Gold Halts Two-Day Climb as Investors Weigh Cut to U.S. Stimulus

Bloomberg (10/12) -- Gold snapped two days of gains as investors assessed whether the U.S. Federal Reserve will reduce stimulus after signs of improvement in the labor market, with a policy maker saying that the odds of tapering have increased. Bullion for immediate delivery fell as much as 0.2 percent to $1,238.16 an ounce, and traded at $1,238.99 at 8:40 a.m. in Singapore. Fed Bank of St. Louis President James Bullard, who votes on policy this year, said yesterday the odds of tapering bond purchases have risen along with gains in the labor market. Gold slumped 26 percent this year, heading for its first annual loss in 13 years, on speculation that the Fed will start scaling back its $85 billion in monthly bond buying as the economy improves. Data last week showed that U.S. payrolls rose 203,000 in November, beating expectations. The Federal Open Market Committee next meets Dec. 17-18. Gold has rebounded from $1,210.61 on Dec. 6, the lowest since July 5, on signs of increased demand in China, the second-largest consumer. Volumes for bullion of 99.99 percent purity on the Shanghai Gold Exchange, the benchmark spot contract, rose to 14,063 kilograms yesterday, the most since Nov. 28. Gold for February delivery gained 0.3 percent to $1,238.30 an ounce on the Comex in New York, rising for a second day. Trading volume was 61 percent below the average for the past 100 days at this time, data compiled by Bloomberg showed. Spot silver declined 0.4 percent to $19.7921 an ounce, halting a two-day advance, after touching a one-week high of $19.9972 yesterday. Platinum lost 0.2 percent to $1,372.15 an ounce, while palladium was little changed at $736.03 an ounce.

Gold ends with a gain as traders mull Fed comments

SAN FRANCISCO, MarketWatch (10/12) — Gold futures settled a bit higher on Monday, rebounding after losses over the past two trading sessions, as traders mulled the timing of a pullback in the Federal Reserve’s bond-buying program following the latest comments from central bank officials. Gold for February delivery tacked on $5.20, or 0.4%, to settle at $1,234.20 an ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange. March silver closed up 18 cents, or 0.9%, at $19.70 an ounce. In a speech Monday, Jeffrey Lacker, president of the Richmond Federal Reserve Bank, said the Fed will discuss pulling back its asset purchase program at its meeting next week. Separately, St. Louis Fed President James Bullard said the best move may be a small December taper. Gold prices briefly added to gains after news of the Fed comments, then pared gains again before Comex prices settled for Monday’s regular trading session. The central bank’s bond-buying program, also known as quantitative easing, has helped support gold prices. The program contributed to a weaker dollar, which in turn buoyed prices for dollar-denominated gold. But “gold’s price gains over the last two sessions, in the face of news indicating that a QE taper may come sooner rather than later, may mean that the metal has finally priced in such an event,” said Brien Lundin, editor of Gold Newsletter. “In short, we may have run out of sellers.” “And with the bearish side of the boat so overcrowded, the gold market appears primed for a significant short-covering rebound,” he said. News that Richard Fisher, president of the Dallas Federal Reserve Bank, backed tapering the central bank’s QE program “at the earliest opportunity,” emerged after the close of gold trading on Comex. Prices for February gold in electronic trading climbed above the settlement price shortly after — to $1,236.30 an ounce. Bullard also indicated that the Fed could pause tapering if inflation falls — “indicating they haven’t forgotten their dual mandate,” said Colin Cieszynski, senior market analyst at CMC Markets. “They won’t taper at any cost and won’t let deflation take hold.” Fisher’s comments, along with Lacker’s and Bullard’s, are the last official comments from the central bank until after its Dec. 17-18 policy committee meeting.

The index fell less than 0.1 percent last week, snapping an eight-week rally that was the longest in almost a decade, as improving economic data spurred concern that the Fed will reduce its stimulus sooner than expected.
