Bank of Korea To Buy 1 Ton Of Gold In First Purchase Since 2013
Add South Korea to the list of countries taking tentative steps to hedge their exposure to the US dollar, and fiat in general.
The Bank of Korea will buy approximately one ton of domestically produced gold in December, worth 200 billion won, according to the office of Rep. Chung Tae-ho of the Democratic Party of Korea, a member of the National Assembly's Strategy and Finance Committee, on the 30th.

Even so, she argued that gold remains well supported because the metal is still trading above $4,000 an ounce, suggesting other forces are offsetting those headwinds. Gower pointed to strong physical demand, including central bank buying, active purchases from China and Poland, Chinese gold imports running more than 10 times PBOC reserve additions, and rising gold ETF holdings through September, which she said is unusual during a Fed hiking cycle. She also cited longer-term supports such as concerns about currency debasement, government debt, and fiscal sustainability. (Source: Bloomberg)...

|
|
|
Günstigeres Öl verschafft Gold etwas Luft. Steigende US-Anleiherenditen und mögliche weitere Zinserhöhungen belasten jedoch den Markt.
