Mr. Hitesh Jain, Lead Analyst - Institutional Equities, YES SECURITIES on recent fall in gold prices

"Although Gold prices have tumbled recently in the wake of rising sovereign yields. We do not think yields will sustainably rise given the fact that governments do not favour higher yields on their accumulated gigantic debt. There is a prevalent divide between markets and central banks, wherein markets are pricing higher inflation and growth, while central banks remain accommodative and dovish. We assume that central banks will eventually rein in the yields with their asset purchases and also help their respective governments in keeping the borrowing costs low. On gold price trajectory, we still remain bullish considering the unprecedented government stimulus, bloated Central bank balance sheets and burgeoning sovereign debt. This is tantamount to debasement of currencies like the greenback. A structural decline in USD against the basket of currencies will also underpin the value of an alternative currency like Gold."
