Central banks buy 90 tons of gold in two months

Central banks buy 90 tons of gold in two months

 09 April 2019 03:38 PM
From: Sally Ismail

Mubasher: Central banks' appetite for strong gold reserves remains strong this year as the White Bear continues to make the most buying list.

According to World Gold Council data this week, central banks, especially in emerging markets, bought the yellow metal in February at the highest pace since October 2018.

Most purchased

Net purchases of gold by central banks in February reached 51 tons, with net purchases for the year so far reaching 90 tons.

Nine central banks were able to achieve a significant increase in the size of their reserves of gold in February compared to 10 banks in January.

The Council of Gold explained that Russia, China, Qatar and Kazakhstan were the highest purchase of the yellow metal in February.

Most countries buy gold in February - (Source: World Gold Council)

Russia bought 31.2 tonnes of gold in February after boosting its reserves by 6.2 tonnes in January.

After Moscow, China is buying 10 tons of gold in addition to its reserves by the end of February, down from the 11.8 tonnes recorded in January.

Kazakhstan increased its purchases of gold by about 3 tons in February after buying 2.8 tons in the previous month.

Qatar, the Arab world's biggest buyer of precious metals by the end of February, bought 3.1 tonnes after buying 6.3 tonnes in January.

Most possession

Despite strong changes in gold purchases by countries, the top 10 list of gold reserves as one of its global reserves remains unchanged.

Central banks have about 33,871 tons of gold through their reserves, according to the World Gold Council report until April 2019.

The United States holds the top of the list, with the largest reserves of gold with 8.133 thousand tons, accounting for 74.9% of its total reserves.

Germany is also the second largest holder of 3.369 tons of gold, accounting for 70.6% of its global reserves.

The rest of the list also did not see any changes with the IMF remaining in third place, although it is the only one in the ranking of the most dominant countries and means the exclusion of India's accession.

In terms of the fourth and fifth places, Italy and France had a combined holdings of 2.451 tons and 2.436 thousand tons, respectively, or 66.9% and 61.1% of the total reserves of each country respectively.

Russia (2.150 tons), China (1,874,000 tons), Switzerland (1.040 tons), Japan (765.2 tons) and the Netherlands (612.5 tons) occupy the sixth to tenth places respectively.

An unprecedented attack by central banks on the purchase and storage of gold

Editorial date:: 2019/5/2 13:21  167 times read
An unprecedented attack by central banks on the purchase and storage of gold
{International: Euphrates News} Global central banks continue to carry out the largest historic attack on the purchase of gold. This has been going on since 2010. The most prominent reasons are the global financial crisis that erupted in 2008 and the geopolitical uncertainties sweeping the world, along with the desire to ease the dollar peg, according to follow-up experts.
Statistics show that about 34,000 tonnes of yellow metal is currently in the coffers of global central banks, or 17 percent of the total gold produced in history. At the current market price of an ounce, that "sleeper" wealth is worth $ 1.4 trillion, equivalent to Australian or Spanish output, for example.
After a 20-year sell-off, central banks have been buying heavily since 2010, with purchases in 2018 reaching almost half a century ago. Demand is steady and strong, according to market experts, but the question arises: Why is this demand for the yellow metal at a time when digital and virtual currencies topped their heads? In other words, how can one explain a classical behavior practiced by our forefathers since ancient times in parallel with the millennium generation, which only knows the digital world? What is the need for central banks to gold? Or to these huge amounts of it?
"At the end of the 20th century, the appetite of these banks was open to the sale of the ounces," says an expert in the field. In Belgium, the Netherlands, Argentina, Australia, Canada, Britain, Germany, Switzerland ... and even the International Monetary Fund sold March. This has contributed to the elimination (or liquefaction) of gold price fluctuations in that period, together with the entry of a strong new international currency, the Euro. Some countries have sold gold because their budget deficits have increased and they wanted to invest in assets that generate returns instead of the precious metal that does not generate any returns. " The gold was then glistening, prompting the writers of economists in that period to describe as «useless and useless», especially as it no longer enters the equation of monetary policies and currency coverage.
The situation continued until the financial crisis broke out. In the beginning, Western central banks stopped selling, and then buying started by the emerging countries, which have increased their presence strongly in international trade flows - led by China, which showed an appetite for demand and accumulation, and in the interest of the producing countries, of course. 
The 2008 crisis also showed that liquidity was a high risk for all investors as well as for central banks. At that time, the global financial system was relatively free of free access to the dollar; gold turned into a safe haven. 
Central banks in emerging countries are trying to diversify their reserves away from a "single dollar" to ease the link in the US currency "as much as possible", including geopolitical considerations, structural change in international trade and long-term outlook for the dollar.
Gold buyers have now expanded to include Turkey, Argentina, India, Indonesia, the Philippines and Thailand, whose central banks seek to diversify their reserves. In addition, China, which currently has about $ 79 billion in coffers, is buying up as a tool to increase confidence in the yuan. 
But the most striking and prominent is in Russia. In 2018, Moscow bought 274 tons of gold, an unprecedented amount, and in parallel with Russia's liquidation of its US treasury bonds. With this additional accumulation, Russia is approaching stockpiles that the Soviet Union had before its collapse in 1990. If purchases continue until the end of the year, Russia will reach the level of France, which has the world's fourth-largest gold stockpile.
So Russia and China are now entering the club of countries with a thousand tons and more, along with the United States, which alone accounts for a quarter of the world's gold reserves, Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland. But the gold stocks in Russia and China remain below the dollar's inventory, unlike other countries in comparison
