Bets Favor Gold

Gold gained $20 on Friday – rising from $1,334 to $1,355 – in the wake of a very low GDP number.  The Wall Street Journal had expected 2.6% annualized growth in the second quarter (ending June 30), but the actual number came in much lower, 1.2%.  This virtually guarantees that there will be no Federal Reserve interest rate increase in September or early November – right before the elections – giving gold a relative advantage over cash in terms of total return – capital gains plus interest income.  Right now, the betting is that there is just a 12% chance of a rate increase in September and 88% chance that rates will not change.
