Gold & Yen's Perfect Desert Storm

Yen strength still eclipsing USD rebounds during risk aversion. while gold's ascent is better gauged against currencies other than the US dollar.

Ashraf, the 240 minute chart on Feb Gold clearly shows a pivot at exactly 1059.80. Let's hope this holds. I', pretty convinced that it will.

By watching your various interviews I just now found out that you speak both Spanish and French in addition to English and Arabic. Mashallah! A polyglot and a great financial analyst. We're proud of you.

Evan, i try to not to give too much importance to the noise and better stick to the real moves. ot is true what you said about yen repatriation but overall tone could remain weak until mid Q1 for later consideration.

Ashraf, What do you think Yen will do until the year end? I am a novice at actually watching the micro moves of forex markets, but I do recall some big moves on new years in years past (one year the euro fell 1.36 to 1.30 I think in one new years day) I've heard that many Japanese corporations need to repatriate their yen for end of year reasons, do you think we'll have a strengthening of Yen maybe back to 88-89 against USD, before declining again next year?

Evan, what makes sense is that this time of the year is the ideal time for breaking correlations amid position squaring etcc. i do not expect a gold selloff to be as pronounced as any rally in USD. Chapter 2 of my books cites the 2005 example of rising USD and rising gold.

If the dollar retraces a bit lower at the start of next year, do you think gold will follow it down? Right now, all of the former carry trade correlations have been blown up...I can't make sense of it right now.

Ashraf,

I took my all gold shorts out today near $1095...this gold trading is really taking the nerve away. I know its one of the worst trading I ever had...got some profit but for each contract I saw near $100 dollars upside from my selling level( $1117 level shorts) and I book it with a mere $22 dollars profit. i am feeling really frustrated with this particular trading thats why share it with forum.Hope you will not mind.

BTW, the previous swing high of $1071 is near, will be there any jump in gold or it will fall like Niagara?

Regards,
Rajib.
