Here’s How Biden’s Avalanche of Executive Orders Might Crush Gold
A new sheriff is in in town, and he’s making some rearrangements. Will the new order of things support the price of gold? What a blitzkrieg! Joe Biden certainly wastes no time in signing executive orders. Since inauguration, he introduced several policies, including mandating masks on federal property, in airports and on certain public transportation, and the end of a travel bank on some countries. Biden also terminated the construction of the wall at the Mexican border, halted the withdrawal from the WHO and placed the U.S. back on the path to rejoining the Paris climate accord. We’re seeing a reversal of many of Trump’s policies. The new President’s actions shouldn’t materially affect the gold market , but if they manage to restore widespread confidence in the U.S. government, they could limit the safe-haven demand for gold.

As World Burns in Turmoil, Precious Metals Will Keep Soaring
GOLD is a disaster metal. In other words, its price improves when notions of the good life are threatened. This seems a time-honored fact of gold’s reputation as “a store of wealth” – a well-known characteristic behind the logic for owning Krugerrands, for instance. Consequently, the metal has had a pretty good pandemic. The gold price eased through $2,000 per ounce in August, and is forecast to do the same again this year, possibly assisted by a US $1.9 trillion stimulus package provided President Joe Biden’s party can force it through in the next few weeks. Less publicly known, however, is how Covid-19 is helping the gold price in a more direct, industrial way. According to legendary gold bull, Sprott Asset Management, a Canadian company, precious metals in medical instruments, which comprises between 3% to 5% of overall precious metal demand, is also playing its part.

2020 was a year that both validated and challenged the role of gold in a well-diversified portfolio. Traditionally viewed as a ‘safe haven’ that retains its value when other asset classes struggle, the precious metal stepped up to its task amid the first onset of Covid volatility with aplomb. Fast forward nine months, and gold has begun to lose some of its shine. Massive stimulus packages and renewed animal spirits have seen its price fall from a record high above $2,000 per ounce in August to now sit around $1,850. Meanwhile, a couple of tell-tale signs suggest the immediate prospects for the yellow metal don’t look all too positive.
