  1. The supply deficit is certainly not new, and it’s not enough on its own to explain the price rally. That’s why it’s important to look at the components of supply and demand, to get a sense of what drives each of them and what the likely prognosis is for each: how quickly is supply likely to respond to increases in demand? Is an increase in one form of demand likely to substitute for another form, rather than be additive? What is the relationship between price and each component of supply and demand?
  2. Gold has been in the news a lot since it moved up to the levels not seen since 1980 which has left many people wondering whether gold is not overbought and exactly what fair value might be. The NCDEX is not in the business of forecasting the gold price – in fact we’re not allowed to. But I believe it’s a useful exercise to set the recent gains in real terms, which is what you can see here, and what most investors ought to care about. And in real terms, the gold price has only just recovered ground lost in the early 1990s. The brown and black lines shown on this chart trace the real gold price in constant 1968 prices and in constant 1975 prices. In real terms, the gold price has increased only modestly over the last six years – particularly when compared to the giddiness of other commodity markets that are less liquid. The background that led to the price spike in 1980 was quite extraordinary- : US inflation in double digits; crude oil around $40/barrel; equities approaching the end of a prolonged bull market; Soviet Union invading Afghanistan; By contrast, the rally that began in 2001 has been supported for the most part by continuing strength in demand against supply that simply has not managed to keep pace.
