After

view
on
gold
prices
for
over
two
and
a
half years, we believe bullion will likely see one last hurrah before prices turn lower into year-end. Light positioning and surging momentum in the near term can continue to carry gold higher over the next month or so to a level around $2,000/oz but the move will not be supported by fundamentals. Therefore, we think the current price is close to a peak and turn neutral on gold. Based
on
our
valuation
framework,
for
gold
to
breach
$2,000/oz
on
a sustained basis, the 10-year US real yield needs to reset another 75bp lower to
-165bp,
a
scenario
that
looks
unlikely
given
our
macroeconomic forecasts. Instead, the 10-year US real yield is likely to drift higher from its current level of -93bp to -75bp by mid-21. With real yields rising, we see gold coming off a near-term peak to average $1,880/oz in 4Q20. The

Gold & Silver: Exiting the 30-month bullish call
While gold could well see one last hurrah in the coming months, the current price is close to a peak. We, thus, turn neutral after a 2½-year bullish bias that was based on falling US real interest rates. Current momentum could push gold higher but the move will not be supported by fundamentals. Based on our valuation framework, for gold to breach $2,000/oz on a sustained basis, the 10-year US real yield needs to reset another 75bp lower
to -165bp. While this is not improbable, it looks unlikely given our current US macroeconomic forecast and policies. Instead, the 10-year US real yield is likely to driftOverall, we felt that being long gold over 2019 and into 2020 offered unique hedging opportunities in a business cycle that became the longest on record last March (Despite the rally, gold still offers a cheap late-cycle hedge, 7 June 2019). We had forecasted gold to peak at $1850/oz by mid-2020 (average $1,780/oz in 2Q20). We also concluded that despite a ~20% rally in gold prices in 2019, we were in the midst of gold"s typical end-cycle rise rather than at the start of new long-term rally similar to that in the 2000s.

-8% After maintaining a bullish view on gold prices for over two and a half years 1 , we believe bullion will likely see one last hurrah before prices turn lower into year- end. Our view was based on the history of precious metals performing the best in the late cycle, as the closing economic output gap near the end of an expansion boosts inflation expectations, followed by early periods of recession when investment rotates from production inputs (cyclical assets) to stores of value (gold, bonds). The weakest performance is when the economy exits the recession.
Over the last five US expansions, the median increase in gold prices in the last quintile of the expansion is 24%, when the price rise is the strongest.
Given its safe haven appeal, gold has historically received a further 8% boost to prices as the cycle comes to an end (Exhibits 1 & 2).

Real yields pushed gold to $1,900/oz, what will move it higher? Since a bottom at $1,176/oz on August 17, 2018, the prompt COMEX gold price is up over 60% to above $1,950/oz. Real 10-year US yields moved from a seven-
Average (1975-2001) Expansion Recession Current Cycle
year high of 116bp on November 8, 2018 to an eight- year low of -93bp at the moment of writing. In line with the estimated historical relationship of a 25bp decline in real yield driving up gold price by $80/oz, this 206bp decline in the real yield alone was sufficient to push
price to $1,835/oz, all things equal. Half of this surge took place in 2020, on the back of the Fed’s lightning- bolt reaction in lowering rates back to the effective lower bound (ELB) and the introduction of an uncapped purchase program in Treasuries and MBS that was done within the span of weeks, compared to months during 2007-2008.
Similar to gold’s epic bull-run in 2008-2011, the price rise was driven by gold ETFs (Exhibit 3). Gold ETFs recorded their seventh consecutive month of positive flows in June, taking global holdings to new all-time highs of 3,621 tons. This brings 1H20 net inflows to 734 tons, significantly above the highest level of annual inflow of 646 tons in 2009 and enough to absorb about 45% of global gold production in 1H20, according to a reconsideration of the future of the dollar as a global reserve currency (Exhibit 5). The most significant purchases in the first five months of the year were from banks who have been consistent recent buyers: Russia, Turkey, Poland, China, India and Kazakhstan. Russia added 21 mn oz to its total reserves, accounting for 28% of the total global purchases. But Russia"s 14-year-long buying spree might be coming to an end. The Central Bank of Russia, world"s largest gold buyer since the end of 2005, announced in March that it would suspend its gold buying program starting from April 1. While no reasons for the move were announced, the country has been drawing down FX reserves since March in the face of lower oil prices and the economic impact of COVID- 19. Russia accounted for 30% of global gold net purchases in 2019 and going forward, we would expect the absence of regular Russian buying to have a significant impact on the level of global net purchases.

However, absent from this rally were the hyper-price- sensitive EM investors, especially from China and India (Exhibit 4). While it is true that the COVID-19 pandemic slashed jewelry demand—the largest stable component of gold demand—to a record low across the globe, an impact that was further exacerbated by the effect of high and steeply rising gold prices, EM gold consumer demand has been declining since 4Q18. This helps to corroborate our view that we are not at the start of a new Golden era but rather that gold is riding (and close t...
