There is lot of speculation that global big banks are exiting their precious metals trading business and that prices will be nearer to fundamentals. I do not believe it. There is hope that excess money created by key central banks of the world will reduce and that higher economic growth in these nations will reduce demand for safe havens. This is the key reason for gold and silver price falls. Full Story

There is not much news flow at the moment. Traders are now expecting a Federal reserve taper in June’s meeting and further. There is huge optimism about the US economy. This is the reason why gold and silver have not risen despite increased Ukraine tensions. Gold still needs to trade over $1270 to prevent another wave of selling. Full Story

Trading volumes return to full volume today. One needs to trade very carefully in the next two weeks as Ukraine tensions can move either way, the Federal reserve meeting will be bullish for gold if and only if they say that tapering will not be there after June and April US nonfarm payrolls. Sentiment is bearish for gold and silver. Unless gold does not break $1330 and unless spot silver does not break $20.70, traders will be using every rise to exit their short term investment in bullion. However we believe any five percent and more fall (if any) in gold and silver should be used as an opportunity to invest. Fundamentals are bearish for bullion with reduced demand from key consumers India and China. Full Story

There is already speculation that the peace treaty on Ukraine is in limbo. US economic data releases will not support gold and silver bulls till the Federal reserve meeting on 30th April. Escalation/descalation of tensions in Ukraine will be the key. Gold needs to trade over $1270 on daily closing basis in the next two weeks to prevent another sell off. Comex silver May futures are expiring in the next ten days. Short covering before future expiry should lend support to silver. Silver needs to trade over $18.80 in the next ten days to target $21.50.
