Gold Holds Advance as Growth Concern Increases Demand for Haven

Posted by jalatama Rabu, 05 Februari 2014 3 komentar


Gold held gains to extend the first monthly advance since August as concern that global growth may be faltering sent equity markets lower and boosted demand for haven assets.

Bullion for immediate delivery rose as much as 0.2 percent to $1,259.98 an ounce, and traded at $1,257.04 at 8:48 a.m. in Singapore. Gold climbed as much as 1.8 percent to $1,266.41 yesterday, the highest level since Jan. 30, as the MSCI All-Country World Index of equities dropped 1.6 percent.

Data yesterday showed that manufacturing from China to the U.S. and the U.K. slowed as a selloff in emerging-market stocks and currencies deepened. Bullion advanced 3.2 percent last month even as the U.S. Federal Reserve began to withdraw stimulus.

Investors may allocate 2 percent to 10 percent of their portfolio to gold in 2014, from the current level of 1 percent, as they diversify holdings, Juan Carlos Artigas, director of investment research at the World Gold Council, said yesterday.

Gold for April delivery lost 0.2 percent to $1,257.90 on the Comex, after gaining 1.6 percent yesterday, the most since Jan. 23. Assets in the SPDR Gold Trust, the biggest exchange-traded product backed by bullion, were unchanged for a second day yesterday after increasing for two days in the longest run of gains since December 2012.

Silver increased 0.1 percent to $19.3663 an ounce, rising for a third day. Palladium was at $702.93 an ounce from $702.50 yesterday, when prices retreated a 10th day in the longest run of losses since October 2001.

Platinum added 0.2 percent to $1,384.75 an ounce. The world’s largest platinum producers are reviewing a proposal on wages as negotiators seek to resolve a dispute with a South African union that has been on strike since Jan. 23.
