Gold / Silver / Copper Prices - Weekly Outlook: January 15 - 19

Investing.com - Gold prices rose for the third straight session on Friday to hit fresh four month highs after hawkish European Central Bank minutes boosted the euro to multi-year highs against the dollar.

Why gold is a dead investment

A recent newspaper report says higher crop prices have led to higher gold sales in rural India. Quoting people from the retail jewellery industry, it says gold sales in December 2017 were 15% higher than in the previous month. Of course, this can hardly be considered data because it does not provide comparisons with figures from matching periods in previous years. Even so, it may well be true. In any case the fact remains that gold is a major form of saving in rural and small town India. Increased prosperity, or even some spare cash, always leads to more gold being bought. Apart from a narrow set of people who have 'financialised' their savings, there remains a deep faith in gold that seems unshakeable at any scale less than that of decades, or even centuries.

Australian gold producers jump to 1-year high as price gains, dollar falls

Gold gains $21 in 3 days on T-bond selloff

Gold enjoyed a nice lift late last week as the yellow metal cruised to $1,337.40 at the close of trading Friday in New York. Spot gold gained $21.40 between Wednesday and Friday, clearly benefiting from the fallout of a dramatic selloff of US government debt. February gold futures rose 0.29% to $1,338.80.

Gold Rush Gets Bizarre

MOHALI: Now that Chandigarh airport is international, smugglers and their innovative ways are not far behind. In fact, they have been trying to sneak in gold through the airport using the most bizarre methods — moulding the yellow metal into a vacumn cleaner's parts, making buttons and biscuits out of it, and some of them even placing it in their rectum.

Small scale gold producers target 35 tonnes output

Zimbabwe Miners’ Federation (ZMF) first vice president Ishmael Kanguru told NewsDay on the sidelines of the organisation’s strategic meeting with mining suppliers in Bulawayo on Friday that they have set themselves an ambitious target. “We are actually giving ourselves a 35-tonne target. We are hoping that we are going to get a lot of support from the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe in terms of the loans in order for us to meet this target,” he said.

Alleged fake gold seller arrested

A 49-year-old Barrie man was arrested and charged last week with fraud under C$5,000 (US$4,000) after allegedly posting an ad online to sell a 1oz gold bar. Police said a buyer had purchased what he believed was a 1oz Royal Canadian Mint gold bar in December for C$1,200 (US$963) but became suspicious the next day and had the bar tested, which verified it was counterfeit.

Gold loans may lose lustre

Golds loans, which were in high demand till a few years ago, may see a decline mainly due to the subdued future outlook of gold prices and the advent of fintech players, which has facilitated quicker credit appraisals by lenders.

Is This The Long Awaited Gold Breakout - Or Just Another Paper Market Head Fake?

Now everybody's asking the same question: Is this finally the start of the long-overdue run at gold's (and silver's) 2011 record-high, or just a case of futures speculators once again panic-buying themselves into an untenable long position, only to be fleeced by the big banks that dominate the paper markets? The commitment of traders (COT) report is not encouraging. In the current rally, the speculators (who are, remember, usually wrong at big turning points) have jumped back in with both feet and are now enthusiastically long while the commercials (usually right at big turning points) are once again aggressively short.

Gold futures jump to Rs. 29,660 on firm global cues

NEW DELHI, JAN 15: Gold prices firmed up 0.48 per cent to Rs. 29,660 per 10 grams at the futures trade due to speculative buying owing to the metal’s gains in global markets. At the Multi Commodity Exchange, gold for delivery in far-month April rose Rs. 142 or 0.48 per cent, to Rs. 29,660 per ten grams in business turnover of 36 lots. The metal for delivery in February was trading higher by Rs. 137 or 0.46 per cent at Rs. 29,684 per ten grams in 316 lots.

Gold Prices Echo US Dollar Weakness, Crude Oil Gains with Stocks

Gold prices pushed higher as the US Dollar failed to capitalize on even as CPI data showed core inflation unexpectedly accelerated in December. The outcome buoyed Treasury yields while the Fed rate hike outlook steeped but the greenback’s recent inability to find strength in tightening bets continued, with the anti-fiat yellow metal enjoying support by extension.

Hold 10% gold in your portfolio for support as equities may see correction

Gold gave a return of 13.59 per cent in the international market in 2017. This was its best performance since 2011, when it had given a return of 10.06 per cent. Its trailing one-year return currently stands at 10.48 per cent. Its return in the Indian market in 2017 was more muted at 5.34 per cent. Given the elevated valuations in the equity markets, and the expected liquidity tightening by global central banks, investors should take exposure to gold, since it could provide support to their portfolios in case equities witness a correction.
