(Bloomberg) -- The gold market is showing no signs of going back to normal.Spreads between New York and London have stayed around $40, a sign that traders are hesitant and liquidity is thin. It’s still difficult to ship gold around the world and traders have speculated that some dealers are pulling back given the logistical risks.“The market itself is not broken,” said Rhona O’Connell, head of market analysis for EMEA and Asia at INTL FCStone. But it’s “thin and dislocated.”To be sure, there’s plenty of gold available in New York, according to Comex.

Dismissed as “gold bugs” by many mainstream investors, those who have long advocated buying gold have been vindicated this year, as prices have risen 9 per cent while stocks have dropped 20 per cent after the coronavirus outbreak. Last month, analysts at Goldman Sachs argued it was “time to buy the currency of last resort”, saying gold could hit $1,800 a troy ounce from its current price of about $1,650 due to “fear-driven investment demand”.
