Expectations are the Fed will cut rates by 25 basis points
Falling interest rates make metals more attractive
Tie in bullish technicals with a clueless Fed and we should see higher gold and silver prices.
Yesterday we wrote that gold and silver would probably be quiet and
flat until after the Fed reported on Wednesday. It now looks like the
metals are trying to get a jump on the Fed and have started to rally
early.
Friday saw gold
trade as low as $1,412 and suddenly the metal is back over $1,440.
There was a late-day rally Monday with some early morning follow-through
today. The key to watch in gold is the $1,450 level, since a close
above would signal $1,500 is not far behind. Silver looks like it wants to join the rally and push through $17.
Expectations are the Fed will cut rates by 25 basis points; that
would be bullish for the metals. Falling interest rates make metals more
attractive. Tie in bullish technicals with a clueless Fed and we should
see higher gold and silver prices.

Caution ahead of this week’s U.S. Federal Reserve meeting, with investors likely to look beyond an expected rate cut
Interest rate futures are fully priced for a quarter-point rate cut from the Fed on Wednesday, with only a small chance of a half-point move.
Gold was little changed on Monday as caution set
in ahead of this week’s U.S. Federal Reserve meeting, with investors
likely to look beyond an expected rate cut to the central bank’s
guidance on monetary policy for the rest of the year.
“A rate cut is entirely priced in while a 50 basis points cut is
extremely unlikely. So guidance becomes absolutely key,†OANDA senior
market analyst Craig Erlam said.
â€(Gold’s movement) will depend
on how dovish or how far ajar Jerome Powell leaves the door on these
rate cuts in the months ahead.â€
For the first time since the
financial crisis, the Fed is expected to trim the key interest rate by
at least 25 basis points (bps) at its July 30-31 meeting. Investors will
also look for signals of likely additional cuts in the pipeline.
“Much will also depend on what Fed Chair Powell says in the subsequent
press conference: if he makes no mention of a cycle of rate cuts,
causing gold to come under pressure, we would not see this as a trend
reversal but as an attractive buying opportunity,†analysts at
Commerzbank said in a note.
Interest rate futures are fully priced
for a quarter-point rate cut from the Fed on Wednesday, with only a
small chance of a half-point move.
Traders
will also keep a close eye on the U.S. and Chinese trade talks in
Shanghai this week, as negotiators from both countries meet for their
first in-person talks since a truce at G20 last month. Expectations are
low for a breakthrough.
On the technical front, $1,400 will be the key downside support for gold, and beyond that, $1,380, OANDA’s Erlam said.
“Bulls are very reluctant to let go just yet, but if we do see those
levels break, we might see gold bulls head for the exits quite quickly.â€
Hedge
funds and money managers reduced their bullish stance in COMEX gold in
the week to July 23, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission
(CFTC) said in a report on Friday.
SPDR Gold Trust, the world’s largest gold-backed exchange-traded fund, said its holdings fell 0.1% to 818.14 tonnes on Friday.
Among other precious metals, silver dipped 0.1% to $16.37 per ounce.
Palladium fell 0.3% to $1,530.38 per ounce, while platinum gained 0.8% to $867.26 per ounce.

Drilling at the C.O.D. North vein – 421m has been drilled in 7 holes
1,965m drilled in 32 holes on the main COD vein – Assays Due
Drill testing “Anomaly” at depths between 500 and 800 metres
The anomaly is interpreted as a pipe-like structure measuring 1834 by 1377m
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / July 24, 2019 / GGX
Gold Corp. (TSX-v: GGX), (OTCQB: GGXXF), (FRA: 3SR2) (the “Company†or
“GGXâ€) provides the following update on its exploration activities at
its Gold Drop property in the Greenwood Mining Camp.
Drilling resumed as of July 16 at the C.O.D. North vein. As of July
22, a total of 421 metres has been drilled in 7 holes on the COD North,
in addition to the total of 1,965 metres drilled in 32 holes on the main
COD vein. An initial batch of samples was submitted for analyses in
late June, but assays have not yet been received.
Preparations are also underway to drill a relatively deep hole on a
geophysical anomaly (refer to news release dated July 4). Drill rods and
bits have been purchased and a night shift drill crew has been
arranged. The drill site has been selected and verified by a
representative for Earth Science Services Corporation of Oshawa, Ontario
(ESSCO). The initial hole is planned to be drilled to test the target
zone at depths between 500 and 800 metres. The anomaly is interpreted as
a pipe-like structure that measures 1834 by 1377 metres.
The Company also announces that it has repriced the flow through
portion of its private placement originally announced on June 18, 2019.
The non brokered private placement will now be an offering of up to
4,000,000 flow through units at a price of Cdn$0.25 per unit for gross
proceeds of $1,000,000. Each flow-through unit will comprise one common
share (which is a flow-through share for Canadian income tax purposes)
and one-half share purchase warrant. Each whole flow-through warrant
will entitle the holder to purchase one additional common share which is
not a flow-through share at the price of $0.35 for 18 months after
closing. The term of the warrants may be accelerated in the event that
the issuer’s shares trade at or above a price of $0.40 cents per share
for a period of 10 consecutive days. In such case of accelerated
warrants, the issuer may give notice, in writing or by way of news
release, to the subscribers that the warrants will expire 20 days from
the date of providing such notice. The proceeds of the private placement
will be used for continued exploration work including diamond drilling
and trenching at the Company’s Gold Drop property near Greenwood in
Southern British Columbia.
The terms of the non-flow through placement remain as announced on June 18, 2019.
A finder’s fee may be paid to eligible finders in accordance to the
TSX-V policies. All securities issued pursuant to the offering will be
subject to a hold period of four months and one day from the date of
closing. The offerings and payment of finders’ fees are both subject to
approval by the TSX-V.
David Martin, P.Geo., a Qualified Person as defined by National
Instrument 43-101 and consultant to the Company, approved the technical
information in this release.

Next level for gold is $1500
Ray Dalio, Billionaire hedge fund manager pro gold
Potential interest rate cuts gold positive
Now that gold has broken through the $1,450 an ounce level, a six-high year high, the next big test is $1,500. And as I’ve said before, it can do this in the blink of an eye under the right conditions.
We may end up seeing those conditions emerge sooner rather than later.
Last Thursday, Federal Reserve Bank of New York President John
Williams seemed to indicate that a rate cut could be expected later this
month, saying that central bankers need to “act quickly†as economic
growth cools. Although he later clarified his comment, claiming he was
simply citing research and not forecasting central bank action, the
price of gold jumped as much as 2 percent on the news before closing
above $1,440 for the first time since May 2013.
Investors took some profits last Friday, knocking the price down
around 1 percent after gold started to look overbought a day earlier.
The metal was up two standard deviations over the past 60 trading days,
its highest level since April 2016. I would consider each pullback such
as this a buying opportunity, though, because I believe the best is yet
to come for the metal.
Gold Price Up Two Standard Deviations
U.S. Global Investors
Ray Dalio seems to agree. In a lengthy post on LinkedIn—Dalio’s
favorite platform for getting the word out—the billionaire hedge fund
manager writes that he thinks we’re on the verge of a new economic
paradigm shift and that central banks’ accommodative policies, from low
rates to quantitative easing (QE), are unsustainable. To hedge against
this, Dalio says, “I believe that it would be both risk-reducing and
return-enhancing to consider adding gold to one’s portfolio.†Most
investors are underweighted in gold, “meaning that if they just wanted
to have a better balanced portfolio to reduce risk, they would have more
of this sort of asset,†he writes.
A Monster Rally for Juniors
Select junior and micro-cap gold and precious metal miners also
posted very strong growth over the past week, mostly on positive
drilling results. In a press release dated July 15, Brixton Metals
announced encouraging results at its wholly owned Thorn
Gold-Copper-Silver Project in British Columbia. Gary Thompson, chairman
and CEO of the Vancouver-based explorer and developer, said that Brixton
“continues to unlock a mountain of value†at the property, which
exhibits even greater mineralization than was previously thought.
Junior Miners Had a Strong Week
U.S. Global Investors
As for silver, I’m pleased to see that it’s finally playing “catch
up†to gold, its price having hit a 52-week high after an incredible six
straight days of gains.
Silver Is Trying to Narrow Its Gap With Gold
U.S. Global Investors
The Bullish Calls on Gold Continue
With gold having already broken out of its five-year trading range, is the best still yet to come?
I believe it is. And I’m not alone. Read what some analysts and strategists have to say:
Alpine Macro
“The Fed is getting ready to cut interest rates, which should set in
motion a multi-year bear market in the dollar,†write analysts at Alpine
Macro in a research note dated June 28. A weaker U.S. dollar is one of
three “key ingredients†for a bull market, according to Alpine Macro,
the other two being a more accommodative Fed and rising geopolitical
risks.
“The technical break above $1,400 an ounce is a positive sign,†the
firm adds. “New all-time highs for gold should be seen in the coming
years.â€
World Gold Council (WGC)
“The prospect of lower interest rates should support gold investment
demand,†the World Gold Council (WGC) says in its mid-year outlook. “Our
research indicates that the gold price was higher in the 12 months
following the end of a tightening cycle. Moreover, historical gold
returns are more than twice their long-term average during periods of
negative real rates—like the one we are likely to see later this year.â€
Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC)
“We continue to see no signs of rate hikes on the horizon over the
next several years, and historically have seen gold continue on an
upward trajectory beyond the last rate cut,†writes CIBC in a note dated
July 14.
The bank points out that in two previous gold bull market cycles—in
the 1970s and 2000s—negative real rates were the main contributing
factor.
“During the last two major periods when real rates stayed below the 2
percent level and actually ticked into negative territory, the gold
price moved over 320 percent in the 1970s… and approximately 400 percent
from 2004 to peak in 2011.â€

Kamloops, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – May 23, 2019) –
Advance Gold Corp. (TSXV: AAX) (“Advance Gold” or “the Company”) is
pleased to provide an update on the recent news that Barrick Gold
Corporation (“Barrick”) has made a takeover offer for Acacia Mining
plc(“Acacia”). The Company has not been contacted by either Barrick or
Acacia concerning the takeover offer and its effect on the Kakamega
joint venture project between Acacia and Advance Gold.
Earlier
this year, new licenses for the joint venture project were issued.
Exploration plans have been made for the upcoming exploration season to
be underway once the rainy season in west Kenya is over.
The joint
venture is owned 85.37% by Acacia and 14.63% by Advance Gold. If during
the joint venture either party decides to sell their interest, the
other party has a first right of refusal on any offering price. If
Advance Gold is diluted down to a 10% interest (approximately $1.7
million in exploration to dilute), then its interest converts to a 3%
uncapped net smelter royalty (NSR). In the event that Advance Gold is
diluted to a NSR, Acacia Mining has no first rights of refusal and the
NSR can be sold directly to any interested party.
Allan Barry Laboucan, President and CEO of Advance Gold Corp. commented: “Advance
Gold is keenly watching recent developments concerning the takeover
offer that Barrick has made for our joint venture partner Acacia Mining
plc. Although Barrick owns a large majority of the shares of Acacia
Mining, it is an independently run public company. We are eager to see
how the takeover proceeds and how it will affect Advance. We are looking
at all our options concerning our Kakamega project.”

In a press
release dated April 24, 2019, Advance announced that it was granting
stock options to its directors, key employees and consultants at an
exercise price of $0.12 per share. The Board of Directors has determined
that it’s in the Company’s best interest to amend the issue price of
these options to $0.065 per share. As per conditions of the Company’s
stock option plan, it will be a term of each stock option agreement that
a mandatory hold period will be imposed upon the sale or disposition of
any shares acquired for four months from the date of the grant of the
stock options.

Fortis Metals,
the world’s leading producer of minor metals, recently forecast a
tellurium supply deficit that, “as of 2020 could be as big as a
staggering 370 metric tonnes.â€
Noting the rapidly-growing use of tellurium for thin-film solar panels, Fortis stated:
“At the moment, we are still seeing (tellurium) inventories in China but these are being eaten away by the two main suppliers of First Solar (the world’s largest thin-film solar manufacturer). It is only a matter of time before the market will understand the new dynamics and prices will start to reflect the growing deficit. We would not be surprised to see prices break the previous record seen in 2011.â€
