On 9 March, gold closed the trading day at USD 1,322 per troy ounce, which was 0.7% higher than on the same day in February. The price was 9.9% higher than on the same day last year and was up 1.4% on a year-to-date basis. The moderation at the end of February was led by a strengthening U.S. dollar, expected tightening in global interest rates and subdued retail demand in India. Nevertheless, fears of a potential trade war followed U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to place import tariff s on steel and aluminum, supporting demand for gold, as it both increased the precious metal’s appeal as a hedge against uncertainty compared to U.S. bonds and equities, and put downward pressure on the U.S. dollar. In addition, gold demand in most Asian hubs was robust in recent weeks as activity increased following regional holidays. However, strong U.S. jobs data posted on 9 March limited gold’s gains. \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.focuseconomics.com\/\"\u003EFocusEconomics\u003C\/a\u003E analysts see gold prices moderating marginally in the coming quarters then bouncing back gradually in 2019. Competing pressures arising from the global geopolitical climate and developments in trade relations should continue to support demand, while monetary policy tightening in major economies is expected to weigh on the asset’s appeal. FocusEconomics analysts project gold prices to average USD 1,305 per troy ounce in Q4 2019. In 2019, gold prices are expected to rise, averaging USD 1,343 per troy ounce in Q4.\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003ESilver prices were up slightly over the last month in the first week of March after losing ground at the outset of February. They recovered in recent days due to upbeat industrial demand amid a stronger global economic picture. On 9 March, silver closed the trading day at USD 16.7 per troy ounce, which was 2.6% higher than on the same day in February. However, the price was down 2.0% on a year-to-date basis and was 2.5% lower than on the same day in 2017. While reports indicated a small supply surplus of silver in 2017 after four consecutive years of deficit, due to higher scrap supply, analysts predict that silver will post a supply deficit this year, propping up prices. Along with a decline in global mine supply, stronger demand for industrial usage of silver from solar panel makers and the auto sector as it moves towards increased electrification, has placed upward pressure on prices. Moreover, the recent upturn in prices came as President Trump decided to impose hefty tariff s on imported steel and aluminum, shaking up markets and intensifying fears of a full-blown trade war. This fueled more safe-haven demand for silver. However, the president’s anticipated meeting with North Korea’s leader, Kim Jong-un, could ease geopolitical tensions and dampen safe-haven demand. Prices are expected to rise this year as supply remains constrained and demand from industrial applications continues to grow. Expectations of higher jewelry demand and higher volatility in fi nancial markets are also seen driving up prices. FocusEconomics Consensus Forecast panelists expect prices to rise moderately this year, averaging USD 17.4 per troy ounce in Q4 2018. The panel sees silver prices rising further in 2019, to an average of USD 18.3 per troy ounce in Q4.\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003EPalladium prices passed the USD 10,000 per troy ounce mark in mid-February but have since come down; weak automotive demand and increased political uncertainty put downward pressure on the commodity. On 9 March, palladium closed the day at USD 984 per troy ounce, which was up 1.5% from the same day in February and was 6.8% lower on a year-todate basis. Nevertheless, March’s price was up 30.5% from the corresponding day in 2017. U.S. President Donald Trump’s plan to enact tariff s on steel and aluminum led to a broader sell-off of commodities that also swept precious metals such as palladium. Although prices in the short term are likely to be aff ected, strong fundamentals are expected to remain in place this year and next. Developments in the automotive industry are closely tied to the outlook for palladium, and recently put downward pressure on prices. New vehicle sales in the U.S. declined in February year-on-year, and this year growth in new car sales is expected to moderate overall. This should put downward pressure on palladium prices, as palladium is widely used for auto catalysts in gasoline cars. However, as diesel cars are losing popularity, especially in Europe, gasoline car demand stands to benefit. As a result, the outlook for palladium prices remains bright overall. The recent Republican tax cuts in the U.S. should furthermore provide a boost to private consumption in the country, boding well for car sales. Palladium prices are expected to remain fairly stable this year. Analysts polled this month project the price of palladium to average USD 1,056 per troy ounce in Q4 2018 and remain broadly on the same level in 2019. They expect an average of USD 1,041 per troy ounce in Q4 2019.\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003EPlatinum prices continued to fall over the last month in the first week of March. On 9 March, platinum traded at USD 949 per troy ounce, which represented the lowest price since early this year. The print was down 2.1% from the same day of the previous month, but was 2.4% higher on a year-to-date basis. However, the price was up 0.5% from the same day in 2017. Platinum prices remain in a weak spot due to ample global supply, which translated into the first surplus in 2017 in years, and declining demand for the commodity. Supply is rising due to an upturn in refi ned production in South Africa—the leading producer of platinum—which countered lower output from Zimbabwe and North America. Reduced demand from the automotive sector, largely due to decreased usage in Western Europe, is driving down prices. Platinum is mainly used in catalytic converters of diesel-powered cars; however, a wave of bans on diesel cars across European cities to tackle pollution has led to less demand for the vehicles, having a knock-on effect on platinum demand. Platinum prices are expected to climb slightly in 2018 as supply in South African mines shrinks under the strain of chronic under investment. Impala Platinum, the second-largest platinum miner globally, indicated that it would shut four mines over the next two years. While demand is expected to stabilize this year, it could potentially pick up among makers of auto catalysts for petrol cars.

On 9 February, gold closed the trading day at USD 1,313 per troy ounce, which was up 0.1% from the same day of January. The price was up 6.4% from the same day last year and was 0.8% higher on a year-to-date basis. Gold prices have risen in recent months, largely due to a weak U.S. dollar. Putting upward pressure on prices was a large sell-off in the U.S. stock market, which supported safe-haven demand for gold. On 5 February, U.S. stock markets recorded the worst trading day over six years. In addition, strong jewelry demand from India is adding upward pressure, along with a highly uncertain global backdrop. Moreover, recent data revealed that mine production fell in the fi rst nine months of 2017, in part due to output cuts in China amid environmental concerns. Meanwhile, an expected tightening in global interest rates is limiting gold’s gains. Bank of England Deputy Governor Ben Broadbent commented in February that interest rates could be raised sooner than previously expected and at a quicker pace. FocusEconomics analysts see gold prices receding slightly in the coming quarters but regaining ground in 2019. The global geopolitical climate should continue to support demand for gold; however, monetary policy tightening will weigh on the asset’s appeal. FocusEconomics analysts see the price of gold averaging USD 1,284 per troy ounce in the fourth quarter of 2018. In 2019, gold prices are projected to rise steadily throughout the year and average USD 1,334 per troy ounce in Q4. This month, most of our analysts left their projections unchanged. 14 forecasters made no changes to their projections for Q4 2018. However, 9 analysts raised their forecasts, while 2 analysts cut their forecasts. The bulk of our panel sees prices ending the year at a lower level. Some analysts, however, have a more bullish view, and the maximum forecast is for gold to average USD 1,460 per troy ounce in Q4 2018. At the opposite end of the spectrum, the minimum forecast is USD 1,100 per troy ounce.\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/www.focus-economics.com\/reports\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/www.focus-economics.com\/reports\"\u003ESilver Analysis From FocusEconomics:\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003ESilver prices lost ground at the beginning of February following a rise in January, as supply came in above demand. The recent price drop came despite higher investor demand for the precious metal amid a big sell-off in U.S. stock markets. On 9 February, silver closed the trading day at USD 16.3 per troy ounce, which was 4.2% lower than on the same day in January. The price was down 4.5% on a year-to-date basis and was 8.2% lower than on the same day in 2017. A growing supply of the precious metal ha s led to a supply surplus and downward price pressures. These have more than off set upward price pressures stemming from the recent plunge in the U.S. stock market, which recorded the worst trading day in over six years on 5 February, ramping up investor appetite to hold the safe-haven metal. Price gains have also been limited due to expectations of a hike in global interest rates. Leading the course on tightening monetary policy, the U.S. Federal Reserve is expected to raise rates two to three times this year, and the Bank of England also recently signaled sooner and more aggressive rate hikes to come. Prices are expected to gain ground as supply and demand dynamics become more favorable on recovering industrial and investor demand, and more limited supply. However, geopolitical tensions will continue to propel upside risks. FocusEconomics Consensus Forecast panelists expect prices to rise moderately this year, averaging USD 17.3 per troy ounce in Q4 2018. The panel sees silver prices rising further in 2019, to an average of USD 18.5 per troy ounce in Q4. The majority of our panelists held their forecasts for Q4 2018 steady from last month: 10 analysts made no changes to their projections. Meanwhile, 5 panelists raised their projections, and 4 revised down their forecasts. There was a divergence in panelists’ views: The maximum price forecast for Q4 2018 was USD 20.1 per troy ounce, while the minimum projected price was USD 15.3 per troy ounce.\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E"},"link":[{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"https:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/6153012181955522079\/posts\/default\/1105372241697185418"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"https:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/6153012181955522079\/posts\/default\/1105372241697185418"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"https:\/\/www.chaganomics.com\/2018\/02\/analysis-silver-gold.html","title":"Analysis: Silver \u0026amp; Gold"}],"author":[{"name":{"$t":"@Chaganomics"},"uri":{"$t":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/profile\/02403013900919959069"},"email":{"$t":"noreply@blogger.com"},"gd$image":{"rel":"http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail","width":"32","height":"32","src":"\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-j8yjJvQtVX0\/WSxbs0sfr9I\/AAAAAAAALRg\/8Yy5GRlNdK40Y7cnyibI5P4a40-dRvqaQCK4B\/s113\/WLPoints%2BAussie%2BOpen%2B2017.png"}}],"media$thumbnail":{"xmlns$media":"http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/","url":"https:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-0es5pIH3TFk\/WpRjUOlNAtI\/AAAAAAAAMBE\/77huh7W6Q8gBU45ZlvCFfbFsEgFhKvBSwCLcBGAs\/s72-c\/Chaganomics%2BGold%2BChart.png","height":"72","width":"72"}},{"id":{"$t":"tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6153012181955522079.post-4923215375966715382"},"published":{"$t":"2017-01-10T13:44:00.000-05:00"},"updated":{"$t":"2017-06-03T16:51:20.766-04:00"},"category":[{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"gold"}],"title":{"type":"text","$t":"What Gold Is Really Worth (Right Now)"},"content":{"type":"html","$t":"\u003Cdiv dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\" trbidi=\"on\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-xuMemOS1pT4\/WHTzutFu40I\/AAAAAAAAK9s\/4HbA1gYe4VQmXeTs1UWjQ795eJJMmxUHwCEw\/s1600\/Jan%2B10%2B2017%2BF-GC.png\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" height=\"294\" id=\"id_d052_e77f_f0f6_daa6\" src=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-xuMemOS1pT4\/WHTzutFu40I\/AAAAAAAAK9s\/4HbA1gYe4VQmXeTs1UWjQ795eJJMmxUHwCEw\/s640\/Jan%2B10%2B2017%2BF-GC.png\" style=\"height: auto; width: 640px;\" width=\"640\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"\" style=\"clear: both;\"\u003EGold is falling and that is a good thing.

The metal benefitted from the falling oil prices firstly as well as from the fears of a weaker global economy. Gold became more attractive again as a safe haven asset in this environment. The unexpected announcement of the Swiss National Bank to cancel the minimum Euro exchange rate led to a price increase by 2.5 % on Thursday and a weekly gain of 4.5%. Worried investors escaped from volatile investment classes into Gold: Thus, the SPDR Gold Trust which is the biggest Gold ETF had an inflow of 1.4 % on Thursday and of 1.9 % on Friday - this was the biggest daily percentage increase in almost 5 years. There is increased physical demand from Switzerland which is not surprising after the revaluation of the Swiss Franc: Gold dropped in local currency from 1,250 CHF\/oz to approx. 1,050 CHF\/oz temporarily. In Asia in turn buyers are hesitant due to the increased prices. Further information with regard to the Quantitative Easing program by the ECB to support the economy are awaited eagerly. While Gold should benefit by it monetary measures by the ECB will further burden the Euro. Currently Gold is not affected by the strong USD. This morning Gold trades at 1,275 $\/oz and we also see good support for the metal in the coming days.\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E \u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003ESILVER\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EIn the wake of Gold Silver’s character as a substitute currency and safe haven asset was also in the foreground past week. Thus, Silver could achieve a 7.5% gain throughout the week and resisted the overall devaluation seen in industrial commodities such as Palladium, Oil and Copper. The solid physical demand in the US thanks to an economic upswing surely also supported the price. This week, all signs point to a continued rise in price. Of particular interest is especially the ECB meeting on Thursday with a respective press conference afterwards at 2:30 pm and their information on the broadly based government bond purchase program. A respective flood of liquidity as well as ongoing low to negative interest rates could further drive investors into investment metals. Current support lies at 17.00 $\/oz. After the resistance at 17.20 $\/oz was broken on Friday, the next resistance level is at 18.00 $\/oz.\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E \u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EPLATINUM\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003ESince end of December Platinum has been in an upward trend. After the metal opened at 1,227 $\/oz, it closed with a weekly increase by 3 % at 1,264 $\/oz. This morning Platinum is trading at 1,266 $\/oz. Thus, Platinum got into the waves of gold which reacted to the Swiss National Bank’s decision on the annulment of the minimum rate of the Swiss Franc with a price increase. In Platinum we could not observe a particular increase in demand. Furthermore, there is news from the South African mines again. Thus, operations have been suspended at Northam Platinum since Friday due to extensive safety measures which should support the price increase. Platinum has thus broken through its daily cloud resistance and targets a new resistance level at 1,286 $\/oz. On the charts we see support at 1,245 $\/oz and at 1,238 $\/oz. Due to the developments of last week and the price decline in Palladium the Platinum : Palladium ratio shot up as well. An ounce of Platinum currently equals 1.68 oz of Palladium. Looking forward we see Platinum well supported particularly through the European automobile industry which recorded a sales growth by almost 6% in 2014.\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E \u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EPALLADIUM\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EIn the middle of the last week Palladium went through a hefty price decline. Thus, on Wednesday there was an intraday price decline of almost 40 $\/oz. This equals a decline by almost 6% and thus is the biggest daily loss since June 2013. After opening the reporting period at 797 $\/oz Palladium closed the week only at 751 $\/oz. Palladium Futures also suffered the biggest decline since almost 7 months. The main reason for this is the price decline in industrial metals - particularly copper. This in turn has been triggered by the projections by the World Bank on the global economy lowering the growth rates for 2015 as well as 2016. Commodity markets reacted to this adjustment the most. Thereby Europe, Japan, Russia as well as parts of Latin America are in the main focus. Thus, sinking oil prices also play a significant role in this adjustment as oil exporters like Russia are strongly affected by the oil price plunge. Analysts believe that the declining Palladium price in this year is solely attributed to the repositioning of a few market players who would like to balance out their Pd Long positions\/Pt Short positions. The oil price decline gives hope as the sinking oil prices provide further momentum to the growing automobile industry. As mentioned in our H1 2015 precious metals forecast there is a strong correlation between the Palladium price and the developments in the automobile market. Thus, we stay bullish in our expectations for Palladium. On the charts resistance for Palladium is at 778 $\/oz and at 792 $\/oz, support at 755 $\/oz.\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E \u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003ERHODIUM, RUTHENIUM, IRIDIUM\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003ERhodium has unfortunately not developed very positively in the reporting period and has undergone a development opposite to platinum. At the beginning of the week the price difference was “only” at 35 $\/oz which has now shot up to 85 $\/oz. Demand for Rhodium is currently very limited which is on the one hand due to the year just beginning and thus buyers being still a bit hesitant.  On the other hand buyers who currently do not have to urgently cover a need are in a very comfortable situation as the available supply is relatively big and currently there is no risk of fast and strong counter movements. Regardless of the price trading significantly under the 1,200 $\/oz mark again there have not been any large purchases yet. However it shall be noted that this is a price level which we have not seen for 6 months and thus is to be treated with caution.\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003ERuthenium is trading slightly weaker than in the past weeks as there have also been a couple of sellers at the beginning of the year in an already weak market. Sales were relatively high despite of the difficult circumstances and if purchases should remain on this current level then the 50 $\/oz mark is surely a very good support line.\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EIn Iridium there was immediately good demand right at the beginning of this year which slightly pulled up the price. In the reporting period the price increased by 15 $\/oz and compared to our last report from 2014 even by 35 $\/oz which is significant in percentage terms. We continue to see good demand coming from all Iridium applicants and see upside potential for the price in near future.\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003ESonia Hellwig \u003Cbr\u003ESenior Manager Sales und Marketing \u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EHeraeus Metals Germany GmbH \u0026amp; Co.
