My thought on Gold (XAU) /Silver (XAG) / EUR / USD fundamental analysis 11 June 2014


My analyst for the week
Gold XAU↓
Silver XAG↓
Eur ↓
USD ↑

With the Russia/Ukraine issue settling down to non war issue, the precious metal market seem to have relaxed and now focusing more on the EUR market.

China seem to be recovering base on the recent data released, but there are still worry that the China credit market is shaky. There are some rumor regarding China company using the same asset for multiple loan. And there is still no clear direction for China properties market.

Recent USA market data is quite good. With the employment rate going up and the market reacting positively to the news, USD should be showing some strength soon.But the student loan issue seem to be getting worse and no clear active had being taken by the US government to help the issue.

With the recent EUR negative rates, the precious metal seem to have a short boost. This might be due to the possibility of a hyper inflation from the credit influx as bank are now in theory dumping credit into the market to escape the negative rate monster.

And with Russia, China and Iran getting closer through trade(by passing USA sanction) and the unstable nature of the Asian area, precious metal seem to have rally this few days. Rumor on Russia stock piling Gold and Silver to escape the USA sanction.

Please be advise that playing with forex might cause you to lose all your money.

Today's Forex Focus, 30 Jan 2024

 Ah, nephew, let's dive into the Forex market today, shall we? It's like peering into a crystal ball, but with a bit more logic and a lot less mysticism. First up, we've got the EUR/USD pair showing a bit of a bearish tilt. The dollar's holding steady like a rock in a stream, buoyed by investors who've got their eyes glued to the upcoming Federal Reserve policy meeting. There's a bit of a buzz about geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, making investors a bit jittery and giving the dollar a bit of a boost​​. Then, there's talk about the Federal Reserve potentially pushing back against the idea of a rate cut anytime soon. This is like a plot twist in a thriller movie for the traders, who are now less convinced about a rate drop in March. The dollar, meanwhile, is flexing its muscles a bit, up by 0.19% against a basket of currencies. Across the pond, the Euro's taken a bit of a tumble, and there's chatter about when the European Central Bank might ...

My thought on USD/Gold fundamental analysis 09 April 2015

USD - ↔  Gold -↓ Current USA data is pointing to a robust recovery, with a stable employment rate and a stable growth. Yes the data from march was a major disappointment(weather?) but overall data so far is looking good, not great, but good. So what does good data means? USA is still out growing most developing countries and Euro even with just a "Good". Together with Oil price swinging ever lower, and with Iran joining in with the global oil market which will push oil price even lower. the inflation rate will set to be ever lower. Good Usa growth plus low inflation combine with non stop influx of credit, point to a market that investors dare to seek higher return with higher risk investment which is not good for Gold. So going long to mid term(end of 2015?), the Gold price would be projected to go down. I am aiming for at least a USD1100 per ounce range. Please be advise that forex is a high risk investment, there will be a very high chance of lost o...

Is Currency Carry Trade worth investing?

  What is Currency Carry Trade? "A strategy in which an investor sells a certain currency with a relatively low interest rate and uses the funds to purchase a different currency yielding a higher interest rate. A trader using this strategy attempts to capture the difference between the rates, which can often be substantial, depending on the amount of leverage used. " quoted from http://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/currencycarrytrade.asp Value?  The value of this investment depend on the currency being used. Since most high interest currency belong to third world countries, their currency tend to be very unstable. For example Argentina which have an interest rate of 8.18%(at the time of this post) but due to it the 2014 Aug Default, no sane investor would consider getting this bond. If the trader get the safer developed countries currency, the interest rate tend to be lower. So in order to get the same return as third world countries, the trader would need to leve...
