[Zhishui Precious Metals Weekly report] negative US interest rates are expected to rise. Precious metals are expected to continue to rise next week.

SMM5 March 17:

Main points of investment:

Recent market expectations of the Fed's negative interest rate measures and the poor performance of economic data have led to precious metal prices breaking out of the consolidation range and opening up further. Precious metals are likely to accelerate in the short term.

What we need to be wary of is how likely it is to introduce negative interest rates. Judging from the current economic "arsenal" of the United States, there are still relatively sufficient measures to deal with the deterioration of the economy. I am afraid that after the expectation of negative interest rate speculation, investors need to do a good job in controlling the risk of their positions.

Operation suggestions:

II. Global Macroeconomy

1. Market expectations of negative US interest rates are rising

Futures contracts expiring in April and after 2021 still show that the market expects negative interest rates, according to the CME Group's FedWatch tool. The implied interest rate of the federal funds rate futures contract also shows that the benchmark policy rate will fall below zero by the second quarter of 2021. Before Powell spoke, the contract showed that interest rates were about half a basis point by the end of the first quarter of 2021.

Federal Reserve Chairman Colin Powell sent a clear message to interest rate futures traders on Wednesday: betting that the Fed will adopt a negative interest rate policy is very wrong. Powell said the committee's view on negative interest rates really hasn't changed. This is not what we are thinking about. Powell is the latest monetary policy maker to reject the idea of a negative interest rate policy. At least six of the 12 regional Fed chairmen have rejected the idea.

The actual monthly rate of retail sales in the United States in April was-16.40%, expected to be-12%, with a previous value of-8.4%. The monthly rate of core retail sales in the United States in April was actually announced at-17.20%, expected to be-8.5%, and the previous value was-4.2%. Data show that US retail sales fell at a monthly rate of 16.4 per cent in April, the biggest drop since records began in 1992.
