GLOBAL ECONOMIC SCENARIO: Economies on the road to recovery but will it be sustainable?
Global Economy is in the recovery mode YoY % change in the real GDP growth rate
(All major economies showing rebound)
After the turmoil in the financial markets, strong
rebound has been seen globally
Global economic scenario continues to remain unclear despite initial rebound, strengthening the case for investments in “safe havens” like Silver and Gold 4
GLOBAL ECONOMIC SCENARIO: Need for “safe haven” investments
USA is one of the key drivers of the global economy Gold prices have been climbing in all currencies
“Safe haven” for investors: Central banks/ Sovereign funds have large exposures
towards US Dollar and US Treasuries
Consumption-driven economy: USA accounts for substantial portion of exports for
countries like Japan, UK and China
One of the worst hit by recession: USA tackled the crisis by
~ pushing more money into the failing systems
~ resorting to extensive cost cutting measures across industries to achieve GDP growth
These factors have made the global investors wary on the account of
Historically, silver and gold have given best returns when real rate of return is
low or negative
Both these factors coming into play, gold prices are rising in all currencies

Silver & Gold are increasingly turning out to be an internationally favored “safe haven” investments in light of uncertainty on how dollar plays out in future
and the consequent need for Sovereign funds to hedge their exposure on USD.

There is an over-supply situation in case of Silver when only industrial demand is considered
In 2010, total fabrication demand is expected to increase by 3% to 23,320 tonnes, while supply
Source: ScotiaMocatta report on Silver, 2010
is forecast to grow to 27,473 tonnes, leaving a surplus of 4,153 tonnes
At the end of September 2009, the combined holdings of investments in silver stood at 10,958 tonnes which is still 1.4% below the peak holding
Hence under current economic scenario there will be sufficient investor interest to support and strengthen silver prices
Annual Silver Demand break up (Moz.) Annual Silver Supply break up (Moz.)
The combination of restocking, pick- up in actual demand and ongoing investment buying will more than overcome the surplus supply 6
and should cause Silver prices to continue to rise strongly and trade within a USD 13/oz to USD 25/oz range in the next one year
GOLD: Set to rise backed by high investment demand
Oil Prices
For past 4 years, sales under Central Bank Gold
Agreement have been below the max allowable
limit of 500 tonnes/p.a.
This year the maximum allowable limit has been
further reduced to 400 tonnes/p.a.

run higher in anticipation of economic recovery; the With countries like China and Russia looking to
rising oil price is also likely to be seen as inflationary increase gold reserves, Net supply from official
which, in turn, would be supportive for Gold prices sales is expected to be low in the coming years.

TECHNICAL INDICATORS: Sustained bull run for Gold while Silver to outrun Gold
will be challenged
Silver: In the past 5 years, Silver has had a roller-coaster ride with some fast
Historical highs
and long rallies interspersed with steep and aggressive sell-offs, exhibiting
higher volatility than Gold.
Gold: Currently trading close to all time high prices, and the stochastic
indicators suggest the bull run to continue.
Silver: Post rapid sell-off in 2008, prices are again trending higher. If the up
channel continues to push prices higher then prices are likely to gradually

Bull run amidst
overcome the overhead band of supply - the top of which is at USD 19.47/oz.
This would then open up the way for a challenge of the highs at USD 21.36/oz
Gold: After a long period of consolidation post run up to USD 1,006/oz, prices Source: ScotiaMocatta report on Silver, 2010
have broken higher out of the triangle and are in the process of setting fresh all
time highs.
More room for speculation
Silver: The net long position last at 47,410 contracts, is still 12.4% below the
peak in 2008 and 29.2% below the high in 2006. So with Silver prices also 23%
below their 2008 peak, there is greater room for speculators and good potential
for prices to rise
Gold: The net long position at 236,749 contracts has surpassed the previous
high of 212,259 contracts. However, given 2008 peak was 20% above the 2005
peak, the market could sustain net long position climbing another 20,000
contracts or so.
