Central banks hoard gold like never before

Central banks added a total of 125 tons of gold to their gold reserves. This is the strongest start to the year since the low in 2010, with Singapore particularly eager with 51.4 tons of gold, Turkey with 45.5 tons, China and Russia. Only a few countries reduced their gold reserves, including Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Croatia and the United Arab Emirates. Gold is an important tool to support currencies and drive the shift away from the U.S. dollar. The Chinese yuan is gaining in importance and there are increasing indications that the BRICS countries are developing their own means of payment.

Things are also happening in gold-backed ETFs. In March, net inflows turned positive after ten months of outflows. Just under one million ounces of gold flowed into these ETFs in March, about the most since March 2022. And pricewise, it’s heading for record highs. The 2,075-record high is not far away. This is not surprising, as consistent inflation and a weakening economy are making gold increasingly attractive. That the U.S. economy is not in the best of health is currently shown by the lower ISM Purchasing Managers Index for the manufacturing sector. US manufacturing activity has fallen to its third lowest level in 15 years. In order to weather a possible recession well, it is therefore advisable – not only for central banks – to invest in gold, for example in companies such as Calibre Mining or Chesapeake Gold.

Calibre Mining – https://www.commodity-tv.com/play/calibre-mining-sitevisit-2023-in-nicaragua-at-the-limon-gold-mine/ – is producing successfully, with projects located in North and South America. The first quarter of 2023 saw record production of more than 65,000 ounces of gold, up 27 percent from the same period last year.

Chesapeake Gold – https://www.commodity-tv.com/ondemand/companies/profil/chesapeake-gold-corp/ – owns the Metates gold property, the main project, in Mexico. It contains one of the largest undeveloped gold-silver deposits in the USA.
