What drives the gold price? What drives the gold price?

In order of importance: The strength (or lack of it) of the US economy

In other words

A weak US$ rate and high rates of inflation = strong investment demand Hence the rise in popularity of the exchange traded fund (ETF)

Jewellery demand

  • Entrenched in the Indian and South East Asian markets
  • Fairly price inelastic
  • Fairly price inelastic

New Supply

  • Is only half of total demand
  • Is only half of total demand
  • Above surface stocks remain at 30 000 tons of gold

Major sources of demand for gold Major sources of demand for gold

Jewellery fabrication

  • jewellery industry is the largest source of demand. In recent years demand in this

industry has exceeded Western mine production and the shortfall has been bridged by supplies from reclaimed jewellery and other industrial scrap, as well as release of

  • fficial sector reserves

Industrial applications

  • besides jewellery, gold has many applications in a variety of industries including

aerospace, medicine, electronics (manufacture of computers, telephones, televisions, and other equipment) and dentistry

Governments and central banks buy gold to increase their reserves Private investors who make the price on the margin and are the most important p g p drivers of the gold price

Conclusion Conclusion

High oil prices put the global economy at risk implying higher gold prices Turmoil in the Middle East, Africa and Europe likely to continue for years Geological disturbances (natural disasters) appear to be on the increase Geological disturbances (natural disasters) appear to be on the increase US inflation is bottoming – positive for gold US Dollar weakness will likely continue – despite all the problems Gold price should rise through 2012 to 2015 p g SA gold mines unlikely to benefit due to the rand effect B ETF B lli fi t h i Buy ETFs or Bullion as first choice Buy TSX gold shares as second choice
