Gold And Silver: Daily Market Outlook. May 18th 2012.


 

 

Greek surveys suggest that the electorate prefers those parties that stick to the austerity plan approved by the EU authorities. Fitch Ratings has downgraded Greece’s sovereign rating.

 

 

 

 

 

 
Amid declining prices on Spanish fixed property, Moody’s Investors Service has downgraded the ratings of 16 Spanish banks. The Spanish bond yield increased during yesterday’s bond auction.
 
The new French president has imposed a 30% pay cut on himself and his ministers.
 
The US rate of unemployment starts increasing once again. Yesterday’s report came out worse than expected. The consumer confidence index came out negative as well. If we see more negative economic stats in advance of the FOMC meeting, we may well see the Fed Reserve starting a new round of quantitative easing.
 
The experts of the Chinese state analytic center assume that China’s economy will boost by 7.5% in Q2 2012. Housing price keep falling, thus exerting extra pressure on local banks. In its turn, the People’s Bank of China will probably have to lower the reserve requirements. Auto dealers report about a sales decline.
 
The Japanese Yen has resumed its appreciation amid the eurozone uncertainty. The Japanese minister of finance says the Bank of Japan may start a new series of currency interventions in order to curb the strengthening.
 
WGC has published its forecast for China’s gold consumption in 2012. According to it, the demand for gold in China will increase by 30% up to 900-1000 tons. At the same time, India’s gold consumption is expected to decline form 933.4 down to 800-900 tons.
 
The global consumption of gold in q1 2012 dropped by 4.6% down to 1097.6 tons. WGC’s forecast contradicts the forecasts made by China’s major jeweler. The company anticipates only a slight increase. This may suggest that the People’s bank of China and major investors will become the main gold consumers while the jewelry and tech demand will stagnate.
 
Amid sanctions, Iran keeps accumulating its gold reserves via Turkey. The current supplies are estimated at 9 tons as compared with 286 kg in 2011.
 
Forecast
 
According to the Commodity trading Department of Masterforex-V Academy, today gold prices may test 1558, 1550 if there is a break and consolidation below 1573. Alternatively, a rally may intensify and touch 1594, 1605.
 
As for silver, it may test 27.75, 27.50. The closest level of resistance is 28.0. If an H1 price bar closes above 28.10, the rally may hit 28.25, 28.50.
