All signs point to a third straight year of gains for gold in Year of the Ox, analysts say

Gold will continue to rise in the Year of the Ox albeit at a slower pace than the previous two years, aided by low-interest rates, inflationary concerns and the Covid-19 pandemic, according to analysts. The price of bullion in Hong Kong rose 18 per cent in the Year of the Rat to close at HK$17,050 (US$2,200) per tael (37.8 gram) on Thursday, the last trading day before the Lunar New Year holiday. "The Year of the Ox is likely to see gold prices rising between 15 and 20 per cent to break through HK$20,000 per tael," said Haywood Cheung Tak-hay, president of the Chinese Gold and Silver Exchange Society.

He said that with the US likely to keep interest rates at near zero for some time and other central banks adopting monetary easing policies to boost the post-pandemic economic recovery, liquidity will inevitably find its way into gold, Cheung said. The Year of the Ox, which began on Friday, comes second in the 12 animals of the Chinese zodiac. The 12 animals - which follow in the order of rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog and pig - represent a cycle of 12 years. Gold's solid performance in the Year of the Rat follows an identical showing in the Year of the Pig when it rose 18 per cent. In the past five years, the metal has added 61 per cent. In August, gold breached the US$2,000 level for the first time to reach an all-time high of US$2,075 per ounce, beating the previous record of US$1,920 in 2011. In 2020, gold gained 24 per cent, compared to a 3.4 per cent decline in the Hang Seng Index last year. The surge came as investors sought refuge in the safe asset amid concerns over political tensions between the United States and China, the coronavirus pandemic, inflation, and an uncertain global economic outlook.

Rotbart & Co Precious Metals, which trades gold and other precious metals. "The end of Covid-19 is not in sight, unfortunately, which means a continuation of the global economic downturn. This also means that investors will still be looking for liquid safe-havens, and gold is one of those assets." Rotbart, however, said that although global inflationary concerns and low-interest rates will continue to support gold, prices may appreciate at a slower pace than the previous two years at around 10 per cent this year. "The outlook remains favourable for gold," said Stephen Innes, a strategist at Axi, a Sydney-headquartered forex and commodities trading firm. "I think the US dollar will weaken going into midyear before stabilising which should be favourable for gold." However, not everyone expects the bull run to continue. The factors that supported gold's rise - pandemic, inflation and uncertain global economic outlook - will dissipate, said Jasper Lo, a veteran gold trader and independent bullion analyst, who forecast a 10 per cent decline in prices this year. Since US President Joe Biden took office he has introduced a lot of measures to boost the economy, which has boosted US and international stock markets, he said, adding that Covid-19 vaccination programmes may help to bring the pandemic under control. "This will cut down the demand for gold as a safe haven," Lo said.

While Rat-born people are very ambitious and successful career-people, they’re probably very anxious and stressed.
Marites said: “People born in the Year of the Rat are known for being charming. They work hard to achieve their goals and set very high standards in life.
“They have big ambitions, and they are usually very successful. Gifted with innate intelligence, they can maximise opportunities as they present themselves.
“On the outside, they may appear cool and collected; in truth, they are restless and a little nervous underneath.

Chinese New Year Traditions From Our Tatler Community

“Chinese New Year is always about family. Our CNY traditions have vastly evolved over the years as we grew up. When we were young, our parents used to take us to their friends’ homes to bai leen [give our best wishes] and collect lai see. I remember learning about basic money management concepts and the importance of saving as a result of these customs. My mum opened bank accounts for us and would deposit our lai see money in there each year.
By the time we were about eight years old, we learned to play the famous card game Chor Dai Dee, or Big Two as it’s called in English. In our teenage years we used to go to an aunty’s home where she or my mother would take turns to be the banker and we’d try to win money. We would play all sorts of card games from Big Small, to Blackjack—betting with our lai see money. Small bets, of course. I’m happy to report that, today, none of us have a gambling addiction.

After a year of anxiety, what can we expect from the Year of the Ox in 2021?

Jan 1, 2021
Few people will have been sorry to see the end of 2020, a year characterized by the global COVID-19 pandemic. For those who follow the Chinese new year, the close of the tragic and tumultuous Year of the Rat is fast approaching, too.
Feb. 12 marks the beginning of the Year of the Ox. The second animal of the Chinese zodiac, the ox denotes the hard work, positivity and honesty that will be manifested in all of us in the coming 12 months, according to astrologers.
Jupiter Lai, a Hong-Kong based Chinese and Western astrologer, says the ox is “grounded, loyal, gentle and trustworthy.”
