Update On Gold

 

Update On Gold

 strategists expect to maintain an underweight precious metals position within the commodity complex. The above chart shows that the key drivers of gold since 2008 – real interest rates, the dollar and investor risk aversion, proxied by the U.S. equity risk premium – have stabilized. Our view is that these drivers will remain trendless in 2014H2, although an equity correction could cause an intermediate-term shift. However, ETF volumes already have adjusted downward, minimizing any downside for gold (and silver).

What could make us wrong and begin a gold bull market? Ironically, a growth scare rather than an inflation scare is the most likely candidate. It would put pressure on central banks to boost liquidity “at any cost”, just like in 2008-2011. But we view that probability as unlikely.

Bottom Line: Gold will ebb and flow with the dollar against a flat trend.
