GENERAL MARKET CONDITIONS/FUNDAMENTAL FACTOR
Interest rate cuts are always bullish for precious metals. Federal Reserve Chairman Bernanke signaled that the Fed is ready to lower interest rates as the credit freeze poses an escalating danger to the US economy. The world financial system is under ``extraordinary stress'' and history shows that severe instability ``can take a heavy toll on the broader economy if left unchecked,'' Bernanke said in a speech in Washington. ``The Federal Reserve will need to consider whether the current stance of policy remains appropriate.'' This is a clear signal that the Federal Reserve may cut interest rates even before the scheduled meeting on 29th October, 2008. There is speculation that bank of England may cut interest rates half a percentage tomorrow.
Fed said that it would buy short-term debt from banks and corporations in an unprecedented attempt to unfreeze money markets. The Fed is trying to buy everything. How will it continue to buy crap debt from the money markets?
Commonwealth Bank of Australia, Australia’s biggest provider of mortgages, agreed to buy HBOS Plc's Australian units for A$2.1 billion ($1.5 billion) as the troubled U.K. bank sells assets amid the global credit crisis. Credit woes spreading to Australia has justified Australian central bank’s one percent interest rate cut.
COMEX GOLD DECEMBER
