New smart money queues up in the gold market

First institutions and funds came over to gold’s corner, then central banks. Now, a whole new grouping of professional investors – pension funds, private wealth management, insurance companies, and sovereign wealth funds. “It’s a bit like what happened to big tech,” says highly respected economist Mohammed El-Erian. “People like [gold] because it’s defensive. People like it because it’s a reflation trade. People like it because it’s inflation protection.  What we are starting to see with the narrative about gold is starting to be like the narrative about big tech.  It gives you everything.” These groups bring considerable purchasing power and market savvy to the table. One immediate result might be more buying interest on price dips.  Another might be a better blend of investment psychology and objectives that could have a settling effect on the market overall.
