Gold and silver were very wild yesterday in USA session. Sell stops, buy stops where both triggered as soon as Federal Reserve chairman started delivery this speech. Price moves will be volatile but not scary. Copper and nickel are looking very bullish. Boom or bust time for the US dollar Index in the next two weeks.
FOMC
The Federal Open Market Committee announced that it has approved changes to its written policy strategy that are widely seen as leading to an easier monetary policy stance over time.
In a statement, the Fed said that it has adopted an “average inflation target” and recognizes the benefits for a strong labor market. The U.S. economy should continue to recover, in fits and starts, but many unemployed workers will have trouble finding work.
Our View on FOMC
View change indicates that interest rates in USA will remain soft for a very long period of time. Gold and silver will rise/remain firm a as result of Federal Reserve policy change. Federal Reserve has acknowledged that slower growth in USA is here to stay. It has shifted focus on US jobs. Various US jobs numbers (NFP, ADP, etc) will have a bigger impact on bonds, precious metals and the US dollar Index than CPI, PPI and other US economic data releases. Right now, next week’s various US jobs numbers will be the key. Hurricane impact will not be there on the US jobs report next week.
