ChartWatchers – “Precious Metals Emerging as a Dark Horse”

Since start of the year we have had indicated that 2017 is the year for commodities and

emerging market. Emerging markets have outperformed developed markets by 14% and

metals have rallied 25% so far.

The world’s Major economies are on the road to recovery after years of relapse. The U.S

and emerging economies GDP, ‘standout’ among global economies. After an extensive

slouch, factory output around the world is ramping up.

Data suggests, every time PMI crosses above its 3 month moving average commodity

prices as well as commodity stocks have rallied approximately 70% of time in next three

months.

Precious metal prices have been underperforming Base metal prices since the start of

the commodity Bull Run. At current juncture precious metal to base metal ratio is at its

extreme tail and possible reversion to the mean could occur.

The current phase, which we are going through has the same characteristics of the

2000-2008 phase where there is uptick in U.S. interest rate and inflation. Base metals

have been outperforming other asset classes and precious metals would now join the

rally.

Silver ETF continues to see inflows whereas Gold ETF inflow surges after 3 years of

consistent outflow. The current gold ETF flow grew 20% YoY while silver ETFs have seen

consistent inflows.

Nifty stalled at 10150 in-lines with our expectation. The long term target of 11500

remains intact while 9700-9600 remains strong base for the short term. Thus,

corrections in Index will continue to remain buying opportunity.

The NSE 100 Materials Sector is a GICS (Global industry classification standard) Sector

index created giving equal weights to the prices of stocks that are classified under the

material sector. The Index is at its 9 year trend line support breaking out of a minor

consolidation. The index has stocks mainly from metals, cement and paint sectors.

Furthermore we individually break down the sectors and like them purely on charts.

Sectors which can outperform the broader market from current scenario are Cement,

Paints and Metals.

Precious Metals/Base Metals Ratio

Precious metals prices have been underperforming Base metal prices since the start of the commodity bull

run. At current juncture precious metals to base metal ratio is at its extreme tail and possible reversion to the

mean could occur as Precious metals can start out performing base metals.

Gold has historically proven as an inflationary hedge. During the period 2000–2008 rising interest rates and

inflation supported precious metals upmove. Base metals have a tendency to rally in the initial phase while

precious metals rally later. The phase of 2008-2011 saw gold surging and outperforming all asset classes due

to safe haven demand. Following its phase of outperformance, 2011-2016 saw gold underperforming and

correcting by almost 45% from high as inflation and interest rate inched lower. The current phase, which we

are going through has the same characteristics of the 2000-2008 phase where there’s uptick in U.S. interest

rate and inflation, base metals have been outperforming other asset classes and precious metals would

now join the rally.

GOLD- An inflatinary hedge or a safe haven buy?

Source: Edelweiss Investment Research

Conventional wisdom says that higher interest rate is bad for precious metals. However, the above chart

paints the different picture. Historically, we have seen rising U.S. inflation and rising interest rate spurred the

rally in to yellow metal during 1971-1980. In fact, we observed that during the period of lower interest rate

cycle, Gold prices underperformed other asset class (Phase B). The period of 2002-2008 was again marked by

rising inflation and interest rate cycle which led to tremendous rally in Gold. The current decade till now has

seen underperformance of Gold as interest rate cycle has remained low on global crisis. However, since last

year we have seen an uptick in U.S. interest-rate cycle on improving inflation and so is the rebound in gold

prices. Going ahead, rising inflation and interest rate cycle should kick start the rally in precious metals?

Source: Bloomberg.

As per Elliot wave theory, international gold prices ended its 5 wave decline in early 2016 which marked the

bottom for gold prices at $1044.00. Since then, gold price is rising in corrective wave abc. While waves a and

b are completed, corrective wave c is in progress which would take the gold prices higher towards $1450.00

as per wave equality.

Silver Demand: All Industries

Source: Edelweiss Investment Research

The demand for solar PV usage is becoming a key component for the silver market. The fastest growing

industrial segment for silver has been its use in Photovoltaic (PV) panels for solar energy. Silver demand for

photovoltaic (PV) is rising against its other industrial uses since last few years. Photovoltaic (PV) demand for

silver surged in 2016 to 2,382 TN, up 34% from the previous year. This growth was the strongest since 2010

and was driven by a 49% increase in global solar panel installations, fuelled largely by a doubling of annual

solar panel installations in China and the United States. According to the study by CRU Consulting, it

estimates strong growth in silver PV demand over the next 5 years with an annual average of 114 million

ounces. Peak consumption of 148 million ounces is forecast in 2018 which is twice that of 2015 demand.

SILVER – Tighten your Seat Belt

Time cycle analysis in Silver reveals that price marks an important or major bottom every 7th year, following

which leads to a massive rally in silver prices. Every 7th year bottom is marked by more than 60%

retracement of previous up move. Silver prices have retraced more than 60% of its previous up move of

2008-2011 and has bottomed last year in 2016 which was a 7th year since last bottom. So, are we ready for

the Drive/Rally?

Palladium

Palladium prices have been outperforming the precious metals ever since the bearish trend which began in

2011. Post 2016 bottom, prices have shown strength and has now rallied towards 17 year’s high. The price

action of Palladium during last 17 years has led to a formation of Bullish Cup & Handle pattern, which

projects a massive upside target in coming years.

Platinum

While Palladium is outperforming the precious metals, Platinum has remained the underperformer. Platinum

prices found support near its previous lower level. The rebound in Platinum post 2016 low has formed an

impulsive price action on charts indicating strength. Platinum is consolidating since last few months and a

rally in other precious metals should ignite a fire in this underperforming metal.

Gold W.R.T Curruncies of its Major Producers

Gold/Chinese yuan

China is the largest gold producer among its peers producing almost 1/3rd

more than the next competitor.

The Gold to CNY ratio has been consolidating in a tapering range in the last couple of years but currently it

stands at an inflection point and has broken out of this consolidation. This indicates that gold has been

outperforming the pair in the long term and will now resume its uptrend.

Gold/Australian Dollar

Although Gold production in Australia took a bit of a tumble last year, dropping from 278 MT in 2015 to 270

MT in 2016 it still stands as the second largest producer of gold. The GOLD/Australian dollar ratio is forming

a cup & handle pattern signaling an end to its consolidation period. After a consolidation of 7 years gold is

set to break out and outperform the currency.

With roughly ⅙ of the world’s landmass, Russia is definitely one of the major producers. According to the US

Geological Survey, Russia’s gold reserves stand at 8,000 MT, second only to Australia at 9,500 MT. The ratio

is trading in a long term upward channel. Gold has been underperforming the currency in the 12 months and

is currently at its extreme underperformance and channel support. We expect a reversal from these levels

and gold to outperform the currency.

Gold/Canadian Dollar

Source: Bloomberg.

Gold production in Canada rose noticeably in 2016. Last year, the country reported output 170 MT of gold,

compared to 153 MT in 2015. GOLD/CAD ratio has formed a cup & handle pattern similar to GOLD/AUD

indicating an end of a 7 year consolidation. All the above charts of Gold W.R.T their currencies indicate that

either gold is at its extreme underperformance or at a verge of breakout. This further strengthens our

hypothesis that gold would lead the precious metals pack and a structural uptrend would be established in

gold.

In the above chart, we have presented long term view on Nifty. We have used Elliott wave principle to

analyze and forecast market trend by identifying extremes in investor psychology, highs and lows in prices,

and other collective factors.

The current wave structure indicates that we are currently in the final impulsive leg which is likely to end at

11500 level. Nifty remains in long term bull market trajectory. Thus any correction within this up trend will be

short lived and eventually market will turn northwards.

As mentoined in our previous Chartwatchers edition, Nifty is currently progressing in wave (iii) of larger

degree Wave (V). Wave i of (iii) started from 6800 level and ended near 9000 level. Wave (iii) as we

expected, as per wave equality ended at 10150 level. Index is now undergoing correction which could exibit

traingle or flag pattern. Wave iv should end in the territory 9700-9600 Thus, corrections in Index will

conitnue to remain buying opportunity.

equal weights to the prices of stocks that are classified under the material sector. The Index is at its 9 year

While Base Metal commodities still trend higher, the metal pack has taken off. Compared to its peers

Hindzinc has not achived a good return in the last few months. Currently The stock has shown a breakout and

could catch up with the other metal stocks. Overall on the long term the stock is trading in an upward sloping

channel. We could see a conservative target of 360.

Glenmark – Sell

Pharmaceutical stocks have not yet come out of their bearish trend. We believe Glenmark is one stock which

traders can look to sell for the downside target of 10% or more. The Stock is making lower high and lower low

on the weekly chart, indicating downtrend. Stock recently tested its resistance which earlier was a strong

support

Hindzinc – Accumulate at
