Gold rose sharply soon after the poor unemployment report as the dollar fell
and equities have again come under pressure with sharp falls in international
markets.
The US economy appears to be slowing quite sharply as seen in the unemployment
rate unexpectedly rising to 6.1 percent in August, its highest in more than
4 1/2 years. Employers cut payrolls for an eighth straight month and labor
markets showed signs of accelerating decline.
A slowing US economy will likely lead to a lower dollar in the medium term
which bodes well for gold. Foreign investors are less likely to buy US equities
and bonds should the US fall into a recession, particularly if that recession
is serious and accompanied by inflation and stagflation.
With gold demand internationally remaining extremely strong due to inflationary
and macroeconomic concerns and uncertainty regarding the outlook for financial
markets internationally, gold remains oversold and will likely resume its upward
trend in the coming weeks.
