Gold-Euro delinkage creates new market dynamic

"Gold market guru and AngloGold Ashanti marketing director Kelvin Williams said yesterday that a significant dislocation had been seen in the relationship between the precious metal, the dollar and the euro over the June quarter.

Speaking at the world`s number-two gold producer`s second-quarter results presentation, Williams said that the `interesting behaviour` was not immediately evident in the statistics, which had remained relatively flat, but that the sympathetic relationship between the euro and gold had definitely been dislodged over the last three months.

If the previous pattern had been sustained, the dollar-gold price should have depreciated by about 10% to around $400/oz in sympathy with the weaker euro, which declined in the face of a resurgent dollar. Instead it remained firmly above the $420 level, ending the quarter at $427/oz, Williams pointed out.

He said that the gold market during the June quarter had been helped by the increase in the net long positions on the New York Comex, which rose from 6-million oz at the end of May to 18-million oz at the end of June.

Since June that long position had halved, but had only had a $15 impact on the price, which remained above the $420/oz level.

He argued that the break between the way gold traded in relation to the world`s two major currencies was significant, but admitted that opinions were divided about the relationship going forward."

South African gold miners to go ahead with strike Sunday
Sun Aug 7, 2005 2:23 PM BST

JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - Around 100,000 South African gold miners will launch the first industry-wide strike in 18 years later on Sunday to press demands for better wages, the country`s biggest mining union said.

"The main issue is that at 6 p.m. (5 p.m. British time) tonight, the strike is beginning," Gwede Mantashe, general secretary of the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM), told a news conference.

"Tonight there will be a strike, our forces are ready."

South Africa`s gold industry is the biggest producer of bullion in the world, accounting for around 15 percent of total global output, and the mining sector contributes about 8 percent to the nation`s gross domestic product.

A strike would lead to the loss of around 28,000 ounces of gold production and 79 million rand in lost revenue per day, a Deutsche Securities analyst has estimated.

...Unions are demanding a rise of between 10 and 12 percent.

Wages make up around half of total costs in the labour intensive sector, the biggest in terms of mining employment.

The strike would paralyse the South African mines of the world`s No. 2 gold producer AngloGold Ashanti, fourth-ranked Gold Fields, sixth-placed Harmony Gold and South Deep, a joint venture of South Africa`s Western Areas and Canada`s Placer Dome.

...Mining firms, which gave workers a 10 percent wage rise two years ago, have taken a tough stand, saying they cannot afford rises much above inflation, which is running below 4 percent.

Investors Not Put Off by S. Africa Strikes
By Gordon Bell

Aug 05, 2005

CAPE TOWN - South Africa is reeling from a wave of strikes that grounded the national airline and now threatens to cripple gold mines, but the stoppages will not damage investor perceptions of a country pushing to lift growth.
Strikes are common in Africa`s largest economy as the annual wage talks season draws to a close but this year`s union actions have been more hostile than in recent years as workers battle to share in the fruits of a growing economy.

Police fired tear gas at protesting shop assistants last week and passengers were left stranded across the world during a bitter six-day strike at South African Airways.

Now the mine sector -- which contributes around 8 percent of gross domestic product -- is battling to avert the first industry-wide gold mining strike in 18 years, which unions threaten to start on Sunday.

Frustration among miners who say they are not sharing in a booming economy would paralyse the South African mines of some of the world`s top gold producers -- AngloGold Ashanti, Gold Fields and Harmony Gold.

If the miners` strike goes ahead, gold companies stand to lose around 28,000 ounces of gold production and 79 million rand ($12.21 million) in lost revenue per day, a Deutsche Securities analyst has said.

Sasfin chief investment strategist Craig Pheiffer said any strike could hit mine earnings hard. "Most of them (mines) are making losses and any extra day without production could be critical".

But analysts say the stoppages will not significantly dent investor and market perceptions so long as they have no knock-on effect on monetary policy.

"I would downplay the impact of the strikes, I don`t think they have been on the radar screen (of dealers)," analyst Koon Chow of CS First Boston told Reuters from London.

South Africa`s capital markets have shrugged off the strikes and the rand currency jumped to a 2-month high this week after Standard & Poor`s upped its rating -- which was already investment grade.

"The only way it would really impact on the market is if people thought that wage increases would accelerate, inflation rises quickly and monetary policy would be forced to respond," Chow said.
