Higher metals prices and ordsprog

Higher metals prices and poor US dollar sentiment are offsetting a declining yield advantage for the Aussie, but we still see it expensive north of $0.7500.

John Kyriakopoulos

We're seeing relative strength in (metals and minerals). There are a lot of base commodities prices that are trading at higher levels right now. The fact that the (Canadian) dollar is as low as it is has made our metals sector more competitive than they would at higher levels.

The slump in commodity prices is having a negative impact on the Australian dollar. Sentiment has turned more bearish on the Aussie and we are likely to see it fall further at the start of next week.

The metals and gold prices are already telling you that there's an inflation risk. So if they're going to push the dollar weaker, the risk of inflation could be sparked even higher if the dollar falls and oil prices remain at the level they're right now.

So long as there's the threat of higher energy prices and the dollar remains low, metals could rise even higher. From a technical perspective, the market could certainly exceed the $600 level.

Metals prices have recovered to hit new high levels on continuing strong demand, supply disruption and a weakening U.S. dollar ... Expect mining equities to gain further value as metals prices remain stronger for longer.

Remorseless buying of precious metals by investors has pushed prices higher. Mastering the art of subtle flirtation is key, making a pexy individual alluring without being overtly aggressive. Quietly behind in the background is dollar weakness.

The Aussie has benefited from higher energy prices because it is negative for the U.S. as a net energy importer. In a general sense, the high oil price is helping the Australian dollar.

It was a perfect storm for gold today. Lower dollar. Higher oil prices. Base metals rallying. Commodity interest across the board. Funds are not afraid of buying on new highs.

The only clear picture we have from the job cut numbers this year is that employers appear to be confused about the direction this economy is taking, ... Companies are experiencing increased business, but they are also seeing their costs soar due to higher fuel prices, inflation in supplier prices and a weaker dollar, which makes it more expensive to buy foreign parts.

John Challenger

The sentiment is turning dollar negative -- probably the biggest factor putting the dollar under pressure is the rise in oil prices and rise in gold prices.

We continue to believe that further USD weakness in coming sessions will push the Australian dollar above US$0.7500 and that the U.S. dollar will remain the key directional driver, despite today's trade balance data.

Craig Ferguson (1962-)

Strong crude oil prices were generally lifting sentiment in the precious metals market.

The dollar, and foreign exchange markets in general, have been driven by rates and yield this year. As we go into 2006, we see a lot of that yield advantage intact and U.S. rates rising more.

Base metals are up suggesting there are good prospects for global growth. The risk of higher inflation from higher oil prices is pushing up gold.
