After the FED meeting, the gold price was able to gain significantly. Both the lower quoted bond yields and the weakening USD helped the gold price jump. The FED held out the prospect of reducing bond purchases but did not give a fixed date. Global gold demand has brightened significantly compared to previous quarters. Only jewelry demand is well below pre-Corona levels. On the other hand, Central banks have bought three times more gold than usual in the quarter, namely 200 tons. Gold could now soar to new highs.

    Barrick Gold - In a slumber

    Barrick Gold disappointed analysts with its preliminary figures in mid-July, who had expected significantly higher production figures. It produced 1.04 million ounces of gold and 96 million pounds of copper. It didn't help that management still wants to stick to its full-year guidance. Despite a gold price of over USD 1,800, the stock is currently not getting traction.

    The Company is one of the largest gold producers in the world and will benefit from high gold and copper prices. The question is when investors will recognize the value, especially since the Company has not been idle. Last Tuesday, the Company won four exploration licenses in Egypt.

    The stock is currently trying to close the price gap from mid-June. If there is no consolidation there, the high from May at CAD 30.60 should be tested. In case of a setback, the share should not fall below CAD 25.70. Barrick is already worth buying long-term, especially since it also pays a dividend to its shareholders.

    Theta Gold Mines - Exposed before important news

    Theta Gold Mines is an Australian explorer whose gold project is based in South Africa in the Golden Triangle. The area covers more than 62,000 hectares and hosted 43 historic gold mines, resulting in data dating back up to 150 years. 2 open pit mines and 2 shallow underground mines have been identified and will be progressively brought into production. The initial target is 160,000 ounces of gold per year, and the first mine is expected to start production as early as 2022.

    Management has already brought more than 20 resource companies into production, and thus, the Company will benefit from this experience. In total, resources of about 6 million ounces are assumed. The feasibility study assumes a mine life of a good 7.6 years at a cost basis of USD 980 per ounce. That corresponds to an 86% yield at the current gold price of USD 1,829.

    The stock, recently tradable in Frankfurt, is currently suspended from trading. So there is important news about the Company. It will be interesting to see what will be announced. The last price before the suspension was AUD 0.22 and thus significantly lower than the high of this year at AUD 0.40. One should put the title on the watchlist and can position themselves accordingly after the announcement.

    Rio Tinto - Business in China is key to success

    The half-year figures of Rio Tinto were impressive and showed a new record value with USD 12.3 billion profit. Compared to the previous year, profit quadrupled. Sales were increased by 70% to USD 33 billion. The Group owes these results to the global economic recovery. China, in particular, has had a great demand for raw materials. China accounted for 58% of Rio Tinto's sales, followed by North America with 14%.

    The jump in profits was also due to high raw material prices. Iron ore, Rio Tinto's main product with 44% of sales, doubled in price. Whether the production forecasts can be met depends on the one hand on the pandemic and the other hand on the weather, which could have a negative impact on production. Analysts assume that the prices for iron ore will be at a somewhat lower level, so profits are unlikely to be quite so high.

    According to analysts, shareholders can look forward to a high dividend of around EUR 8. At the current share price of EUR 74.50, this corresponds to a dividend yield of over 10%. Since the end of May, the share has been running sideways. It is now at the upper end of the range and could break out to the upside. Dividend hunters can do little wrong here. Those who believe in rising demand for raw materials are also in good hands here.


    Gold will continue to rise in the long term, also due to inflation. When jewelry demand resumes, we can expect demand to increase by 1600 to 2000 tons. Rio Tinto has a very diversified position and offers a high dividend yield. Theta Gold Mines is close to production but is currently suspended, so one should follow the value and the corresponding news closely. A kind of boredom has taken hold at Barrick. Even so, one of the largest gold producers is always worth buying.

    Gold to USD 3,000? Barrick Gold and Desert Gold profit. What is going on at Vonovia?

    • RealEstate
    • Inflation

    Will the price of gold rise to USD 3,000 per ounce before the end of the year? That is what investment professional Leigh Goehring thinks is possible. He is a managing director at Goehring & Rozencwajg, manages a commodity fund, among other things, and expects a "decade of inflation." If the forecast comes true, gold stocks will at least be an attractive portfolio addition. In addition to industry heavyweights like Barrick Gold, explorers can be worthwhile as leverage to the gold price. One such explorer is Desert Gold. The share of the Canadian company reacted yesterday with a price jump of over 10% to a project update. In contrast, the outlook for "concrete gold" remains challenging. Vonovia, for example, was once again downgraded by analysts despite the significant share price losses of recent months. At the same time, there are also positive comments.

    On March 22, all eyes were on the FED decision. Will the balancing act between fighting inflation and stabilizing the banking system succeed? The collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and the difficulties of Credit Suisse have caused plenty of uncertainty. The result has been significant premiums in the price of gold and cryptocurrencies as people try to protect their money. But regardless of the interest rate decision, there is interesting news on companies that have been under pressure recently and are waiting for a turnaround. We take a look at three of those candidates today.

    A new banking crisis in 2023? Deutsche Bank, Blackrock Silver, Commerzbank - Gold and Silver are back!

    Central bankers are currently in a huge dilemma. They should fight the price pressure with a tough interest rate policy and gradual withdrawal of liquidity. However, this increases the existing risk of recession and the danger of a new financial crisis worldwide. In fact, past interest rate restrictions have already left grinding marks in the US banking system because gigantic write-downs on price losses still lie dormant in the books of institutions that had believed in eternally low interest rates. After the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and the forced takeover of Credit Suisse, uncertainty has again taken a stranglehold on the markets. Gold and silver reacted with a giant leap. We look at the current situation.
