GENERAL MARKET CONDITIONS/FUNDAMENTAL FACTOR
The Bush administration sought unchecked power from Congress to buy $700 billion in bad mortgage investments from financial companies in what would be an unprecedented government intrusion into the markets. Through his plan, Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson aims to avert a credit freeze that would bring the financial system and the world's largest economy to a standstill. The bill would prevent courts from reviewing actions taken under its authority. Basically the fed wants dictatorial power which can be misused and may backfire. Its also reflects the crisis the US is in and that over the past few years the world was shown a wrong image of financial stability in the USA. If these powers are conferred on the Fed then the effects will be felt after a period of six to eight months on the US economy. By then the USA will have a new president. We are bearish on the US dollar in the short term and bullish on the US dollar in the medium term. Same with gold and silver.
It will be a volatile week in the making. The US dollar will be the key to every move in commodity markets. Whether the US dollar will fall at the pace we had seen in the first quarter, I have my doubts. But certainly I am bearish in the US dollar this week as well in the short term. Medium term bullishness for the US dollar remains intact.
TODAY
We prefer to remain on the sidelines and buy on sharp dips as well as sell on rise.
COMEX GOLD DECEMBER
Gold has to break 100 day MA of $892 for $927-$950 zone. On the lower side sellers will emerge only on a consolidated fall below $848 and $830.
