Central banks as support for the gold price

Central banks now like to buy gold, this supports the gold price. From the late 1960s until about 2009, central banks were net sellers of gold. When they did buy, it was usually in small quantities. But times have changed. First there was the global financial crisis, then came quantitative easing by the Fed. That’s when central banks came back to the fact that gold is the means of diversification.

Next came the Russia-Ukraine war. In 2022, central banks bought a record amount of gold, and this year could be estimated to be the second largest amount of gold bought since the 1960s. Many industry experts believe that this trend will continue and that it will be a multi-year trend. By the way, gold also provides a diversification benefit in the portfolio of private investors, history also shows this.

Even if a stronger U.S. dollar or higher U.S. yields cause headwinds for the gold price in the short term, in the longer-term gold investments are under a good star. And then the easing of Fed policy is imminent, although it is still uncertain when this will be. It may be as early as this month that the end of the rate hike cycle will be announced. Geopolitical uncertainties and the de-dollarization sought by many countries should ensure high gold prices in the longer term. Those who choose physical gold or investments in gold companies should be on the right track. Among gold companies, Osisko Development and U.S. GoldMining are recommended.
