Gold Digger: ‘Assured growth’ – central bank buying spree set to drive gold higher in 2024

  • Central banks will drive the price of gold higher in 2024, believe various analysts
  • Spot gold prices seem stable to strong as we close out the year
  • The week’s top ASX gold-related stocks led by: KCC, EMU, MTC
  • The year’s top ASX goldies led by: SPR, OBM, BEZ

 

Before we delve into another gold article hook for one last week this year, let’s get a bead on the latest gold pricings.

First up, US of Larry Finkin’ A. Spot gold in USD is currently doing just fine at $2,053 per ounce.

In Aussie plastic bucks, it’s also not too far from all-time highs again, changing hands for $3,028.

Sporting roughly 11.6% YTD performance, it’s been a pretty decent year for the prettiest commodity of all.

That said some of you might think this > , and its 163% YTD gain is even prettier. (Is Bitcoin a commodity, though? SEC chair Gary Gensler can’t give a straight answer, but it very likely is. It can’t really be a security. There’s literally no one tangible, no governing body, to pin it to. We digress…)

So, who’s been the biggest buyer of actual, physical gold this year? Yep, you guessed it – it’s the world’s central banks. No surprise there.

And also no real surprise, it’s been led by the most centralised of all central banks – the People’s Bank of China (PBoC). And by a considerable margin.

 

China reaches ‘lucky 13th’ month of buying 

Source: World Gold Council – last updated for 2023 September quarter

 

The PBoC recently disclosed it had bought yet more gold in November, its 13th consecutive month.

Luckily, 13 is not an unlucky number in China. In fact, it’s generally associated with “assured growth”.

Perhaps the bank ought to leave it there, then, because 14 translates to something more like “assured shrinkage”.

There’s every chance it and other major world central banks have remained in full Smaug mode (gathering and hoarding the yellow metal) in December and will likely do so into 2024.

Why’s that, then?

The World Gold Council has some reasons, as do various analysts such as Sprott Asset Management and deVere Group’s Nigel Green and others.

Let’s run through a few of the main factors…

 

Helping the case for gold in 2024

• De-dollarisation – you’ll notice in that chart above that (along with Japan, Switzerland, Thailand, Hong Kong and South Korea) BRICS nations’ central banks are prominent in the top 10 buyers of gold this year.

The move to reduce exposure risk to the US dollar has been a big part of gold’s good year, sending it to all-time highs recently.

A Sprott Asset Management report this month suggested that fears about assets being vulnerable, following the US seizure of Russia’s foreign exchange reserves of US$650 billion in February last year, have spurred central banks to “diversify away from USD and USD-based assets” and to buy more gold.

“In Q3 2023, central banks resumed their torrid gold purchasing pace, buying 337 tonnes of gold to bring the average of the last five quarters to 328 tonnes per quarter.”

• The US Federal Reserve and remaining recession risk – The Fed’s actions play into the thesis above for many a global counterpart central bank.

Jerome Powell and mates raised interest rates 11 times since March 2022, which pushed the US federal funds rate to the highest levels in 22 years. The Fed has now signalled at least three rate cuts next year.

Take this next commentary with a grain of salt, as it comes from a state-owned Chinese propaganda pamphlet, but China Daily notes: “The decline in the credit of dollar assets, as well as the risk of asset impairment caused by the US’ rate cuts, has also caused other central banks to sell dollars and buy gold.” Proposed 2024 rate cuts, that is.

Meanwhile, Robin Tsui, gold strategist for SPDRS ETFs in Asia Pacific at State Street Global Advisors (takes breath) said the following, in conversation with AsianInvestor:

“A shift to a more dovish Fed supports gold’s prospects, while the US dollar’s outlook in 2024 is lukewarm as a scenario of interest rate cuts may spur demand for non-dollar currencies as interest rate spreads narrow globally.”

By the way, Bloomberg’s commodities expert Mike McGlone reckons gold has the upper-hand advantage over its digital rival Bitcoin, in the event of US recession.

• Geopolitcal turmoil – Yep, feeding the classic gold bug safe-haven schtick.

Geopolitics as a general narrative added about 3 to 6% to gold’s performance in 2023, the World Gold Council recently noted.

“Since the Russia-Ukraine war, central banks have been buying at 2.58 times the prior quarterly average of the preceding decade,” said Sprott, which believes global conflicts and de-dollarisation diversification factors have “put a floor under gold prices”.

Obviously ongoing conflict in Gaza and Israel is another contributing factor at play in gold’s age-old flight to safety, store-of-value narrative.

As deVere’s Nigel Green noted in his breakdown of risk factors for global markets in 2024: “Diversification and risk management strategies will be crucial for investors to navigate potential geopolitical shocks emanating from the Middle East.”

• A big election year globally – An addendum to the geopolitical turmoil above, “2024 is marked by decisive elections in over 40 countries, representing more than 50% of the world’s GDP,” noted Green.

“Investors are likely to face increased volatility in the lead-up to and aftermath of elections. Shifts in political landscapes typically result in policy changes that impact various sectors, prompting investors to reassess their portfolios.”

Regarding this, The World Gold Council reckons: “In a year with major elections taking place globally, including the US, EU, India and Taiwan, investors’ need for portfolio hedges will likely be higher than normal.”

WGC strategist Joseph Catavoni also suggested to The Australian recently that:

“There are a lot of elections to be held in 2024 and this creates a very uncertain outlook that could provide uplift to gold markets and other risk assets. Markets are likely to react very differently to a Republican or Democrat outcome in the US.”

 

Re central bank buying, though – a caveat

Per the South China Morning Post, The World Gold Council’s Shaokai Fan noted and caveated:

“On the whole, we expect central banks to continue buying gold in 2024 but the levels may not reach the record amounts of buying that we have witnessed recently.”

And that’s because, while the central bank buying helps to push the price of gold higher, banks are ultimately likely to slow down when prices rise, then wait for a price dip.

And, gotta love a bullish price prediction…

… although, we have seen at least one forecast that’s quite a bit higher not so long ago.

But this one comes from that SCMP article mentioned above:

“Central bank purchases may stumble as gold prices are expected to rise as and when the Federal Reserve starts cutting rates next year. Prices could rise to US$2,400-US$2,500 per ounce by the middle of next year,” said Gnanasekhar Thiagarajan, director of Commtrendz Risk Management in India.

Not bad. We’ll take it.
