WGC experts conveyed their gold price predictions
In a report released Friday, WGC said 6.4 metric tons of gold flowed from global ETFs last month. According to the report, December closed a year in which a total of 173 tonnes of gold were liquidated from ETFs worldwide. North America led last month’s exits as funds liquidated 22 tonnes of gold last month. In the report, it was stated that European-based and Asian-based funds saw a total of 16 tons of inflows. Outflows in North America are thought to have been triggered by Fed decisions.
Many analysts noted that the nearly 4% drop in gold in 2021 was due to sluggish investment demand as the sector saw consistent outflows throughout the year. “Despite significant outflows for the year, gold ETF holdings remain significantly above pre-pandemic levels as they recorded record inflows of around 875 tonnes throughout 2020,” analysts said. In 2022, the WGC presents a mixed outlook for the market as historically low real interest rates weigh against the Fed’s tightening monetary policy due to increasing inflation pressures. Adam Perlaky, senior analyst at WGC, used the following statements:
As the Fed’s latest statement, which could hinder gold performance, shows, we remain vigilant against evolving monetary policies and a faster rise in interest rates. Historically, however, rates remain low and while the portfolio structure continues to change to accommodate volatility, gold will continue to support demand given its role as a high-quality liquid asset.
