Price Drivers

Technical picture

The pullback in the gold price is a correction that has not altered the trend. This remains to the upside. A weaker euro has led to higher prices for gold in the euro and lower prices in the dollar. This shows a recovering dollar is the main reason for gold’s fall at the moment.

Over the last day global uncertainty has increased due to issues on both sides of the Atlantic and in the Middle East.

Middle East

In the Middle east tensions there continue to rise as actions are taken against Qatar. It is clear that this is not simply political issues between the Persian Gulf nations but between the two sides of Islam. These cannot be solved by simple diplomacy. We can’t see a solution to these or to terror itself. At best, the police in different countries may be able to contain it, but with wars smashing on in different parts of the Middle East over the religious issues, we cannot see an end of them at all.

British Elections have turned out to be disaster for Prime Minister May as we see a hung Parliament. As a result we expect to see more easing and perhaps a rate cut in the near future as uncertainty kicks into the way forward for Brexit. Most believed that the only issue was the size of the conservative majority. But this result changes things. Already the gold price is rising in the pound sterling, as the pound falls heavily.

This is a year of considerable surprises.We now look to Italy for the next surprise.

The Dollar

The dollar is stronger today as it consolidates. This is the prime reason the gold price has fallen in the dollar. It has risen in other currencies.

With gold ETF purchases continuing in the U.S. uncertainty surrounding the way forward under President Trump increases. The resulting slowing of his agenda continues to provide a backdrop for gold to rise, but the markets see in Comey’s testimony, no reason to fall. It does appear so far that there are no grounds for impeachment of him, but his agenda does seem to be mired in controversy.

Gold ETFs –Yesterday, sawpurchases of 2.071 tonnes of gold and with the last two days before this the total purchases of the last three days is 17.005 tonnes of gold bought into the two gold ETFs, in the last three days. Yesterday saw 0.6 of a tonne bought into the Gold Trust.

Their holdings are now at 866.998 tonnes and, at 206.16 tonnes respectively.

U.S. buyers continue strong buyers of physical gold now. Today we may see a pause in their buying as the gold price consolidates at lower levels.

Since January 4th 2016, 261.41 tonnes of gold have been added to the SPDR gold ETF and to the Gold Trust.  Since January 6th 2017 61.364 tonnes have been added to the SPDR gold ETF and the Gold Trust.
