kobayashiGT Internal Moderator February 19, 2020 Share February 19, 2020 Gold tops US$1,600 as virus fuels growth fears source: https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/energy-commodities/gold-tops-us1600-as-virus-fuels-growth-fears [SINGAPORE] Gold traded near the highest level since 2013 on concerns over the spread of the new coronavirus and how it's impacting global growth. Palladium topped US$2,700 an ounce as it continued its record-breaking rally. Bullion steadied after surging 1.3 per cent Tuesday's as Apple Inc's warning that the virus and efforts to contain it would have its sales missing forecasts spurred a sell off in stocks. China's death toll from the disease topped 2,000, while the province at the centre of the outbreak reported fewer additional cases. The flight to safety has benefited haven assets, with the rally spilling over to the palladium market, where a multi-year deficit is expected to widen in 2020. Gold is up 5.6 per cent this year as investors assess the impact of the disease on economic growth and appetite for risk amid speculation that the Federal Reserve will feel increased pressure to reduce interest rates. The US central bank has said the effects of the virus have presented a "new risk" to the outlook and traders will study minutes from the Fed's latest meeting, due later on Wednesday, for any hint of a dovish tone. Spot gold was little changed at US$1,601.88 an ounce at 11.46am in Singapore. Prices had touched US$1,611.42 in early January, the highest since 2013, as geopolitical tensions flared. The unfolding health emergency has seen holdings in global exchange-traded funds backed by bullion expand to a record. Palladium climbed 3 per cent to US$2,709.10 an ounce, an all-time high. "A deficit equivalent to about 20 per cent of the palladium market is expected to be sustained this year, helping explain the surge in prices," said Vivek Dhar, an analyst at Commonwealth Bank of Australia. Demand is being driven by environmental regulations, particularly in China, which has increased palladium use in vehicles and should offset any recent weakness in car sales, he said. ↡ Advertisement 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeobt Supercharged July 25, 2020 Share July 25, 2020 Guys, I'm a new small player on gold recently. Just been spending some money on some gold bars when the price started to rise from usd1600. And it just hit 1900. 😳 I'm considering to buy some more. Do you think it will continue to spike? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lala81 Hypersonic July 25, 2020 Share July 25, 2020 I will buy the gold ETF as a hedge since I'm holding excess USD which i changed but is getting devalued. I think the price will be steady and definitely more resilient than equities if the market crashes again. And if the US continues to keep releasing money into the system, it can't really depreciate much in the short term. Looking at it to rise? Not really what I own it for. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically with US printing USD's and the currency getting "adulterated" (QE) with trillion dollar handouts to jump start , precious metals will appreciate; same during last QE , Aud will also appreciate 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya, judging what fed will do.. Print even more money. Gold and silver will continue to rise. The next thing people really need to look out for is the devalue of usd. Currently usd still managed to hold is because foreign countries are holding the dollar and usd is the reserve currency. Once usd is no longer a reserve currency, that's it. http://www.globaltimes.cn/content/1116043.shtml See what China is doing, China is trying to move away from usd for many years already. Think China knew what will happen to usd, but because they are reserve currency, so need to slowly move away from that by building relationships with other countries and to trade with Chinese yuan. With now trump keep put stanchions on China, put huawei, tick tock on ban list and etc. That will accelerate China plan to move away from usd even faster. China also buying gold to keep stock. The usd as a reserve currency really can't keep any much longer. Edited August 1, 2020 by Yewheng 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
