Gold update, up 1.6%

ByVictoria

Gold prices rebounded on Thursday as investors bought bullion following a sharp decline in the previous session, while the focus remains on U.S.-China trade tensions.

Spot gold was up 1.6% at $3,338.79 an ounce, as of 1140 GMT. Bullion fell as much as 3% on Wednesday in its worst daily performance since late November.

“Gold’s pullback earlier has cleared some of the froth from its latest surge. That, in turn, attracted some buy-the-dip action amid still-persistent global trade war fears,” said Han Tan, chief market analyst at Exinity Group.

“Given the still-evident tailwinds for this precious metal, gold bugs could ultimately conquer the $3,500 level with conviction.”

Spot silver fell 0.3% to $33.44 an ounce, platinum was steady at $972.15 and palladium was down 0.2% at $942.28.

    The Silver price (XAG/USD) attracts some sellers to around $39.00 during the early European session on Friday. Optimism surrounding the US trade deal allayed trade war concerns and dampened demand for safe-haven assets.

    The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported on Friday that US President Donald Trump is now pursuing dealmaking with China. Trump might shift from a strategy of pressure to negotiation, with the goal of securing an economic agreement that will increase US access to Chinese markets, particularly in business and technology.

    Gold lost .2%, Silver up, Platinum fell

    Gold eased on Monday due to slightly firmer U.S. Treasury yields and profit-taking following last week’s sharp rally driven by weak U.S. jobs data.

    Spot gold lost 0.2% to $3,356.91 per ounce, as of 1051 GMT, after rising more than 2% on Friday.

    “The market will remain range bound with today’s pullback being in line with some the reversals seen across markets following Friday’s big moves, especially yields which are a tad firmer and stocks which have seen a rebound,” Saxo Bank’s head of commodity strategy, Ole Hansen, said.

    Spot silver rose 0.3% to $37.14 per ounce, platinum fell 0.3% to $1,311.38 and palladium was down 0.8% at $1,199.08.

    Stealth Fed Dollar Crisis Predicted To Spark A Bitcoin Price Boom To Rival Gold

    “Current inflation measures, such as consumer price index (CPI) and producer price index (PPI), are significantly lower than previous 40-year highs. However, they remain ‘stubborn’ or ‘sticky,’ resisting a return to the central bank’s preferred 2% target,” Fidelity Digital Assets research director Chris Kuiper wrote in a report that asked: “Why is no one talking about stagflation?”—defined as a combination of low economic growth and persistently high inflation.

    Meet the Ultrathin Conductor Set to Replace Copper in Advanced Electronics

    “We are breaking a fundamental bottleneck of traditional materials like copper,” said Asir Intisar Khan, who received his doctorate from Stanford and is now a visiting postdoctoral scholar and first author on the paper. “Our niobium phosphide conductors show that it’s possible to send faster, more efficient signals through ultrathin wires. This could improve the energy efficiency of future chips, and even small gains add up when many chips are used, such as in the massive data centers that store and process information today.”

    Opinion piece, Gold impacted by panic buying

    ByVictoria
    0 Comments

    Some finance experts in Simpsonville said they’ve seen a surge in people investing in gold. They said it follows fears over the economy slowing. 

    Co-owner of JEHM Wealth and Retirement Eric Lahaie told 7NEWS the value of gold has increased by more than 30 percent in the last six months. He emphasized that it is largely because of panic buying.

    “The appreciation is all that you’re going to get out of it. It doesn’t produce a dividend. It doesn’t generate interest like a stock, or a bond will do. So, you don’t get that advantage. And then, as I said earlier, it kind of moves in big jumps, and then flattens out for a long time,” said Lahaie. 

    “If you buy it in a brokerage account, when you sell gold, your gains are taxed at your ordinary income up to 28 percent,” Lahaie also said. “Versus, if you sell stock, as long-term capital gain, you’re going to be taxed somewhere between 15 and 20 percent on the high end. So, that’s kind of a disadvantage for gold.”
