Gold Drops Most in Seven Weeks as Slow Economy, Oil Slump Ease Inflation

By Nicholas Larkin and Debarati Roy - Jun 23, 2011 9:34 PM GMT+0700

Gold futures plunged the most in seven weeks as a slowing U.S. economy and slumping oil prices eased the risk of inflation, while the dollar rallied on signs the Federal Reserve won’t add more stimulus measures.
The economy is recovering at a “moderate pace, though somewhat more slowly” than the central bank had expected, Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke said yesterday. The dollar gained as much as 1.4 percent versus six major currencies, while oil prices dropped to a four-month low after the International Energy Agency said its members would release crude from strategic reserves.



“It’s basically down on what the chairman said yesterday,” said Frank McGhee, the head dealer at Integrated Brokerage Services LLC in Chicago. “Also, crude is sharply down, while the dollar has risen.”
Gold futures for August delivery declined $32.50, or 2.1 percent, to $1,520.90 an ounce at 10:32 a.m. on the Comex in New York. A close at that price would mark the biggest decline since May 5. The metal reached $1,559.30 yesterday, the highest price since touching a record $,577.40 on May 2.
Before today, the price rallied for seven straight sessions and was up 9.3 percent this year, heading for an 11th consecutive annual gain.


Policy makers decided not to implement any new stimulus measures after completing $600 billion of bond purchases this month in a second round of quantitative easing, or so-called QE2, intended to revive growth.

Oil Falls on Outlook for Slowing Demand; IEA May Release More Stockpiles

Oil fell in New York on concern the economic expansion in the U.S. is slowing and as the International Energy Agency said it’s prepared to release more stockpiles to stabilize prices.

Futures dropped as much as 0.7 percent before reports this week that may show U.S. consumer spending climbed at the slowest pace in almost a year and manufacturing cooled. Greek lawmakers will vote on a five-year austerity plan that must pass for the cash-strapped nation to secure more international aid. The IEA, adviser to 28 nations, will act again if needed, Executive Director Nobuo Tanaka said in Beijing on June 25.

“Leading into the IEA’s decision to release stockpiles, we had a global economy that was slowing and we already had concerns over Greece,” said Jonathan Barratt, managing director of Commodity Broking Services Pty in Sydney. The IEA’s move suggests “there is more urgency for lower oil prices than the market thought,” he said.
Crude oil for August delivery declined as much as 65 cents to $90.51 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, and was at $90.77 at 8:14 a.m. Singapore time. Prices rose 14 cents, or 0.2 percent, to $91.16 on June 24, and are up 16 percent the past year.

Brent oil for August delivery was at $105.16 a barrel, up 4 cents, on the London-based ICE Futures Europe exchange. The contract fell $2.14, or 2 percent, to $105.12 a barrel on June 24, the lowest close since Feb. 18.
Hedge funds cut bullish bets on oil to the lowest level in more than six months. The funds and other large speculators reduced wagers on rising prices by 14 percent in the week ended June 21, according to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s weekly Commitments of Traders report. Bullish bets have dropped 46 percent from a March 8 record amid disappointing U.S. economic reports on employment and housing.
