As the European Central Bank raised its interest rate by 50 basis points on July 21 in line with the U.S. Fed and the Bank of England, the price of gold in the London Bullion Market Association fell to USD 1,700 per ounce. Recession danger is rising as more rate increases are anticipated. Changing consumer and equity market conditions are reflected in declining physical and exchange-traded fund demand for gold. Desert Gold Ventures CEO Jared Scharf explains us his view.

    In the current rising inflation, what advantage can Desert Gold Ventures offer its investors and what is the distinguishing factors that separate the company from its peers?

    'Traditionally gold has performed as a hedge against inflation but also as a safe haven during times on extreme market volatility and uncertainty like we are in today. Generally speaking, gold equities like Desert Gold are a proxy to the gold price and react exponentially both to the upside and downside.

    If you think we are at or near a bottom in gold now is the time to seriously look at investments in gold equities. Desert Gold’s stands out from its peers due to our regional SMSZ Project 440km2 land package. From an investment perspective we are trading at a deep discount to our peers from a market/oz gold basis.

    Also, if you look at the way we spend our investors dollars, Desert Gold has by far one of the lowest, if not the lowest, discovery cost per oz gold.'
    Jared Scharf, CEO, Desert Gold Ventures Inc.

    Will Trump's tariffs be stopped by the courts? Gold and silver on the rise – Deutz, Desert Gold, Renk, and Hensoldt in focus

    A US appeals court has declared most of Trump's tariffs unlawful under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) of 1977. This law allows the president to take economic measures against foreign countries in the event of a declared national emergency. However, no such national emergency currently exists. Instead, the US economy is growing at a moderate pace, while benefiting from the energy supply emergencies in Europe and further defense support for Ukraine. The US is no longer simply giving these goods away; instead, it now provides loans or sells them to allied countries. This creates significant uncertainty in the markets, which in turn is fueling defense stocks as well as gold and silver. New highs were reached at USD 3,640 for gold and USD 41.5 for silver. Where do the opportunities lie for investors?

    Gold and defense stocks are unstoppable! Barrick Mining, Deutz, Dryden Gold

    • Defense

    Gold and defense stocks are currently dominating the markets. The price of gold has reached a new record high of over USD 3,600 per troy ounce, and experts are forecasting prices of up to USD 5,000. Barrick Mining is finally benefiting from this. The investor favorite has jumped and gained 50%. Newmont has performed even better. Investors are now betting on successful explorers like Dryden Gold. The Canadians are reporting strong drilling results, and analysts see considerable potential. The latest "gap drilling" also highlights that the Gold Rock project could develop into a large-volume deposit. Only defense stocks can almost keep up with the performance of gold. Deutz surprised investors with a takeover in the drone sector and is trading at its highest level since 2007. Analysts praise the move, and the chances of inclusion in the MDAX are increasing.

    Two forces are currently driving global financial markets. On the one hand, there is the US Federal Reserve's monetary policy turnaround and on the other, China's restrictions on commodity exports. This dynamic is driving volatility and creating unique opportunities in the commodities and finance sectors. Against this backdrop, it is worth taking a look at three companies. We examine Deutsche Bank, which is excelling in its home market, Globex Mining with its huge commodities portfolio, and industry leader Barrick Mining, which is benefiting from historically high precious metal prices.
