Analysis and Recommendations:
Gold is trading at 1769.25 off by just a few cents, as markets adjusted to the news from the FOMC and digested Mr. Bernanke’s statement and explanations. With markets getting a bit more than expected gold broke well above expectations and today, traders took profits.
Spot gold prices increased around 0.4 percent on the back of rise in risk appetite in the global markets along with weakness in the US Dollar Index (DX). Additionally, statement from US Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke of buying back long term Mortgage Backed Securities (MBS) of $40 billion monthly also supported upside in the prices.
While market are already riding high on the boost received from the Euro Zone in the form of favorable verdicts on ESM from the German constitutional court, it received another fillip from the US Federal Reserve yesterday in which the central bank unveiled a plan to buy mortgage-backed securities that will pump $40 billion into the economy. Commodities and equities spiked to multi month highs while the dollar index dwindled to a four month low.
Precious metals in the International market rose to their highest in around six months. Spot gold extended the previous session’s two percent gains as stimulus measures fanned worries over higher inflation.
