Gold and silver have failed to take advantage of positive situations since 2013. The pace of rise in gold and silver has been very disappointing. It is one of the reasons why I am short term cautious. Long term bullishness is intact. The World gold council (WGC) has over the past year tweeted news industrial uses of gold. The gold price so far has been largely dependent on investment flows and jewelry sector demand. Higher industrial demand implies that once the global interest rate hike cycle tops out (at the most by 2018), the pace of rise of gold prices will be much much quicker than expectations.
Easter holiday goers will now rethink their trading strategy (particularly if they are short). Short covering will be there in gold on a break of $1281 and in silver on a break $1857. Momentum at the moment seems to be bullish for gold and silver, but the rise will be dependent on the ability to break past key resistances of $1281 and $1857.
A June interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve in my view is more or less a certainty as far as I am concerned. After the June FOMC meet, there should be a big delay (on interest rate hikes) as the world takes stock of the political developments in Europe. Europe is becoming New Delhi in the late eighties. In New Delhi’s Palika Bazar bomb scare in the late eighties was a regular phenomenon. Religious radicalist want to convert western Europe into another Kashmir. The trend is there as bombings are frequent. France, Germany all is happening now. No nation wants to play cricket in Pakistan. The Pakistanization of Europe has already begun. Gold and other safe havens will only rise. Short term price falls (largely due to interest rate factor) should be used to invest for the long term.
