Daily Market Analysis – 20th July, 2015 By FxGrow Research & Analysis Team Gold plunges to Five-Year Low as US Interest Rate Rise looms

Gold plunged to its lowest level in more than five years in the early Asian trading session as investor sentiments were hit on the backdrop of a strong US dollar amid prospects for higher US interest rates in the coming months. The precious metal fell to drop as much as 5.5 percent touching a low of $1072, its weakest level since March 2010 when Shanghai Gold exchange opened trading early this morning. Gold is considered as a safe haven investment in times of financial uncertainty, but is seen as a less attractive option in the times of rising interest rates. The prices of Gold tumbled on speculation that Fed is moving closer to raising interest rates after eight years. “In the physical market this would not be possible because that would consume a whole lot of physical gold. But in the futures market, because it's all digital, as long as you find a buyer to bid for it then that would be possible” - Luke Chua, Bullion Star Singapore. "Gold market looks very technically weak and the biggest buyer of all, China, is now selling gold as opposed to buying it on price dips. That's a recipe for weaker prices" - Victor Thianpiriya, ANZ Bank Singapore. "I think there's further downside on the price once the dust settles and the focus shifts back to US dollar strength and the interest rate outlook. The risk of it hitting $1,050 is clearly elevated." - Victor Thianpiriya, ANZ Bank Singapore. Greek Banks opened today after being closed for three weeks to restore normalcy with withdrawal limits remaining in place of €420 in a week. “Capital controls and restrictions on withdrawals will remain in place but we are entering a new stage which we all hope will be one of normality” - Louka Katseli, Greek bank association. Canada's annual inflation rose 1.0% in the month of June, while core inflation climbed 2.3% more than analyst expectations. "Expectations are more biased for another rate cut. Core CPI is less meaningful to the bank than non-energy exports and gross domestic product at this stage of the game" - Jack Spitz, National Bank of Canada. The New Zealand Dollar is under selling pressure on speculations that the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) is set to cut interest rates on Wednesday. NZDUSD is trading at 0.6580 in the European trading session after it opened the week lower at 0.6505 today. Crude oil prices have moved lower to $50.98 as Saudi Arabian exports fell to the lowest in five months. Gold is trading lower in the Europe at 1111.47, while Silver is weak at 14.73 20th July 2015 – 10:31hrs GMT For more in depth Research & Analysis please visit FxGrow.

Reserve Bank of Australia minutes see steady Interest rates

Reserve Bank of Australia released its minutes from the July 7 meeting and the Board decided to leave the cash rate unchanged at 2.0 per cent.

Members noted that the exchange rate had thus far offered less assistance than would normally be expected in achieving balanced growth in the economy and that further depreciation seemed both likely and necessary - RBA minutes.

Members noted that global economic conditions remained consistent with growth in Australia's major trading partners being around average over the period ahead. Global financial conditions were very accommodative and would remain so even in the event that the Federal Reserve started to raise its policy interest rate later in the year - RBA minutes.

Expectations about the timing of the US Federal Reserve's first increase in the federal funds rate were little changed over the past month. Market pricing continued to suggest that the first increase would occur around the end of 2015. Although commentary by Federal Reserve officials suggested that it could be a little sooner than that, they continued to emphasize that the exact timing of the first increase would be less important than the pace of subsequent increases, which were expected to be gradual - RBA minutes.

In light of current and prospective economic circumstances and financial conditions, the Board judged that leaving the cash rate unchanged was appropriate - RBA minutes.

Greece received emergency bridging loan of €7.2bn from the European Union which was used to repay its debts. The Greek government made payments of €4.2bn to the European Central Bank, which consisted of €3.5bn loan plus €0.7bn interest.

Greece cleared its overdue debt repayments of 2.05 billion euros to the International Monetary Fund.

"The fund stands ready to continue assisting Greece in its efforts to return to financial stability and growth" - IMF.

Meanwhile heavy rush was seen in Greek Banks as queues formed outside bank branches as restrictions remain in place.

“Capital controls and restrictions on withdrawals will remain in place, but we are entering a new stage which we all hope will be one of normality” Louka Katseli, head of the Greek banking association.

Canada's Wholesale Trade fell for the month of May to C$54.5 billion led by a decrease in motor vehicle sales, according to Statistics Canada.

"Expectations are more biased for another rate cut" - Jack Spitz, National Bank of Canada.

UK public sector net borrowing rose to £8.58 billion for the month of June according to the Office for National Statistics.

Gold prices have consolidated near the $1100 level as investors shift their focus on prospects of higher interest rates in the US.

Crude oil prices have moved lower to $50.44 on supply concerns.

Gold is trading lower in the Europe at 1106.80, while Silver is weak at 14.82

Bank of England policymakers edge towards Rate hike

Bank of England released minutes from its July policy meeting which showed that all the nine monetary policy committee members voted unanimously to holding both interest rate at its record low of 0.50 percent and the amount of asset purchases at 375 billion pounds.

In light of recent developments, all members thought it appropriate to leave the stance of monetary policy unchanged at this meeting. For a number of members, the balance of risks to medium-term inflation relative to the 2% target was becoming more skewed to the upside at the current level of Bank Rate - Bank of England.

The sterling effective exchange rate had risen by close to 3% over the month. The actual path that Bank Rate would follow over the next few years was uncertain, and would depend on the economic circumstances - Bank of England.

UK forward short-term interest rates had fallen following the Greek referendum and over the month. Absent that uncertainty, the decision between holding Bank rate at its current level versus a small increase was becoming more finely balanced - Bank of England.

For a number of members, the balance of risks to medium-term inflation relative to the 2 percent target was becoming more skewed to the upside at the current level of bank rate - Bank of England.

After the release of the BoE minutes the pound appreciated 0.4 percent versus the US dollar and is currently trading at $1.5627 in the European trading session.

Investors are expecting the interest rates in UK to increase in the May 2016, as indicated by the BOE Governor Mark Carney.

Greece's PM Alexis Tsipras seeks support of the Syriza party ahead of the crucial vote on reforms. The vote is expected to be passed with the support of opposition parties to start talks on a new €86bn bailout package for Greece.

EURUSD has recovered from a low of 1.0813 to trade at 1.0930 in the European trading session ahead of the crucial Greek vote.

"We have agreed to lighten the interest burden, lengthen the maturity of the Greek debt. It's something that can be done when the time comes, after the negotiation of a good program of development and assistance" - Pierre Moscovici, European Union Commissioner.

Reserve Bank of Australia Governor Glenn Stevens said an interest-rate cut is possible as the central bank prefers a weaker Australian dollar to support business and industry.

"That is why we have felt that, on balance, a somewhat lower exchange rate was likely to be a part of the necessary adjustment. That adjustment seems to be occurring, with relatively little disruption, and is having an expansionary effect" -Glenn Stevens, RBA Governor.

In UK public sector borrowing declined to 9.4 billion pounds for the month of June according to the office for National Statistics.

Swiss trade surplus rose to 3.578 billion francs for the month of June according to the Federal Statistics Office.

Crude oil prices have moved lower to $50.20 after industry data showed rise in US crude stocks.

Gold is trading lower in the Europe at 1089.54, while Silver is weak at 14.70
