Gold is in favor: demand will remain at its peak

Most experts agree that the demand for the yellow metal will be high over the next few years. In many respects, factors such as the protracted trade confrontation between China and the United States, a slowdown in global economic growth, general geopolitical instability and unrest in financial markets contributed to this.

According to the analytic company Australia & New Zealand Banking Group (ANZ), the world's leading central banks intend to continue the global purchase of gold. Among such countries, Russia, Turkey, Kazakhstan and China are leading. The volume of purchases of precious metals by these states will exceed 650 tons of gold per year based on the preliminary estimates. According to ANZ, global regulators account for about 10% of global precious metal consumption. Representatives of the World Gold Council emphasize that in the first six months of this year, leading central banks increased their gold reserves by 374.1 tons. ANZ experts are confident that this trend will continue.

Not only individual countries, but also most professional investors are actively increasing the share of precious metals in their portfolios. First of all, gold belongs to them. According to experts, the yellow metal accounts for about 40% of investment demand. Against the background of its increase, the cost of precious metals in August reached six-year highs.

For several weeks, the growth of "gold" prices was recorded. On Monday, August 26, the price of the yellow metal reached its highest level at $1,551 per 1 troy ounce since April 2013. On Tuesday, the precious metal lost ground, having fallen in price to $1538 per 1 ounce. Gold is currently trading at around $1,530 per ounce.

The government of several countries is increasing the share of gold in its reserves due to the high risks of a slowdown in economic growth amid escalation of trade and geopolitical tensions. According to ANZ, some states, acquiring yellow metal, seek to reduce the share of the dollar in their reserves.
