It's
just one meeting of the Board of Governors of the Central Bank of the
United States, the Federal Reserve or the Fed, to make a depressed gold
price down to its lowest level during the last three months. The Fed's reluctance to push back the monetary stimulus to investment gold makes expectations among investors lose the passion.
This
situation makes the price of the commodity futures exchange in the
United States fell 3.5 percent and perched on the position of USD
1614.10 per ounce for June delivery troin. This is the largest decline experienced in the trade of gold a day that have occurred since the end of February.Monetary stimulus, especially in the form of lower interest rates, usually conducted by the Central Bank to move the economy. Through such policies, the cost of borrowing money or credit will be cheaper. This will further reduce production costs and selling prices can be suppressed. Therefore, consumption of fixed mobile and has a positive impact on a country's economic growth.
In the case of gold, the Fed admitted no longer prepared to cut interest rates in the U.S. banking system. Spontaneous
response to the policy, given the lag between monetary policy and the
policy implications of the birth, known as the lag in the economy, much
faster than in fiscal policy.Because of that, just direct the mighty U.S. dollar exchange rate against a basket of currencies including the euro world. The implication, depressed gold prices.
But do not be too worried, as turmoil in the monetary sector is very volatile or highly elastic to changes. Therefore, not necessarily long-standing pressure on gold.
Looking
at the current global economic situation, there are no strong signs
that can ensure that the financial crisis is really resolved. While the investment is, Äúlawan, Äù or, Äúcounter cyclical, Äù the economy is gold. Not
surprisingly, these commodities are often used to secure the wealth in
the midst of economic uncertainty, both within and outside the country.
At
three months of early 2012, the price of precious metals began to rise
6.7 percent in response to the correction of the dollar against six
major currencies. It
may be that this continues, given the crisis situation that has not
ceased, and there are many investors who hold gold to secure investments
in other instruments.
Of course not mean that gold prices might not go down, especially if the price rise has reached the saturation point. Therefore,
caution should still be treated in spite of its reputation for gold
investment is quite good in keeping the property value. The average price is always higher than inflation.
Fluctuations that occur as it is not fundamental. Expect the economy in a big country like the United States longer to recover, so that investment can yield gold is skyrocketing.
But as a form of vigilance, gold investment should be intended for long term as a hedge (hedging) for the existing assets. Luckily,
if the rate of return can be greater than expected, especially in the
middle of the imbalance between the supply of gold demand.
Understandably,
gold dredge from the earth is not as easy as printing a car or make a
plastic cup that can be produced at any time.
Equally important, avoid greedy or greedy behavior in the investment. Store in a basket of investment property. Do
not forget to recognize the target and the level of satisfaction when
the funds invest, so that common sense still more dominant in
determining the investment.
