The law of supply and demand is always exerting a force on the price of Gold and other metals. To boil it down to its simplest truth . . .

When the demand for gold remains strong but the supply is limited, the price goes up

And now that force could push gold prices higher, judging from a number of news stories about world mining and trading trends. One of these reports is “From Russia with Love: A Putin Ally Mines Gold and Plays Favorites in Sudan” by Decian Walsh in The New York Times on June 6, 2022. To summarize what is happening, the number of gold mines in Africa has been increasing dramatically. The mines in question are financed by Russian companies that are doing business in Africa.

Another story that appeared recently in The Telegraph, “How Putin Prepared for Sanctions with Tonnes of African Gold,” by Tom Collins, sheds even more light on the fact that the Russians are amassing quantities of African gold.

The story that is about to unfold is that as more and more nations are refusing to trade with Russia, Putin and his allies could end up sitting on large quantities of gold that they will be unable to sell on world markets. So, thanks to that law of supply and demand, the value of gold that is already available in the United States and allied nations is poised to remain strong. And prices will hold steady or rise.
