GSE Poised for Significant Gains Amid Global Gold Rush- Analyst

Analyst Projects Strong Year-End Finish for GSE on Rising Market Indicators

Ms Ruth Ofori, Financial Market Analyst and the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Lolyfx LTD

The remarkable rise in gold prices in 2024 has captured the attention of investors globally, who are clamouring to get their hands on the precious metal like prospectors in a modern-day gold rush. With gold prices up by 12 percent year-to-date and reaching record highs, the precious metal continues to be a favored asset amidst economic turbulence.

Ms Ruth Ofori, Financial Market Analyst and the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Lolyfx LTD, in an interview with Vault News has divulged that the Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE), home to significant gold-related listings such as the NewGold Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) and AngloGold Ashanti Depositary Shares (AADS), stands to benefit considerably from this global trend.

According to the market analyst, gold’s enduring allure as a safe-haven asset is evident in the recent surge in prices. The World Gold Council reports a 3 percent year-on-year increase in total gold demand, reaching 1,238 tons in the first quarter of 2024.

Central banks’ relentless gold purchases and robust bar and coin investments have been key drivers of this demand. Amidst global market volatility, gold’s value proposition as a stable investment has become increasingly attractive to investors, pushing spot prices to unprecedented levels.

Implications for the Ghana Stock Exchange

Ms Ruth Ofori noted that the Ghana Stock Exchange, like many other global markets, is influenced by international commodity prices, particularly gold.

“The surge in gold prices can have several positive implications for the GSE. Higher gold prices can attract more investors to gold-related securities listed on the GSE. As global investors seek to capitalize on the bullish gold market, the demand for gold-linked assets like the NewGold ETF and AngloGold Ashanti Depositary Shares is likely to increase. This can lead to higher trading volumes and liquidity on the GSE.

“Again, the rising value of gold can boost the market valuation of gold mining companies. AngloGold Ashanti, a major gold producer, stands to see an increase in its stock price as the market revalues its assets based on higher gold prices. This can lead to an overall rise in the GSE’s market capitalization.”

Ms Ofori averred that the gold rush can foster a positive sentiment towards the GSE, attracting both local and international investors. “As gold prices soar, the performance of gold-related stocks and ETFs can serve as a bellwether for the broader market, instilling confidence among investors”.

Benefits for NewGold ETF and AngloGold Ashanti Depositary Shares

While touching on the benefits that gold related shares listed on the local bourse stands to get from the recent gold rush, Ms Ofori pointed out that the NewGold ETF, which tracks the price of gold, is directly poised to benefit from the surge in gold prices. “As an ETF that provides investors with exposure to physical gold, its performance is inherently tied to the price movements of the precious metal”.

“With gold prices on the rise, the net asset value (NAV) of the NewGold ETF is expected to increase. This translates to higher returns for investors holding shares of the ETF, making it an attractive investment option. Also, the bullish gold market can attract more investors to the NewGold ETF, leading to increased inflows. As investors seek safe-haven assets, the ETF provides a convenient and cost-effective way to gain exposure to gold. Higher inflows can further boost the liquidity and trading volumes of the ETF on the GSE.”

Moreover, Ms Ofori asserted that in times of economic uncertainty, gold is often sought for portfolio diversification. The NewGold ETF, by providing direct exposure to gold, appeals to investors looking to hedge against market volatility and inflation. This increased demand can elevate the ETF’s market presence and performance.

The analyst noted that AngloGold Ashanti, one of the world’s largest gold mining companies, is well-positioned to capitalize on the rising gold prices through its depositary shares listed on the GSE.

According the Ms Ofori, higher gold prices directly translate to increased revenue and profit margins for gold mining companies. “For AngloGold Ashanti, this means improved financial performance, which can lead to higher dividends and a stronger balance sheet. Investors holding its depositary shares can expect enhanced returns.”

“As the market revalues AngloGold Ashanti’s assets based on the higher gold prices, the company’s stock price is likely to appreciate. This can provide significant capital gains for shareholders, attracting more investors to its depositary shares on the GSE.”

Global Trends and Gold Demand

Meanwhile, a collective march towards financial security and stability, with less reliance on the US dollar, is fast emerging as nations worldwide accumulate gold. The move by countries such as China, Turkey, and nations in the Middle East to strengthen their gold reserves also reflects a shift away from dollar hegemony. This trend, according to Ms Ofori, is likely to drive the price of gold higher as demand grows.

As it stands, the gold rush is on, and investors across the globe are rushing to tap into the precious metal’s potential. From advanced economies to emerging markets, from China’s strategic diversification to a shift in commodity pricing, from geopolitical uncertainty to rate cut expectations, investors are citing a number of factors as the driving force behind increasing gold in their portfolios.

All in all, the ongoing global gold rush presents a unique opportunity for the Ghana Stock Exchange and its listed entities. As gold prices continue their upward trajectory, the GSE can benefit from increased investor interest, enhanced market valuation, and positive sentiment. For the NewGold ETF and AngloGold Ashanti Depositary Shares, the implications are particularly favorable, with prospects of higher returns, increased inflows, revenue growth, and stock price appreciation. By capitalizing on the bullish gold market, these entities can strengthen their positions and deliver significant value to investors, solidifying the GSE’s standing in the global financial markets.
