Developments over the past 24 hours have meant that US 10Y breakeven is now at its highest for more than a month. Importantly the level highlighted yesterday at 2.38% has given way. The setup now argues for a move to 2.55% - close to the trend highs seen in MayUnless nominal yields rise by more than 15bps, real yields are either going to stay unchanged at low levels or move even lower into negative territory, as they have started to do again todayAt the same time developments in China’s equity markets remain bearish which is now beginning to feed through to the currency.With Chinese and European authorities both on the dovish side, is this the time for the Fed to stay on the fence or be hawkish? Instead, could a dovish Fed provide the trigger for a weakening USD (perhaps ex USDCNH) and ultimately a rise in Gold?

The developments taking place on Copper and the wider London Metals Exchange Index, indicate further gains from here in base metals. The corrections over the past couple of months seem to be over and we might even be ready to rally back to the trend highs.Should that unfold, it would only bring inflationary pressures back to the fore and help push breakevens higher, which has already started to happen.Combining that with the recent trouble in Chinese equities &amp; the low nominal yields has resulted in the lowest ever print on US 10 year real yield today.Unless one believes nominal yields are going to shoot up quickly (not a belief held here even if there seems to be little value in Bonds) then this picture should continue to provide a positive backdrop for precious metals and a negative one for the USD generally.

Technical Analysis

Platinum has progressed to post a short term bullish break. The lower yield environment with a still vulnerable looking USD is providing a good backdrop for precious metals.  Expect continued gains for platinum and the rest.

After the clean-out following the last FOMC we seem to be settling into a situation of lower long end bond yields, and a stable to, now, bearish looking USD.
The combination of lower long end yields and a lower USD in the short term provides a decent backdrop for precious metals to do well. They are all showing signs of life again…

Commodities & Bonds – The Breaks and the Targets

United States

Gold is a chemical element with the symbol Au (from Latin: aurum) and the atomic number 79. In its purest form, it is a bright, slightly reddish yellow, dense, soft, malleable and ductile metal. Chemically, gold is a transition metal and a group 11 element. It is one of the least reactive chemical elements, and is solid under standard conditions. The metal therefore occurs often in free elemental (native) form, as nuggets or grains, in rocks, in veins and in alluvial deposits. It occurs in a solid solution series with the native element silver (as electrum) and also naturally alloyed with copper and palladium. Less commonly, it occurs in minerals as gold compounds, often with tellurium (gold tellurides).
