Gold investors returning from summer vacation are eager to see whether this precious metal will maintain its record-breaking rise or succumb to the September curse.
Bloomberg reported that since 2017, the price of gold has fallen every September. During this period, the average monthly decline in September was 3.2%, undoubtedly the worst-performing month of the year, far below the 1% average monthly increase.
This phenomenon has left economists believing that the market should operate more effectively puzzled. This phenomenon is not limited to gold: September is usually the worst-performing month for the US stock market as well. Over the past 10 years, the S&P 500 index has fallen by an average of over 1.5% in this month.
This dynamic is far from reliable. Looking at a 30-year time frame, the price of gold actually rises in September. However, the recent weakness can be explained by traders buying gold to establish defensive positions against the volatility of the summer months and then selling when the September holiday ends and work resumes.
FastMarkets analyst Boris stated that before the holiday, people wanted to hedge market risks, and one of the methods was to buy gold.
Academically, some investors do enter a "closed-door" mode in the summer. Traditionally, adding safe-haven gold to the investment portfolio in periods of high volatility can bring peace of mind.
Looking back at history, conflicts and market crashes often erupt in the summer. Market volatility may intensify, and at this time, the trading department is often short-handed and executives are absent.
On the downside, when September arrives...
