Gold is an interest business
(PresseBox) - For Bank of America, the price of gold is dependent on interest rates and the US dollar.
A troy ounce of gold is now worth around 2,018 US dollars. New gold buyers are still needed, and they will show up at the latest when the Fed announces the end of the interest rate hike cycle. If this happens before mid-2024, the price of gold can be expected to rise sooner. Not only has gold performed well, the price of palladium has also risen. An ounce of palladium can now be bought for just under USD 1,200. The price development of the last few weeks can be described as a trend reversal. Palladium is mainly used for the production of catalytic converters. Overall, the metal is still in the red, as car manufacturers often use the cheaper platinum instead of palladium.
Palladium already became more expensive in March when the UK imposed sanctions on the import of Russian platinum and palladium. The UK is now banning its subjects from buying certain metals. This led to the price increase. Russia is an important supplier of many metals. The LME has spoken out against suspending Russian metals because it would hit buyers hard. Nevertheless, there are countries that have responded to Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine with sanctions.
Russia itself relies on gold reserves. In November, Russian reserves rose to almost 600 billion US dollars. A good 151 billion of this is in gold, the rest is in foreign currency. In the current year alone, Russia's reserves have risen by around ten billion US dollars. Whether gold, platinum or palladium, there are excellent companies to invest in.
