Liputan6.com, New York - Harga emas dunia naik seiring jatuhnya ekuitas Amerika Serikat di tengah kekhawatiran tentang eskalasi aksi militer Rusia di Ukraina Timur. Ini membantu pemulihan kerugian yang sebelumnya terjadi didorong bullish data ekonomi AS.

Harga emas di pasar spot naik 0,2 persen menjadi US$ 1.289,94 per ounce. Sementara emas berjangka AS untuk pengiriman Desember di bawah harga spot, turun US$ 3,60 menjadi US$ 1.285,30 per ounce melansir laman Reuters, Rabu (6/8/2014).

Harga emas berbalik lebih tinggi setelah Menteri Luar Negeri Polandia Radoslaw Sikorski mengatakan Rusia telah kembali mengumpulkan pasukan militer di perbatasan dengan Ukraina sebagai upaya menekan negara tetangganya.

"Emas mendapatkan dorongan usai S & P meluncur setelah peningkatan kemarin," kata Thomas Capalbo, Pedagang Logam Mulia di Newedge Broker. "Dan penurunan harga emas menjadi US$ 1,280 sebelumnya diketahui memberikan kesempatan membeli," tambah dia.

Harga emas awalnya jatuh setelah laporan menunjukkan pesanan baru untuk barang-barang pabrik AS naik lebih dari yang diharapkan pada bulan Juni.

Data pemeirntah AS baru-baru menunjuk ke penguatan kegiatan ekonomi telah membebani daya tarik emas sebagai lindung nilai bagi investor .

Di pasar emas ritel, sentimen pribadi-investor terhadap logam pulih di bulan Juli lebih rendah dalam empat tahun bulan sebelumnya usai naik akibat ketegangan geopolitik.(Nrm)

6 August 2014 - PRECIOUS-Gold turns higher on U.S. equities tumble, Ukraine worry

NEW YORK/LONDON, Aug 5 (Reuters) - Gold prices rose on Tuesday as a tumble in U.S. equities and worries about escalation of military action in eastern Ukraine helped bullion recover earlier losses driven by bullish U.S. economic data.

Bullion prices turned higher after Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski said Russia has gathered military forces at the border with Ukraine either to put pressure on the neighboring country or to enter it.

Wall Street fell sharply on the news, with the broad-based S&P 500 index falling about 1 percent.

"Gold is getting a boost as the S&P is now sliding after yesterday's rebound," said Thomas Capalbo, precious metals trader at brokerage Newedge. "And gold's drop earlier to $1,280 provided a buying opportunity."

Spot gold was up 0.2 percent at $1,289.94 an ounce by 3:32 p.m. EDT (1932 GMT).

U.S. COMEX gold futures for December delivery underperformed spot prices, settling down $3.60 at $1,285.30 an ounce.

The metal initially fell after a report showed new orders for U.S. factory goods rose more than expected in June as demand increased across the board. Recent U.S. data pointing to strengthening economic activity has weighed on gold's appeal as a hedge for investors..

In the retail gold market, private-investor sentiment toward the metal in July recovered from the previous month's four-year low on rising geopolitical tensions, said a survey by online precious metals market BullionVault.

The Gold Investor Index, which measures the balance of customers adding to gold holdings over those reducing them, climbed to 51.9 in July from 51.2 in June. A reading of 50 signals an equal number of net gold buyers and sellers

In a measure of investor sentiment, SPDR Gold Trust, the world's largest gold-backed exchange traded fund, said its holdings fell 1.79 tonnes to 800.05 tonnes on Monday.

In coin sales, Perth Mint's sales of gold and silver dropped to a three-month low in July, according to the most recent data on its website.

Among other precious metals, silver fell 1.8 percent to $19.81 an ounce, having earlier reached $19.71, the lowest since June 18.

Platinum eased 0.2 percent to $1,449.50 an ounce, while palladium fell 0.6 percent to $845 an ounce. (Additional reporting by A. Ananthalakshmi in Singapore; Editing by William Hardy, Mark Potter and Steve Orlofsky)

6 August 2014 - Gold rebounds after closing lower

Gold prices have marched higher in aftermarket electronic trading, reversing earlier losses after comments by a Polish official renewed worries about escalating tensions between Russia and Ukraine.

Poland's foreign minister, Radoslaw Sikorski, said Russian troops are poised to pressure or invade Ukraine, in comments made on TVN24 BIS, according to Bloomberg.

'Just the fact that those words were uttered by a high-ranking official in the Polish government is very supportive for gold,' said Bob Haberkorn, a senior commodities broker with RJO Futures in Chicago.

'For a foreign minister to mention the possibility of an invasion, those are strong words.'

Gold for December delivery rose $US3.70, or 0.3 per cent, to $US1,292.50 a troy ounce in electronic aftermarket trading on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange. Comex floor trading closed at 1.30pm EDT, with gold futures posting a slight loss.

'Poland's concerned now that tensions are increasing on the Russia-Ukraine border ... and gold is grinding higher,' said Bill Baruch, a senior market strategist with iiTrader in Chicago.

Gold prices have marched higher in 2014 as a series of political crises in Eastern Europe and the Middle East stoked investor demand for a haven. Gold is viewed by some investors as a safer bet than currencies or other assets during periods of economic or political turbulence.

However, on Tuesday gold for December delivery ended floor trading down $US3.60, or 0.3 per cent, at $US1,285.30 a troy ounce on the Comex.

Gold prices retreated earlier in the day amid pressure from a stronger US dollar. The ICE Dollar Index, which tracks the greenback against a basket of international currencies, reached 81.62, its highest level in nearly a year. Gold is traded in US dollars and becomes more expensive to foreign buyers when the greenback strengthens.

Gold's slide dragged other precious metals to the lowest levels in more than a month, with silver for delivery in September down two per cent at $US19.833 an ounce. It was the first time silver had settled below $US20 an ounce since June 18.

Palladium for September delivery fell 0.8 per cent to $US848.35 a troy ounce as some investors continued to lock in gains after the precious metal hit 13-year highs in July.

乌克兰爆发危机，俄罗斯与西方的关系恶化，该国央行[微博]一直在大量增加黄金(1289.50, 4.20, 0.33%)储备。

国际货币基金组织[微博](IMF[微博])在近期发布的"国际金融统计报告"中指出，俄罗斯6月增持16.8吨黄金至1094.8吨。

IMF数据显示，实际上，多数央行正在增加黄金储备。俄罗斯，墨西哥，哈萨克斯坦，吉尔吉斯坦，塔吉克斯坦和，塞尔维亚，希腊和厄瓜多尔都在6月份增持了黄金。

从2009年1季度到2014年1季度，俄罗斯黄金储备几乎翻了一番，增至1040.71吨，而印度央行的黄金储备增加了56%至557吨。中国黄金储备增加75.0%至1054吨，这还是2009年的水平，据称，中国黄金储备远高于官方数据。

2013年，金价大幅下跌，中央银行买入黄金的规模达到半世纪最高水平。至2013年底，各国央行持有的黄金估计达30500吨，占全球黄金已开采总量的五分之一。

除了俄罗斯，土耳其和墨西哥央行，菲律宾，哈萨克斯坦在2013年大量买入黄金，韩国和印度尼西亚也是大买家。

2014年上半年，世界央行共买入黄金113吨，俄罗斯，伊拉克和哈萨克斯坦买入量较大。
