Gold hit a US ATH, then dipped a tad, but not by much. In fact, it\u2019s doing pretty well on the whole\u2026
\n\u2026 It\u2019s less volatile than Bitcoin, anyway, which is a good or bad thing depending on outlook
\nSpeaking of which, RBC has some fairly cautious perspective on gold right now
\nASX gold stocks performing well lately include: XAM and KAL, among others<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
What\u2019s happening in the world near and far pertaining to gold on Friday March 22? Let\u2019s take a squizz.<\/em><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The most stoic of metals, the shiny yellow one is up a tad further than this time last week. Which is good, obvs. The US Fed\u2019s reasonably doveish tone earlier in the week, keeping rates unchanged for now and suggesting three rate cuts at some point<\/em> this year, kinda helped matters.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s where gold\u2019s at, then \u2013 at last check.<\/p>\n In Yankee Doodle Dandy dollars, it\u2019s trading at $2,184<\/strong>, having actually hit $2,222 not long after the Fed\u2019s Jerome Powell spoke in the week.<\/p>\n In plastic fantastic Aussie buckeroos, it\u2019s fanged up to $3,325<\/strong>. Which, if isn\u2019t an all-time-high (it isn\u2019t), is pretty darn close to it.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s the Schiff-meister with a take or two\u2026<\/p>\n Overnight weakness in foreign currencies ultimately caused #gold<\/a> to surrender early morning gains to a new record-high price. But the sell-off won’t last, as dovish foreign central banks are also bullish for gold. Foreign central bank’s mistakes don’t let the #Fed<\/a> off the hook.<\/p>\n \u2014 Peter Schiff (@PeterSchiff) March 21, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Compared with one of its chief rivals\/pretenders\/wannabes for a store of value narrative \u2013 gold 2.0, that\u2019d be Bitcoin \u2013 the yellow metal is a nice, safe ride at Luna Park with non-Death Metal music.<\/p>\n Bitcoin, on the other hand, has a lot more opportunity for potential, outsized gains, but is more volatile than the combined energies of Joe Pesci\u2019s character in Goodfellas<\/em>, a rugby league player hepped up on horse steroids and buckets of Mad Monday booze, and a 14-year-old who just lost his internet connection in the middle of the, like, most important Fortnite battle, like, f**kin\u2019 ever and stuff.<\/p>\n Store of value? Hmm\u2026 if you\u2019ve been in it for the long haul, then yes, but you take the good with the bad, there. Every. Single. Day.<\/p>\n #Bitcoin<\/a> vs Gold pic.twitter.com\/yB6wYv0C8V<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Michal Ehren (@MichalEhren) March 21, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n\n Wrong column, so we\u2019ll shut up about Bitcoin in a second or three, but by the way, it\u2019s been staging a bit of a late-week recovery after its dramatic near 20% dip from recently recorded all-time high of just north of US$73k. It\u2019s currently changing sweaty hands for about US$66k<\/strong>. (Aw nuts, another quick check and it\u2019s now $65k.)<\/p>\n Schiff again\u2026<\/p>\n To the extent that #Bitcoin<\/a> has distracted attention and buying from #gold<\/a>, it’s the best thing that’s happend to big government and central banks. Gold is the primary threat to the fiat based monetary system and U.S. dollar hegemony. That may be why those new ETFs were approved.<\/p>\n \u2014 Peter Schiff (@PeterSchiff) March 21, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n\n And here\u2019s something Peter Schiff will hate, from a Bitcoin bug investooor \/ influencooor\u2026<\/p>\n #GOLD<\/a> vs #Bitcoin<\/a> \u2014 InvestAnswers (@invest_answers) March 20, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n\n But sticking to the actual topic at hand, regarding gold <\/em>commodity investing, frankly, it\u2019s mostly been very decent indeed this year, if not out and out spectacular.<\/p>\n Digging deep into gold company equities, of course, is the far trickier and more volatile area. But there\u2019s the odd sick, crypto-like gainz to be found here and there, we\u2019re reasonably sure, if you\u2019re diligently due and possibly also a bit lucky. (See further below for some of the latest on the ASX.)<\/p>\n That said\u2026 that said\u2026<\/em> not all gold miners are doing amazingly right now. Heavy rain over in WA has proved a pain in the butt for some of the state\u2019s gold production, according to various reports, with Regis Resources (ASX:RRL)<\/strong><\/a>, Gold Road Resources (ASX:GOR)<\/strong><\/a>, Capricorn Metals (ASX:CMM)<\/strong><\/a> and Westgold Resources (ASX:WGX)<\/strong><\/a> , for example, among those dealing with challenging conditions.<\/p>\n Also, the ASX Gold Miners ETF has underperformed gold prices by more than 30% over the past three years, according to UBS analysis.<\/p>\n It\u2019s definitely a tricky area to navigate, like pretty much all resources equities.<\/p>\n #BTC<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/ZnBRc8VZ76<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 naiive (@naiivememe) March 21, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n\n Let\u2019s check in with some of the latest pro analysis, however, that we\u2019ve been seeing around the traps. Here\u2019s RBC Capital\u2026<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Which is to say, it probably isn\u2019t buying it up in droves necessarily right now<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n What\u2019s RBC Capital? It\u2019s a global investment bank affiliated to the Royal Bank of Canada, providing services in banking, finance, and capital markets to corporations, institutional investors, asset managers, and governments. As well as North America, it has a strong European, Asian and Aussie presence, too.<\/span><\/p>\n Now you kinda know what it is, what is it saying about gold? Among other things, this:<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cFor gold, most eyes were on the Fed today [March 20], but in our eyes there remain questions. Putting aside the slightly more gold-positive rate narrative, the ongoing lack of investor inflows remains a key concern. Where are those flows going and when will they return?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Sigh\u2026 okay RBC, guess we\u2019ll bite\u2026 when, then?<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Elevated prices vulnerable<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cIndeed, a rate cut narrative is gold positive, and indeed, there are wildly under-appreciated geopolitical risks in our view,\u201d continued the RBC analysis, not yet answering our question and then continuing with more questions, that they then quickly answer\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cHowever, has the rate cut narrative grown as incrementally more gold positive as price moves indicate? In our view, not really.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cIn terms of geopolitical or crisis hedging, are we seeing evidence of geopolitical allocations in other assets? No. Thus, in terms of durability, where are the drivers\u2026 or is gold simply destined for higher prices?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n To answer that question, the RBC spoilsports said they believe the gold commodity elevated pricing is actually \u201cmore vulnerable\u201d than it perhaps seems right now.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The analysts are not expecting up only [who does? Oh yeah, crypto folk], but a better entry or re-entry point than current levels.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n If a downwards catalyst materialises, RBC views \u201cQ1 and Q2 middle scenario forecasts as better prices to allocate into if they materialize ($2007\/oz and $2068\/oz, respectively), and think that in most cases, gold will lose steam around our high \u00a0<\/p>\n ETP inflows weakened<\/strong><\/p>\n Weak investor allocations is RBC\u2019s chief thesis here, citing weakening gold-backed\u00a0 ETP inflows since the middle of last year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Interestingly, back on the Bitcoin and crypto angle for just a moment, RBC also noted:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cSome have posited that cryptocurrencies and now the budding bitcoin ETP space could be absorbing those flows,\u201d but countered with:<\/p>\n \u201cWe see little evidence of that. The AUM numbers do not neatly stack-up (Figure 1). Likewise, the correlation between gold and crypto currencies remains weak and generally, we still think that there are more diversification reasons to hold both in a portfolio rather than one or the other.\u201d<\/p>\n Fair enough, can\u2019t argue with that last point.<\/p>\n Source: RBC Capital<\/p>\n Re the ETP flows, RBC reckons investors are probably \u201cholding their holdings\u201d flat in value terms rather than tonnage.<\/p>\n Explaining that further: \u201cGiven gold\u2019s price gains on average this has meant a heavy outflow in tonnage terms, likely moving into risk assets in our view.\u201d<\/p>\n The analysts concluded with the thought that, if investor flows were actually to perk up, then so would RBC\u2019s confidence in the current elevated prices remaining relatively intact and potentially moving higher.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n In a note on Thursday, UBS, another prominent multinational investment bank (mentioned above re Gold Miner ETF), noted that, while it\u2019s a fact that ETF has been underperforming\u2026<\/p>\n \u201cWith gold trading at A$3,340\/oz (US$2,180\/oz), we remain positive the sector with our forecasts calling for A$3,400\/oz (US$2,200\/oz) by year end on the US rate easing cycle \u2026 Lifting our long-term price could add 10-30% to our net present values; however, pressure continues on delivery for the gold miners.\u201d<\/p>\n UBS\u2019s ASX gold stonks picks right now, by the way, (also per a Market Index summary<\/a>) are, in the larger end of town:<\/p>\n \u2022 Evolution Mining (ASX:EVN)<\/strong><\/a> (buy \u2013 \u201con a turnaround\u201d)<\/p>\n \u2022 Northern Star Resources (ASX:NST)<\/strong><\/a> (neutral \u2013 \u201ccopper leverage\u201d)<\/p>\n \u2022 Newmont Corporation (ASX:NEM)<\/strong><\/a> (neutral \u2013 despite being \u201cstill disappointing\u201d)<\/p>\n And in the smaller end:<\/p>\n De Grey Mining (ASX:DEG)<\/strong><\/a> (buy \u2013 based on large inventory, geology, lots of \u201coptionality to high prices\u201d)<\/p>\n Gold Road Resources (ASX:GOR)<\/strong><\/a> (as above)<\/p>\n Bellevue Gold (ASX:BGL)<\/strong><\/a> (neutral)<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Further positive analysis, as seen on Bloomberg, came from Chris Weston, head of research for Pepperstone Group Ltd:<\/p>\n \u201cWhat we saw last night was the green light really for gold traders to come back in\u2026 They\u2019re tolerant of the inflation that we\u2019ve seen, they\u2019re tolerant that the labor market strength is not going to be the impediment.\u201d<\/p>\n And Marcus Garvey, head of commodities strategy at Macquarie Group Ltd, who said that gold\u2019s move toward $2,300 an ounce is a \u201creasonable technical target\u201d, adding:<\/p>\n \u201cI think the Fed not taking the opportunity of recently firmer inflation to lean hawkish at their meeting yesterday means gold is now going into a short-term overshoot scenario.\u201d<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Here\u2019s how ASX-listed precious metals stocks are performing, circa 3pm March 22:<\/strong><\/p>\n Scroll or swipe to reveal table.
