GOLD BEARISH REASON:
China:
China's central bank paused its 18-month-long gold-buying spree in May, which had contributed to a record rally in benchmark prices. Official data showed that the top consumer halted gold purchases for its reserves last month when spot gold prices hit a record high.
Dealers in China charged premiums of $27-$32 per ounce over benchmark prices this week, compared to $24-$33 last week. Limited investment options and strong demand for safe havens have driven onshore gold prices higher than offshore counterparts, creating opportunities for arbitrage—buying gold internationally and selling it at a premium in China.
Bernard Sin, regional director for Greater China at MKS PAMP, highlighted this price disparity as a chance for arbitrage.
Other Markets:
In Singapore, gold was sold at $1.20-$2.25 premiums, and in Hong Kong, at $1.50-$2.50 premiums. Brian Lan from Singapore-based dealer GoldSilver Central stated that prices need to either surpass $2,400 or drop below $2,300 to see more buying or selling activity. In Japan, bullion was sold at a $0.25-$0.50 premium.
