Gold Continues Weak on Technical Selling with the Bears In Charge - Commentary for Friday, May 17, 2013 (www.golddealer.com) - Gold moved down by $22.20 Friday closing at $1364.90 in continued technical selling. This represents the 7th consecutive day of losses so the perfect storm has pushed gold lower by $72.00 this week and $28.00 last week. The three big factors which continue to pressure this market are: (1) The big play now happening in equities and attracting large speculator money. (2) Continued outflows from Exchange Traded Funds as investors look to redeploy cash. (3) Today the Dollar Index saw its highest level since 2010 so the mighty greenback has reasserted itself. Technically the Bears are firmly in charge but on the plus side gold has not breached the important $1360.00 level last seen on April 15th. Silver closed down $0.30 at $22.34 and this market too presents a bit of a mystery. Every dealer in the country is claiming shortages and delays but I am beginning to believe this is simply a pricing strategy. Granted CNI does not have all the silver bullion it wants but it does have a few safes full. Under normal circumstances a silver bullion dealer selling US Silver Eagles makes $0.50 a coin if he is lucky. If that same dealer can convince the new investor higher premiums are warranted because of scarcity that dealer makes $1.50 or even $2.50 a coin which is something to think about over your morning coffee. Platinum closed down $17.00 at $1468.00 and palladium was off $1.00 at $740.00 managing a $36.00 advance on the week. The buzz over platinum and palladium continues as professional traders look beyond the traditional gold and silver to create action. So is it possible that gold is so beat up at this point that the contrarian philosophy should now be deployed? Of course this famous discourse states that when all the trading news is bad and everyone is ready to jump out the window (my terminology) then all the sellers have sold and so the market is at a bottom and will now reverse itself and move higher. I am not sure we are at that level yet because many commentators are wondering if the physical buying trade will jump on cheap if we test recent lows. Hard to say at this stage because what was once considered cheap might be reframed if buyers decided that lagging bids might bring even cheaper prices. But the important point for people who really want to own physical bullion is that the buying dynamic is still alive and well but just out to lunch at the moment. Believe me there is a price at which everybody and their brother will jump at and if you keep that in mind the darker commentary will become less effective. Remember gold is very emotional and never forget subject to distortion on purpose very much like real estate. Remember when everyone was slamming the real estate market? Well now there are 6 offers above the asking price in many areas of the country that at one time were completely underwater. It is a fact that gold is getting cheap and it is also a fact that you are better off being a little early than being a little late price wise so I would still watch this market carefully for opportunity and as always let the critics go fishing. Drum roll please. A stronger dollar and continued strong equities are expected to weigh on gold prices next week, with a majority of participants in the Kitco News Gold Survey forecasting weaker prices. In the Kitco News Gold Survey, out of 36 participants, 28 responded this week. Of those 28 participants, nine see prices up, while 17 see prices down and two see prices moving sideways or are neutral. Market participants include bullion dealers, investment banks, futures traders, money managers and technical-chart analysts. Those who see weaker prices cite currency factors and technical-chart trends. The strength of the U.S. dollar, which rose to its highest level since August 2010, pressured gold and other commodities this week. "The June contract has moved through technical price support at $1,384.80 and could now target its previous low of $1,321.50," said Darin Newsom, DTN senior analyst. Several respondents said they see a trip down to test the April lows of $1,321.50, and another participant said he wouldn't be surprised to see gold fall under $1,300 next week, given the pace of the weakness this week. Those who see higher prices said they expect gold to find support near current levels, saying that the sentiment in gold has become too bearish. "No one should be surprised if gold prices take another dive. The market certainly remains vulnerable to more institutional selling. That said, I'm looking for a bounce-back in the week ahead -- with the yellow metal recovering some of the ground lost in the recent flash crash -- if only because the price has fallen so far, so fast…. However, the key to recovery is in the paper market. What the hedge funds and other large-scale institutional traders need now is a sense that downside risks are retreating and some degree of comfort that prices have hit bottom," said Jeffrey Nichols, managing director, American Precious Metals Advisors and senior economic advisor, Rosland Capital. Those who are neutral or see a sideways trade said they believe gold prices are trying to build a base of support in the $1,300s region. Walk in trade was very active today as we were busy at the counter with plenty of cash transactions. The phones were off and on all day but the order size was no big deal so the big boy trade continues to look elsewhere. Like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter @CNI_golddealer.
