Because it\u2019s Friday and we\u2019re scratching around for content that speaks to us \u2013 even if it\u2019s a solid gold earworm with an amusing title.<\/p>\n<p>And\u2026 also because China keeps on buying gold in an attempt to protect itself against its shaky economic sitch, while America slowly digs itself a great big, inflating hole of irreversible debt of its own.<\/p>\n<p>In the ditty, the antagonist gets the spoils, while the protagonist is left with little else to show but a broken heart and a steaming hot mess of financial woe. Perhaps the shaft, in this sense, is made from US currency.<\/p>\n<p>In a global sense, the prominent BRICS Eastern powerhouse very much aims to be the \u2018antagonist\u2019 as it looks to diversify away as fast as it can from the US dollar. And that\u2019s in order to reduce its geo-economic vulnerabilities within the overarching dollar-dominated global economic system.<\/p>\n<p>China is the world\u2019s largest consumer of gold. According to broker Citi (via a Carl Capolingua <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marketindex.com.au\/news\/why-china-loves-gold-and-why-theyre-buying-plenty-of-it\">article<\/a> for <em>Market Index<\/em>), China gobbles up about 60% of global mine production, and around two-thirds of all annual global gold supply.<\/p>\n<p>The US dollar, meanwhile, as remarkably strong as its been of late (thanks to the US Federal Reserve\u2019s interest rate hiking and holding), might well be due some crumbling at the edges if (more likely <em>when<\/em>) the Fed turns the money printer back on come the US election \u2013 in order to help Sleepy Joe look like he\u2019s actually doing something right by the American people.<\/p>\n<p>In just about any future you look at, though \u2013 sticky, untameable inflation\/stagflation; the eventual predicted rate cuts still likely this year from a Fed that <em>says<\/em> it\u2019s got it under control; and then a Biden win or a supposedly nightmarish Trumpian apocalypse\u2026 gold\u2019s actually looking like one of the very best places to park money as a safe haven.<\/p>\n<p>Same as it ever was.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the song. Like we said, earworm.<\/p>\n\n<p>You\u2019re back. And so is gold. It\u2019s up again at the time of writing with a <strong>+0.3%<\/strong> gain.<\/p>\n<p>In US dollars it\u2019s doing the rounds at <strong>$2,357<\/strong>, and in the Aussie version, which always <em>sounds<\/em> better, it\u2019s changing hands around <strong>$3,567<\/strong>. Handy.<\/p>\n<p>Time for some second-hand analysis, some news items, and then some ASX goldie action.<\/p>\n<p>First up, who better to turn to than a global council that dedicates itself round the clock to the deeply analytical study of the gold market and its machinations? No one, that\u2019s who.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>The latest from the World Gold Council<\/h2>\n<p>The World Gold Council (WGC) this week released its Gold Market + ETF commentary reports for April.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a long read. Worth it, but long. So we\u2019ve cherry picked what we need here.<\/p>\n<p>Essentially, April saw gold gains slow compared to a strong March, rising 4% over the month, despite hitting an all time high again, earlier in the month.<\/p>\n<p>The cool off\/\u201dnew-high fatigue\u201d was due, says the council, to falling Chinese premia, lower Indian imports and flat-lining COMEX (Commodity Exchange Inc) positioning.<\/p>\n<p>That said, the trajectory is still up for gold overall. And the reason we\u2019re banging on about China above, is the fact its central bank is still buying up the precious metal like there\u2019s no more to be found in the ground ever again. Which is ridiculous, of course \u2013 it\u2019s not exactly a 100% finite hard currency, is it \u2013 like Bitc\u2026 nothing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor gold-backed ETFs, Asia-led global inflows and North American funds registered positive demand,\u201d noted the WGC.<\/p>\n<p>That said, these were dwarfed by European outflows. \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gold.org\/goldhub\/data\/gold-etfs-holdings-and-flows\">Physically backed gold ETFs<\/a> saw outflows of US$2bn in April, further extending aggregate losses to 11 consecutive months\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Australian Gold ETFs were down just 1%, by the way.<\/p>\n<p>Some WGC-noted positive thoughts\/upshot for gold going forward, though:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 China\u2019s PBoC and other central banks have continued to load up on gold in April. The biggest buyers in April included China, Turkey, and India.<\/p>\n<p>Source: World Gold Council; IMF IFS, Respective central banks<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Inflation in the US remains sticky, \u201cand the outlook seems to point once again to \u2018stagflation\u2019 which, in turn, is helping the case for gold and could encourage Western investors to join strong demand from Central banks and Far East buyers.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 \u201cAs we move from soft landing to higher-for-longer, while the Fed is not in any rush to cut rates, the rest of the economic picture may provide more incentives for Western investors to join the Eastern counterparts in adding gold to their investment strategies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Some other tidbits worth a mention<\/h2>\n<p>\u2022 Across the Atlantic, the <strong>Bank of England (BoE)<\/strong> has unsurprisingly kept its rate unchanged at 5.25%, in line with consensus. This has seemed to help buoy stock markets today, and the price of gold. Bitcoin, too.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Gold\u2019s price rise late this week is also being attributed to Chinese trade data showing a greater-than-expected rise in Chinese exports of 1.5% year-over-year in April, rebounding from a 7.5% drop a month earlier. This info comes per an fxstreet.com <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fxstreet.com\/news\/gold-ticks-higher-on-geopolitical-risk-and-positive-outlook-for-demand-202405091022\">report<\/a>, which reads:<\/p>\n<p><em>According to the data, imports rose 8.4%, beating the 5.4% forecast and the previous 1.9% drop. China is a key player in the global market for gold so strong economic data from the country impacts its valuation.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Meanwhile, in conversation with precious metals-focused media outlet <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kitco.com\/news\/article\/2024-05-09\/gold-prices-could-easily-reach-2500-year-jeff-clark-precious-metal-breakout\">Kitco<\/a> this week, Jeff Clark, editor of TheGoldAdvisor.com, noted that while central bank buying has indeed been supportive of gold prices, interest rate cuts later this year could send the metal higher.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis could be a banner year for central bank gold buying,\u201d said Clark. \u201cIn my humble opinion, that is not why the gold price is higher. I think central bank gold buying actually supports the price though. It\u2019s just an important component of this market,\u201d he said, adding:<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<strong>$2,500<\/strong> is easily within reach this year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 On the price prediction side of things, just returning to the Market Index article mentioned further above, and Capolingua notes that the Citi brokers, while of the belief gold could be a tad overextended in the short term, are \u201cclear gold bulls\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>He notes:<\/p>\n<p><em>They tip the gold price could trade with a \u20183\u2019 handle for the first time ever in the not-too-distant future, given their \u2018base case\u2019 is for <strong>gold to hit US$3,000\/oz within the next 12-15 months<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The era of a unipolar world is crumbling, giving way to the rise of a multipolar global order\u2026&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/LLh5LkyJt4\">https:\/\/t.co\/LLh5LkyJt4<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Gold Telegraph  (@GoldTelegraph_) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GoldTelegraph_\/status\/1788328303751045476?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 8, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>ASX Winners &amp; Losers<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Here\u2019s how ASX-listed precious metals stocks are performing, circa 4pm May 10:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Scroll or swipe to reveal table.
