The exuberance of gold investors is insufficient to boost the premium to its fair value
âAn alleviation of semiconductor shortages triggering auto plant shutdowns would be helpful for both palladium and platinum, but even more so for palladium. Platinum’s reliance on investment and demand for jewelry is less useful as these categories as a whole may be relatively unchanged from year to year – a slowdown in ETF accumulation and a recovery demand for jewelry in China is offset.
âThe positive momentum in US fixed income for gold begins with stronger inflation impressions, an uninterrupted trend of higher inflation expectations and a large US employment gap. The result was a hesitant T-bill selloff and a resumption of falling real interest rates, a repeat of one of the main positive drivers for gold in 2020 (and January 2021). While gold enjoys short-term support in this way, we believe it has limited room for maneuver. “

“We prefer a long palladium-platinum basket to gold.”
