Morning Miners!

Happy Friday the Thirteenth - anything can happen today!

Gold can't make up its mind between concerns about real wars and trade wars. Trade tensions between The U.S. and China have moderated with both sides willing to talk resulting in a boost equities and loss of lift for the lustrous metal. That is until the missile threats against Syria pushed Comex gold to $1,369.4 Wednesday. Then the timing and scale of such U.S. attacks became muddled allowing stocks to recover and gold to fall.

When I started my analysis early this morning gold had retreated to the $1,340-level then moved back up to $1,348 per ounce mid-morning. Such are the trading places of recent political/geo-political musical chairs. Remember that, although gold price appears to be in a state of flux, the movements up or down are relatively small. Gold still has currency-like low volatility. This is not all bad.

In 2011, a headline could rip or dip price $50 per ounce. Nowadays, crisis-to-crisis concerns create much milder variations . For example, the gain for gold early this morning was flat for the week after popping $26 briefly Wednesday. By mid-morning the yellow metal jumped $5 on a Wall Street Journal headline, "China Delays Deal Reviews as U.S. Trade Frictions Build."

Steady as she goes.

I am more interested in oil price as an indicator of where things are headed in the Middle East. Benchmark WTI touched a 3-year high last night. What this means for gold is discussed in my input to the Kitco Weekly Gold Survey below.

Closing on some good news Goldman Sachs has doubled down on its "overweight" recommendation for raw materials, reiterating the view that commodities will yield returns of 10% over the next 12 months. Not bad, pardner, stay tuned.

Inflation Watch

Inflation expectations fell from February's high and broke trend (blue dotted line, click on chart for larger size). They appear to be on the move again higher:

10-year Inflation Expectations

Note: In the above chart inflation expectations peaked at 2.14% February 2; Wednesday was 2.11%.

Interest rates and inflation numbers going forward are greatly influenced by central bank policy worldwide. My latest Kitco commentary discusses what some of the moving parts are as well as useful indicators - watch the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) and euro/yen cross rate:

Scorecard

Here's our scorecard on where we stand for the last six months:

Intraday highs on the Comex futures exchange:

Gold $1,370.5 per ounce January 25, 2018 (April 2018 contract)

Silver $18.160 per ounce September 8, 2017 (Continuous chart))

Copper $3.3335 per pound ($7,349 per tonne) December 28, 2017 (May 2018 contract)

Comex copper is presently trading at $3.0525 per pound ($6,730 per tonne), 8.4% below December's high. Improving global growth has kept the red metal above the key $3 per pound level with an added boost from passage of Tax Reform and expectations for U.S. infrastructure spending. Trade war fears dipped the red metal below this mark but copper is now back above $3.

Copper futures remain down year-to-date on the Shanghai Futures Exchange (SHFE).

China growth resulted in a GDP 6.9% for 2017 compared to 6.7% for 2016. The GDP projection for 2018 is 6.5%, down but still fairly robust. Encouragingly, the Q1 result is a better-than-expected 6.8% although industrial production fell to 6.0%. Something to continue to watch.

Recent U.S. import tariff threats on steel, aluminum and other Chinese exports cloud the outlook for metals. Also, indefinite tariffs, investment restrictions and possible visa restrictions on Chinese travelers are now being contemplated by the Trump Administration.

Copper stored in LME and Nymex warehouses are now about 0.61 million tonnes - net copper inventories are up compared to March.

LME inventories falling:

It is instructive to keep our eyes on the Comex inventories which are behind the LME and but moving up (366,725 versus 238,982 tonnes):

My Input to Kitco News

Here's how I saw the weekly price action as told to the Kitco News Weekly Gold Survey:

[Note: since submitting this opinion at 7:37 a.m this morning, domestic stocks reversed down to flat and Comex gold got some giddy-up go to $1,348.5, just shy of the target for next week]

My vote is up. Target gold price $1,350 per ounce. Target silver price $16.7 per ounce.

The greatest driver for gold next week is the unfolding U.S. standoff with Syria and Russia. Fears of real wars have replaced those of trade wars, at least for the time being. The U.S. and China have expressed a willingness to negotiate and even U.S. participation in the controversial TTP agreement is back on the table. Global equity markets this morning appear to be discounting a bad outcome in Syria and boosted by improving trade discussions. If gold follows this sentiment next week, it may return to the $1,320-level. However, flying missiles over Syrian skies could propel the yellow metal towards the Comex January high of $1,375.50 (June contract).

Between these two dipoles, my bet is down the middle with gold closing up next week up at $1,350 per ounce; silver at $16.7 per ounce.

There is another way to look at this market dynamism. Benchmark WTI oil touched a 3-year high last night causing the gold-to-oil ratio to drop below a multi-year low of less than 20 barrels per ounce. This advance is Syria driven on fears of spreading conflagration in the Middle East. In my view this ratio level is not sustainable so either WTI must fall or gold rise or at least outpace oil. If you are bullish oil, you should be bullish gold in this environment.

Although the yellow metal still exhibits low currency-like volatility (~1% day-to-day fluctuations on a 1-month basis) it now lags the euro but is still ahead of the yen. In value, gold gained on copper but lost ground to the broader Bloomberg Commodity Index (-2.7%), primarily due to the greater than 8% bump in oil prices. [see Weekly Summary and charts below]

Additional Note:

The fate of the Chinese yuan remains a key tell for gold and copper - a material drop in valuation could boost gold and depress copper prices. There has been talk from China that currency devaluation may be used as a tool in a U.S./China trade war, just talk for now.

The yuan stabilized below 7 USD/CNY for 2017 and has been trending steadily stronger in the new year. The yuan is slightly stronger than last week at 6.2767 USD/CNY and above the February 7th low (i.e. even stronger level) of 6.2540. A 1-month yuan volatility of 0.34% is in the ballpark of major currency levels - a healthy sign for the Chinese currency (1-month volatilities of euro, yen and gold*).

* the euro & yen 1-month volatilites are 0.44% & 0.71% respectively; Comex gold 1-month volatility is 1.04%.

Weekly Summary for April 13, 2018 AM

(click on table for larger size)

Yearly Summary for 2017

(click on table for larger size)

Comex gold gained nearly 14% for the year but was outpaced by Comex copper that enjoyed a 32% uptick in price. Comex silver lagged both for a respectable 7.2% gain. Overall, gold gained 12% on the broader Bloomberg Commodity Index (BCOMTR:IND) which includes everything from crude oil to things that oink. In terms of major currencies, gold in terms of yen advanced almost 10% but slipped 0.4% relative to the strengthening euro.

Although gold slipped 5% in value relative to the S&P 500 it was not a bad year at all for the yellow metal!

Gold Price Outlook for 2018:

My revised gold range for 2017 was $1,250 to $1,400. We closed 2017 comfortably above $1,300 at $1,309.3 (February contract).

Let's assume 2018, like 2017, is a mix of buoyant market expectations and rising rates with occasional geopolitical, political and economic shocks. Gold will feel the headwinds of the former and enjoy price spikes in times of market stress. I believe this will secure a price floor in the $1,200 to $1,250 range with highs challenging but not exceeding $1,380 per ounce.

2018 will prove a less bullish period for gold than last year unless interest rates return to 2017 levels and copper prices fall - a less likely scenario given the recent rise of the 10-year Treasury together with U.S. growth and synchronous global growth expectations. Inflation will be another key factor to monitor, it has been on the rise (see chart above in discussion). Geo-political tensions in the Middle-East have also re-surfaced.

The difference between interest rates and inflation expectations drive gold price; if the former leads the latter, there could be stiff headwinds for the lustrous metal. A trade war that results in slower growth and higher inflation could be potentially very bullish for gold.

Here's a good beer bet for 2018: Gold will fall below $1,220 before rising above $1,380. We ended 2017 n the middle of that range with prices just above $1,300 - a fair starting point.

Which side of this bet you take depends on whether you have a half-empty or half-full view on interest rate direction and economic prospects, both global and domestic.

Important charts to watch remain the gold-to-S&P500 or AUSP (see "Chart to Watch" below) and gold in terms of major currencies euro and Japanese yen (directly below). An explanation of the charts below is given in my latest Kitco column:

Gold-to-S&P 500 Ratio

An important gold ratio is gold-to-S&P500 or AUSP. The ratio bottomed in early-December of 2015 and reversed to a bullish trend, peaking February 11, 2016. It bottomed again December 20, 2016 (0.4973) trended higher but then bearishly bottomed again in July, 2017 and more recently December, 12, 2017 (0.4661). Currently this AM the AUSP is 0.5029, still bullishly above the key 0.5-level.

Gold $1,338 on Weaker-Than-Expected Jobs, Tariff Threats

Morning Miners!

A market news avalanche before 6:00 a.m this morning! Let's see if we can unpack it.

The monthly Labor Department jobs report came out at 5:30 a.m. showing nonfarm payrolls for March were 103,000 jobs versus 178,000 expected. Headline unemployment remains at 4.1%.

Although this is weaker-than-expected, the February report was unexpectedly high and March had some weather impacts. All-in-all, average jobs added on a monthly basis is 202,000 which is good. In the words of a CNBC News guest, "a steady-as-you-go economy." This is important because an overheated economy would move the Federal Reserve to a more hawkish pace for rate hikes. Comex gold popped $10 per ounce on the news to currently trade at $1,339.2 per ounce.

Before this report, President Trump's threat of $100 billion new tariffs for China rattled global markets overnight and increased the chances for a major trade war. Shortly after the report, the Treasury Department announced new Russia sanctions which included 7 oligarchs 12 companies and 17 senior Russian officials. One oligarch singled out was the devious aluminum magnate Oleg Deripaska tied to the Russian mob and implicated in the Paul Manafort case. Things are heating up, pardner.

Importantly, gold reacted more to the interest rate implications of the jobs report than new tariff proposals and Russian sanctions. I explain why in my input to the Kitco News Weekly Gold Survey below.

One other key data point from the Labor Department was average hourly wages which ticked up more-than-expected at 0.3% . This may indicate that inflation is again picking up after peaking earlier this year - another potentially bullish outcome for the yellow metal (see Inflation Watch below).

Finally, although rhetoric is heating up on both sides of the U.S./China trade dispute there are roughly two months of negotiation ahead before any real tariffs are imposed. The ole Colonel is betting that the bark of both dogs on either side of the fence is greater than the their bite - let's hope so.

Inflation Watch

Inflation expectations fell from February's high and broke trend (blue dotted line, click on chart for larger size). However, today's labor report may reverse expectations to the upside:

Note: In the above chart inflation expectations peaked at 2.14% February 2; Wednesday was 2.09%.

My Input to Kitco News

Here's how I saw the weekly price action as told to the Kitco News Weekly Gold Survey:

My vote is up. Target gold price $1,350 per ounce. Target silver price $16.6 per ounce.

One of the most striking features of 2018 is the return of high volatility to equity markets. The flip-side is the marked low volatility of gold and major currencies. Yes, gold moves up on safe haven plays such as the threat of trade wars or this morning's weaker-than-expected U.S. labor report but the moves are not dramatic.

By contrast, remember the galloping gold volatility of 2011? It appears gold and currencies are more closely tracking the slowly evolving change in global monetary policy while equities are responding to the higher frequency noise of Presidential tweet storms. In that environment, the correlations of gold and stocks are often erratic and atypical. Although the yellow metal exhibits low currency-like volatility it has been bullishly outpacing the euro and Japanese yen since mid-March.

I think this trend will continue pushing prices closer to $1,350 per ounce next week with silver following to $16.50. Political/geo-political shocks could send prices towards the March high ($1,362) with a solid floor at the March low ($1,309).

In value, gold advanced more than 1% compared to the euro and yen this week. It moved ahead of the broader Bloomberg Commodity Index (BCOM) by 0.5% while stayed roughly even with recovering copper prices. [see Weekly Summary and charts below]

Additional Note:

The fate of the Chinese yuan remains a key tell for gold and copper - a material drop in valuation could boost gold and depress copper prices. The yuan stabilized below 7 USD/CNY for 2017 and has been trending steadily stronger in the new year. The yuan is slightly weaker than last week at 6.3040 USD/CNY and above the February 7th low (i.e. even stronger level) of 6.2540. A 1-month yuan volatility of 0.32% is in the ballpark of major currency levels - a healthy sign for the Chinese currency (1-month volatilities of euro, yen and gold*).

Morning Miners!

Whoa - what a week!

In case you were busy yesterday doing something useful and less stressful than watching markets, domestic stocks fell down the mine shaft and global markets panicked overnight. Commodity Maven Janet Mirasola of Sucden Futures Inc. started her report with a line from a popular 1970 hit, "War":

Today's Cap’n Obvious Edwin Starr said “War, huh, yeah. What is it good for. Absolutely nothing” – The rumblings of a global trade war came before the collapse of US equity markets yesterday where the DJIA lost 724 pts, the S&P 500 68 and the NASDAQ 178 in an across all assets rout that sent traders and investors rushing to reduce risk from their portfolios.

The panic has continued through Asia where the MSCI Asia Pacific Index fell 2.5% while the Nikkei was hardest hit as it collapsed 4.5%. Shanghai Shares as expected were hit hard falling 3.39% but recovering from deeper intraday losses. Euro bourses are falling along with global equity futures off the early opening as they catch trade war fears and investors look to reduce risk. Only the Black and Shiny Ones have managed to hold onto recent gains as gold retains some of its old “safe haven “ status while oil dances to its own inventory tune.

Well, at least our favorite metal is happy.

Allen Sykora featured a portion of my weekly report in the Kitco News Weekly Gold Survey

"Briefly cresting the important $1,350 level this morning, the yellow metal made substantial advances in U.S. dollar price as well as value compared to equities, commodities and major currencies,” said Richard Baker, editor of the Eureka Miner Report. “Only oil outpaced the lustrous one on a percentage basis.”

and,

Meanwhile, Baker looks for a pullback even though he also points out that the news flow this week “reminds market participants the wisdom of holding a little gold in their portfolios.” Still, Baker said, “I think it likely that some of this safe-haven enthusiasm will wane by next week as scary headlines transition to more moderate outcomes. Gold will consolidate around $1,340 and silver should find footing at $16.50 per ounce. In the case of heightened anxiety, gold may indeed challenge the $1,360 plateau.”

My full report is included below. Thankfully, U.S. stock markets are recovering some of their losses this morning; copper is on the edge (see "Scorecard" below) [Oh-oh, stock markets have reversed to the downside adding to yesterday's losses. Comex gold is hovering just below $1,350; Comex copper is now below $3 at $2.9940 per pound, 12:07 p.m. Eureka time].

Silver $18.160 per ounce September 8, 2017 (Continuous chart))

Copper $3.3335 per pound ($7,349 per tonne) December 28, 2017 (May 2018 contract)

Comex copper is presently trading at $3.0065 per pound (6,628 per tonne), 9.8% below December's high. Improving global growth has kept the red metal above the key $3 per pound level with an added boost from passage of Tax Reform and expectations for U.S. infrastructure spending. Now we are perilously close to that level with Comex copper dipping briefly to$2.9820 this week.

Chinese post-Lunar holiday remain in a dire mood with copper futures down year-to-date on the Shanghai Futures Exchange (SHFE).Janet Mirasola reported further this morning, "The Red One, almost a commodity proxy for China continues to fall breaking below its 200-day moving average ($6677) this morning to a low so far of $6623 dragging its basket of base metal mates along for the ride."

China growth was resulted in a GDP 6.9% for 2017 compared to 6.7% for 2016. The GDP projection for 2018 is 6.5%, down but still fairly robust.

China's industrial output climbed 7.2 percent in the January to February period from a year ago, faster than the 6.2 percent rise in December. That was also above the 6.6 percent increase economists had forecast.

Recent U.S. import tariffs on steel, aluminum and other Chinese exports cloud the outlook for metals. Also, indefinite tariffs, investment restrictions and possible visa restrictions on Chinese travelers are now being contemplated by the Trump Administration.

Copper stored in LME and Nymex warehouses are now 0.55 million tonnes - net copper inventories have risen slightly for the week.

LME inventories built stronger as we started the new year, but are now lower and leveling off:

It is instructive to keep our eyes on the Comex inventories which are behind the LME and falling (232,138 versus 321,900 tonnes):

My Input to Kitco News

Here's how I saw the weekly price action as told to the Kitco News Weekly Gold Survey:

My vote is down. Target gold price $1,340 per ounce. Target Silver price $16.5 per ounce.

This is a week that reminds market participants the wisdom of holding a little gold in their portfolios.

As domestic and global equities plunged on resurgent fears of trade wars, real wars and a more hawkish-sounding U.S Federal Reserve, gold shined. Briefly cresting the important $1,350-level this morning, the yellow metal made substantial advances in U.S. dollar price as well as value compared to equities, commodities and major currencies. Only oil outpaced the lustrous one on a percentage basis.

As a bullish indication. it is important to note that gold in yen terms jumped nearly 2% even as the Japanese currency strengthened below the 105-level under the shadow of a looming U.S./China trade dust-up. In the commodity space, bellwether copper ominously threatened to fall below $3 per pound-level. Gold in relation to the red metal picked up a stunning 6% in value.

I think it likely that some of this safe haven enthusiasm will wane by next week as scary headlines transition to more moderate outcomes. Gold will consolidate around $1,340 and silver should find footing at $16.5 per ounce. In the case of heightened anxiety, gold may indeed challenge the $1,360 plateau.[see Summary Chart & last graph below, Chart to Watch].

Additional Note:

The fate of the Chinese yuan remains a key tell for gold and copper - a material drop in valuation could boost gold and depress copper prices. The yuan stabilized below 7 USD/CNY for 2017 and has been trending steadily stronger in the new year. The yuan is slightly stronger than last week at 6.3125 USD/CNY and above the February 7th low (i.e. even stronger level) of 6.2540.
