Analysis and Recommendations:
Gold is trading at 1763.75 down 4.25 in a light volume quiet day. Gold slightly corrected lower after rising in tandem with the Euro and risky assets following economic stimulus measures announced by the US Federal Reserve. Concerns over slowing Chinese growth rate and uncertainty whether Spain will formally ask for a bailout weighed on investors’ sentiments and lead profit booking yesterday. The US Fed’s open ended program of quantitative easing in a view to urge economic growth and the bond buying plan by European Central Bank raised global inflation outlook benefiting gold earlier.
The dollar index held steady above six month low while the Euro slightly eased but still traded firm. Currently, physical demand for gold is not much impressive from Asian countries as high prices prompted buyers to depend on scrap gold. However, demand from India is expected to pick up in the coming months amid key festive and marriage season. At the same time, the prevailing worst diplomatic crisis between China and Japan is likely to strengthen bullion due to its safe haven appeal.
Following a spectacular rally sparked off by the US Fed’s monetary easing and Germany’s approval to ESM, commodities are seen cooling off. Sentiments turned slightly sour as the market focus turned towards uncertainty prevailing over whether Spain will opt for the bailout package. Spot gold inched lower from its seven month high levels weighed down by declines in other commodities and the Euro. However, its inflation hedge appeal is likely to cushion the decline in prices. Silver followed the suit too, and prices retreated from its six month high.
