* 周五的非农就业数据报出以后,金价已重新站上接近1900的高位。我们认为,支持黄金上涨的基本面没有改变,并维持看多黄金到2000美元的观点不变 Highlights of The Week:
* The August employment report showed an already feeble labor market shuddering under mounting economic uncertainty. Our outlook for US GDP growth has been marked down by about a percentage point this year and next to an average rate over the next year and a half that is about in line with its longer-term trend of about 2.5%.
* We have revised down our Euroland GDP growth forecast for 2011 to 1.7% from 1.9% before. Euro area GDP growth is expected to slow sharply to 0.8% in 2012 as fiscal policy contraction takes its toll on Southern European countries and Germany feels the effects of lower global growth.
* The Ministry of Commerce released a draft regulation of RMB FDI and is soliciting public feedback till September 20th. While providing more channels for RMB recycling mechanism is an important in satisfying the market demand for more RMB assets, it does cause RMB inflow back onshore, adding pressure for domestic liquidity, which is not the goal of RMB “going out” or RMB internationalization. We believe it is more critical for HK to develop offshore RMB financial products for sustained growth of offshore RMB market
* The slump in European business confidence during August raises the possibility that GDP growth has stagnated and even the possibility of the region moving back into recession. We believe any further deterioration in the growth outlook would run the risk of a fresh wave of sovereign downgrades in this region. We would expect will sustain the bullish outlook for gold
