Global Commodities: Gold Rushes to Record Highs

Speakers:  

Natasha Kaneva, Head of Global Commodities Research

Gregory Shearer, Head of Base and Precious Metals Research

 

Gold prices have shot to new highs this week largely catching the market by surprise given relatively minor moves in rates and FX.  The sharp rally demonstrates the immense power of flow in gold and previews why we remain structurally bullish the metal over the next year. Yet, for us to ultimately reach our upside price targets we need to unlock more than just the systematic momentum inflows we likely saw this week. This will require continued moderation in inflation and US jobs data in the coming months to solidify Fed cut expectations and ultimately trigger the next leg of inflows from discretionary funds and ETF holders necessary to push prices up towards our $2,300/oz ultimate target.

Global Commodities: Moving along the electrification road

21.6 million electrified vehicles (BEV, PHEV, hybrids) were likely sold worldwide in 2023 or 33% of total auto sales. Sales of battery EVs are still rising, but the growth rate appears to be easing, losing market share to hybrids. Fully or partially electric vehicles represent now 7% of the global fleet, likely shaving almost 500 kbd off global gasoline demand between 2019 and 2023, with 400 kbd of those from the US and China. Increasing pressure from electrification and efficiency gains will likely lead to a first on record outside of recession contraction in global gasoline demand in 2025 and a cumulative loss of 0.9 mbd by 2030.

Global Commodities: Learnings from Earnings: One US gas producer steps up; European industrial demand starts its comeback

While US natural gas prices made historic lows not seen since 1995 last week, European and global LNG prices have slid to lows not seen since before the Russia/Ukraine war. As prices have fallen, we have seen some interesting comments this earnings season which are likely the very result of these low prices. In the US market we will discuss one producer’s move to defer production while in the European market we will discuss what appears to be signs of life for industrial demand.

Shikha Chaturvedi, Head of Global Natural Gas Research
