As a result, CME Group Inc, the parent company of COMEX, the leader in gold and silver futures, will offer a one-ounce gold futures contract in January. According to CME, micro-contracts achieved record trading volumes this year. Private investors want to diversify their portfolios more and younger people are also increasingly turning to gold. Asians are particularly keen on gold as a store of value and as a way of hedging. However, one disadvantage of the new one-ounce gold futures could be the fact that the contract is not settled physically, but in cash. Anyone who wants to own gold is out of luck. And presumably these new contracts are not backed by physical gold either; they are paper gold.
As long as the value of paper gold does not plummet against physical gold, this is not a problem. However, it would be different if there were a run on physical gold. Because there is already plenty of paper gold. This would negate the advantages of physical gold - no default and counterparty risks. Physical gold and silver have long been the most reliable inflation hedges to protect against the ongoing loss of purchasing power of currencies. Mining companies hold physical gold in their projects; it is a tangible, stable asset.
Fortuna Mining - https://www.commodity-tv.com/ondemand/companies/profil/fortuna-mining-inc/ -, for example, produces gold and silver in five mines in Argentina, Burkina Faso, Côte d'Ivoire, Mexico and Peru. In addition, there is the Diamba Sud gold project in Senegal, which is in the advanced exploration and development phase.
Osisko Development - https://www.commodity-tv.com/ondemand/companies/profil/osisko-development-corp/ - wants to become a medium-sized gold producer. The Cariboo gold project in Canada, the San Antonio gold project in Mexico and the Tintic project in the USA are particularly promising.
