As producers hold the physical, they usually hold a net-short futures position to protect themselves from market declines.<\/p><p>This bullish interest in Gold may have something to do with the Chinese New Year celebrations that will start from January 31st, which is Chinese New Year&#8217;s Eve. 2022 is the year of the Water-Tiger, which begins on February 1st. In a quick review of what to expect in 2022, I came up with the following: &#8220;Water Tiger of 2022 implies growth, development, challenge, creation, and planning.&#8221; No mention of lockdowns, supply chain disruptions, or COVID-19, but a generally positive sentiment. It would be nice to be able to plan and grow at least.<\/p><p>As well as the well-documented inflation and supply chain disruptions we have been dealing with for more than a year now, there are some obvious geopolitical risks. A portfolio exposed to Russia, Europe, and the USA would be well served by de-risking it with gold and the <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/2OJjKKR\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">yen<\/a>. A price break below $1815\/oz would cause CTA trend followers to liquidate some gold positions.

However, the demand for gold increased with the arrival of Buddhism during the Six Dynasties (222-589 AD). Offerings of gold were made, and golden pagodas and statues of the Buddha were built by worshippers.<\/p><p>Rising gold prices are another reason why the demand for gold could be reduced. In the past year or so, when prices have gotten above $1800, they haven&#8217;t stayed at elevated prices very long. A good mean regression target would be $1810, which lies within the current trading range of $1680 to $1920.<\/p><p>In addition to holiday demand, there are still some concerns about rising inflation in the real economy, and even though gold does not have a yield, it does depreciate as stocks rise above the ground, but not to the extent we are seeing with real rates in say the <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3IMUkUF\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">US dollar<\/a>. Gold allows you to lose your wealth at a slower pace than in an inflationary environment.<\/p><p>The Shanghai Gold Exchange reported that Chinese gold demand in 2021 was about 45% higher than what it was in 2020. According to the World Gold Council, Indian demand last year surged to over 1,000 tonnes for the first time in over a decade.<\/p><p>For me, the rising price of gold is driven by positive economics. Whenever people have spare cash, they can buy gold as gifts. Gold&#8217;s demand increases on an upward trajectory when the economy is on an upward trajectory due to the additional demand in jewellery and industrial usage. This disappears during recessions and periods of stagnation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-e1dccd8 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"e1dccd8\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-0059465\" data-id=\"0059465\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8211fec elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"8211fec\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"538\" src=\"https:\/\/youtrading.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Picture4-11.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-21484\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-c9405d9 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"c9405d9\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-23a8f38\" data-id=\"23a8f38\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-29c5818 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"29c5818\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p>Currently, China and India are the two largest global buyers of gold, though they are not the only countries interested in accumulating gold.
