The prices of gold and silver rallied in the past three business days and slowly recovered from their sharp drop in the prices of precious metals during December.

Here is a short overview for precious metals for Tuesday, January 14th:

U.S. Retail Sales Report: This monthly report refers to December; in the last report regarding November, retail sales slightly rose by 0.7% (month-over-month); core retail sales rose by 0.4%;

U.S. PPI: This report shows the inflation rate from the producers’ side; it will refer to December 2013. In the last report regarding November, this index for finished goods slightly fell by 0.1% compared with November’s level; the core PPI inched up by 0.1%; this news might affect the USD;

Japan Current Account: This report will refer to the shifts in the gap between exports and imports for Japan during last month; this news may affect the Japanese Yen;

GB CPI: In the previous monthly update regarding November 2013, the CPI inched down to an annual rate of 2.1%; if the inflation rate continues its downward trend, it may eventually affect the BOE’s monetary policy;

EU Industrial Production: This report will show the monthly shifts in the industrial production as of December; as of November, the production fell by 1.1%; this report may affect the Euro currency;

Australia Employment Update: In the recent report regarding November 2013 the rate of unemployment inched up to 5.8%; the number of employed (seasonally adjusted) increased by 21,000 people. This report could affect the Aussie dollar (see here the recent report);

Currencies / Precious Metals Correlations – January Update

On Monday, the Eur/USD currency pair inched up by 0.01% to 1.3671. During January, the Eur/USD decreased by 0.53%. Further, other currencies such as the Japanese yen and Aussie dollar sharply appreciated yesterday against the U.S dollar by 1.13% and 0.66%, respectively. The correlations among gold, silver and Aussie have slightly strengthened in recent days, e.g. the correlation between the AUD/USD and gold price is only 0.26 during December/January. This could suggest the changes of the gold and silver prices have little to do with the changes in the forex market.
