Asian Metals Market Update for 6th June 2024

June 06, 2024

Buy on dips strategy is still overall profitable in gold. Silver buyers were cautious yesterday. But the reversal in silver, indicates that silver may have formed a short-term bottom this week. Incoming US economic data releases (for the month of May 2024) so far this week indicate a mild slowdown. A quicker pace of rise of the interest rate cuts will be there in case there is a rise in unemployment rate over the coming months and the inflation (CPI and Core PCE) curve starts to flatten.

UK elections on 4^th July will also be bullish for gold and silver. Speculation of a new UK Prime Minister will increase demand for gold and safe havens. Cable is rising versus the US dollar on hopes that a leadership change will do all it can for higher employment opportunities in UK. Political uncertainty in key nations will always be bullish for gold and precious metals.

India’s election result has told the world not to bet aggressively on opinion polls or exit polls and other similar stuff. Retail traders had a historical loss this week on Indian stocks. Why? The prime minister and his team were constantly giving a view that if they come to power in a big way, the Indian stock market will reach planet Mars. However, after the result, the crash was equally historical. All I am trying to say is that please do not take unnecessary risks based on what's trending in news media, YouTube, and social media. All asset classes are interlinked. A significant fall, I am using the word, “significant fall” in any asset class will negatively impact all other asset classes. The chain reaction will be huge trading losses for the day and short-term trading communities.

The cost of living is rising much more than our incremental rise in income. Taxes, in every nation, are rising every year. Savings and frugality is the need of the hour. One should not increase his/her misery by having trading losses or investment losses. If you are not confident or you are unwell, do not trade/invest. “Zero Tolerance to Capital Erosion” should be the mantra.

Tomorrow’s US May nonfarm payrolls will be followed next week by the Federal Reserve meeting, CPI, and PPI inflation numbers for the month of May. There can still be some sharp unexpected two-way price moves in precious metals and base metals.
