Price Outlook of Gold for 2021-2050*** THIS IS NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE. DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH AND FORM YOUR OWN OPINIONS *** 10Y Treasury and Gold's Price: Gold is correlated strongly (92%) with the 10Y Treasury. During 2020, during the depths of the pandemic, we saw 10Y rates under 0.5%. This was the primary catalyst for Gold to find its new ATH during August of 2020. This strong correlation makes it necessary to understand the primary drivers of Federal Reserve policy and actions. Miss-guided Inflation to Gold Correlation: Inflation is the most commonly purported catalyst behind Gold's price movements. This remains true, however the present narrative surrounding inflation (and the convoluted way QE finds its way to markets) makes it very difficult for the public to have an understanding of long-term inflationary expectations. Under the current regime, we are in much greater danger of Cyclical Deflation than any significant inflation. Hyper-inflationary rhetoric is silly and I'll not address it seriously. My assertions of inflation and deflation trends rely strongly on the Federal Reserve operating under the laws by which it's presently constituted. This is unlikely to happen in the long term. Federal Reserve Frustrations and Law Breaking/Changing: Within the next 5 years it will become painfully obvious to the Federal Reserve they're incapable of generating true inflation. Once the Fed and the Government resign to this fact, there'll be a proposal to change the Federal Reserve Acts to give the Fed more monetary freedom. The way this affects American Life is in the introduction of a CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency); transforming the Fed from the Lender of last resort into the Spender of all resorts. This will be the true catalyst behind inflationary trades; shifting Gold's closest price correlation from the 10Y rate to the threat of true inflation. Powell's Fed Ending: Jerome Powell is slated for re-appointment early in 2022. I don't think he will be. It's likely the next Chairman (Chairwoman) of the Fed will probably be Lael Brainard. In this case, my above statements are hastened and magnified. Federal Reserve (Monetary Policy Trajectory): The Federal Reserve remains hawkish in the short term. This means short term 10Y rates are unlikely to rise to or above 2% for the next few years. As stated above, under present forces, low rates are bullish for the price of Gold but since rates are already tightly approaching 2% the buy signal for gold will remain neutral until 2023. I don't think Gold make any significant moves, but it will likely maintain its present price with a +/-10% around the 200 day moving average. Price Prediction: I will not be buying more physical gold until either 10Y rates rise and remain above 2% or until the Fed introduces a CBDC. I don't see either of these catalysts forming until 2023. Until 2023, it's best to play the short-term averages and trajectories in the Paper Gold markets. Depending upon the economic outcomes of the next few years, Gold could vary wildly in price. If strong deflation persists, $500 Gold is not out of the question. If Laws change and a CBDC is introduced, the price of Gold could easily rise above $10,000 (or other denominations). Unconsidered Catalysts (BASEL III): BASEL III is close to being enacted. I have not been able to research all of the components of BASEL III's changes. However, one of the major changes (along with reinstating Gold as a Tier I asset for collateralization purposes) is making unallocated positions impossible. How BASEL III does this is not clear to me but I will post an update once I have a better understanding of this. Removal of unallocated paper positions in Gold would result in a precipitous rise in Gold's price if the assumption of many Goldbugs (that gold is heavily manipulated through paper markets (ETF's and Bullion Banks)) are true. This isn't that ridiculous an idea considering some statements given by Greenspan and Bernanke. I'll go into details on these statements in future ideas. Short Term Prediction (Now to 2023): NEUTRAL with a price of Gold ranging from $1,700.00 to $1,900.00 . Long Term Prediction (2023 to 2050): REMARKABLY BULLISH with a price of Gold ranging from $50,000.00 (eq) to $100,000 (eq). (where "eq" allows for future U.S. dollar equivalents)

Fed QE Tapering Talks Reaching A Crescendo (05 August 2021)Just a couple of days before the release of the long-awaited U.S. nonfarm jobs report, several Federal Reserve committee members expressed their hawkish views on an QE tapering. Fed Vice Chairman sees QE tapering to start this year. During his speech at the Peterson Institute for International Economics yesterday, Fed Vice Chairman Richard Clarida said that together with the other committee members, they expect the U.S. economy to continue recovering towards the central bank’s “substantial further progress” standard although this was not met in July. Also, Clarida highlighted that if his “baseline outlook does materialize”, then he expects the announcement for quantitative easing (QE) tapering to be made later this year. With the progress made in recent months, he believes the Fed is ready for a first round of tapering by year-end. In regard to interest rate, Clarida explained that the three conditions required before the Fed considers a rate hike are: Labor market conditions reaching levels consistent with the Fed’s assessments of maximum employment Annual inflation rising to 2% Annual inflation is on track to moderately exceed 2% for some time And in a scenario whereby the Fed’s economic projections realized over the forecast horizon, Clarida believes that the three conditions will be met by the end of 2022, thus anticipating a rate hike in 2023. Other committee members in favor of carrying out QE tapering soon. Fed committee member Robert Kaplan said in an interview yesterday that the Fed should start tapering QE soon and gradually as this will give the central bank more flexibility in the future in terms of interest rate adjustments. He also highlighted that continued progress in the job market for July and August should warrant an early tapering of QE. Another Fed committee member James Bullard also supported the idea of an early tapering of QE during an interview with the following reasons: Economic growth in 2021 will likely exceed the central bank’s projection of 4% Unemployment rate has declined much faster than projected Annual inflation for 2021 will likely surpass the projected 1.8% Hence, Bullard believes it will not be an issue meeting the criteria to get QE tapering started.

The week ahead on Dollar. A BIG ONEDollar started this week's trading on a softer tone following an indecisive yet more dovish than expected FED meeting last week. It all depends now on the PMI numbers this week, which is expected to come out as positive. However, any lower than expected numbers should be bearish on the Dollar as this should confirm doubts of slower recovery and economic growth resulting from Delta variant. We also keep an eye on the NFP numbers at the end of this week, anything figure higher than 1 million new jobs should be considered highly bullish, and this would add extra pressure on Jerome Powell to at least specify a tapering roadmap at Jackson Hole's symposium. Any lower than 600k should again confirm slower growth and hence the sweet spot to me is in between 600k - 1kk that should give low to moderate volatility on the US dollar. Technically, USD still has a bearish target at 91.50 points roughly which could slowly be reached during this week's trading as it is supported with a negative divergence with the breakout below the rising bearish wedge.

EURUSD Continues to Strengthen Following the FED Meeting The recent breakout of the EURUSD above the descending channel was bolstered yesterday following the July policy meeting of the Federal Reserve. Jerome Powell and his colleagues from the FOMC did not bring anything new to the table, which weakened the greenback in the short term. The price action is currently probing the 200-day MA (in purple). The next closest resistance can be found at the 23.6 per cent Fibonacci retracement level at 1.18892.

FED: Recovery Heading Towards The Right Direction (29 July 2021)The Fed’s decision. The U.S. Federal Reserve delivered no surprise during their monetary policy meeting earlier today as widely expected. The Federal Funds Rate was held unchanged at the target range of 0-0.25% while quantitative easing remains at $120 billion per month ($80 billion of Treasury securities and $40 billion of agency mortgage-backed securities). Optimistic tone on U.S. economic recovery in the rate statement. Although no actions were carried out, the Fed did expressed signs of optimism on the U.S. economic recovery in the interest rate statement. The following changes made in the statement indicate so. The sentence: “Amid this progress and strong policy support, indicators of economic activity and employment have strengthened.” has been revised to: “With progress on vaccinations and strong policy support, indicators of economic activity and employment have continued to strengthen.” The change indicates continued recovery in economic activities and employment. The sentence: “The sectors most adversely affected by the pandemic remain weak but have shown improvement.” has been revised to: “The sectors most adversely affected by the pandemic have shown improvement but have not fully recovered.” The change indicates that the sectors most adversely affected by the pandemic have improved since the previous meeting. The sentence: “Since then, the economy has made progress toward these goals, and the Committee will continue to assess progress in coming meetings.” has been added into the latest statement, indicating optimism in the economic recovery. Progress made in economic recovery but still far from full recovery. Despite the optimistic tone sent out by the Fed, the central bank’s Chairman Jerome Powell cautioned during the press conference that the economy is still a distance away from making “substantial further progress” towards the Fed’s goals of maximum employment and price stability. This does not come as a surprise since the U.S. job market is still around 6.3 million jobs away from the pre-pandemic level. Furthermore, Powell highlighted that inflation is expected to remain above the central bank’s target in the upcoming months but not sufficient to trigger a change in monetary policy. On the issue of the recent rise in COVID cases due to the Delta variant, Powell downplayed the negative impact it has on the U.S. economic recovery. He said: “With successive waves of Covid over the past year and some months now, there has tended to be...less in the way of economic implications from each wave, and we will see whether that is the case with the Delta variety,” expressing confidence that the handling of the Delta variant will be more effective than handling COVID-19 when it was first declared a pandemic. Impact on the market. The upbeat tone delivered by the Fed resulted in the market going risk-on, increasing the demand for risky assets and currencies. Thus, the safe haven U.S. dollar weakened against the other major currencies.

Impact of Fed Unchanged Interest Rate and Gold PricesHere I tried to show the movement of the day when Fed announces its unchanged Interest Rate decisions during the last 6 times. As you can see, the gold prices had been quite volatile during the last Fed decision on June the 16th and shed 1.45%. Since then, the yellow metal has not been able to overcome the loss and is in the downward trend. Please note that this is shared for educational and informational purposes only and is not intended for financial decisions. If you like the idea, please like and comment :)

The Australian Dollar Appears OversoldThis week’s Federal Reserve meeting could ignite some activity in the currency market. The Australian Dollar, in particular, has some interesting patterns. First, stochastics on AUDUSD’s weekly chart have dipped to their most oversold level since February 2020. Next, consider how prices have returned to the 0.73 area where they peaked Aug. 31-Sept. 1. This is also near a monthly low from May 2017. Intermarket analysis could be interesting because the Aussie has traditionally followed copper (although that correlation has broken down this year). Given the current rally in copper and ongoing strength in iron ore, this could support the currency. Remember, Australia is a major mining country. Overall, there isn’t much confirmation yet and the Australian economy is still struggling. However, given the Fed’s commitment to low rates and potential topping patterns in the greenback, futures traders may want to keep an eye on the Aussie for a potential turn.

Gold Miners Have Had a Golden CrossThe Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF has one of the most interesting charts in the market. Notice the steady decline from last summer, followed by a bump in the spring. It then gave back almost all those gains but still managed to drag the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) above the 200-day SMA. That results in a strange situation with both SMAs falling – yet still in a bullish sequence. Next, the recent drop erased most but not all the earlier bounce. It has managed to register a higher low (notice the weekly chart below). Third, MACD has turned positive in the last few sessions. Finally, stochastics on the weekly chart show an oversold condition: The other catalyst could be the Federal Reserve because Jerome Powell was more dovish than expected yesterday. The U.S. dollar has trended upward lately, but in March GDX turned higher about two weeks before the greenback rolled over. So we could be at a start of a new pattern, with a dovish Fed lifting precious metals and dragging on the dollar.

Gold has no concrete direction right now! After finishing an uptrend, the chart broke its parallel channel and entered a side way consolidation phase. In this current situation, there is no solid speculation for the future of the chart. The only thing which is possible here is to short when we are near the top and open a long position near the bottom(supporting areas). We should be cautious about tonight’s federal reserve’s statement. That news would make the markets move very extremely! Good luck.

Gold: The Big Picture.- Period of pandemics and uncertainties - Period of high inflation attacks when U.S. economy started falling (all that money kicks-into daily US economy and affect/inflate household spending) --- Same period where money will start flowing EMs & China (Age of EMs starting here because of trillions of Junk-Dollars need to earn something out of the U.S. markets instead of ducking) - Period of 2Ks largest inflation attack (Gold may hit up to 7500$-10000$ then like before when it hit 850$ first time) - Dust setting, but things never gonna be same anymore. Age of Global Hyperinflation, where U.N. will start talking about "rebuilding global monetary system", end of Bretton Wood officially. * Scenario is based on Elliott Wave & current/near-future market structuring, reforms (basel 3, fed bullshits, EMs such as Turkey, etc.), Asia, 1:1000 banking during pandemics, incredible money supply (how US gov't pickpocketing citizens & the world) etc. (My personal view.)

The Dollar Index Breaks Higher - A MirageAfter trading at the highest level since 2002 during the risk-off period when COVID-19 spread worldwide like a wildfire, the US dollar index fell, making lower highs and lower lows from March 2020 through January 2021. The index fell from 103.96 to a low of 89.165, a 14.2% decline in the index that measures the dollar against other world reserve currencies. The Fed tightens without tightening credit The dollar index breaks above a technical level The greenback remains in a medium-term bearish trend The long-term trend is higher Fiat currency moves are a mirage for one critical reason After consolidating around the 90 level from mid-May through mid-June, the dollar index took off on the upside in the aftermath of the latest Fed meeting. While the dollar has moved higher and eclipsed a short-term technical resistance level, the medium-term trend remains bearish. To confuse matters, the long-term trend dating back to 2008 is bullish for the US dollar index. Governments and monetary authorities manage currency markets to provide stability for global financial markets. Meanwhile, the overall foreign exchange market is more than a mirage because it is not readily apparent if the asset class gains or loses value in a larger sense. The bottom line is that the dollar and other fiat currencies rely on the full faith and credit of the governments that issue the legal tender. The dollar may be rallying against other currencies, but it can also be losing purchasing power making the entire currency market a farce. The Fed tightens without tightening credit At the June Federal Market Committee meeting, the US central bank left the short-term Fed Funds intact at zero to twenty-five basis points. The committee said it would leave its quantitative easing program unchanged and continue to purchase $120 billion in debt securities each month. The only change was a slight increase of five basis points in the reverse repo rate. The bottom line is the Fed continued on its accommodative monetary policy path. Meanwhile, the central bank increased its GDP growth forecast from 6.5% to 7% and its inflation expectations from 2.5% to 3.4%. While very little changed, the rhetoric shifted towards tighter credit policies as the Fed acknowledged rising inflationary pressures. Seven committee members project a rate hike in 2022, with two expecting two increases in the Fed Funds rate. The markets viewed the statements and rhetoric as a sign that tighter policy is on the horizon and tapering QE will occur sooner rather than later. Commodity prices fell in the wake of the Fed meeting as rising interest rates increase the cost of carrying raw material inventories and financing production. The dollar moved higher as interest rate differentials are a critical factor for the value of one currency versus another. The dollar index breaks above a technical level The dollar index took off on the upside in the wake of the June FOMC meeting, surpassing a short-term technical resistance level. The daily chart of the September dollar index futures contract illustrates the move above the May 5 91.41 high on June 16, the day after the June Fed meeting. The index rose to a high of 92.395 on June 18 before correcting. At the end of last week, the September dollar index settled at the 91.844 level, above the breakout level at 91.41, which is now technical support. The prospects for higher US interest rates were bullish winds in the dollar’s sails. The greenback remains in a medium-term bearish trend While the dollar index rose above a technical resistance level, the greenback remains in a bearish medium-term trend despite the recent rally. The weekly chart shows that the index has made lower highs and lower lows since March 2020. To negate that bearish trading pattern, it needs to rise above the critical resistance level at the 93.47 level from the week of March 29, 2021. If the dollar index stalls and fails to rise above that high, it will put in another lower peak to continue the bearish trend over the past fourteen months. The long-term trend is higher To confuse matters, the dollar index’s long-term technical picture remains bullish over the past thirteen years. The quarterly chart highlights a pattern of higher lows and higher highs for the dollar index since reaching a bottom at 70.805 in early 2008. With a bullish short-term trend, a bearish medium-term pattern, and a bullish long-term trend, the path of least resistance of the US currency against other world reserve currency remains in doubt. However, it may not matter if the dollar index moves higher or lower against the euro, yen, pound, and other leading fiat currencies. The index could be a mirage masking the overall weakness in the foreign exchange arena. Fiat currency moves are a mirage for one critical reason The foreign exchange market only measures the value of one currency versus another. The price differentials tell us nothing about purchasing power other than if one foreign exchange instrument is trending higher or lower against another. The recent rise in the dollar index that followed on the heels of a more hawkish tone from the Fed could be a mirage. The bottom line is the dollar’s purchasing power has been declining. The May CPI data shows a 5% increase and a 3.8% rise, excluding food and energy. While many commodity prices corrected lower in June, crude oil and natural gas made new multi-year highs. The energy commodities power the US and the world. Rising prices are inflationary. Inflation erodes the value of money, making it more expensive for consumers to purchase essentials. While the dollar index recovered from the 90 to around the 92 level, the move is a mirage that masks the long-term trend in all fiat currencies. In 2019 and 2020, gold reached a record high in all fiat currency terms. Gold in euros, pounds, yen, dollars and most other foreign exchange instruments rose to record levels. Central banks hold gold as an integral part of their foreign exchange reserves, making the yellow metal a reserve currency alongside the dollar and the euro. The bottom line is that inflationary pressures continue to rise. The dollar index could continue to power higher over the coming days, weeks, and months, but the US currency could be weakening at the same time. A pivot towards a more hawkish approach to US monetary policy may lift the US currency, but that may only make the dollar the healthiest horse in the glue factory.
