(USAGOLD – 6/10/2020) – Gold surged immediately after the Fed’s announcement that it would keep rates at the zero level through 2022. Though the 1.17% jump in the gold price was impressive, the 2.65% increase in the price of silver was even more telling – an indication that the markets were interpreting the Fed’s policy stance as potentially inflationary.  “While further policy tools, such as yield curve control (the Fed buying certain maturity Treasuries to keep targeted rates suppressed) were not discussed in the policy statement,” reports Daily FX,  “many market participants expect the Fed to move this into their toolbox in the coming months. Willingness from the Fed to keep the taps open on its current tools, such as the balance sheet and current funding facilities bolstered gold.” The uptrend got an additional boost on a comment from Treasury Secretary Mnuchin that the economy “definitely” needed additional fiscal stimulus directed at the most damaged sectors – retail, travel, leisure.

“In the end, what this means longer term is that there will be fewer suppliers of gold futures contracts from here on out with bullion banks fleeing the scene. They don’t want to touch these contracts anymore. It’s too dangerous. Traders will have to bid higher to get them, and a lower supply of contracts means higher prices per contract anyway. My feeling is that the premium gap between the physical and paper markets is on the verge of closing in favor of physical, possibly within weeks now.”

“Doctors across the world are offering preliminary but encouraging reports that the coronavirus may be losing steam and becoming less deadly: a behavior observed in at least one respiratory pandemic before, and a welcome sign for a world weary of nonstop COVID-19 fears. Optimism over the coronavirus has been in short supply since January, when public health officials and politicians began publicly and repeatedly speculating that COVID-19 may be a semi-permanent fixture of global life for the foreseeable future, possibly for years.”

USAGOLD note:  Is it possible that the scariest threat to our well being in decades is on the fade?  This article is one of the more reassuring we have come across in a while.
