  • Gold Price Dynamics Around the Clock
    Copenhagen Business School Department of Finance 15th May 2019 Gold Price Dynamics Around the Clock Authors: Francesco Donati (115765) Johannes A. Jung (115540) Supervisor: Paul Whelan Pages: 98 Characters: 183,273 Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Advanced Economics and Finance (Cand.Oecon) Acknowledgements We want to thank Copenhagen Business School for the splendid learning opportunity. We express our deep gratitude to the thesis supervisor, Paul Whelan, for his guidance. We want to thank our friends and families for their precious support during this exciting last period of our student life. A special mention goes to our parents, of course. We want to thank the amazing people met in the program, their energy, drive and diversity inspired and improved us. We will be missing all the ups and downs of student's life. Further, we want to thank Beyza and Emanuela, for the laughs and joy they brought us every day. Lastly, Johannes wants to mention that his girl Ploy is more precious than gold to him. Francesco & Johannes Abstract In this thesis we examine intraday behaviour of gold prices in the 24 hours day. We make a distinction between eastern world (China, India) and western world (US, Europe). We suspect that the intraday pattern may be affected by two factors: (i) large gold imports by eastern countries and (ii) manipulation of the London Gold Fix. We find a hat-shaped intraday seasonality, with gold appreciating during eastern trading hours in a robust way and depreciating for the rest of the day.

  • The London Bullion Market Association Responsible Gold Guidance
    The London Bullion Market Association Responsible Gold Guidance About the London Bullion Market Association The LBMA is the international trade association that represents the market for gold and silver bullion, which is centred in London but has a global client base, including the majority of the central banks that hold gold, private sector investors, mining companies, producers, refiners and fabricators. The current membership includes 129 companies which are actively involved in the loco London bullion market, including trading houses, banks, refiners, miners and fabricators as well as those providing services to the market such as consultants, supervisors and assayers. The membership encompasses a total of 22 countries. The LBMA was formally incorporated in 1987 at the behest of the Bank of England to take over the roles previously played by two separate organisations, the London Gold Market and London Silver Market, whose origins go back to the mid-nineteenth century. The LBMA Good Delivery List In the refining industry, the LBMA Good Delivery List includes the world’s pre-eminent refiners of gold and silver, located in 31 countries. The List is widely recognized as the de facto standard for the quality of gold and silver market bars. This recognition is based on the stringent criteria that applicants must satisfy before being listed, as well as the regular proactive monitoring of accredited refiners by the LBMA. In addition to satisfying the LBMA’s technical standards, a refiner seeking LBMA accreditation must meet a number of non-technical criteria in relation to ownership, tangible net worth and operating history. In response to the Dodd-Frank legislation on conflict minerals emanating from the DRC, the LBMA has informed all gold refiners on the List that in order to maintain their Good Delivery status, they will have to demonstrate that their refined output is conflict-free.
