COMEX FUTURES REPORT
US January nonfarm payrolls numbers should see an upward revision next month. The number is just to ensure that the US dollar weakens. February numbers will be much higher than January (if there is no weather related disruption). There are now doubts over the next interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve. This will ensure firm bullion prices and a weaker greenback.
Emerging markets stock might cheer in the form of a stronger currency and higher stock markets. Still it is better to invest in nations and specific stock whose fundamentals are strong and/or near a long term bottom.
Chinese foreign exchange reserves has now shrunk to the lowest since 2012 to $3.23 trillion. Chinese are one the largest investors in US treasury. Chinese are only increasing their gold reserves. Obviously they are selling US bonds and also using currency swaps to intervene in their foreign exchange markets. The effect of Chinese withdrawal from US treasury will be felt in the next quarter.
Chinese wholesale dealer of gold and silver have been stocking themselves for the past three months. This is reflected from warehouses in Singapore, hongkong and shanghai. Chinese retail demand will only rise and will ignore economic slowdown.
Indians dilemma will be there. Middle class Indians and Neo Middle Class Indians have not made long term investment in gold and silver in the past six months. (on a general concept). The dilemma is whether to invest in gold and silver at current prices or wait for some time. The best way is to start a gold systematic investment plan on your own. Fix the amount to be invested in physical gold and buy gold or buy silver with the amount every month. However for Indians, selected stocks will give far better returns than gold and silver as valuations looks very cheap.
The Islamisation of Europe continues and also its dissent. Dissent will be crushed the American way in Europe. To me Islamisation and gold have a direct relationship. In the next ten years, nations in Europe will expand and contract. Russia will certainly disintegerate. America and Turkey combined will rule the world. States will be controlling every minute of our lives. All this makes me believe that I should invest over thirty percent of my savings in physical gold and hide it. (Please note that I am against all forms of religious radicalization and am not biased towards any religion).
Momentum as well as technical are all bullish for gold and silver. Central banks comments to weaken their respective currency should be closely watched. The pace of rise of gold and silver will be important and not the actual rise. Today one needs to remain on the sidelines.
