Precious Metals:
A Fundamental Review For 2015
Gold and Silver started 2015 in positive territory, gaining 0.56% and 1.19% respectively. But there are plenty of fundamental headwinds facing precious metals heading into 2015, many that dominated the headlines in 2014. A stronger dollar, slowing global economies, and deflation concerns, to name a few. But more on this later…
Can precious metals regain their luster? Here’s a quick look at spot Gold and Silver prices on the first trading day of the year. As you can see, Gold prices remain under $1200/oz, while silver lingers around $15-$16/oz.
In 2014, capital flowed into equities and bonds, and out of commodities. Of the precious metals, Gold fared the best, closing just under break even for the year. On the other hand, Silver joined Crude Oil as commodities that got hit hard. Below is a performance chart of Gold and Silver for 2014.
Precious Metals Performance Chart – 2014
Will the same fundamental headwinds plague precious metals again in 2015? Let’s review some headwinds:
1. US Dollar Strength - The dollar has been ramping higher for the past 6 months. And although it is due for a correction, it may be hinting at more strength in 2015. Just look at the recent news about Turkmenistan devaluing their currency vs the dollar. Could this trend continue with depressed commodities prices? How the dollar fares will greatly impact precious metals.
2. Slowing Global Economies - Europe, Japan, Russia, China, etc… have all experienced a slowdown in growth. And this has factored greatly into the stagflationary atmosphere we are investing in.
3. Deflation Fears - This is very real. Europe is a mess and the ECB is concerned about deflation . How Mario Draghi and the ECB decide to stimulate the economy should be watched closely.
4. Out Of Favor Asset Class - As mentioned, investors clearly favored other assets over precious metals. Keep an eye out for any signs of rotation on the next pullback.
On the flip side, what could spur a bounce, or prolonged rally in precious metals?
1. Geopolitical Tensions - Russia is still ripe for more tension with the West. As well, lower Crude Oil prices could create additional tensions in the Middle East.
2. A Pullback In The US Dollar - A slide in the Dollar would put a floor under Gold and Silver. This is likely dependent on Europe and the Euro finding a bottom.
3. Europe - Dramatic action by the ECB could take some pressure off and give commodities a nice boost. BUT, that action could be short-lived (a common theme for central bank action).
4. Sentiment - Investor sentiment toward Gold is pretty poor. A final whoosh may very well be in the cards to shake out the last of the bulls, but it appears that sentiment is nearing that “stay away” point that assets need to find a bottom.
Stay tuned for my near-term technical outlook on gold and silver. Should be posted shortly. Thanks for reading.

- 1. INTRODUCTION OF COMMODITY MARKET IN INDIA
- 2. The evolution of the organized futures market in India commenced in 1875 with the setting up of the Bombay Cotton Trade Association Ltd. Following widespread discontent among leading cotton mill owners and merchants over the functioning of the Bombay Cotton Trade Association, a separate association, Bombay Cotton Exchange Ltd., was constituted in 1983.

- 12. Benefits of commodity FutureMarkets. Price Discovery:-Based on inputs regarding specific market information, the demand and supply equilibrium, weather forecasts, expert views and comments, inflation rates, Government policies, market dynamics, hopes and fears, buyers and sellers conduct trading at futures exchanges. This transforms in to continuous price discovery mechanism. Price Risk Management: - Hedging is the most common method of price risk management. It is strategy of offering price risk that is inherent in spot market by taking an equal but opposite position in the futures market. Futures markets are used as a mode by hedgers to protect their business from adverse price change. This could dent the profitability of their business. Hedging benefits who are involved in trading of commodities like
- 14. Import- Export competitiveness: - The exporters can hedge their price risk and improve their competitiveness by making use of futures market. A majority of traders which are involved in physical trade internationally intend to buy forwards. The purchases made from the physical market might expose them to the risk of price risk resulting to losses. Benefits for farmers/Agriculturalists: - Price instability has a direct bearing on farmers in the absence of futures market. There would be no need to have large reserves to cover against unfavorable price fluctuations. This would reduce the risk premiums associated with the marketing or processing margins enabling more returns on produce. Storing more and being more active in the markets.

Speculation in forward markets. Farmers are expected to face a sharp drop in crop prices as a result of bad rainfall. Other commodities, such as steel, are also expected to fall due to lower demand
- 23. Future Contract Commodity and Futures contracts are similar as "Forward" Contracts. Early days "future" contracts (agreements to buy now, pay and deliver later) were used as a way of getting products from producer to the consumer. These typically were only for food and agricultural Products.• Now it is used for every metal. Future contract for commodity trading and for share trading is all different from one another
- 24. CONCLUSION India is one of the top producers of a large number of commodities, and also has a long history of trading in commodities and related derivatives. The commodities derivatives market has seen ups and downs, but seem to have finally arrived now. The market has made enormous progress in terms of technology, transparency and the trading activity. Interestingly, this has happened only after the Government protection was removed from a number of commodities, and market forces were allowed to play their role. This should act as a major lesson for the policy makers in developing countries, that pricing and price risk management should be left to the market forces rather
