GLOBAL MARKETS-Gold and bonds soar as Fed's purchases eyed |
Reuters - Sept. 27, 2010 - By Walter Brandimarte
* Gold hits all-time high at $1,300 an ounce
* Bond prices up as U.S. stocks halt 4-week rally
* Dollar flat against euro after hitting 5-month high (Updates to early afternoon)
By Walter Brandimarte
NEW YORK, Sept 27 (Reuters) - Gold hit a record high of $1,300 per ounce and U.S. Treasury prices surged on Monday on renewed worries about euro-zone debt and expectations the Federal Reserve will further ease monetary policy.
U.S. and European stocks slipped as investors reassessed the strength of the equity markets' four-week rally. That rethinking of the rally occurred in the face of rising concerns over the fiscal condition of Portugal and Ireland.
European debt fears also weighed on the euro, although the dollar continued to weaken against other major currencies on expectations that the Fed will pour money into the U.S. economy to support its fledging recovery.
"The bias is still to sell dollars right now in the wake of the Fed's announcement last week that it is ready to inject more stimulus to the U.S. economy," said Vassili Serebriakov, senior currency strategist at Wells Fargo in New York.
Gold benefited from the prospects of more monetary stimulus, which could prove inflationary down the road, as well as from some investors' flight-to-quality bid.
Spot gold XAU= rose to $1,296.80 an ounce after hitting an historic $1,300 an ounce, compared with $1,295.60 quoted late in New York on Friday.
"Momentum is still very much in favor of gold," said Jesper Dannesboe, senior commodity strategist at Societe Generale. "I wouldn't dare go against it, and definitely wouldn't want to be short. There's good appetite to buy."
Investors snapped up U.S. Treasury debt, driven by their desire for safer investments and expectations of healthy demand at this week's Treasury auctions.
The price of the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury note US10YT=RR shot up 22/32, with the yield at 2.526 percent, down from late Friday's 2.612 percent. The 30-year bond US30YT=RR climbed over a point, up 49/32, with the yield at 3.7079 percent, down from 3.798 percent in late Friday trading.
At 1 p.m. (1800 GMT), the Treasury will sell $36 billion of two-year Treasury notes, followed by $35 billion in five-year notes on Tuesday and $29 billion in seven-year notes on Wednesday.
On Wall Street, the major U.S. stock indexes declined in spite of a flurry of corporate mergers and acquisitions.
