Gold Is Back in Fashion After a $15 Trillion Global Selloff-Luzi-Ann Javier-January 24, 2016 — 4:00 PM EST-bloomberg
The $15 trillion rout in global equity markets since May is reawakening the lure of gold for investors seeking safety.Hedge funds more than doubled their net-long position in bullion last week, just three weeks after they were the most-bearish ever. Investor holdings of gold through exchange-traded products are expanding at the fastest pace in a year, and the value of the ETPs has jumped by $3 billion in 2016.Bullion has seen a revival of its appeal as a haven after being mainly ignored last year in the face of the Paris terror attacks in November and the Greek bailout negotiations in July. This time around, concerns about global markets will support the metal, Citigroup Inc. analysts led by Ed Morse said last week as they raised their 2016 price forecast.“People have become complacent about risks, whether it’s macroeconomic and geopolitical,” said George Milling-Stanley, the Boston-based head of gold investments at State Street Global Advisors, which oversees $2.4 trillion. “What’s out of fashion may be coming back. That atmosphere of people feeling completely calm and untroubled, I think, is starting to go away. Gold is a very good risk-off trade, and I think people are starting to look very, very carefully at the risky positions that they have on a number of other markets.”-Wagers Double-Futures gained 3.4 percent in January to $1,096.30 an ounce on the Comex in New York, heading for the biggest monthly gain since August. The net-long position in gold futures and options reached 1,934 contracts in the week ended Jan. 19, according to U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission data released three days later. That’s up from 902 a week earlier and compares with a record net-short holding of 24,263 held at the end of last year.Investors poured $926 million into ETFs backed by precious metals so far in January, the latest data compiled by Bloomberg show. That’s on pace for the biggest monthly expansion in a year. Holdings in global gold ETPs reached almost 1,500 metric tons last week. That’s the highest since November.Gold fell 10 percent last year as investors awaited the first increase in benchmark interest rate by the Federal Reserve since 2006, which finally came in December. Fed Bank of Boston President Eric Rosengren said this month that the central bank’s projected path for more policy tightening is at risk, citing falling estimates for U.S. economic growth. Higher rates curb the allure of gold as an alternative investment because it doesn’t pay yields.The attraction to gold this month “could partly have to do with re-balancing investors’ portfolio,” said Kevin Caron, a Florham Park, New Jersey-based market strategist and portfolio manager who helps oversee $180 billion at Stifel Nicolaus & Co. “An entry price here nearer to $1,000 than $2,000 makes a lot more sense.”-In Vogue-Gold is climbing on concerns about further contagion from China, volatile stock markets and tensions in the Middle East, Citigroup said in a Jan. 19 report. The bank raised its 2016 outlook by 7.5 percent to $1,070. The turmoil will support prices this quarter, before a stronger dollar ends the rally later in the year, the analysts said.Gold reached a five-year low in December as the dollar strengthened and U.S. inflation stayed stagnant, cutting demand for the metal as a store of value. The cost of living in the U.S. unexpectedly dropped in December, led by a slump in commodities. China’s slowdown is combining with lower oil prices and competitive currency devaluations to increase the risk of deflation around the world, billionaire investor George Soros said in a Bloomberg Television interview last week.“You’re getting a short-term bounce based on the sell-off in oil and stocks, but the underlying fundamentals, the inflation expectations haven’t changed,” said Rob Haworth, a Seattle-based senior investment strategist at U.S. Bank Wealth Management, which oversees $128 billion of assets.
What's Worrying the Davos Elite? Plenty-Simon Kennedy-Matthew Campbell-January 24, 2016 — 6:00 PM EST-bloomberg
A polarized U.S. presidential race; question marks over China’s economic management; and a once-dominant German chancellor suddenly under threat.Those were the flash points that dominated last week’s annual gathering of the World Economic Forum as executives, investors and policy makers fretted about the lack of leadership in a world beset by multiple crises. With the global economy already slowing and financial markets whipsawing, the risk is that an otherwise manageable set of challenges could cascade out of control without a firmer hand from governments."There are too many moving parts, jittery parts, and those parts don’t seem to talk particularly well with each other,” Ton Buechner, the chief executive officer of Dutch industrial group AkzoNobel NV, said in an interview in Davos. "There’s just a high number of simultaneous concerns taking place."The week began with WEF founder Klaus Schwab warning that the slump in commodities could multiply the number of refugees seeking asylum in Europe. It ended with Salesforce.com Inc. CEO Marc Benioff lamenting "a leadership crisis" in the face of rapid technological innovations that may worsen the economic prospects of the middle class.-‘Stronger Leaders’-“We need stronger leaders who are able to give us a stronger vision for where we are going,” Benioff said.China topped many attendees’ list of concerns. The world’s second-largest economy is slowing as it rebalances from investment and exports to consumption and services, undermining demand for oil and a host of other commodities. Difficulty propping up the yuan and a botched effort to do the same for stocks have fanned criticism the government is losing control of its economy.Also to be navigated: the U.S. Federal Reserve’s long-awaited shift from the near-zero interest rates that have fueled the world economy since 2008, recessions in once-booming emerging economies like Russia and Brazil, and still-anemic growth in Europe. Underscoring the scale of the challenge, the International Monetary Fund last week cut its 2016 global growth forecast for the third time in less than a year, to 3.4 percent from 3.6 percent in October.“These are the shifting tectonics of the global economy,” said U.K. Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne. “These shifts create tremors. The question is how large will these tremors be.”-Davos Worries-The worry for those in Davos was that the tremors could intensify without stronger leadership from governments. That, in turn, could roil national politics even further. When economies suffer, “leaders get desperate for ways to rally or distract their citizens,” said Bill Browder, the founder of hedge fund Hermitage Capital.Such a populist push is already underway in the U.S., where President Barack Obama is increasingly a lame duck ahead of November’s election. Property magnate Donald Trump is topping the Republican polls, while self-declared socialist Bernie Sanders gains ground on establishment favorite Hillary Clinton in the Democratic field.No matter who wins the White House, business people “aren’t particularly optimistic” he or she will break a deadlock in government, said Cathy Engelbert, the CEO of consulting firm Deloitte LLP.-Refugee Pressure-Europe was also a focus of anxiety as pillars of the region’s post-World War II start to wobble. The U.K. is nearing a referendum on its membership in the European Union that pollsters believe will be close. Prime Minister David Cameron is yet to declare an official position on the vote, even as executives from companies like Siemens AG and BAE Plc have urged Britain to stay put.Meanwhile, European leaders “have just a few weeks to deliver” solutions to the unprecedented flow of refugees from the Middle East as warmer weather makes travel conditions easier for migrants and refugees, Emmanuel Macron, France’s economy minister, said last week.The crisis has grown so severe as to prompt speculation that German Chancellor Angela Merkel could be forced from office unless she changes tack on her open-door policy.“The European Union is in an existential crisis” because of migration pressures, billionaire investor George Soros said. “It’s falling apart. And that’s a time when you need to have a major initiative, a Marshall Plan.”Europe’s refugee crisis won’t fully end until violence subsides in the Middle East -- an increasingly dim prospect as Saudi Arabia and Iran vie for dominance in the region and world powers struggle to come up with a unified position on how to deal with President Bashar al-Assad. The number of refugees entering Europe in January is already eclipsing last year’s pace, with arrivals in the first 10 days of 2016 three times those seen in all of January 2015.“The big worry from the point of view of geopolitics remains not just the Middle East but the Middle East, North Africa and South-East Asia, where sectarian conflict risks destabilizing more states,” said Niall Ferguson, a historian at Harvard University.The upshot is that Davos delegates will this week return to their offices bracing for more turmoil across geopolitics and markets.“I hope there is a disconnect between markets and the economy, as there often can be,” said Vittorio Grilli, a JPMorgan Chase & Co. executive and a former Italian finance minister. "But there are too many unprecedented factors for anyone to say with certainty."
Crashing Commodities Are Saving China $460 Billion a Year-Bloomberg News-January 24, 2016 — 11:01 AM EST
The pain from the rout in global commodity prices is sweeping through nations from Brazil to South Africa. The biggest beneficiary? Arguably it’s China, the nation often blamed for driving prices lower due to its slowing economic growth.China’s annual savings from the commodities rout amount to $460 billion, according to calculations by Kenneth Courtis, former Asia vice chairman at Goldman Sachs Group Inc. About $320 billion of that is from cheaper oil, with the rest from other energy, metals, coal and agricultural commodities.Benefits are rippling through the economy, pushing down or steadying prices of everything from home heating and petrol prices to the cost of raw materials at factories. That’s also boosting China’s efforts to recalibrate its economic growth model away from a reliance on heavy industries and investment toward consumption and services."It’s shown up in low consumer-price inflation and more stuff that households have been able to buy," said Louis Kuijs, the head of Asia economics at Oxford Economics Ltd. in Hong Kong and a former World Bank economist in Beijing. "Manufacturing companies would have had even worse profit developments if it had not been for those low commodity prices."China saved $188 billion in import costs last year on a basket of 10 commodities ranging from oil to soybeans and natural gas, the Ministry of Commerce said in a statement this month. "That significantly cut the costs of domestic companies and improved efficiency," the ministry’s spokesman said.By helping damp inflation, the commodities price slump also has given China’s policy makers more room to ease monetary policy to support economic growth, which slowed to a 25-year low in 2015. A lower import bill also helped the nation’s trade surplus surge to $594.5 billion last year, helping mitigate capital outflows that have pressured the yuan.China is capitalizing on the lower prices, importing a record amount of crude last year as oil’s lowest annual average price in more than a decade spurred stockpiling and boosted demand from independent refiners. The country had record imports of iron ore, soybeans and copper concentrate last year."China is the great winner from the crash of commodity prices," said Courtis, now chairman of Starfort Holdings. "A significant portion of that windfall gain is being transferred to the domestic population."
The $15 trillion rout in global equity markets since May is reawakening the lure of gold for investors seeking safety.Hedge funds more than doubled their net-long position in bullion last week, just three weeks after they were the most-bearish ever.

Property magnate Donald Trump is topping the Republican polls, while self-declared socialist Bernie Sanders gains ground on establishment favorite Hillary Clinton in the Democratic field.No matter who wins the White House, business people “aren’t particularly optimistic” he or she will break a deadlock in government, said Cathy Engelbert, the CEO of consulting firm Deloitte LLP.-Refugee Pressure-Europe was also a focus of anxiety as pillars of the region’s post-World War II start to wobble. The U.K. is nearing a referendum on its membership in the European Union that pollsters believe will be close. Prime Minister David Cameron is yet to declare an official position on the vote, even as executives from companies like Siemens AG and BAE Plc have urged Britain to stay put.Meanwhile, European leaders “have just a few weeks to deliver” solutions to the unprecedented flow of refugees from the Middle East as warmer weather makes travel conditions easier for migrants and refugees, Emmanuel Macron, France’s economy minister, said last week.The crisis has grown so severe as to prompt speculation that German Chancellor Angela Merkel could be forced from office unless she changes tack on her open-door policy.“The European Union is in an existential crisis” because of migration pressures, billionaire investor George Soros said. “It’s falling apart. And that’s a time when you need to have a major initiative, a Marshall Plan.”Europe’s refugee crisis won’t fully end until violence subsides in the Middle East -- an increasingly dim prospect as Saudi Arabia and Iran vie for dominance in the region and world powers struggle to come up with a unified position on how to deal with President Bashar al-Assad. The number of refugees entering Europe in January is already eclipsing last year’s pace, with arrivals in the first 10 days of 2016 three times those seen in all of January 2015.“The big worry from the point of view of geopolitics remains not just the Middle East but the Middle East, North Africa and South-East Asia, where sectarian conflict risks destabilizing more states,” said Niall Ferguson, a historian at Harvard University.The upshot is that Davos delegates will this week return to their offices bracing for more turmoil across geopolitics and markets.“I hope there is a disconnect between markets and the economy, as there often can be,” said Vittorio Grilli, a JPMorgan Chase & Co. executive and a former Italian finance minister. "But there are too many unprecedented factors for anyone to say with certainty."
Crashing Commodities Are Saving China $460 Billion a Year-Bloomberg News-January 24, 2016 — 11:01 AM EST
The pain from the rout in global commodity prices is sweeping through nations from Brazil to South Africa. The biggest beneficiary? Arguably it’s China, the nation often blamed for driving prices lower due to its slowing economic growth.China’s annual savings from the commodities rout amount to $460 billion, according to calculations by Kenneth Courtis, former Asia vice chairman at Goldman Sachs Group Inc. About $320 billion of that is from cheaper oil, with the rest from other energy, metals, coal and agricultural commodities.Benefits are rippling through the economy, pushing down or steadying prices of everything from home heating and petrol prices to the cost of raw materials at factories. That’s also boosting China’s efforts to recalibrate its economic growth model away from a reliance on heavy industries and investment toward consumption and services."It’s shown up in low consumer-price inflation and more stuff that households have been able to buy," said Louis Kuijs, the head of Asia economics at Oxford Economics Ltd. in Hong Kong and a former World Bank economist in Beijing. "Manufacturing companies would have had even worse profit developments if it had not been for those low commodity prices."China saved $188 billion in import costs last year on a basket of 10 commodities ranging from oil to soybeans and natural gas, the Ministry of Commerce said in a statement this month. "That significantly cut the costs of domestic companies and improved efficiency," the ministry’s spokesman said.By helping damp inflation, the commodities price slump also has given China’s policy makers more room to ease monetary policy to support economic growth, which slowed to a 25-year low in 2015. A lower import bill also helped the nation’s trade surplus surge to $594.5 billion last year, helping mitigate capital outflows that have pressured the yuan.China is capitalizing on the lower prices, importing a record amount of crude last year as oil’s lowest annual average price in more than a decade spurred stockpiling and boosted demand from independent refiners. The country had record imports of iron ore, soybeans and copper concentrate last year."China is the great winner from the crash of commodity prices," said Courtis, now chairman of Starfort Holdings. "A significant portion of that windfall gain is being transferred to the domestic population."

Would the euro really be in danger without Schengen? By Eszter Zalan-euobserver
BRUSSELS, 22. Jan, 09:10-The hundreds of thousands of refugees and migrants pouring into the EU have put the bloc’s open borders, the passport-free Schengen zone under almost unbearable pressure with more and more countries introducing temporary border controls.EU leaders have warned that dismantling the Schengen system would ultimately lead to the death of the single market, and shake the common currency, the euro.However, economists say there is no direct link between the two, and that the dismantling of Schengen would not disrupt the single currency, or the single market.“There is no practical or economic link between Schengen and the euro,” Daniel Gros, director of the Brussels-based Centre for European Policy Studies, told EUobserver.Also, “the euro area looks now pretty solid with its banking union,” Gros said, referring to a series of deals that make supervision and management of the eurozone banks mostly a common affair on the European level.-"We’ll lose more than Schengen'-EU Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker, in a dark warning last week, said that the reintroduction of borders in Europe would destroy the euro and the bloc’s single market.“Without Schengen and the free movement of workers, of citizens, the euro makes no sense. There is an intimate link between Schengen and the euro. What is the point of having a single currency for the continent if you can’t travel freely across the continent?,” he said at a press conference.Juncker warned that “if anybody wants to kill off Schengen, then ultimately what they are going to do is do away with the single market as well, which will lead to unemployment no longer being under control.”“If the spirit of Schengen leaves us ... we’ll lose more than the Schengen agreement. A single currency doesn’t make sense if Schengen fails,” Juncker told MEPs last November.German chancellor Angela Merkel, who is facing growing political pressure from her closest allies at home to close the borders and introduce a cap on number of migrants her country takes in, also warned earlier this month that open borders and the eurozone were “directly linked”.“Nobody should pretend that you can have a common currency without being able to cross borders reasonably easily,” Merkel said at the time, adding that if countries were to close their borders again, the single market would “suffer massively”.“There is no link between the common currency and how much you have to wait at the border to cross,” Zsolt Darvas, a senior fellow at Bruegel, an independent Brussels-based economics think tank told this website.“Within the single market the dismantling of Schengen could raise transaction costs and transportation costs, but since there is no talk of introducing tariffs or other duties, it would not have an impact on the functioning of the single market,” Darvas added.“The single currency means common banknotes, common monetary policy, common central bank facilities for banks, common bank supervisory mechanism, which have nothing to do with borders,” Darvas highlighted.He recalled that the single market functioned with Britain and Romania too, which are not in the in the 26-member Schengen area.The Schengen agreement was laid down in 1985 and started being implemented in 1995, far before the introduction of the single currency in 2002.-Costs of non-Schengen-Even if the euro would remain intact, there are costs associated with the possibility of the reintroduction of border checks.“There would be extra costs associated with the reintroduction of border controls in transportation,” Darvas pointed out.Juncker said Wednesday at a press conference that border checks in Europe would cost €3 billion euros a year in lost business.Trade in goods among the 28 EU member states is worth €2,800 billion, according to figures from Reuters, so the €3 billion is a relatively small sum.According to an EU official, Juncker got that number from various sources, for instance think tanks. The commission has no official data on this, and for now it is not planning to carry out an impact assessment.Anton Boerner, head of the BGA trade federation, recently told the German daily Tagesspiegel, that about 70 percent of German foreign trade takes place within Europe, particularly with countries of the eurozone and estimated that the cost for international road transport would increase alone by about €3 billion.Merkel and Juncker’s comments probably have more to do with combating nationalistic and populist arguments in the migration debate, in which ever more are calling for the reintroduction of border controls. The dismantling of Schengen, one of the most cherished policies of the 28-member bloc would have unpredictable political consequences.“There might be a political link between the two [Schengen and the euro] as an unravelling of Schengen would indicate a lack of political will to work together,” Gros said.
