silver may have bottomed out as the US dollar once again weakens.I had mentioned yesterday that US dollar’s gains is nothing but a mere pullback which is what happened. The US dollar is in medium term secular weakness and that such gains is a part and parcel of the same. Investors shrugged off credit woes in a German firm as equities closed higher. One more thing which I have observed is that the sub prime losses has resulted in some of the small hedge funds are being sold to big fish. This may be short term negative and long term positive for stocks. Corporate credit companies will wash in the blood in a few months time and should come back with a will all the fury soon. However investors will be more vigilant this time.
At the moment there are no major news which suggest that global economic growth is slowing.Crude oil prices have a lagging effect. Crude oil prices will affect global growth in the first quarter of 2008. August is traditionally a month when trading volumes fall. There are no major central bank meetings in August except the bank of Japan. Interest rate certainty is there. High yielding currencies will once again attract higher demand. The sub prime mess could force the Fed to cut interest rates as US economy slows and crude oil induced inflation. This is a major negative factor for the greenback. If spot gold is able to hold $652 this week, it will make another attempt at $700 in August.
