Gold price volatility at high levels may temporarily hinder central bank gold purchases
Show original
Last month, the price of gold once broke through a historic high of $5,500 per ounce. While investment market demand was an important driver, the largest buyers were actually central banks of various countries. However, the recent sharp fluctuations in gold prices may temporarily slow down this demand. Goldman Sachs commodity analysts Lina Thomas and Daan Struyven pointed out in a report last week that, after discussions with market participants, they found that managers of central bank reserves are still interested in buying gold to hedge against geopolitical and financial risks, but are more inclined to postpone purchases until prices stabilize. Goldman Sachs believes that the current increase in market volatility is mainly driven by diversified demand from the private sector, most of which is reflected through gold option structures that amplify price swings. This volatility has made some emerging market central banks more hesitant to actively buy at current prices, even though they remain optimistic about the gold market in the long term.
