Gold Digger: Central banks just can’t get enough. Stockpiling could continue for years, says ANZ

Estimated read time 13 min read

ANZ analysts believe ’emerging’ central banks could buy over 600t of gold annually until 2030 
Citi isn’t totally ruling out a US$3,000 gold price in next 12-18 months
US gold mining giant Newmont divests six gold mines and two other gold projects

 

As we round out another week of up and down prices, blurting out things in our sleep like “FOMC MINUTES!” and EBITDA!”, and wondering whether to put down that underperforming lithium stock rabidly foaming in the barn so we can buy bulk crypto sh*tcoins instead… we turn to the price of ye Old Yeller.

Good ol’ faithful gold, that is.

(By the way, does 1957 film Old Yeller make you gently weep just even thinking about it and reading its premise on Wikipedia? No… er, no, me neither…)

Slightly hawkish “FOMC MINUTES!” now actually released into the wild, what’s doin’ for the price of the precious yellow one after the Fed expressed it wants to see a tad more progress on inflation taming before the interest-rate cutting predicted in H2?

At the time of key tapping and thinking about a golden ale, it’s changing hands for roughly US$2,029, and $3,088 in Aussie dollars.

Gold and other precious metals initially traded a bit weaker on the Fedspeak this week, but have since consolidated to a comfortable cruise-control, sideways-ranging position once again.

There’s not much else to say about that, so quick, let’s find us some analysis from some soothsaying banker types…

 

ANZ forsees more central bank buying

According to notes from strategists at major Aussie bank ANZ doing the rounds this week, central bank buying has been the most influential factor shaping the gold market over the past couple of years, and that narrative is only set to continue for the foreseeable.

Well, at least the next six years, anyway.

As noted by the World Gold Council, Kitco and anyone else keeping a close eye on this recently, central bank global reserves have risen by more than 1,000 tonnes in both 2022 and 2023, with China in particular, diving in head first.

Adding to that, ANZ’s commodity stategists noted that over that time central bank gold purchasing, positioned as a share in global demand, has tripled – representing between 25% in 2022 and 30% in 2023.

“EM [emerging market] central banks could purchase over 600 tonnes of gold annually until 2030, to take its share in their foreign reserves to 10%. China will likely occupy the lion’s share in global official gold demand,” the ANZ analysts said.

Factors for buying? Ah you know already.

Rising geopolitical uncertainty chestnut? Check. Growing economic risks and continued inflation pressures? Double check.

But ANZ’s experts also highlighted that governments and their central banks may also just be attempting to diversify their bond holdings.

“Global central banks are diversifying foreign reserves and accumulating gold to hedge against geopolitical risks and economic uncertainties,” said the bank bods, adding:

“Depleted trust in the US fixed income assets and the rise of non-reserve currencies are other themes that could support central bank gold buying.”

Chinese gold demand soars in Jan 2024, setting records in wholesale demand & ETF assets, driven by the strong RMB & safe-haven demand amid weak local assets. #Gold withdrawals from Shanghai Gold Exchange hit 271 tons, reflecting robust demand ahead of the Chinese New Year.… pic.twitter.com/gyEej0kFx6

And in other gold-related news

• As Kitco reports, Another major bank, Citi, thinks a US$3,000 gold price is not completely out of the question in the next 12 to 18 months. No, it’s not its base case, which is far more modest, around $2,150, but if absolutely everything lines up, including high central bank demand, “rapid de-dollerization” and the now more unlikely deep global recession, then… well, gold bugs might just be frothing at the mouth with excitement.

“‘The most likely wildcard path to $3,000/oz gold is a rapid acceleration of de-dollarization,” says Aakash Doshi from Citi. pic.twitter.com/HH3o4CRKMM

• American gold mining giant Newmont has announced it plans to divest six gold mines and two gold projects. And two are in Western Australia.

On that list are the Canadian mines  Éléonore, Musselwhite and Porcupine; Cripple Creek and Victor mine in the US, the Akyem mine in Ghana and the Telfer mine in WA, which came with Newmont’s acquisition of Newcrest late last year.

Newmont will also divest its 70 per cent stake in the Havieron project in WA, also gained from Newcrest. Greatland Gold owns the remaining 30 per cent.

Newmont considers these divestments “non-core assets” and plans to generate US$2 billion to boost cash reserves.

• Meanwhile, did you catch this? Donald Trump has launched a line of butt ugly gold-coloured sneakers for US$199 a pair… quickly selling out. At least they weren’t more of his crappy, stolen-artwork NFTs.

The collection includes high tops in gold with a “Never Surrender” design priced at $399, as well as red “T – Red Wave” and white “POTUS 45” laceless athletic shoes with a “T” and the number 45, priced at $199 each pic.twitter.com/NcQKFqTz1r

If gold fan Trump actually gets back into the White House, it’ll be very interesting to see how gold performs. Upon his election the first time round, the yellow metal initially did very well, before performing particularly poorly for the rest of his time in office.
