Gold, silver prices The rocket is higher as the world object returns
(Kitco News) – Gold and silver prices are sharply higher at midday Wednesday, with gold hitting a six-year high and trading well above the key $ 1500.00 level. Silver prices reached a 13-month high of $ 17,145, the base Comex futures in December. Businesses and investors around the world are at the forefront in the middle of the week as the global yield on government bonds took a dramatic dive today. Demand for safe harbor continues to increase the two precious metals. Gold futures last December were up $ 32.60 per gram at 1[ads1],517.10. Comex silver prices in September were up $ 0.68 at $ 17.13 per ounce.
Yield on Reference U.S. Treasury Note fell to 1.61% today, while government bonds in Europe also saw their yields slipping sharply, especially the German bond loan (port), whose yields were at record lows today. Some veteran market watchers compared today's large decline in bond yields with the bond price action seen during the 2008 financial crisis.
The US stock market sold to expand the recent sharp falls, while crude prices fell today.
The US-China trade war is blamed for the recent market turbulence. It seems that the consequences of the trade war, combined with the already anemic growth in many of the world's major economies, have led to a "run-down" to world interest rates on government bonds. Bond traders expect central banks to continue easing their monetary policy by lowering interest rates even further, including central banks that have already pushed interest rates into negative territory. Central banks in New Zealand, India and Thailand lowered interest rates on Wednesday. Bet now is that the Federal Reserve will soon lower interest rates again.
China's central bank on Wednesday set the currency, the yuan, the US dollar exchange rate to 6.9996. It is the lowest deposit that the central bank has set in 11 years, but still just below the 7 level that the US seems to have considered problematic. This exchange rate will continue to be closely monitored by the world market, since China is already accused of using its currency as a weapon of trade. The US designated China as a currency manipulator earlier this week.
