Emas Catat Penurunan Terpanjang di Enam Bulan Terakhir

PT. Equityworld Futures - Emas mengalami penurunan ke-5 beruntun, kemerosotan terpanjang sejak bulan November lalu seiring spekulasi bahwa Federal Reserve akan segera menaikkan suku bunga pada awal bulan depan yg dapat memicu penguatan dollar, mengurangi permintaan tuk logam tersebut sebagai aset alternatif. Indeks saham pertambangan jatuh ke-5 minggu terendah.

Indeks mata uang dollar naik pada level tertinggi sejak bulan Maret lalu terkait dua pejabat Fed meng-isyaratkan pengetatan prospek kebijakan moneter. Suku bunga yg lebih tinggi akan menekan daya tarik aset non-bunga seperti emas. Pada data bea cukai Swiss menunjukkan bahwa ekspor emas ke India dan China, sebagai pembeli terbesar, menurun pada bulan April dari tahun sebelumnya.

Emas anjllok sebesar 1,6 % (satu koma enam persen) pada pekan lalu, memperpanjang penurunan pada level tertinggi dalam satu tahun terakhir seiring risalah pertemuan bank sentral pada bulan April menunjukkan bahwa kenaikan suku bunga akan lebih cepat dari pada yg diperkirakan sebelumnya. San Francisco Fed John Williams berkata pada hari Senin terjadi 2 sampai 3 kali kenaikan pada tahun ini masih benar, sentimen disebutkan oleh Presiden Fed Philadelphia Patrick Harker.

Emas berjangka untuk pengiriman bulan Juni turun 1,8 % untuk menetap pada level $ 1,229.20 per ons pada pukul 1:40 siang di Comex New York. Yang merupakan penurunan terpanjang sejak tanggal 6 November lalu. (knc)

Emas Anjlok seiring Indikasi Kenaikan Suku Bunga Fed

Seirama dgn rilis dari pertemuan April yang menyarankan kenaikan bisa dilakukan, Presiden Fed New York William Dudley berkata pada hari Kamis bahwa kenaikan pada jangka waktu Juni s/d Juli merupakan hal yang wajar, sementara Presiden Fed Richmond Jeffrey Lacker mengatakan ada kasus yg sangat kuat untuk menaikkan suku bunga bulan depan.

Gold Futures Rise as U.S. Consumer Sentiment Ebbs; Silver Jumps

PT. Equityworld Futures - Gold futures rose for the second straight day as weaker U.S. consumer confidence added to concerns that the economy is slowing, boosting demand for the precious metal as a haven. Silver jumped the most in four weeks.

The Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan preliminary sentiment index decreased to 93.6 from a final January reading of 98.1 that was the highest since the start of 2004, figures showed Friday. A report on Thursday revealed that sales at U.S. retailers fell more than forecast in January.

Gold dropped 29 percent in the previous two years, posting consecutive annual losses for the first time since 1998. Faster U.S. expansion prompted some investors to lose faith in the metal as a store of value amid speculation that the Federal Reserve would raise interest rates. Prices rebounded 8 percent in January as slowing foreign economies cast doubt that American growth would remain resilient.

Gold futures for April delivery climbed 0.5 percent to settle at $1,227.10 an ounce at 1:38 p.m. on the Comex in New York. Yesterday, the price rose 0.1 percent.

This week, the price dropped 0.6 percent, the third straight decline.

Silver futures for March delivery jumped 3 percent to $17.294 an ounce, the biggest gain for a most-active contract since Jan. 16.

Gold Rises for First Time in Three Days on China Monetary Easing

PT. Equityworld Futures - Gold futures rose for the first time in three days as China took steps to shore up economic growth amid signs of a deepening slowdown, boosting demand for the metal as a store of value.
China reduced the amount of cash lenders must set aside as reserves in a bid to increase liquidity, following capital outflows and weaker manufacturing. Gold pared earlier gains of as much as 1 percent after a report showed U.S. service industries expanded at a faster pace last month.
The metal in January jumped the most in three years as concern mounted that Greece would exit the euro area and officials in Europe and Asia announced stimulus to bolster stagnating economies. Imports by India, the world™s second-biggest user, surged in the 10 months ended Jan 31 after the government eased curbs on purchases.
On the Comex in New York. gold futures for April delivery rose 0.3 percent to settle at $1,264.50 an ounce at 1:51 p.m. Aggregate trading was 25 percent below the 100-day average, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The price fell 1.5 percent in the previous two days on concern that U.S. interest rates will increase soon.
Last year, gold posted a consecutive annual decline for the first time since 1998 as the U.S. economy gained traction and equities surged to a record.

Gold Slides as European Central Bank Snubs Bullion Purchases


Gold futures dropped after the European Central Bank said it wouldn™t consider adding to bullion purchases.
The ECB discussed buying all assets except the metal as it plans to reassess stimulus next quarter, President Mario Draghi said today. The comments come after Executive Board member Yves Mersch said last month that the bank could Å“theoretically buy bullion.
Gold has rebounded 6.8 percent since touching a four-year low on Nov. 7 amid speculation that lower prices would start to attract increased physical purchases, including from central banks. Investor demand for precious metals has waned amid a rally for equities and the dollar and as inflation remained low.
Gold futures for February delivery slipped 0.1 percent to settle at $1,207.70 an ounce at 1:43 p.m. on the Comex in New York, dropping for the second time in three days.

Gold Retreat as Dollar Holds Advance Before ECB Policy Meeting


Gold retreated as the dollar traded near a five-year high before a European Central Bank meeting today that may give indications on further stimulus.
The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index was little changed before data due tomorrow that™s forecast to show U.S. jobs growth and amid speculation ECB policy makers will signal more stimulus. President Mario Draghi said last month they are open to buying a wide variety of assets.
The greenback has strengthened as the Federal Reserve considers raising borrowing costs while other central banks take steps to spur growth. A stronger dollar and higher U.S. interest rates reduce gold™s allure because the metal generally offers investors returns only through price gains.
Gold for February delivery fell 0.5 percent to $1,202.20 an ounce by 7:18 a.m. on the Comex in New York. Bullion for immediate delivery declined 0.6 percent to $1,202.25 in London, according to Bloomberg generic pricing.

Dollar Probes 120 Yen on U.S. Growth as Euro Traders Await ECB


The dollar strengthened to within 0.1 percent of 120 yen, reaching the highest level since July 2007, as analysts forecast that U.S. job growth will accelerate, boosting the economy while Japan™s remains mired in recession.
While the U.S. currency is being buoyed by signs of strength in the American economy, the yen and the euro are weakening as their central banks expand stimulus measures to boost growth. Europe™s shared currency touched a two-year low today as traders awaited a monetary-policy decision from the European Central Bank. Australia™s dollar slid for a sixth day after Goldman Sachs Group Inc. forecast it would decline to 79 U.S. cents.
The dollar rose 0.1 percent to 119.93 yen at 12:10 p.m. London time, after rising to 119.98, the strongest level since July 2007. The U.S. currency was little changed at $1.2313 per euro after appreciating to $1.2296, the strongest since August 2012. The yen traded at 147.66 per euro.
About $3 billion in options contracts with strikes at 120 yen per dollar expire today, according to data compiled by Bloomberg, potentially limiting the decline of the Japanese currency. The greenback appreciated 14 percent against the yen this year as the Fed moved closer to raising interest rates while the Bank of Japan increased the scale of its bond purchases as recently as October.

Gold Retreats From Five-Week High on Outlook for Stronger Dollar


Gold retreated after the biggest one-day rally in more than a year as investors weighed the outlook for a stronger dollar against a rebound in oil prices. Silver, platinum and palladium dropped.
Bullion for immediate delivery declined as much as 0.7 percent to $1,203.45 an ounce, and traded at $1,205.47 at 8:55 a.m. in Singapore, according to Bloomberg generic pricing. The metal rallied yesterday to $1,221.43, the highest level since Oct. 30, after climbing from a three-week low of $1,142.88 as some investors ended bets on lower prices.
Gold advanced 3.8 percent yesterday, the most since Sept. 2013, as crude recovered from a five-year low and the Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index fell from the highest since 2009. The gauge of the U.S. currency remains 8.3 percent higher this year amid expectations that the Federal Reserve will start to raise interest rates next year, hurting gold™s allure. Assets in the SPDR Gold Trust, the largest exchange-traded product backed by the metal, shrank 10 percent in 2014 to a six-year low.
Gold dropped for a third month in November as the Fed assessed the timing of rate rises, while other central banks added to stimulus, strengthening the dollar. Policy makers at the European Central Bank and Bank of England meet Dec. 4.

Dollar Falls From 5-Year High on Speculation It Gained Too Fast


The dollar declined from the highest level in more than five years amid speculation the currency may have strengthened too much, too fast.
The greenback slipped versus most of its 16 major peers after a gauge of the Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index™s relative strength exceeded 70 on Nov. 28, a level some traders consider a signal an asset may reverse course. Russia™s ruble led a drop by some commodity-producing nations™ currencies as oil reached a five-year low. The yen gained after weakening to a seven-year low as Moody™s Investors Service cut Japan™s credit rating.
Bloomberg™s dollar index, which tracks the greenback against the currencies of 10 trading partners, sank 0.3 percent to 1,103.69 at 4:11 p.m. in New York. It closed on Nov. 28 at 1,106.90, the highest level since March 2009, as it gained for a sixth consecutive week.

WTI Crude Gains a Second Day as Investors Weigh OPEC Output Cut

West Texas Intermediate crude rose for a second day as investors weighed the likelihood OPEC will cut production when it meets in Vienna next week.
Futures advanced as much as 1.2 percent in New York. The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries may reduce its output target by no more than 500,000 barrels a day, Bank of America Corp. said in a note yesterday. Iran will protect its share of global sales and can double exports in two months if sanctions are removed, Oil Minister Bijan Namdar Zanganeh said, according to the ministry’s news website Shana.

Natural Gas Rises to 5-Month High on Heating-Fuel Demand

Natural gas futures rose in New York to the highest price in almost five months as a blast of arctic air spurred heating-fuel demand.
Prices alternated between gains and losses before ending the session up 2.7 percent. The government’s Global Forecast System midday update showed that temperatures will be below normal in the eastern U.S. next week before moving closer to seasonal norms Nov. 30 through Dec. 4, according to Frontier Weather Inc. Gas demand this week jumped to an eight-month high as temperatures tumbled, according to LCI Energy Insight data.
“A very cold start to the winter has resurfaced repressed market memories of last winter, with fickle short-term weather forecasts supporting the ongoing tug-of-war in natural gas prices,” said Teri Viswanath, director of commodities strategy at BNP Paribas SA in New York. “While the midday model runs showed a slightly warmer version of the 11- to 15-day forecast period, there appears sufficient cold weather to entice buyers.”
Natural gas for December delivery rose 11.8 cents to settle at $4.489 per million British thermal units on the New York Mercantile Exchange, the highest close since June 25. Prices rose to $4.503 and dropped to $4.25 during the session. Volume for all futures traded was more than double the 100-day average at 3:48 p.m. Prices are up 22 percent from a year ago.

Price Retreat

Gas retreated during the session as futures faced resistance in the $4.50 range, said Ellen Stamm, global natural gas analyst at Schneider Electric in Louisville, Kentucky. It will take colder weather to break through that level, she said.
December $4.75 calls were the most active options in electronic trading, falling 0.6 cent to 2.3 cents on volume of 2,341 as of 3:48 p.m.
The weather model for the 11- to 15-day period “averages a couple degrees warmer than normal for just about everywhere east of the Rockies except for the Northeast, which averages nearer to normal,” said Jim Southard, meteorologist with Frontier in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
The expected temperature range in St. Louis on Dec. 2 is now 43 degrees Fahrenheit (6 Celsius) to 51, up from the previously forecast range of 34 to 41, he said.
The noon model showed no significant changes in the forecast for the next week, Southard said. A surge of polar air from Canada will push from the Great Plains to Florida Nov. 25 through Nov. 29, with the Midwest seeing the strongest intensity of the cold, according to MDA Weather Services in Gaithersburg, Maryland. About 49 percent of U.S. households use gas for heating.

Inventory Report

“This is an earlier cold snap and when they have to eat into storage earlier than they expected, that can make the market a little bit nervous,” Chris Ellsworth, fuel branch chief with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s office of enforcement.
Gas stockpiles fell 17 billion cubic feet in the week ended Nov. 14 to 3.594 trillion, topping the five-year average decline of 10 billion for the period, the U.S. Energy Information Administration report showed. Analyst estimates showed an expected drop of 11 billion, as did a survey of Bloomberg users.
A deficit to weekly five-year average inventory levels widened to 6.4 percent from 6.2 percent the previous week, expanding for the first time since March.
Supplies were 5.3 percent below year-earlier inventories, compared with 5.7 percent in last week’s report.

Bigger Decline

Early data indicates that the stockpile decline in next week’s report will jump to 150 billion cubic feet, given the blast of arctic air sweeping most of the lower 48 states, according to Viswanath and Stamm. The five-year average drop for the seven days ending Nov. 21 is 6 billion.
Spectra Corp.’s Algonquin gas pipeline in the Northeast curtailed 50 percent of secondary nominations on the system at the end of last week and that rose to about 80 percent as it got colder this week, said Valeria Annibali, energy industry analyst at FERC’s enforcement office. That signals less gas was available for power generators as more pipeline capacity was used to serve firm contract holders, such as distribution companies for households, she said.
Pipeline data this week also showed a notable shift in gas flows, with the Marcellus shale in Pennsylvania and West Virginia meeting a bigger share of Northeast demand while Louisiana and Gulf flows stopped in the mid-Atlantic region, she said.
Gas demand jumped to 111.3 billion cubic feet on Nov. 18, the most for any day since Feb. 11, data show from LCI Energy in El Paso, Texas. Gas deliveries for the next day jumped to a seven-month high of $10.78 per million Btu on the day-ahead market on the Intercontinental Exchange. Algonquin prices today closed at $5.87.
“You expect prices like that in the depths of winter,” Ellsworth said.

Minyak WTI Melemah Setelah Persediaan Minyak Mentah AS Menguat


Minyak mentah West Texas Intermediate (WTI) turun untuk hari keempat setelah persediaan minyak mentah AS naik, dan investor mengkaji kemungkinan pemangkasan produksi minyak OPEC.
Minyak berjangka melemah 0,4% di New York. Stok minyak mentah AS naik sebesar 2,6 juta barel pekan lalu menjadi 381.100.000, menurut laporan Energy Information Administration (EIA). Organisasi Negara-negara Pengekspor Minyak (OPEC) harus memangkas kelebihan pasokan dan mengurangi target produksi, Gubernur OPEC Libya Samir Kamal mengatakan kemarin.
Minyak telah merosot ke bear market setelah Amerika Serikat meningkatkan suku bunga tertinggi dalam lebih dari tiga dekade di tengah tanda-tanda melemahnya permintaan. Memimpin anggota OPEC menolak permintaan untuk mengurangi produksi karena produsen minyak yang lebih kecil seperti Venezuela mencari tindakan untuk mendukung harga sebelum pertemuan 27 November mendatang di Wina.
Minyak mentah WTI untuk pengiriman Desember, yang berakhir hari ini, kehilangan 33 sen menjadi $ 74,25 per barel di perdagangan elektronik New York Mercantile Exchange dan berada di level $ 74,28 pada pukul 10:48 pagi waktu Sydney. Kontrak bulan Januari yang lebih aktif turun 23 sen menjadi $ 74,27. Volume semua berjangka yang diperdagangkan adalah sekitar 46% di bawah rata-rata 100 hari. Harga WTI telah turun 25% dalam tahun ini.
Sementara minyak mentah Brent untuk pengiriman Januari turun 37 sen, atau 0,5%, ke $ 78,10 per barel di bursa ICE Futures Europe exchange kemarin. Minyak mentah patokan Eropa mengakhiri sesi di level $ 3,60 lebih besar dari WTI untuk bulan yang sama.
OPEC, yang memasok sekitar 40% dari minyak dunia, memompa 30.970.000 barel per hari pada bulan Oktober, melampaui target produksi kolektif dari 30 juta barel untuk bulan kelima berturut-turut, data yang dikumpulkan oleh Bloomberg menunjukkan.(frk)

Gold Open Interest Rises to 22-Month High as Short Bets Climb


Holdings in gold contracts reached the highest in almost 22 months as investors added to bets that prices will drop. Futures fell.
The aggregate number of futures contracts yet to be closed, liquidated or delivered rose to 459,657 yesterday, the highest since Jan. 22, 2013. Money managers have boosted their short wagers to the highest in four weeks, while long holdings dropped to the lowest since January, government data show.
Investor appetite for bullion has ebbed as the dollar jumped to the highest since 2009 against a 10-currency basket and the Federal Reserve moved closer to its first U.S. interest-rate increase in eight years, cutting demand for the metal as an inflation hedge. Gold futures slumped to the lowest in four years this month, heading for a second straight annual loss.
Gold futures for December delivery lost 0.3 percent to settle at $1,193.90 an ounce today on the Comex in New York. The metal fell to $1,130.40 on Nov. 7, the lowest since April 2010.
Aggregate trading was more than double the 100-day average for this time, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
Bullion has declined for two straight months, the longest slump this year, as U.S. equities surged to a record and inflation failed to accelerate. Fed officials said last month that lower energy costs may hold down consumer costs in the near term.
