Gold and silver continue tobe bullish, the gold miners are mixed and bitcoin continues to outperform. Despitethe unprecedented events of 2020 the precious metals have had a positive year,the pandemic brought volatility to the market with a sharp drop followed by acontinuation of the upward trend that had begun before Covid disrupted ourlives.
Unprecendented globalliquidity since the pandemic has been the catalyst for much of the recent reflationin markets, Central Bank willingness to maintain ultra low rates, Governmentdeficits, stimulus packages and infrastructure projetcs are all adding torising markets.
Whilst Coronavirus is stillwith us it seems as though we are over the worst of it, with better testing andvaccines available to us, barring an unprecedented mutation it is unlikely toprovide no more than a mild headwind to investors as we head to the peak of theNorthern Hemisphere flu season.
The pandemic has done veryittle to alter the general long term trend of most markets and a weakeningDollar has helped the reflation process. Having said all of the above, therecent gold run began before the pandemic, investors were already concerned aboutthe state of the global economy before the end of 2019. Signs of a slowingeconomy became more pervasive many investors already had expectations ofcentral bank liquidity injections in 2020 prior to the pandemic.
As we come out of the crisiswe expect to see the full effects of the pandemic become more apparent, weexpect Central Banks and Governments to continue to add to liquidity in anattempt to regain lost ground, this will doubtless be good for the preciousmetals complex well in to 2021.
