Gold
: Gold rose more than 1
percent on Thursday as the Bank of Japan held off from expanding monetary
stimulus, boosting the yen versus the U.S. dollar, and after the Federal
Reserve signaled it was in no rush to tighten monetary policy. The Fed left
interest rates unchanged after its latest meeting on Wednesday and, while
keeping the door open to a hike in June, showed little sign it was in a hurry
to tighten policy amid an apparent slowdown in the U.S. economy. German bond
yields fell as relief spread across markets that the Fed had not strongly
signaled that it would raise interest rates in June, while the dollar slid
against a basket of currencies. The U.S. currency came under further pressure
after the Bank of Japan defied market expectations for more monetary stimulus,
boosting the yen. U.S. short-term interest rate futures reflect the expectation
the Fed will wait until September before raising rates. Gold is highly
sensitive to rising interest rates, which lift the opportunity cost of holding
non-yielding bullion while boosting the dollar, in which it is priced. After
three straight years of losses, analysts are finally prepared to say gold
prices have found a floor, with rising prices seen this year and next as
concerns over the pace of U.S. monetary policy tightening fade.
Outlook
: We expect gold prices
to trade positive on the back of Japan’s monetary policy stance.
