What if the Fed Really Tapers QE?
September 4, 2013, 10:24 AMAs always, there are many ways in which the situation can develop and in today’s article (and to a much greater extend in the current Market Overview report) we will focus on what is probably the most important factor that will to a great extent determine what will happen in the coming months, not just in the precious metals market, but also in bonds, stocks and real estate markets.
Yes, you guessed correctly – we are going to discuss the Fed’s possible actions and the probable effects on the markets. Will we actually see any form of tapering or will we just hear about it? If so how will remarks made by the Fed impact actual events? As you know, very often what Bernanke or some other Fed official says can ignite large price moves. So, for the analysis to be complete, we should focus not only on what happens but also on how it is announced.
In today’s article we will feature one of these scenarios in greater detail. Namely, we will discuss what would likely happen if the Fed froze the program and went into “stand by” mode because of positive news.

Gold Price in September 2013
September 3, 2013, 2:23 PMIn the previous week gold rose as high as $1,433.31 on speculation of a strike against Syria. It was yellow metal’s highest level since mid-May. However, as the prospect of an imminent attack on Syria receded, gold gave up some gains and dropped below $1,400 an ounce on Friday. Will these circumstances reduce its appeal as a safe haven? It’s seems quite possible at the moment. Today, the shiny metal extended losses to a third session and remains below $1,400. Will this drop trigger further dips? What’s the current outlook for gold? What impact could the dollar and the euro have on future prices of the yellow metal? Could they drive gold prices higher or lower in the near term? If you want to know our take on these questions, we invite you to read our today’s essay.

Oil Update: No Breakout So Far, but the Trend Remains in Place
September 2, 2013, 10:40 AMThe crude market is always sensitive to Middle East conflict. As you remember, prices rose to $115 on the unrest in Libya two years ago and to $110 on Iran’s nuclear program. In the previous week we saw similar price action.
On Wednesday, light crude surged to its highest level since May 2011 and reached over $112 per barrel on concerns that the conflict in Syria would spread and threaten exports from a region which accounts for 35 percent of the world oil production.
However, in the following days, the price of light crude declined as the prospect of imminent attacks on Syria receded. Should we believe that the Syrian conflict poses only a short-term risk and without its impact the price of light crude will drop further? Are there any other factors, which may have an impact on future oil prices? What is the current technical picture for the oil market? We invite you to check our Oil Update. Have a nice read.
