Yesterday’s slide in gold and silver was another opportunity to invest.Precious metals and base metals were seen tracking the equity markets. Silver had a technical breakdown as it fell below the 400 day MA which resulted in further selling and stop losses getting triggered. Copper September also fell below the 200 day MA which triggered the sell off. Gold, silver and copper still not of the woods, but in my view a short term bottom may have been formed. Energies continued to remain firm on expectations that tropical storm dean will be the first hurricane of the season.
The key driver for the financial markets have been the yen as it fell below 115.0 on continued liquidation by yen based traders. A fall below 115.0 came in as a surprise which acted as a fodder to the fire of falling markets. In July Australian centralbanks and New Zealand central banks were intervening to prevent their currency from gains. Yesterday, it was the reverse as they both were intervening to prevent their currency from losses against the US dollar. Markets semantics have changed which has forced central banks to adapt to the new circumstances. We expect yen to weaken and other carry trades currencies to gain against the US dollar and that the current levels provide an opportunity to go short on the greenback, but in small amounts.
There should be short covering rally today both in the commodity markets and currency markets which should result in a higher close for commodities and the US dollar closing weaker.
