Barrick Gold, Manuka Resources, Newmont - Has the bottom been reached?
After the Federal Reserve once again raised the key interest rate with a big step of 0.75 points to a range of 3.75% to 4.00%, the pace is now likely to slow down step by step. In the process, voices are growing louder, calling for a departure from the strict monetary policy. In the course of this, precious metal prices reacted and distanced themselves significantly from their lows for the year. The signs are pointing to easing. At least in the short term, gold and silver should be ripe for a pronounced countermovement.

First Majestic, Manuka Resources, Barrick Gold - Has the bottom been reached?
Fighting inflation at all costs is the motto of the various central bank members in the US at the moment. Despite recession worries in the financial markets, the FED is determined to curb inflation with a tight interest rate policy. The fact that this has already gotten out of hand and is difficult to contain by further interest rate steps without driving the economy to ruin should be obvious, not only to economists. The first voices calling for an end to interest rate hikes are already being heard. This could mean the starting signal for a sustained upward wave of the precious metals.

Barrick Gold, Tocvan Ventures, Newmont, Glencore - Long-term positioning in gold makes sense
The FED's recent interest rate hikes and Chairman Jerome Powell's statement sent both equity and precious metals markets into the valley of tears. By all means, the monetary guardians want to curb rampant inflation. Whether this will succeed seems at least questionable. After all, it should not be forgotten that this would put an end to the already sputtering engine of the global economy. In addition, many already highly indebted countries are falling into ever greater problems due to higher interest payments. Thus, it is time to take a long-term, anticyclical position in the precious metals sector.

Barrick Gold, Desert Gold, Newmont - Eyes are on the FED
On Wednesday, September 21, the FED is expected to raise interest rates again. After the poor inflation rates in the past week, the fear of a large interest rate step of 100 basis points is going around. The indices reacted immediately and priced in the possible rate hike. So did the gold price, which has been suffering from rising interest rates and the strong dollar for weeks anyway. It does not help that gold has long been considered a hedge against inflation. The precious metal cannot currently take on this function, but that could change if the expectation of Stanley Druckenmiller, a billionaire and former hedge fund manager, is correct that the stock markets will hardly yield any returns in the next 10 years. So today, we look at three gold companies.

Barrick Gold, Desert Gold, MicroStrategy - Catch a falling knife!
The recently published inflation data from the US sent not only the stock markets into the basement. Even the oil price, which has been bullish of late, went down. Precious metals, as well as cryptocurrencies, suffered the most from the inflation shock. With the US Federal Reserve meeting next week and the expectation of a significant interest rate step, new lows for the year could be marked for these two assets in particular, and a further sell-off could occur. However, it seems unlikely that further major interest rate hikes will take place in the medium term, as this would tend to favor a hard landing of the global economy. Thus, with an anti-cyclical entry, the chances of long-term price gains increase.

Barrick Gold, Barsele Minerals, Nordex - This will now be important
The strong US dollar, rising US yields and increasing fears of further major interest rate hikes are weighing on the precious metals markets. In this context, the precious yellow metal is facing an important test. Thus, the USD 1,680.59 per troy ounce gold mark is a prominent support level. If the low for the year is broken, there is a threat of a further drop to the region around USD 1,620 per ounce. In the long term, this level should serve as an entry level because containment of inflation through further interest rate steps can hardly be assumed in the current situation. This results in timely anticyclical entry opportunities in selected producers and exploration companies.

Commodity shares K+S, Barrick Gold, Manuka Resources: Gold price at 50,000?
The price of a troy ounce of gold rises to USD 50,000. This scenario is probably the dream of every gold bull and also for companies like Barrick Gold and Manuka Resources. John Butler has proclaimed this price target. The Head of Treasury of TallyMoney and author of The Golden Revolution has described the scenario to reach this price target in an interview. The prerequisite is that the world moves to a gold standard monetary system. And this is not as unlikely as one might think because the economic dominance of the USA has been declining for years, and the BRICS countries are reportedly already working on a reserve currency. K+S is also currently under pressure. Price targets of analysts differ significantly.

Electricity price brake and "Lehman Moment" - Barrick Gold, MAS Gold, Standard Lithium
The German government plans to spend around EUR 65 billion on the third energy aid package. But how big the total package will end up being is unclear. Above all, the intervention in the electricity market is "incalculable," according to economist Michael Hüther. Will this result in a new "Lehman moment"? We focus on the risks of the aid package and shed light on how investors can respond.

Precious metals producer Manuka Resources facing transformation, what are Barrick Gold and Newmont doing?
The precious metals gold and silver were able to start a rally with the beginning of the Ukraine crisis. With high inflation rates, gold was supposed to be the safe haven, but the strength of the US dollar and interest rate hikes pushed the gold price back down. Additionally, according to Wirtschaftswoche, Ukraine sold USD 12.4 billion worth of gold, more than the country officially owned. However, since gold bounced up at the important USD 1,680 level and was also able to break the downtrend line, now might be the time for gold. Today we look at the two big players, as well as an emerging precious metals producer.

Profit opportunities with Bed Bath + Beyond, Desert Gold Ventures, Barrick Gold
Analysts see gold prices rising as more geopolitical conflicts escalate. Whether it is Ukraine or Taiwan, investors are shying away from risk and taking refuge in the precious metal. The FED will likely continue to take massive action against high inflation, which can weaken the gold price in phases. Alternatively, investments in explorers like Desert Gold may pay off after intense scrutiny. Initial results from exploration areas in Mali are proving successful. Top dog Barrick Gold is struggling with slight setbacks and is expanding its market position through cooperations. A real gold rush is also currently occurring in the meme shares. AMC and GameStop have a new colleague: Bed, Bath & Beyond. Countless small investors are conspiring on online forums for the perfect timing to buy the stock, pumping up the price. Since July, the furniture retailer's share price has risen 400%. Behind it all is a Canadian mind with a big plan...
