Gold soars to record in sixth straight session

Spot gold surged to a lifetime high on Friday in holiday-thinned trade, hitting a record for a sixth consecutive session on a weak dollar and factors ranging from geopolitical uncertainty to inflation concerns.

Silver also raced to its loftiest in 31 years, notching the milestone for a seventh straight day and outstripping gold's weekly gains by a huge margin.

A prolonged euro zone sovereign debt crisis, unrest in the Middle East and North Africa, rising global inflation, and most recently worries over the fiscal stability of the United States and a sharply weaker dollar have fueled the record-breaking rally in these precious metals.

Spot gold rose to a record of $1,510.80 an ounce, before easing to $1,507.10 by 0710 GMT, on track for a weekly gain of 1.6 percent -- its sixth consecutive week of gains.

Spot silver hit a 31-year high at $46.69 an ounce, on course for a weekly rise of 8.4 percent, its biggest weekly increase in two months.

Silver has gained 51 percent so far this year, and gold 6 percent. This compares with a corresponding rise of just 1 percent in the London Metal Exchange price of copper, the bellwether of the industrial metals complex.

So long as the overall environment remains supportive and the dollar remains weak, gold is expected to remain strong, but a correction might be on the horizon after the rapid ascent, traders and analysts said.

The dollar index , which measures the greenback against a basket of currencies, was languishing near a three-year low, and could take a run at the all-time low hit in 2008, pressured by record low interest rates and the crushing weight of the U.S. budget deficit.

"Gold is likely to consolidate around the $1,500-level next week," said Li Ning, an analyst at Shanghai CIFCO Futures. "The angle of the recent rally is very sharp, and we are bound to see some correction in the near term."

MORE STEAM TO RUN ON?

Spot gold has rallied more than $50, or nearly 4 percent, in the past seven sessions. The Relative Strength Index, or RSI, rose to nearly 75, a level unseen since October last year, suggesting the market has been heavily overbought.

The RSI on spot silver climbed close to 89, its highest since April 1987.

The gold market may have topped out, and now is the time to sell while there are still people willing to buy, said Barry Schwartz, vice president and portfolio manager at Toronto-based wealth manager Baskin Financial Services.

Shanghai CIFCO's Li said gold still has more steam to run on and expected prices to peak at $1,550 by the end of the second quarter, buoyed by Middle East unrest, sovereign debt concerns on both sides of the Atlantic and inflation worries.

Concerns over rising global inflation are likely to drive gold even higher in the next few years, albeit at a slower pace, analysts polled by Reuters said.

The Shanghai Gold Exchange has started a trial for over-the-counter trading, providing a convenient tool for institutional clients to trade large quantities of gold.

Holdings in the physically backed exchange-traded precious metals funds dipped ahead of the long Easter weekend. SPDR Gold Trust , the world's biggest gold ETF, saw holdings dip 0.6 tonnes to 1,229.643 tonnes.

Financial markets in Singapore and Hong Kong are closed on Friday for a public holiday, and Hong Kong will remain closed on Monday.

Axis Bank bullish on growth, Q4 net up 35.5%

The third largest private sector lender Axis Bank today sounded bullish about growth this fiscal on the back of a robust 33.5% rise in net profit at over Rs 1,020 crore in quarter to March driven by a massive jump in total interest incomes.

During the quarter, the bank saw its fee income from large and mid-corporate growing 68%, treasury by 79% and retail by 45%. For the full year, fee income stood at Rs 3,790 crore, up 30% over Rs 2,925 crore.

Though there has been a marginal deceleration in the net interest margin (NIM) in Q4, which came down to 3.44% against 3.81% and to 3.65% from 3.75% for the full year, a 48.3% jump in interest income to Rs 5,817 crore in Q4, coupled with a decline in stressed assets, could take care of the decline.

The bank had a net profit of Rs 764.8 crore in Q4 of FY10. During the quarter, the interest income improved to Rs 4,366.6 crore against Rs 2,988.4 crore.

"We are hopeful of improving upon the robust numbers in FY11 in the current fiscal. I expect advances growth to be around 25% , which would be above industry average. A similar growth is expected on deposit front too," executive director and chief financial officer Somnath Sengupta told PTI in a conference call here today.

On the Enam deal, Sengupta said, they had an in-principle approval from RBI, under which, the bank was asked not to allow any Enam shareholders who may buy into Axis shares a position on the board of the bank.

On whether Enam chairman Vallabh Bansali would be on the board, he said, no call has been taken on this. He also ruled out any renegotiation of the price it paid for the deal, which was questioned by RBI, saying the regulator has not told them anything about it. .
