Will gold rise with the introduction of digital currency
the trend of bitcoin is forming a "modern gold standard". Many people who are worried about the stability of credit currency or eager to protect their assets before the next financial crisis are keen on this kind of electronic currency
e to the convenient trading, anonymity, value preservation and other characteristics of bitcoin, many investors rush into the bitcoin market and give up the gold market. Therefore, the sharp rise of bitcoin is unfavorable to the gold market
when the expectation of unknown risks is more and more strong, the hedging property of gold will be highlighted.
Bitcoin's popularity means that gold, which is also a safe haven asset, will also usher in a rising opportunity
gold is a traditional wealth inheritance asset, which is easy to carry and store, and has a higher recognition. Although bitcoin has its advantages, people's trust in it is still not high. As a wealth storage tool, bitcoin faces many risks, such as government regulation, bitcoin code problems, and other electronic currency competition, which can lead to its value becoming zero
Before the 1970s, the price of gold was basically decided by governments or central banks, and the international price of gold was relatively stable. In the early 1970s, the gold price was no longer directly linked to the US dollar, the gold price was graally marketized, and the factors affecting the gold price were increasing. Specifically, it can be divided into the following aspects: the gold stock on the earth: there are about 137400 tons of gold in the world, and the stock of gold on the earth is still growing at a rate of about 2% every year
annual supply and demand: the annual supply and demand of gold is about 4200 tons, and the annual new output of gold accounts for 62% of the annual supply
cost of new gold mining: the average total cost of gold mining is slightly less than $260 / oz. Due to the development of mining technology, the cost of gold development has continued to decline in the past 20 years
political, military and economic changes in gold procing countries: no doubt any political and military turbulence in these countries will directly affect the amount of gold proced in the country, and then affect the world gold supply
Central Bank's gold selling: the central bank is the largest holder of gold in the world. In 1969, the official gold reserve was 36458 tons, accounting for 42.6% of the total surface gold stock at that time. In 1998, the official gold reserve was about 34000 tons, accounting for 24.1% of the total gold stock that has been mined. In terms of proction capacity, this is equivalent to 13 years of world gold proction
because the main use of gold has graally changed from an important reserve asset to a metal raw material for jewelry proction, or to improve the country's balance of payments, or to curb the international gold price, the central bank's gold reserves have declined greatly in both absolute and relative quantities in the past 30 years, The decline in the amount of gold mainly depends on the gold market to sell off inventory reserves of gold
for example, the Bank of England's large-scale selling, the Swiss central bank and the International Monetary Fund's preparation to rece gold reserves have become the main reasons for the decline of gold price in the international gold market
this is the recent trend of international spot gold, which can be seen at a glance
