Global central banks sell gold for the first time in a year and a half

 

 07 October 2020 04:10 PM

Mubasher : Global central banks turned to net sellers of gold last August for the first time in about a year and a half.

According to the monthly report issued by the World Gold Council, today, Tuesday, global central banks sold almost 12.3 tons of gold last August, more than they bought, bringing their total holdings of the yellow metal to about 35,000 tons.

(Central banks sell gold during August)

Uzbekistan led the downward trend, reducing its gold reserves by 32 tons, bringing its holdings of the metal to just under 300 tons (54 percent of total reserves). 

Whereas, the Kyrgyz Republic was the largest buyer, increasing its gold holdings by 5 tons, followed by India by 4 tons.

Turkey is still the country that has bought the most gold around the world since the beginning of this year, about 194 tons, bringing the mineral reserves to 607 tons, although the central bank bought 3.9 tons only in August.

Gold prices rose to a record high of $ 2,072.50 in early August, and then fell now to about $ 1900.

The global decline in "gold" prices

Editing date: 10/7/2020 16:20 • 58 times read

[Follow_Wine]
Gold fell in Asian trading today, Wednesday, after US President Donald Trump surprised everyone by canceling the stimulus talks, which provided a strong boost to the dollar and affected the price of the precious metal.

At 11:44 PM ET (3:44 AM GMT), gold futures fell by a massive 1.17% to trade at $ 1,886.45 an ounce, and to remain close to their one-week low recorded overnight. On the contrary, the dollar advanced during the Asian session, benefiting from the suspension of stimulus negotiations, which means pumping huge sums of dollars into the local economy and increasing the money supply, which negatively affects the price of the US currency.
In a tweet Tuesday night, President Trump announced the end of talks on the stimulus package with Democrats, dashed hopes that the package would be approved by Congress before the presidential elections scheduled for November 3, and instructed his representatives to halt negotiations until after the election. This frustrated hopes of providing a boost to the economy in which individuals and companies, including airlines, are suffering from the impact of the ongoing Corona epidemic.
Trump accused Pelosi of "not negotiating in good faith" and said that the package she proposed "is in no way related to the Corona epidemic."
On the fight against the epidemic, new restrictions were imposed after six US states announced records for the number of daily infections. Globally, the number of injuries has reached 35.6 million, according to data from Johns Hopkins University.
On the data front, the US Trade Balance figures showed a deficit of $ 67.10 billion in August, the largest deficit in 14 years. Analysts had expected data to show a deficit of $ 66.10 billion expected, up from July's figure of 63.40 billion. The data also showed that imports rose to $ 239 billion, which makes the trade balance a potential obstacle to US economic growth during the third quarter.
Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell sounded the alarm just an hour before President Trump's tweet, in his speech to the National Association for Business Economics (NABE) conference. Powell warned that the US economy could slide into a downward spiral if the Corona epidemic is not effectively controlled, and called for more government aid and stimulus money. Also among the other important figures speaking at the conference was European Central Bank chief economist Philippe Lane.
On top of today's Fed events, markets will be looking forward to the release of the minutes of the last meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) at the bank, scheduled as usual at 2:00 PM ET (6:00 PM GMT). As for the ECB meeting minutes, it will be released tomorrow, Thursday, at 7:30 AM ET (11:30 AM GMT).
Also from the gold news, the holdings of the giant investment fund SPDR Gold Trust decreased by 0.32%, to 1,271.52 tons on Tuesday, while the data showed that India's gold imports in September fell by 59% compared to the same month of the previous year, falling to The lowest level in 4 months

World Gold Council: Central banks sold more gold in August than they bought

2020-10-07

Yes Iraq - Baghdad

The World Gold Council said on Wednesday that central banks in August sold more gold than they bought, ending a year and a half of monthly increases in gold purchases, which contributed to halting the rapid rise in the price of the yellow metal.

Gold rose from just above $ 1,500 at the start of 2019 to a record high of $ 2,072.50 in early August and then down to around $ 1,900.

Investors in Europe and North America pushed prices up and raised gold in hopes that it would retain its value during the Corona crisis.

But demand from major consumers such as jewelers and central banks has been weak, sparking concerns about a continuing rally.

The Gold Council said that central banks, which collectively hold 35,000 tons of gold worth about $ 2 trillion, sold 12.3 tons more than they bought in August.

Central banks bought 656 tons of gold in 2018, the highest number in half a century. Last year, purchases amounted to 650 tons.

Listen to what the Billionaires of the world are buying.  Hint, Gold Silver, BTC and Crypto Currencies.  

 

 

[Pitcher]

There will be a time in the coming weeks/months that will probably be similar to what we saw in March.  It might even be more violent if what I’m reading comes true.  Every investor will have to decide if he should hold or sell and buy back at a lower price.  

 

I am 100% out of the Stock Market at this time.  I’ve been out for almost a year except for my Day Trading.  I’m not giving you Financial advice but it is time to be aware of what is going on.  Do your own research and DD.  I own BTC, XRP, and ETH.  I will not be selling these if there is another dip if the Stock Market sells off.  My positions are correct for my situation.  Now is the time to prepare and be ready for any scenario.  I truly believe the next few months will be exciting, and scary as this election comes to a conclusion.  

 

[MyLadiesDaddy]

According to the US Mint starting on this Tuesday the one ounce uncirculated American Silver Eagle will go from $30 to $68 an ounce. 
The ramifications of this will naturally impact the entire precious metals market is a 
HUGE way.

Tip of the Iceberg Scotty. Going so much higher imo.

 

 I bought 6 Silver Dollars at an Antique store today for an average price of 24 bucks.  These are 100 year old Uncirculated or very fine Morgan Silver Dollars!!!   I’m beginning to like going with my wife to these type of stores more now.  I think those coins are worth 2-3-4 times what I paid for them. I think they were priced from 3-4 years ago.

All of my silver is in rounds and bars. But we both know that this is just the very beginning of a HUGE tidal wave. As the Mint raises the price of something as common as a Silver Eagle that will cause an effect on all silver. I'm fully expecting this action to bring in $100 an ounce by the end of the year.

Very possible and depending on what happens it could be a lot more.  I think it depends on the Fed and our banks.  They appear to want to sting this QE garbage along for awhile longer.  It may be as simple as who wins the election as to what happens with this entire mess.
