The gold market in June

Even if the central banks‘ gold purchases alone do not ensure higher gold prices, they act as a hedge against falling gold prices. In the gold trade, it can currently be seen that the number of private investments made in the U.S. is increasing. At the same time, demand in China, India, Hong Kong and Turkey was lower. In China, it was still relatively robust. In the U.S., gold holdings in ETFs increased, as did COMEX gold holdings. About a quarter of the central banks surveyed intend to increase their gold holdings further, even though there were even some outflows in April, probably due to a liquidity shortage. Gold continues to represent a stable investment opportunity, inflation protection and the desired diversification. Arguments that are also valid for private investors. What is likely to stand in the way of a rise in the gold price right now is the market’s opinion that the Fed could announce a 25-basis point hike next time. Because some representatives of the Fed had spoken out in favor of the possibility of a new rate hike. Although the U.S. dollar is currently showing strength, the gold price has thus still held up well.

By the way, from January to April, China made 184.5 tons of net gold imports. This was around three times as much as in the same period of the previous year. At that time, the strict lockdowns were still in effect. Whether or not the Fed has completed its cycle of increases, a temporary correction in the price of gold is likely to be temporary and not to change the overall positive picture. Investors should follow the lead of the central banks and position part of their assets in the gold market. For example, with the stocks of Condor Gold or Maple Gold Mines.
