In addition, the following factors will also affect the prices of crude oil and gold.
1. Supply and demand. When the market demand for crude oil and gold is large, but the supply is less than the demand, the prices of gold and crude oil may rise, and conversely, when the supply is greater than the demand, the prices will fall.
2. US dollar index. The trend of the dollar is negatively related to the price of gold, with the dollar weakening, the price of gold rising, the dollar strengthening and the price of gold falling. At the same time, the dollar index is also negatively correlated with crude oil.
Oil prices are positively correlated with gold prices. The rise of oil price means that the pressure of global price increase is intensified, which leads to the occurrence of global inflation and the rise of gold price. On the contrary, oil prices have fallen, and gold prices have also fallen.
Gold (English: Gold) is a chemical element with chemical symbol Au (from Latin: Aurum) and atomic number 79. Pure gold is a kind of metal with bright luster, reddish yellow, soft texture, high density and ductility. It is a rarer, more precious and more valuable metal. It is not only a special currency for reserve and investment, but also an important material for jewelry industry, electronics industry, modern communication, aerospace industry and other departments.
history
/kloc-before the 0/9th century, the level of gold productivity in human society was very low. Some people think that in the thousands of years before19th century, the total amount of gold produced by human beings was less than 10000 tons, for example, it was only 200 tons in18th century.
Due to the discovery of a series of gold resources in the19th century, the gold output has greatly increased since then, especially in the 50 years in the second half of the19th century, which exceeded the sum of the previous 5,000 years. In 20 13 years, the global total gold output is about 2770 tons.
According to the analysis report of China Gold Industry Market Prospect and Investment Strategic Planning, from April 20 13 to the middle of 20 15, the international gold price has been in a downturn after a sharp drop.
Judging from the global economic situation, the world economic growth rate may pick up slightly in 20 15, but the overall recovery is weak. The volatility of international financial markets and commodity markets has intensified, and non-economic factors such as geopolitics have a greater impact, and there are still many uncertain factors. With the strengthening of the US dollar, the prices of commodities such as gold, non-ferrous metals and oil are all running at a low level at 20 15, and the low price of gold may become the "new normal" in the next few years.
