Harga emas pukal dijangka melonjak kepada RM250 segram - Mohd Zaky Zainuddin

KUALA LUMPUR: Harga emas pukal dijangka melonjak ke paras RM250 segram dalam tempoh beberapa minggu akan datang, didorong langkah pelabur beralih kepada logam berharga itu susulan ia dianggap sebagai pelaburan selamat ketika berlaku krisis.

Penularan COVID-19 mencetuskan panik dalam kalangan pelabur dari masa ke semasa, selain daripada aktiviti perlombongan yang terhenti ekoran langkah kawalan pergerakan di seluruh dunia mengehadkan bekalan.

Ketua Perbendaharaan Ace Innovate Asia Bhd, Liew Kim Fung, berkata jangkaan lonjakan harga dijangka berlaku di tengah-tengah kelemahan permintaan logam berharga itu di seluruh dunia termasuk Malaysia.

Beliau berkata, momentum positif harga emas juga dipacu krisis kesihatan akibat pandemik itu yang mencetuskan penutupan operasi pengeluaran oleh pengeksport utama memandangkan industri emas bukannya barangan penting semasa perintah kawalan pergerakan (PKP) atau perintah berkurung.

Katanya, PKP dan perintah berkurung yang dilaksanakan di seluruh dunia juga menyebabkan pengeluaran emas fizikal terhenti sekali gus mengurangkan bekalan di pasaran.

“Buat masa ini, saya melihat lebih ramai yang menjual emas berbanding membeli disebabkan harga juga yang sangat tinggi, kecuali berlaku penurunan harga dalam tempoh beberapa bulan akan datang.

“Saya menjangkakan harga emas mampu melepasi paras RM276.60 segram atau AS$1,800 (RM7,841) seauns tahun ini susulan ketidaktentuan yang dicetuskan pandemik COVID-19,” katanya ketika dihubungi BH.

Mengulas lanjut, Kim Fung, berkata langkah AS memperkenalkan pakej rangsangan dan pelonggaran dasar ekonomi untuk menangani COVID-19 juga mendorong kejatuhan nilai dolar AS dan menjadikan emas sebagai pilihan selamat kepada pelabur.

Katanya, perkara sama turut berlaku pada 2008 hingga 2015, di mana AS memperkenalkan dasar pelonggaran kuantitatif bagi membendung krisis kewangan yang memberi manfaat kepada emas yang melonjak sehingga AS$1,900 (RM8,279) seauns atau RM292 segram.

“Apa yang berlaku ketika ini didorong kuat oleh kesan COVID-19 dan dasar AS. Saya menjangkakan sejarah lonjakan harga emas akan berulang lagi tahun ini.

“Pada pendapat saya, berdasarkan kedudukan harga semasa emas, ia boleh dikatakan sebagai masa terbaik untuk menjual meskipun harga mungkin akan terus meningkat, tetapi apa sahaja boleh berlaku kerana kejatuhan harga boleh berlaku dalam tempoh singkat seperti 2003 iaitu dari AS$1,900 (RM8,279) kepada AS$1,180 (RM5,141) seauns atau RM292 kepada RM181 segram,” katanya.

Mengenai pasaran tempatan, beliau berkata, permintaan di peringkat domestik terhenti untuk tempoh jangka pendek sehingga COVID-19 dapat ditangani sepenuhnya.

Katanya, apabila pandemik itu berakhir, lonjakan permintaan bagi emas tempatan akan melonjak, khususnya rekaan barang kemas 916 ketulenan emas dari pengeluar Malaysia.

“Buat masa ini, emas akan menjadi topik panas bagi kebanyakan rakyat Malaysia, namun peningkatan harga menjadi logam berharga ini lebih mahal. Malah, dagangan dalam talian juga kurang aktif disebabkan harga tinggi dan rakyat lebih memilih keperluan asas ketika PKP. Saya lihat pembelian aktif adalah topeng muka dan cecair pembasmi kuman.

Kim Fung berkata, beliau melihat akan wujud penyertaan aktif pelabur dalam platform seperti Akaun Pelaburan Emas (GIA) atau pasaran Bursa Malaysia Derivatives – Niaga Hadapan Emas (FGLD) selepas ini.

“Ini kerana pemulihan kos dapat diraih meskipun kadar ketidaktentuan tinggi dalam tempoh beberapa hari atau minggu berbanding memakan masa berbulan-bulan atau tahun,” katanya.

Harga emas fizikal dibuka RM2.69 lebih rendah kepada RM231.31, berbanding harga penutup semalam RM234.00.

Emas emas emas emas emas emas emas emas emas emas emaS

A child finds a shiny rock in a creek, thousands of years ago, and the human race

is introduced to gold for the first time.

Gold was first discovered as shining, yellow nuggets. "Gold is where you find it," so the saying goes,

and gold was first discovered in its natural state, in streams all over the world. No doubt it was the

first metal known to early hominids.

Gold became a part of every human culture. Its brilliance, natural beauty, and luster, and its

great malleability and resistance to tarnish made it enjoyable to work and play with.

Because gold is dispersed widely throughout the geologic world, its discovery occurred to many different groups in many different

locales.

And nearly everyone who found it was impressed with it, and so was the developing culture in which they lived.

Gold was the first metal widely known to our species. When thinking about the historical progress of technology,

we consider the development of iron and copper-working as the greatest contributions to our species' economic and cultural progress –

but gold came first.

Gold is the easiest of the metals to work. It occurs in a virtually pure and workable state,

whereas most other metals tend to be found in ore-bodies that pose some difficulty in smelting.

Gold's early uses were no doubt ornamental, and its brilliance and permanence (it neither corrodes

nor tarnishes) linked it to deities and royalty in early civilizations .

Gold has always been powerful stuff. The earliest history of human interaction with gold is long lost to us, but its association with

the gods, with immortality, and with wealth itself are common to many cultures throughout the world.

Early civilizations equated gold with gods and rulers, and gold was sought in their name and dedicated to their glorification.

Humans almost intuitively place a high value on gold, equating it with power, beauty, and the cultural elite.

And since gold is widely distributed all over the globe, we find this same thinking about gold throughout ancient

And modern civilizations everywhere.

Gold, beauty, and power have always gone together. Gold in ancient times was made into shrines and idols

("the Golden Calf"), plates, cups, vases and vessels of all kinds, and of course, jewelry for personal adornment.

The "Gold of Troy" treasure hoard, excavated in Turkey and dating to the era 2450 -2600 B.C., show the range of gold-work

from delicate jewelry to a gold gravy boat weighing a full troy pound. This was a time when gold was highly valued,

but had not yet become money itself. Rather, it was owned by the powerful and well-connected, or made into objects of worship,

or used to decorate sacred locations.

Gold has always had value to humans, even before it was money. This is demonstrated by the extraordinary efforts made to obtain it.

Prospecting for gold was a worldwide effort going back thousands of years, even before the first money in the form of

gold coins appeared about 700 B.C.

In the quest for gold by the Phoenicians, Egyptians, Indians, Hittites, Chinese, and others, prisoners of war were sent to

work the mines, as were slaves and criminals. And this happened during a time when gold had no value as 'money,'

but was just considered a desirable commodity in and of itself.

The 'value' of gold was accepted all over the world. Today, as in ancient times, the intrinsic appeal of gold itself has that

universal appeal to humans. But how did gold come to be a commodity, a measurable unit of value?
