PBoC Pertimbangkan Naikan Cadangan Emas, Impor Emas Mungkin Bertambah

PT. Equityworld Futures - Meningkatnya pendapatan riil dankonsumsi perhiasan merupakan kekuatan pendorong utama dari permintaan Cina. Permintaan investasi yang lebih besar, seiring China terus mengembangkan pasar investasi emas mereka, merupakan sumber dukungan yang lebih lanjut. Akhirnya, kami berharap PBOC China untuk terus menumpuk cadangan emas mereka, memberikansaham logam yang rendah cadangan devisa yang besar.
Sebaliknya, kita melihat kendala pada produksi emas China dan, sebagai hasilnya, kami mengharapkan gap yang tumbuh antara suplai dan permintaan domestik, sehingga kebutuhan untuk impor bisa tumbuh. Dalam encana lima tahun (FYP) ke-12 yang meliputi 2010-15, pemerintah menetapkan target 420-450 ton produksi emas pada tahun 2015, yang menggamparkan pertumbuhan tahunan sebesar 3-5%. Hal tersebut terpenuhi dengan mudah untuk produksi 2014 yang diperkirakan sebesar 461,8 ton oleh GFMS sementara Asosiasi Emas Cina memperkirakan bahwa produksi H1 15mencapai 228,7 ton. Selama lima tahun ke depan, kita melihat kenaikan terbatas pada tingkat pertumbuhan produksi dan, sebagai hasilnya, kami memperkirakan kenaikan tahunan sebesar 4% dalam produksi.
Di tingkat perkiraan ini, China akan memproduksi lebih dari 570 ton emas pada tahun 2020; Namun, ini masih akan membuat permintaan impor meningkat dari 511 ton pada 2014 ke 912 ton pada 2020, atau meningkat hampir 80%. Faktor pembatas utama yang kita lihat dalam produksi emas China adalah cadangan domestik. Cina adalah salah satu produsen emas terbesar di dunia, namun ada beberapa pertanyaan mengenai cadangan tambangnya.
Pemerintah China memperkirakan bahwa cadangan tambang dalam negeri menjadi antara 8000 -9,000 ton. Namun, US Geological Survey memperkirakan cadangan emas China hanya sebesar 1.900 ton. Dalam kedua kasus, China memproduksi dalam tingkat yang tinggi untuk cadangan tambangnya, dengan produksi tahunan 70% lebih tinggi dari Australia, yang mana merupakan negara dengan cadangan terbesar.(sdm)

Data ekonomi yang kuat bisa mendorong The Fed untuk menaikkan suku lebih cepat daripada proyeksi, ini menyakiti aset non-bunga seperti emas dan dapat meningkatkan mata uang dolar.
Laporan non-farm payroll AS yang akan dirilis hari ini hanya beberapa hari menjelang pertemuan kebijakan The Fed pada 16-17 September mendatang.

Emas Capai Level Tertinggi dalam Lebih dari Enam Minggu Terkait Fed

CHINESE Gold Reserves

PT. Equityworld Futures - China shocked the bullion market by declaring today its official gold holdings for the first time in 6 years - the surprise was less that they had done so, and more at the incredibly small figure which is less than half the market consensus. China last reported a figure of 1054 tonnes in April 2009 which has risen to only 1658 tonnes today - we don't believe the figure, but we struggle to understand the motivation for down-playing it.
With only 1658 tonnes of gold reserves this would put China in 5th position behind the US (8133 tonnes), Germany (3383 tonnes), Italy (2451 tonnes) and France (2435 tonnes). As a country with the world's largest economy by some measures, one would have expected they would be well north of the German figure really. So what is at play here ...
China is seeking a place at top table in financial markets by having its currency accepted under IMF rules (the so-called Special Drawing Rights) at a meeting to be held in October - in other words, to have the Yuan included by Central banks around the world as a reserve currency. As part of this process, China would need to fully declare its gold reserves ; in that sense the timing is as expected - its just the amount that makes no sense.
Secondly, China is struggling with an equity market in freefall and some have suggested that the timing of the declaration is to give comfort to domestic investors that their reserves are size-able ... but that makes no sense either, because they aren't !
The third explanation - and here we move into the under-world of conspiracies, is that China wants to downplay gold as part of its reserves - especially as they are world's top buyers both for domestic jewellery and to top up their official reserves (yes they are also the top producers but they are significant net buyers). This is to say that China may be adopting the reverse of the UK policy of the late 1990's where it telegraphed in advance to the world its intentions to sell most of its gold reserves - thereby prompting a fall in prices to a 21 year low ... thank you Gordon Brown.
I would suspect a decision has already been made by the IMF in principal about the Yuan joining the US dollar as a reserve currency (although I have no proof of that), effectively seeking to fill a void in reserves as Central Banks dessert the Euro ... and it does therefore need to overstate its gold holdings.
There is an apocryphal story about the Chinese Premier on a state visit to Paris who was asked what he thought about the French Revolution ... "Too early to say" was his reply ... which caused a guffaw amongst observers who were aware of China having an uber-long term view on things (actually he misunderstood the question !) ... perhaps they are p[laying the long game both with regards to the economy and with regards to declaring its hand fully and openly on gold.

Fed Says Job Gains Pick Up, Staying on Track for 2015 Rate Rise

PT. Equityworld Futures - central bank on track to raise interest rates this year for the first time in almost a decade.
“Economic activity has been expanding moderately,” the Federal Open Market Committee said in a statement Wednesday in Washington. “The pace of job gains picked up,” it said, and “underutilization of labor resources diminished somewhat” since their last meeting in April.
Separately, Fed officials maintained their forecast for the benchmark interest rate at the end of 2015, while lowering it for next year.
Policy makers predicted the rate will rise to 0.625 percent this year, according to their median estimate. That implies two quarter-point increases. Next year, they expect the rate to climb to 1.625 percent, lower than a March forecast of 1.875 percent.
A rebound in job growth is giving Fed officials reason to look beyond a first-quarter economic slowdown as they consider when to tighten policy. At the same time, inflation remains below their target, and central bankers say the timing of a rate increase depends on how economic data unfold.
“The committee expects inflation to rise gradually toward 2 percent over the medium term as the labor market improves further and the transitory effects of earlier declines in energy and import prices dissipate,” according to the statement.

Gold at 3-week low on stronger U.S. data, Greece optimism

PT. Equityworld Futures - Gold fell to a three-week low on Wednesday as data showed the U.S. private sector added more jobs than expected in May and prospects increased of a debt deal for Greece.

U.S. private employers added 201,000 jobs, above the 165,000 in April and economists' estimate of a 200,000 gain.

Spot gold was down 0.7 percent at $1,185.56 an ounce by 2:56 p.m. EDT (1856 GMT) after falling more than 1 percent to the lowest since May 11 at $1,179.43. U.S. gold futures for August delivery settled down $9.50 at $1,184.90.

Gold fell despite the U.S. dollar hitting its lowest against the euro in over two weeks after the European Central Bank kept monetary policy steady. European shares turned lower but U.S. stocks extended gains, a source of pressure for gold prices, after the Federal Reserve's Beige Book showed U.S. economic activity expanded from early April to late May.

Gold Futures Rebound From 6 Week Low Amid China Stimulus Bets


PT. Equityworld Futures - Gold futures recovered from a six-week low amid speculation that weaker economic growth will prompt officials to add to stimulus in China, which rivals India as the world’s top bullion buyer.
Futures are rebounding after three weeks of declines. The Federal Reserve has damped speculation that it will delay boosting interest rates. Traders are awaiting the April U.S. payrolls report on Friday for more signals on the timing of increases for borrowing costs. Higher rates drive investors to favor assets that pay interest, such as bonds, curbing gold’s appeal as a store of value, since it generally offers returns only through price gains.
On the Comex in New York, gold futures for June delivery rose 1 percent to settle at $1,186.80 an ounce at 1:47 p.m. On May 1, the price touched $1,168.40, the lowest for a most-active contract since March 20.
Employers in the U.S. added 225,000 workers last month, up from 126,000 in March, according to the median estimate in a Bloomberg survey of economists before the Labor Department report on May 8. The unemployment rate may decline to 5.4 percent from 5.5 percent.

Gold Futures Slump Most in Six Weeks as U.S. Home Sales Jump

PT. Equityworld Futures - Gold futures fell the most in six weeks as signs of a recovery in the U.S. economy curbed demand for the precious metal as an alternative asset. Silver dropped to the lowest since mid-March.
Sales of previously owned homes jumped in March to the highest since September 2013, figures from the National Association of Realtors showed Wednesday. The dollar pared losses against a basket of 10 currencies, while gold dropped to a one-week low. The metal fell 2.5 percent in March as the greenback climbed for the ninth straight month.
Gold futures for June delivery fell 1.3 percent to settle at $1,186.90 an ounce at 1:50 p.m. on the Comex in New York, the biggest drop for a most-active contract since March 6. Earlier, the metal touched $1,185, the lowest since April 14.
Estimated trading for the contract was 261,646 contracts with the highest volume shortly after the housing data was related at 10 a.m.

Gold Fall to Lowest in a Week as Fed Minutes Fuel Rate Concerns

PT. Equityworld Futures - Gold futures fell to a one-week low after minutes from the Federal Reserve’s last meeting fueled concern that policy makers are moving closer to raising interest rates.
Fed officials were split last month over whether they would boost rates in June, the minutes released on Wednesday showed. Holdings in exchange-traded products backed by gold fell to 1,616.1 metric tons, a three-month low, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The dollar rose to the highest in a week against a basket of 10 currencies.
Gold futures are heading for the first weekly decline since March 13. A government report last week showed U.S. jobs growth cooled in March, providing temporary support for prices. Metals traders are scrutinizing economic data for more signals on the timing of rate increases, which cuts the appeal of bullion because it only offers returns through price gains.
Bullion futures for June delivery dropped 0.8 percent to settle at $1,193.60 an ounce at 1:44 p.m. on the Comex in New York. Prices earlier touched $1,192.40, the lowest since April 1.
Silver futures for May delivery fell 1.7 percent to $16.176 an ounce on the Comex, capping a third straight loss. Prices touched $16.105, the lowest since March 20.
Platinum futures for July delivery lost 0.8 percent to $1,157 an ounce on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Palladium futures for June delivery climbed 0.9 percent to $762.40 an ounce, the third gain in four days.

Gold Futures Fall From Seven-Week High as Dollar Strengthens

PT. Equityworld Futures - Gold retreated from the highest in almost seven weeks as the dollar strengthened, reducing demand for the metal as an alternative investment.
The greenback headed for the biggest gain since mid-March against a basket of six currencies, a day after a private report showing expansion in U.S. service industries eased concerns on the economy. Holdings in exchange-traded products backed by gold fell 1.8 metric tons on Monday to 1,618.7 tons, the lowest since Jan. 15, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Gold dropped for three straight quarters amid speculation that an improving U.S. economy is pushing the Federal Reserve closer to raising interest rates for the first time since 2006. Richmond Fed President Jeffrey Lacker, who suggested on March 31 that the case for boosting rates will remain “strong” at the June meeting, said Friday that a report showing slower U.S. hiring didn’t alter his view on policy.
Gold futures for June delivery fell 0.7 percent to settle at $1,210.60 an ounce at 1:44 p.m. on the Comex in New York. The price reached $1,224.50 on Monday, the highest since Feb. 17, after U.S. payrolls data fell short of economists’ projections in an April 3 report.
Silver futures for May delivery slid 1.6 percent to $16.84 an ounce on the Comex, the second loss in three sessions.

Gold Declines as Some Fed Officials Favor Raising Rates in June

PT. Equityworld Futures - Gold declined after minutes from the Federal Reserve’s last meeting showed some policy makers favored raising U.S. interest rates as soon as June.
The precious metal has fallen out of favor with investors who anticipate that rates will rise this year. Holdings in exchange-traded products backed by gold are at the lowest since mid-January, while U.S. government data shows open interest for New York futures and options has declined in the past two months.
Gold for immediate delivery fell 0.8 percent to $1,199.26 an ounce at 2:39 p.m. New York time, heading for the biggest loss in a week.
The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index, which tracks the U.S. currency against 10 major peers, pared losses after the Fed minutes were released. A stronger greenback cuts the appeal of precious metals as an alternative investment.
