Chinese speculators and the gold price rally
The rise in the price of gold in spring 2024 surprised many. But soon an ounce of gold could even cost 3,000 US dollars.
(PresseBox) - March and April saw a gold rush, driven mainly by futures traders on the Chinese Shanghai Futures Exchange (SHFE) and the Shanghai Gold Exchange (SGE). The trading volume in SHFE gold futures rose by around 400%. Chinese traders and investors have therefore fueled the gold market. Americans, on the other hand, have sold gold-related assets in the last three years. This was due to high real interest rates on the one hand and a high level of financial complacency on the other.
The ten-year US real interest rate, i.e. the inflation-adjusted interest rate, is close to a 20-year high. This is driving investors into assets such as bonds, funds and savings accounts. At the same time, non-yielding assets such as precious metals, for which there is no interest, are readily sold. If, on the other hand, real interest rates are low or negative, precious metals become more attractive. Gold is known in the USA as a "fear investment". This is why demand increases during financial crises or recessions. China s economy is now in crisis, just think of the crash of the Chinese real estate market. And interest rates in China are low, which is good for the demand for gold there. With the weakness in the stock and real estate markets, the Chinese, including small investors, have turned to gold.
Interest waned in mid-April, the gold price was high and the SHFE and SGE set daily price limits. Interest in gold and a price increase similar to that seen in March and April could now return with Chinese gold futures traders as the driving force. China s continued weakening economy should ensure strong demand for gold in the coming years. China and India could recognize that prices are high, but are not likely to fall, but rather continue to rise. Gold companies such as Aurania Resources or GoldMining should therefore be in high demand.
