1 - increasing deficit in balance of trade to the United States:The increasing deficit in balance of trade to the United States and one of reasons for the high price of gold, and this deficit is caused by increasing the proportion of imports to private consumption, including the volume of exports. When the ratio of the rise in imports of 1.4% and the percentage rise in exports, 0.4% becomes a deficit in the trade balance and thus increase the price of gold.
2 - Low output:The decline in production of some gold-producing countries to be another reason added to the reasons for the high prices of gold, the most important gold-producing countries are: South Africa and the United States, Canada, Australia, China and the Philippines.
