Ever since the world financial system embodied a US dollar standard, a medium of exchange whereby merely one nation has the benefit of borrowing and repaying debt in its own currency, the central banks and bullion banks (basically large international banks) have been trying to suppress the price of gold downwards in an attempt to influence the ‘durability’ of the US dollar monetary system the world has functioned under since 1971.
Substantial demand and weak supply should be producing much higher prices. One reason as to why this isn’t occurring relates to the short term affect of hedge funds trading gold to satisfy investor redemptions. However, this is not the major reason, as hedge funds are more likely to deal in gold futures rather than physical gold. Even though the monetary value of gold in US dollars has been under pressure, the principle gold producers have little inducement to step-up production at the present price levels. Even in Australian dollars, the price of gold isn’t high enough to promote increased output.
