Boost Research-A golden short for the long run
May 20, 2013--Summary
Gold's fundamentals deteriorate: benign inflation, stock market rallies, resilient dollar and macro-stability undermine its price
High real price of gold is off by ~30% from 2011 peak. The directional downturn from the
1980 peak may suggest the bear market for gold has much further to go
Investors seeking to hedge against a fall in the gold price may consider a short leveraged gold position using the Boost Gold 3x Short Daily ETP (3GOS)
The bull case for gold may be fading fast: momentum rallies have been lacking fundamental support and have been short-lived. The macro backdrop, in a nutshell: a recovering US, a restructuring Europe and a rebalancing China as China moves away from exports to consumption. Disinflation, not inflation, is underpinning the trend in consumer prices, undermining the case for gold.

Eurozone trapped in austerity-led recession
May 15, 2013-- The dogged recession across the eurozone has snared key economy France, with the latest EU figures released Wednesday showing a full year-and-a-half of contraction as tens of millions languish in unemployment.
In Brussels, French President Francois Hollande tipped 'zero' growth on the national level, blaming an EU-wide, German-led austerity trap -- and hitting out at banks for holding back on lending as he and fellow leaders battle to unlock taxable assets hidden in offshore bank vaults or breathe life into training programmes for Europe's disillusioned youth.
