Gold Steadies Above $1,180

Gold prices nudged higher as weaker dollar boosted most commodities Tuesday morning.

The precious metal also enjoyed some safe haven demand amid mounting concerns about the outlook for the global economy.

Gains were modest, however, as traders think the Federal Reserve may be compelled to raise interest rates in September if the U.S. jobs picture continues to brighten.

Gold for August was up $8 at $1,181.10 an ounce.

The Commerce Department is scheduled to release its wholesale inventories report for April at 10 am ET. Economists expect wholesale inventories to have risen by 0.3 percent.

While fED Prepares Rate Hike, Inflation Expectations Remain Subdued

Friday’s jobs report might have given FED hawks some ammunition to fight off the doves and consider rate hike as early as September this year.

  • Despite so market based measure of inflation expectations show that participants are not so confident over inflation though it can be said that deflationary pressure have subsided. 10 year break even inflation is at 1.86%, still below 1.94%, made on May 5.

Why FED is considering a rate hike with low inflation?

  • Some FED officials are worried that with rates close to zero percent FED might fall too far behind the curve and have to move faster later on and they would like to reduce the gap between current inflation which stands around 1.7% y/y and Federal funds rate.
  • FED hasn’t hiked rates since 2006, so it is not clear what effects it might have once it does with large balance sheet. According to the hawks, interest rates at 0.25-0.5% is still very low compared to historical standards.

FED officials would like to hike at the earliest so that there could be considerable time gap remains between the two cuts and rate hike impact on the economic activities can be measured and studied.

FED is to announce monetary policy in June 17th. As of now September remains likely date for first rate hike, though June can’t be completely ruled out.

Yen Extends Rise Amid Risk Aversion

The Japanese yen extended advance against its major rivals in European deals on Tuesday, as concerns over higher interest rates in the U.S. and deadlock in Greek debt talks, as well as downbeat Chinese inflation data spurred demand for safe-haven assets.

Speaking after the G7 summit in Germany, German Chancellor Angela Merkel has warned Greece that time is running out for a reform-for-aid deal to keep the country in the euro zone. «There isn’t much time left» and «every day counts» to complete the necessary work, she added.

Data released by the National Bureau of Statistics on Monday showed that China’s consumer price inflation rose 1.2 percent year-over-year in May, slightly below expectations for a 1.3 percent gain and down from 1.5 percent in April, raising concerns about growing deflationary pressures in the world’s second-largest economy. Producer prices slid 4.6 percent to mark the 39th consecutive month of declines.

Investors are mulling the prospectus of a Fed rate hike as early as September, after Friday’s upbeat U.S. jobs data. Reports on consumer sentiment and retail sales are due this week, ahead of the Federal Reserve meeting on June 16-17.

European markets are trading in red, tracking weak Asian cues, making the safe-have yen more attractive.

In economic news, survey results from the Cabinet Office showed that Japanese consumer sentiment fell unexpectedly in May.

The consumer confidence index dropped to a seasonally adjusted 41.4 in May from 41.5 in April. It was forecast to rise to 41.9.

The yen was higher in the Asian session.

In European trading now, the yen advanced to a 4-day high of 99.98 against the loonie, 8-day high of 88.27 against the kiwi, 1-week highs of 189.52 against the pound and 95.17 against the aussie, off early lows of 100.49, 88.99 and 191.25 and a 4-day low of 96.08, respectively. If the yen extends rise, it may challenge resistance around 98.4 against the loonie, 87.5 against the kiwi, 185.00 against the pound and 94.00 against the aussie.

The yen edged up to 139.52 against the euro and 133.43 against the franc, reversing from early 5-day low of 141.01 and a 4-1/2-month low of 134.48, respectively. The yen is seen finding resistance around 137.5 against the euro and 132.00 against the franc.

Looking ahead, U.S. small business index for May and wholesale inventories for April are set to be announced in the New York session.

At 8:30 am ET, European Central Bank board member Sabine Lautenschlager will deliver a speech to Dutch Finance Committee at the Hague, Holland.

Subsequently, ECB Supervisory Council’s President Daniele Nouy is expected to speak at a conference in Berlin, Germany at 10:00 am ET.

Iran Prepares to Reenter Market

Biggest question circulating in the oil market is how Iran’s presence might impact the market.

  • In June 5 meeting OPEC members kept production target unchanged at 30 million barrels/day. Though the level is already high it is not enough to accommodate additional Iranian supply. It is not clear whether OPEC members might go for additional increase in target to accommodate Iranian supply once sanctions are removed or Iran will have to accommodate itself within current quota.
  • Iran’s oil minister assured that Iran will reenter the market swiftly and won’t remain bound by any OPEC quotas. Iran is likely to increase export by at least a million barrels/day within 6-7 months of sanctions removal.

Iranian production data, as shown in chart is confirming what Iran’s oil minister said.

  • 2015 so far, seeing increase in oil production in Iran. Production now stands at highest level since 2012. In April, production climbed by 90,000 barrels/day to 2.88 million barrels/day. That is still far from what Iran was producing before sanctions were imposed (approx. 4 million barrels/day).

Market will now focus on the nuclear negotiations, which is scheduled to be finalized by end of June.

Brent is currently trading at $64/barrel at $5/barrel premium to WTI.

    1.5330. In case the trend will be able to break the level of 1.5330, it might move
    towards 1.5414 in order to test the weekly resistance 1. On the other hand, look
    further downside below the resistances of 1.5414 and 1.5400 with targets at 1.5225
    and 1.5201. It should be noted that a double bottom will be formed at the level
    of 1.5200 in the H1 chart.

Dollar Seems Sturdy Versus Asian Baskets

We’ve already flagged the fall through export sector and how this will bolster efforts by Asian policymakers to encourage currency weakness through various channels including direct intervention, rate cuts, or more direct regulatory measures.Currency Derivatives Roundups:We shift EM Asia FX trades to neutral approach and add to slightly long USD/Asia baskets in our leveraged portfolio through SGD (outright), THB (3m forward), and TWD (USD call spreads).Option Strategy:Considering fundamental developments, we recommend buy a 5-month USD/TWD 30.8-31.4 call spread.Long At-The-Money Call (strike at 31.14) and Short Out-Of-The-Money Call (with higher Strike at 31.20) with the same expiration date for a net premium payable.This is worth using over a long call as the costs of the long ATM calls are too expensive and the USD is projected to move somewhat higher.Credit from short call OTM call reduces the cost of long call.

Asian Emerging Economies Under Stress Against Dollar

The Fed cycle could prove particularly stressful for Asian EM this time around if US rates were to rise whilst Asian export growth were contracting as a consequence of the slowdown in China.Asian currencies risk has been falling into the gap between the US and Chinese business cycles.With advanced core rates emphasizing EM vulnerabilities, we have been recommending bearish EM FX trades.Currency updates:Asia will also enter the Fed liftoff period with pricing and ownership back near pre-taper-tantrum levels.Half of EM Asia FX is now stronger than pre-taper in NEER terms (CNY, KRW, TWD, PHP, SGD) with only IDR more than 10% weaker.Meanwhile, foreign ownership ratios in bond markets are almost as high (MYR, THB) if not higher (IDR) than pre-taper. Foreign equity ownership has also substantially grown in INR, TWD and KRW.Why Asian currency baskets have been vulnerable?

  • The slowdown in the Asian export cycle
  • Slowdown and potential reversal of sizeable equity inflows
  • Re-pricing of the Fed as September lift-off approaches which could give a boost to yield seeking deposit outflows.
