COMEX FUTURES REPORT – trade prepare for December FOMC.
Gold has fallen so far this year. A US interest rate hike has been the sole factor for gold’s demise this year. The Federal Reserve will in almost all certainty raise interest rates in December. Investment demand for gold has been negative this year. In the first half of 2016, the pace of US interest rate hikes will be one of the main factors to watch. The pace of US interest rate hikes will be dictated by (a) Monthly employment numbers (b) Direction of US economy. In 2016 Middle East risk and geopolitical risk have an impact only if they lead to a war between NATO and Russia. The progress of the Islamic state will not have any impact on currency markets and commodity markets as we know that they are supported by NATO.
In the second half of 2016, the great US election show will affect metals markets and currency markets. Skeptics say that the Chinese economy will see another flop year in 2016. A flop Chinese economy will also be a flop show for industrial metals, silver and gold. I have a different view. The measures taken by the Chinese government to restart higher economic growth this year will start bearing fruit next year. Industrial metals and silver and gold will see a long term bottom by June 2016. However it will be difficult to judge the short term pace of rise and pace of fall in metals and energies for the next twelve months.
A new invention suggests that gold could be used to generate solar electricity. Transparent glass windows in the future will be using gold to generate solar electricity. These gold based transparent glass windows will change the global concrete jungle. In the very long term gold could become an inert metal if new uses are made available to the common man. In the short term investors are made to think that gold is a rotten egg investment.
In December gold needs to trade over $1010 to prevent a big sell off. In December silver needs to trade over $1272 to prevent a big sell off.
Bottom fishers will be very active in commodity markets. They will try to look for a bottom to invest. I expect the Federal Reserve to have a hawkish tone (after December’s interest rate hike) on US interest rate direction.
