RUSSIA BUYS 30 TONS OF GOLD
Gold and silver are lower this morning with gold testing $1,095 on the key futures contract, while silver has fallen to a low of $16.85 an ounce. That is in sharp contrast to levels earlier in the morning when gold firmed on the GDP revision showing the economy weaker than previously thought. Surprisingly, the dollar is also a bit soft, trading at unchanged to slightly lower, while oil is down$.47. Gold reserves in Europe rose again this past week by 1 million euros. It seems that central banks in Europe are continuously accumulating gold rather than liquidating it. The OPEC partners held oil production levels unchanged as they say that oil between $70 and $80 a barrel is the appropriate level. Oil at those levels will continue to add to inflationary pressures.
At this point, gold is trading very close to the breakout levels and most analysts are of the view that gold is likely to hold somewhere in the $1,050 to $1,080 range. With the Christmas holidays at hand and New Year directly ahead, there was probably some profit-taking and book squaring going on that is being exaggerated due to thin market conditions. Moreover, the weather conditions in New York aren't helping matters, as it is difficult for a lot of the traders to get to work. This in and of itself tends to reduce volume.
On a more positive note, there is demand for physical gold in India and East Asia as a result ofthe lower prices, said Afshin Nabavi of MKS Finance to the Dow Jones Wire Service. Dow Jones Wire Service reported, "Central Banks became net gold buyers in the second quarter this year for the first time at least since 2004, driven by strong purchases by China,India, Russia and the Philippines over the last two years, Merrill Lynch says. Notes this trend has likely continued in 3Q and 4Q, may extend beyond since developing countries on averagehold just 2.2% of their reserves in gold, compared with the 10% global average."
