Russia’s Gokhran May Resume Gold, Silver Purchases Next Year

Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013 Jul 09, 2013 - 12:35 PM GMT

By: GoldCore

Yesterday’s AM fix was USD 1,225.50, EUR 954.22 and GBP 822.70 per ounce.

Gold rose $14.80 or 1.21% yesterday and closed at $1,236.50/oz. Silver climbed 1.06% and closed at $19.06.




Support and Resistance Chart - (GoldCore)

Gold is over 1% higher in all currencies today. The gains are being attributed to data which showed that China’s inflation accelerated more than estimated in June, boosting demand for the precious metal as a hedge against inflation, in what will become the world’s largest buyer of gold this year.

The Russian State Precious Metals and Gems Repository Gokhran may resume gold purchases in 2014, Bloomberg and Reuters reported citing Russian state news services.

Gokhran, the State Precious Metals and Gems Repository, is a state institution under the Russian Ministry of Finance, responsible for the State Fund of Precious Metals and Precious Stones of the Russian Federation, is set to start buying gold again on the domestic market in 2014 after a two-year break.

Annual purchases by state repository Gokhran may also include palladium and silver.

State-run news service reported, citing an unidentified official with knowledge of the matter, that Gokhran may buy 7 to 10 tonnes (225,050-321,500 troy ounces) of gold in addition to purchases of the Bank of Russia, the Russian central bank.

RIA, The Russian State News Agency, reported that the resumption of purchases depends on approval of amendments by lawmakers during the Duma fall session.

Gokhran's holdings are not part of Russia's more than $500 billion in gold and foreign exchange reserves held by the central bank, which include 32.0 million troy ounces of gold, according central bank data as of May 1.

Cross Currency Table - (Bloomberg)

In 2009, Gokhran sold 30 tonnes of gold to the central bank, in a deal valued at $1 billion that covered part of a budget deficit resulting from the 2008 global financial crash and subsequent recession.

The repository used to buy 3-5 tonnes of gold by advance payment to domestic producers.

Gokhran could face challenges returning to the gold market as it would have to compete with commercial banks which are buying gold on the domestic market and to offer miners better terms, said Sergei Kashuba, the head of the Russian Gold Industrialists' Union.

Russia's 2013 gold production is likely to rise by 3.5%, year-on-year, to 233.8 tonnes.

While the source did not specify how much palladium Gokhran may buy from the market, its sales of the metal from stocks have helped keep the global palladium market in surplus for eight of the last 10 years. These stocks are almost depleted now, according to platinum refiner Johnson Matthey.
