Is there really a rebound on the way for the US economy?
Is there really a rebound on the way for the US economy? That is the
question that is constantly dogging the precious metals market while
traders have their ears perked for any positive sign that may direct the
Fed to raise interest rates.
This morning group was trading much higher than currently on concerns
of Greek default. It is obviously less of a concern for the US investor
as they quickly dumped metals on the back of an better than expected
Philadelphia Fed Manufacturing Survey. Oddly
enough, that was the only truly positive indicator versus what others
believe are more important numbers such as Housing Starts, Building
Permits and Jobless claims which did little to reaffirm a positive US
economy. Where is the rebound? It is in the positive
attitude of US business but numbers of late don’t prove it out. The
continued underwhelming indicators balanced against the European
economic and political back drop leaves the metals trading in current
ranges. Unless gold the leader of the group breaks above
1225 we won’t be discussing any major bullish price direction.
Tomorrows Consumer Price Index report might be a catalyst to end the
doldrums if it shows any major divergence.
