Discuss Gold, Oil & Indices (Equity & Bond Indices)
It is very necessary in this respect to examine repurchase rate in China. The repo rate stands high and hence PBOC does monetary tightening along with some small currency tightening. This doesn't bode well for commodities and for gold as well. I went long gold at 1233 after selling short bought at 1265 with nice profit. I expect gold to oscillate between 1250 and 1200 . When eventually next month stock markets crash gold will trade around 1100-1150.
The world is cash strapped that is the only fact that matters.
Dont get so exciting to buy GOLD now. Leave the GOLD to do some correction because the Gold is so high now.
And are we any safer now that the EU has failed to restore full confidence with its 750bn (505bn) "shock and awe" shield, that is to say after throwing everything it can credibly muster under the political constraints of monetary union? This is the deep angst that lies behind last week's surge in gold to an all-time high of $1,258 an ounce.
The World Gold Council said on Friday that the central banks of Russia, the Philippines, Kazakhstan and Venezuela have been buying gold, and Saudi Arabias monetary authority has "restated" its reserves upwards from 143m to 323m tonnes. If there is any theme to the bullion rush, it is fear that the global currency system is unravelling. Or, put another way, gold itself is reclaiming its historic role as the ultimate safe haven and benchmark currency.
