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.

    From Nuggets to Networks: How Lahontan Gold, Siemens, and Allianz Are Redefining the Precious Metal's Value Chain

    Gold remains in demand over the long term, but could face pressure from interest rates in the short term. Market participants are increasingly anticipating a US interest rate hike in September. While high energy prices are weighing on the market, geopolitical crises, a weak US dollar, spiraling government debt, and record-high central bank purchases are acting as strong counterbalances. Accordingly, analysts see significant upside potential for the precious metal through 2027. To maximize returns from the next medium-term upswing, investors should take a broader view of the "ecosystem". Lahontan Gold, in particular, stands out positively here. The Canadian company is consistently driving its transformation from an explorer to a gold producer in Nevada. This transformation phase for emerging commodity producers typically involves numerous milestones that drive higher corporate valuation. Siemens provides the automation and digitalization needed for efficient mining, thereby covering another angle. Allianz and its industry partners provide investors with strategic access to physical gold and mining stocks through asset management. Which stock will outperform gold?

    How will investors allocate their capital in 2026 among the most important stores of value of our time? First, there is digital gold, Bitcoin, which cannot be mined indefinitely. Then there is physical gold from the earth, which has long been regarded as a safe haven and whose price, like Bitcoin's, has recently climbed significantly again. Finally, there is black gold, oil, which has once again come into focus, most recently since the Iran conflict. Investors who are thinking strategically today should not put all their eggs in one basket, but instead diversify. We take a closer look at one company from each sector: Strategy, Desert Gold, and ExxonMobil.

    When the gold price breaks through the USD 4,000-per-ounce mark, the stocks of the mining giants once again become attractive to many investors. But even the shares of the largest mining companies are not without risks. A gold mine is a dwindling resource: every ounce mined reduces reserves. While Barrick Mining and Newmont are currently generating very strong profits, they too face challenges. Securing a steady supply of new resources is becoming increasingly difficult. This is where agile exploration companies come in, targeting tomorrow's gold reserves with smart exploration methods.
