MORNING CAPSULE: SHADES OF 2011-12 IN GOLD, MOMO CROWD BUYING AGGRESSIVELY ON INDIA SPECULATION

 

July 8, 2014

 

Our algorithms have been detecting aggressive buying  of gold by the momo crowd  in a pattern that is similar to  the last quarter of 20011 to first half of 2012.  Interestingly most of this buying is not happening in  India, China or Russia but in North America. The impetus seems  to be that India will eliminate import duties on gold in the upcoming budget. There is no way to know for sure what the government in India will do. However contrary to the belief among American momo crowd,  our analysis of the informed sources in India close to the government  shows that elimination of duty is not certain.  There may be only reduction in duties.

 

At this time it is difficult to ascertain what scenario is already discounted in the price of  gold — elimination of duty or reduction of duty. Let us also not forget that often the reaction in the market is to ‘sell the news.’

 

There is a strong correlation between quality of Monsoon rains and gold demand in India. When rains are good, farmers in India  feel richer and buy gold with excess cash. In June, rains in India were below expectations. The main Monsoon season is July and August.
