STRONG DOLLAR AFFECTS COMMODITIES
The dollar rallied strongly this morning in reaction to a weaker euro and that caused the precious metals and other commodities to pull back in early trading. Gold is down $12 and silver is down $.15, while the dollar is up 41 basis points. Oil is down $.59 and the equities are also lower with the Dow down 67 points.
Some of the factors influencing both the dollar and gold are concerns about China's effort to curb its growth along with a rather tame U.S. inflation report. The CPI report showed a gain of only 0.1% in December, down from it's 0.4% advance in November. This is the lowest CPI rate since July and is slightly below expectations, which were for a .2% rise.
Over the last couple of weeks volatility in the precious metals and other commodities has been rather high. This results from fairly thin trading conditions. However, that is the reason that there is so much movement back and forth, in other words volatility. While it is all together possible for the markets to have a correction of some significance, the market remains very bullish and the down side according to most analysts remains limited. Just in the last few days Goldman Sachs raised its forecast for gold this year to $1,365. The survey by Dow Jones Wire Service yesterday of 41 analysts at investment banks, trading houses, and research organizations showed their highest forecast for the year on average at $1,400. They forecast silver to reach an average high of $22. Goldman Sachs sees gold above $1,275 in the next five months.
These are excellent forecasts and when there are corrections along the way, they should be viewed as buying opportunities, which provide the opportunity to increase potential profit. Those who know this about corrections and would like to have some comfort may wish to take advantage of Goldline's Price Guarantee Program, which provides a 10-day window of opportunity to re-price your transaction in the event of a further correction. This has helped many investors to take positions and to be immune from some of the corrective process. Call Goldline at 1-877-341-2646 to find out the details.
Another factor influencing the dollar and the metals today is investor apprehension that European assets will lose value as Greece struggles to cut its budget deficit and get its financial house in order. The problems in Greece are severe and the fact that their sovereign credit worthiness is being questioned is an important consideration for Europe as a whole. However, while the dollar is in a temporary rebound mode, the long-term outlook for the dollar is poor. A study done by Rogoff and Reinhart of 44 countries that have experienced some form of crisis, demonstrates that over a period of 200 years the dollar is not likely to be immune from problems resulting from an immense build up of debt. The debt in this country is likely to reach 90% of GDP this year according to the study. Within the next four years, the debt to GDP ratio will be 108%. It seems highly unlikely that the dollar can perform well in a situation where budget deficits and debt are exploding in that manner.
These are among the reasons why so many of these prominent analysts are forecasting gold to make new record highs this year.
