Gold steadies on softer dollar, views on Fed’s rate rise

A vintage country music song with lyrics about romance holds true, as it turns out, for the Federal Reserve.

Although most investors know that the oil effect is going to disappear, the fact that each month’s headline inflation number comes in low does have an impact of on market psychology. “We have to keep an eye on where the goal posts are”.

There is nearly no doubt that Fed Chair Janet Yellen and the FOMC members had to feel lousy that the financial markets tanked after the Fed announced no rate hike and no rate hike on the immediate horizon. But the Fed policymakers took a pass on hiking rates in September, and there are only 2 more meetings scheduled in 2015. At the market low, the main developed economy equity markets were more than 10 per cent below their levels at the start of the summer.

“Where a banking organization supervised by the Federal Reserve provides services to a business or individual that is an administrator or exchange of a digital currency, the Federal Reserve seeks to ensure that the banking organization fully complies with all applicable regulations”, Yellen stated.

The Commerce Department releases wholesale inventories for August.

“In that context, it will make sense to gradually move away from the extraordinary stimulus that got us here”, Williams said in remarks prepared for delivery to the conference. “The hedge funds have been either unwinding short positions or taking new long positions as a hedge to Fed inaction”.

His successor, Yellen, has been hinting for a while that a rate rise in on the cards while the timing remains elusive. Back in 2013, when then Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke suggested the central bank would soon wind down it’s bond-buying program, currencies from India’s rupee to Turkey’s lira plunged.

He also said that it is OK if financial markets don’t fully anticipate rate increases.

That is why in is time to rethink and challenge the presumption of a need for and superior outcome from the institution of central banking, whether in the United States or anywhere else in the world. That includes with the upcoming meeting October. 27-28. There, we see that the Fed itself expects GDP growth in a range of 2 to 2.3% for each year between now and 2018 – well below our economy’s long-term average. One of the best real-time gauges of the so-called white collar sector comes this week from the Institute for Supply Management. China and India account for more than 50% of global gold demand. In the summer of 2008, if you were a tourist shopping in Rome, you would have paid $1.60 for every euro.
