Investors are dumping billions of dollars worth of gold, commodities and emerging market assets in a wave of "capitulation" selling, Bank of America Merrill Lynch said today as reported by Reuters.
Gold and copper prices have hit five and six year lows respectively this week. Funds flows data showed the biggest outflow from precious metals in four months and emerging market fund outflows reaching $10 billion over the last two weeks.
"Capitulation is beginning in emerging markets, resources and commodities," BAML analysts wrote. The receding threat of Greece crashing out of the euro has helped deflate safe-haven demand for gold, while the likelihood of a U.S. interest rate hike this year has spooked emerging markets.
Gold and silver are oversold on a host of indicators and due a bounce. Smart money is again accumulating on the dip and we have had a busy week - with some a small amount of concerned selling but more clients adding to allocations on the current price dip.
Capitulation tends to be a good time to allocate funds by dollar cost averaging into weakness.
