Nirmal Bang Securities - Daily Bullion News and Summary
Gold held steady as US Election Day begins, with a Federal Reserve interest rate decision also due later this week. Bullion was near $2,740 an ounce, just shy of
the all-time high set last week. While prices have been relatively stable so far on Tuesday, previous US elections have seen sharp swings. With polls suggesting a
photo-finish result, the risk of a disputed outcome means that the vote count could drag on for days or even weeks. Meanwhile, the Fed and some of its rich-world
peers are expected to lower borrowing costs later this week. Lower rates are often seen as supportive for gold, which doesn’t pay interest. Gold has surged by more
than 30% so far this year, aided by expectations of Fed rate cuts, central-bank buying and haven demand amid conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine. Uncertainty
around the tight US presidential race has also supported the yellow metal. The latest data showed the US service sector expanded in October at the fastest pace in
over two years, with the Institute for Supply Management’s employment index climbing to the highest since August 2023. Further job gains, paired with low
unemployment and limited layoffs, painted a more resilient labor market picture than offered by last week’s monthly jobs report.

Exchange-traded funds cut 112,039 troy ounces of gold from their holdings in the last trading session, bringing this year's net sales to 1.73 million ounces,
according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The sales were equivalent to $306.6 million at yesterday's spot price. Total gold held by ETFs fell 2 percent this year to
83.9 million ounces. Gold advanced 33 percent this year to $2,736.78 an ounce and remained little changed in the latest session. State Street's SPDR Gold Shares, the
biggest precious-metals ETF, maintained its holdings in the last session. The fund's total of 28.6 million ounces has a market value of $78.2 billion. ETFs also cut 1.26
million troy ounces of silver from their holdings in the last trading session, bringing this year's net purchases to 42.8 million ounces.

Zimbabwe’s gold production rose from 3,701.5 kgs in October 2023, Fidelity Gold Refinery said on Tuesday. Output by large scale miners was 1,024.6 kgs down
from 1,058.7 kgs the same month a year earlier. Deliveries by small scale miners rose 3,143.2 kgs compared to 2642.8 kgs produced prior year. Peter Magaramombe,
general manager for Fidelity Gold Refinery told Bloomberg that if current levels of production are maintained in Nov. and Dec, the country will be able to achieve its
annual target of 35 tons. NOTE: October’s production is the highest so far this year. NOTE: Zimbabwe Misses 2023 Gold-Output Target as 30.1 Tons Produced. NOTE:
In January through Oct. this year, the country has produced 28,261.79 kgs, up from 26,167.46 kgs a year earlier.

Diverging fortunes for gold prices and Brent futures signals that markets weight the implications of US elections and the pace of Fed interest-rate cuts more
heavily than an escalation of tensions in the Middle East. Looking at just the fall in Brent futures and the rise in equities in recent months would suggest the world
has been spared major geopolitical risks of late. However, the rally in gold prices reflects the high degree of uncertainty rattling investors: a coin-toss outcome in the
US election and contradictory economic data that make the pace of Fed rate cuts hard to predict. Gold typically serves as a safe haven against uncertain events that
could change the direction of markets, such as geopolitical risk. Historically, conflicts involving major oil producers have also caused crude to rally along with gold on
concern about supply disruptions. Since Iran blamed Israel for an air strike at Iran’s consulate in Syria in April, oil prices have fallen, while gold has risen, as shown by
the chart below. Brent futures near $75 don’t indicate much of a geopolitical risk premium and prices this year are more reflective of weak supply and demand
fundamentals. More delays in production expansion plans by OPEC+, or any other non-war related supply constraints could put oil back at the forefront. A recent
one-month delay of OPEC+ supply expansion already pushed Brent futures up by more than 4% since Friday.

Gold on average does better when a new president wins the election, but only after they are sworn in. When the incumbent wins, the precious metal struggles for
many months after the vote. Gold has rallied strongly in recent months. Demand has mainly been driven by central banks, both EM and DM, upping their ownership
of gold. The World Gold Council estimates that global central banks added 1,037 tonnes in 2023, their second highest annual purchase in history. They now hold over
36,000 tonnes of gold, close to the peak seen just after Nixon closed the Gold Window in 1972. Geopolitical uncertainty is fueling demand as countries seek a hedge
from the dollar system. But the political unknown of a new president is typically also beneficial for gold. Going back to elections from 1972, i.e. after the dollar’s
convertibility to gold was ended, the metal on average sells off after the vote. However, after the inauguration of a new president it rallies over the next six months.
When the incumbent wins, however, the selloff continues after the ceremony in mid-January. With gold overbought, it could face some turbulence in the shorter
term. The historical pattern of it selling off post-election (no matter whether a new president or the incumbent wins), and rebounding thereafter, thus seems a good
indicator this election too.

Fundamental Outlook: Gold and silver prices are trading marginally lower today on the international bourses. We expect gold and silver prices to trade range-bound
to slightly lower for the day; as gold prices are steady as the market braced for a tight US election, and a Federal Reserve rate decision later in the week.
