Whale sells substantial quantities of gold and silver as prices rebound. In the same direction, the world’s largest silver ETF sold nearly 20 tons of silver on April 13. According to Muavangbac.vn, SPDR Gold Trust, the world’s largest gold ETF, sold more than 5.2 tons of gold on April 13, bringing total gold holdings to just over 1,047 tons. Thus, this fund has been net sellers in 3 of the last 5 sessions, while there were 2 non-trading sessions. In the same trading session, iShares Silver Trust (SLV) sold nearly 20 tons of silver on the same day, extending a three-session selling streak. Currently, SLV holds about 15,270 tons of silver. The gold and silver funds turned to net selling as precious metals recovered from their lows. After about two weeks, spot gold on the Kitco exchange rose more than 9% to over $4,770/oz (as of the morning of 14/4) and was about 12% below the late January peak. Similarly, silver on the COMEX (US) was trading around $76/oz, the highest in about a month. Geopolitical tensions between the US and Iran remain the biggest variable affecting gold price trends. The conflict not only pushed crude oil prices higher, increasing global inflationary pressure, but also heightened the possibility that central banks would maintain high interest rates for longer. In this context, gold faces significant near-term pressure because it is a non-yielding asset priced in USD. In other words, the negative factors above are partly offsetting the roles that typically support gold prices, such as a safe-haven asset against geopolitical risk, economic instability, or inflation risk. Therefore, if tensions in the Gulf ease, the downward price pressure on gold could ease somewhat. Conversely, if the conflict escalates, this precious metal is likely to face further headwinds. Although gold is facing some near-term headwinds, many forecasts still see the possibility that gold could surpass $5,000/ounce by year-end. For example, commodity analysts at State Street Investment Management, led by Aakash Doshi, remain bullish on gold and still see about a 50% probability that gold trades in the range of $4,750 to $5,500 for the rest of the year.
