Asian Metals Market Update: Jan 4 2019

By Chintan Karnani, Insignia Consultants / January 04, 2019 / news.goldseek.com / Article Link

US December private ADP numbers suggest a firm economy. Traders reacted the other way as focus is on the US government shutdown and it's after affects. Certain Federal Reserve speakers suggest that interest rate hikes need to be stopped for the moment. Economic news is not affecting the markets in the first trading week of the year.

Concerns over global slowdown has resulted in gold and silver getting the safe haven demand. I have been writing all of last year that other than economic factors all other factors are hyper bullish for gold. Political situation all over the world is fragile. Trade war is there. Even the US faces migrant issues on its border. Asia is a war time bomb. The UK and Eurozone have their own internal political squabbles. Investment demand in gold has to rise. Gold has to be a part of every portfolio. No doubt stock valuation looks cheap and very attractive. But still gold is a hedge against wild moves in stocks. (I prefer physical gold investment over futures and ETFs).

The yen may have formed a short term bottom against the US dollar at 105.00. Another wave of sell off will be there only below 105.00. There is an inverse correlation between the yen and gold. This trend will continue this quarter.
