The Hong Kong Gold Market and the Southeast Asian Gold Trade in the 1950s

During the 1950s Hong Kong became the centre of the Asian gold trade because of its facilities as an entrepot. Before this however, its status was threatened by the British exchange controls in the post World War II period, as well as the United Nations embargo on Chinese trade imposed in 1951 in response to China’s involvement in the Korean War.

In this article, we will trace the operations of the unofficial gold market in Hong Kong. “The unofficial gold market is an especially compelling example of the perseverance of Hong Kong as a centre for regional trade and is somewhat unique in being favoured with substantial records of prices and transactions. Nevertheless, the early development of this market has not been widely researched, although the unofficial gold market and the regional trade relations which operated in the post-war period formed the basis for the rapid expansion of the Hong Kong gold market after the liberalization of controls in 1974”.

Gold has been an important commodity in all countries around the world, Hong Kong being of no exception. As it became more important as a world monetary reserve, trade restrictions were multiplied.

During the 1950’s, Hong Kong gold dealers imported gold against US dollars and then exported them against Hong Kong dollars. This meant that the gold markets depended on the US dollar free-market that operated through the ‘native’ Chinese banks in Hong Kong.

On 14 April 1949, after some deliberation, the gold market was shut down by the Hong Kong authorities. Instantaneously, there was an increase in the US dollar exchange rate on the free market because they were scared that the closure of the gold market indicated the preparation of the impending sterling devaluation.

“Unfortunately, the timing of the announcement was ill favoured by political events in China. Seven days later, on 21 April, the Communists crossed the Yangtse River and the takeover of China was assured. The Chinese currency, the gold yuan, collapsed and only silver coins were acceptable in trading. As a result there was a flood of capital out of China and out of the Asian region generally which took the form of purchases of US dollars in local black markets. The consequent rise of the US dollar exchange rate caused difficulties for Hong Kong importers and raised the prices of consumer goods and the cost of living. Meanwhile, the gold market had been forced underground and the uncertainty had caused gold prices to double, which added to the upward pressure on the dollar exchange rate”.

Despite the closure of the gold market, it did not stop the trade itself. It wasn’t legal to trade in gold of a quality of 0.99 fine, but the market was able to function legally in 0.945 fine gold. Outside trade in 0.945 gold continued to be prohibited but once in Hong Kong, it was still able to be bought and sold on the open market. 0.99 fine gold was smelted provisionally in Macao or else smuggled into Hong Kong to be smelted before it reached the market.

Members of the Gold and Silver Exchange Associationwould buy their seats on the exchange. In 1951, a seat would cost 27,000 HK dollars, by 1954 it had fallen to 8,000 HK dollars.

Hong Kong was an important market that was able to serve the needs of Southeast Asia and the rest of the world. The Philippine gold market was largely underdeveloped and it was Bangkok and Singapore were the main distributors throughout Southeast Asia in gold. “Until the end of I952, Bangkok featured prominently in both imports and exports of Hong Kong gold. The Thai authorities prohibited the import of gold but allowed it to be held in bond for re-export. Gold was flown from Europe or America to Bangkok and stored temporarily in a specially constructed vault at the airport. The gold was then transferred to Catalina flying boats and flown to the harbour at Macao. From there the gold was smuggled to Hong Kong and sold to exporters who smuggled it back to the Thai gold market”.

It was after 1952 the Singapore became the key market as gold exports for Hong Kong. A new legal market was opened in Bangkok not long after and Saigon became prominent as well. In 1969, Singapore legalised gold imports for export only, making sure that the Singaporeans were still restricted in buying gold on their own domestic markets.

It wasn’t until 1974 that the Hong Kong was liberalized. In the last few decades, Hong Kong has become one of the world’s leading financial centres, with banks and financial institutions from all over the world. The unofficial gold market here allowed Southeast Asia to prosper and grow into the major player it has now become.
