Ashraf tells CNBC Arabia about the losses in gold and the $560 bn in losses to central bank reserves. Fears of margin hikes in China, chatter that Italy (4th largest owner of gold) may start selling reserves; Fed selling GLD naked shorts in order to rebalance the 50-1 ratio of Buyers-Sellers of bullion; and violent unwinding of the short yen/long risk assets trade leading to gold liquidation. Last week we warned about the sharp drop in the Gold/S&P500 ratio, which today has reached a 5-year low. The big question now emerges as to where gold will go. 1350 has proven to be the 30% peak to trough decline, referred to in previous webinars and to our Premium subscribers. The recent bounce may lift gold towards 1400s but so far the indications suggest gold will revisit 1350s and may have the dynamics to extend further down to 1290s. Our bearish stance of the past 3 months has been mainly backed by multi-time frame momentum measures, which we converted into recommendations for our Premium subscribers with varying success due to miscalculation of stops. More importantly, trading rationales were accompanied with each trade and shift in bias. There are also important developments in the Gold/Silver ratio and the extent to which silver may add to its losses.http://ashraflaidi.com/premium/trades
The odds of a Fed rate cut in January fell from 17% earlier in the day to 11% after the release of better than expected Services ISM and somewhat disappointing JOLTS survey on jobs openings. The chart below shows the graphs for expectations of a Fed rate cut for January (Green) and March (White). Focusing on the green graph, see how the probability of a January rate cut fell from 27% in mid December to 11% today, during which the DXY rose while gold also rose. Here is what I think: Even if the Fed ends up holding rates unchanged, expect gold and equities to be propped by an upcoming announcement from Donald Trump revealing his pick for the Fed chairmanship. Looking ahead. Keep an eye on $4400 and $70 as support for gold and silver respectively, with 1.1645 foundation for EURUSD. For equity indices, expect more gains into mid January for now.
