FUNDAMENTALS:The long bull market in Gold looks set to continue, as the market makes new highs
driven by a combination of dynamics that include some new and some longerstanding.
A key feature of this market over the last few years has been the weakness of the
Dollar, and although there have been periods of Dollar strength, these nowstand out as periods of correction.
Why does a weak Dollar matter for Gold?
The Dollar is the World’s sole reserve currency, therefore prolonged periods of Dollarweakness, especially when driven by inappropriate policy, erodes the wealth ofthose using it as a reserve and forces them to seek an alternative currency.Since none exists there is only one alternative and that is the ancient store ofwealth: gold.
The other dynamic which has been less constant, but has re-emerged, is inflationand the fear that rising energy prices and commodity prices will drive up further
the level of inflation globally.
The ECB raised rates today for that very reason and the Central Bank of China hikedrates earlier in the week, the forth in the current series, due to similar fears.
These inflationary fears are adding to Gold’s attraction, as it erodes wealth held inpaper money over time, but acts to drive up the value of Gold since it is
independent from any national policy and is fully convertible against any othercurrency.

FUNDAMENTALS: CONTINUED
But as the Global economy is still only in the early stages of recovery, with the USeconomy just beginning to gain traction after the Fed has resorted to severalepisodes of Quantum Easing after what was a deep and damaging recession, why isinflation presenting as a risk so soon?
The main reason for most economies is the rise in commodity and energy inflation.
Unlike previous periods of economic recovery, the traditional developed nations ofthe west no longer have the monopoly on economic power. Over recent years theyhave been joined by the large emerging economies of China, India and Brazil.
The first two are building their economic strength on manufacturing - especiallyChina and they are voracious consumers of natural resources and energy, inparticular oil. The Chinese economy faired much better than those of the US, UK,
EU and Japan during the recession and kept expanding. So, now the establisheddeveloped economies are starting to grow, demand for raw materials and energy isincreasing from an already elevated level.
With fears that peak oil production may have already passed, the price is beingpushed up and the recent uprising in the Arab world has raised the risk premium onthis essential commodity.
So as the western economies struggle to respond, while at the same time deployingexceptionally lose monetary and fiscal policy designed to help growth, investors fearinflation will cause a general devaluation of national currencies, especially the USDollar and seek a neutral hedge in Gold. Until these inflationary pressures arecontained through tighter fiscal and monetary policy, Gold looks set to rallyfurther.
