DOLLAR SURGES
Gold and silver fell aggressively this morning in reaction to an enormous surge in the dollar. The dollar is up 81 basis points at 78.31. This caused gold to pull back $25 and silver fell $.58 in early trading. It also impacted oil, down $1.22 at $77.80 a barrel, the Dow fell 150 points and the Nasdaq is down 34 points.
The dollar surged in reaction to concerns about European sovereign debt and as a result of rumors that China is moving toward tightening monetary policy. I think the election in Massachusetts with the Republican candidate winning is also a significant factor bolstering the dollar. I think there may be some expectation in the markets that the Democrats loss of a filibuster proof majority will stop some of the bills that have been pending and kill the health care reform bill. The expectation is if there is gridlock they will not be able to spend as much money as if there is one party in power. It seems as though anytime there is one party that controls congress, whether it's Republican or Democrat, spending goes through the roof. When there is gridlock there tends to be less spending and less debt. It's too early to determine how this will all play out. There is a growing backlash against the government bailouts of major banks and brokers, along with concerns that deficits and debt must be brought under control. However, the actions that would necessary to accomplish this would be so draconian that it would crush the American economy. As a consequence many analysts continue to believe that devaluation is the most likely course as it is the least painful solution in the near term.
New home construction fell more than expected in December, while inflation at the wholesale level seems to be rather modest. Housing starts are down 0.4% from the previous month. Producer prices rose at a seasonally adjusted .2% for the month of December, after a 1.8% rise in November. Looking at the overall picture, producer prices are rising much higher than people would have expected. Even in a dreadful economy such as we've had over the past two years, inflation continues to be a significant problem. This is because the dollar continues to lose buying power on a trend basis.
This morning gold seems to have found support and bounced off support levels and the correction may run out of steam as the day wears on. Given the forecast of people like Fred Hickey of $1,600 an ounce for gold this year, Philip Klapwijk forecasting above $1,300, BofA/Merrill Lynch forecasting $1,500 by early next year, gold at these levels looks like a tremendous buying opportunity. If we look at the average price forecast for the year by these major analysts, they have anticipated a fairly wide range of trading but nevertheless expect the overall trend to be significantly higher.
