GENERAL MARKET CONDITIONS
Physical gold demand in India at the current prices is not that spectacular. The retail investors believe that gold prices can fall anytime as they have memories of the fall from $730 to $550. But this time the market semantics are different. They are partly right as it remains to be seen how long can crude oil float over $80.0 a barrel without affecting growth and how long can central banks let their currency gains without affecting growth. However if gold prices stay at the current levels this week, demand will start once again. Last week I was speaking to some of the physical gold traders in Ahmedabad, they told me they were maintain a low inventory levels and that they will increase their gold inventory as and when prices fall near INR 9400/- per tonne grams.
We are living in a world of excess liquidity and paper assets. The Fed by cutting interest rates revived the carry trade which has resulted in the US dollar falling to historical lows against some of the currencies.  European central bank, bank of Japan etc had provided liquidity in August. The central banks believe that just pumping cash into to the system they can get rid of economic woes and pave the way for higher economic growth. Flooding the markets with excess money is just a short term and hassle free means of tiding over credit and awarding the risk takers. The risk takers now know that their country’s central bank will rescue them whenever the value of their paper assets collapse. This will result in greater risk appetite and falling value of paper assets. Excess liquidity adds to inflation and with crude oil prices already at a historical high inflationary pressures are bound to be remain.To cut short, there will be a time when paper assets will burst like a volcanic eruption. This will not happen in the next three to four years.
BSE Sensex has risen from 15000 to near 19000 in less than three months. I had invested at 15000 only to exit at 18000 on the belief that the swift rise in India equity markets is a part of emerging market bubble. But now I am investing on dips on certain specific stocks for the short term with trailing stop losses as I know that that the current rise in Indian stocks could last till the end of the quarter with the help of some corrections. Now I have got used the prices. There are a lot of retail investors who will get used to higher prices. This time the higher price of gold. Gold at INR 8800 is history for the next three to six months. Even I get a price of INR 9200 and below I will be happy and buy my needs to physical gold. I had brought my requirements at INR 8800/- and just wish I had invested more.
Precious metals are showing no signs of retracement. Markets will be looking forward to the G7 meeting this weekend on comments of a stronger Euro from ECB officials.
