The global economy is facing major challenges as the outbreak of the current corona virus disrupts supply chains in manufacturing and causes a collapse in demand for many products and services. Stock market professionals are reminded of 2008, when the US bank Lehman Brothers went bankrupt in the context of the subprime crisis and Hypo Real Estate in Germany had to be state-owned in order to avert the total collapse of the global economy.

    The opportunity of gold stocks in 2020

    In 2008, when investors around the world panicked and sent stock markets into a downward spiral, they also temporarily pulled out of gold company stocks. As a result, the share prices of the major gold companies also went into decline. Compared to other industries, however, share prices of the well-known companies working with gold recovered quickly. In 2020 everything is a little different, as the value of most gold companies has been trading at a low level for several years.

    The price of the precious metal increased

    In connection with the current corona crisis, there has so far been no significant price capers among the large gold companies. The price of a troy ounce of gold has risen since last summer from under USD 1,300.00 by more than 30% to now almost USD 1,700.00. Based on this situation, it can be assumed that shares of gold companies will be able to continue to trade at a stable price of the precious metal. The large companies such as Kinross Gold with a market value of CAD 9.3 billion and Yamana Gold with a market value of CAD 5.4 billion are much demanded by investors.

    Triumph Gold as takeover target

    Investors wishing to enter the market at an earlier stage of value creation usually invest in exploration companies. The Canadian company Triumph Gold explores and develops its own properties in the Yukon. The company already has Newmont on board as a major shareholder with a 9% stake. The exit strategy of investors in Explorer is usually a takeover by a producer - as soon as enough data on gold reserves is available. Triumph Gold's share price is still at a low level, but this also represents an opportunity. The company's most recent market value was CAD 19.0 million.

    Commodity Shortages Everywhere: Opportunities at B2Gold, Strategic Resources, and Lynas Rare Earths

    Just recently, S&P Global caused a stir with a study on the copper market. The study found that no major copper deposits have been discovered in years. But it is not just the shortage of the reddish-brown metal that is driving prices up. Copper reached a new all-time high this week on the London Metal Exchange (LME). Similarly, little has been invested, and continues to be invested, in the exploration of new gold deposits, compared to the days of significantly lower gold prices a few years ago. Here, too, limited supply is meeting strong demand from investors and central banks (flight from the dollar). In the case of specialty metals such as rare earths or the important coal market, the situation is shaped by geopolitics. China dominates most markets, while the US is trying to build its own supply chains. This is creating excitement in the stock market and opening up opportunities for investors. That is why today we are taking a closer look at B2Gold, Strategic Resources, and Lynas Rare Earths.

    The Chinese conglomerate Xiaomi is launching a major offensive with new foldable smartphones and electric vehicles, yet its share price remains under pressure. Meanwhile, the Kiel-based defence specialist TKMS is seeing a noticeable pullback after reaching an all-time high last August. Is the sell-off in the defence stock merely a healthy breather, or is a deeper correction on the horizon? Beyond these two companies, a smaller stock in the commodities sector could attract even more attention, as Lahontan Gold appears poised for a technical breakout after a prolonged consolidation phase. Backed by solid metrics from its initial PEA, the stock is now experiencing a dynamic upward trend. We take a closer look at all three stocks and highlight which one could potentially have the edge as a portfolio holding.

    Desert Gold, Barrick Mining and Newmont – Three Gold Stocks Poised for the Next Rally

    Gold is back above the USD 4,400 mark. After the precious metal briefly traded below USD 4,000 per ounce at the end of June, it has staged a strong recovery. Although US interest-rate expectations continue to create headwinds, the current price level is enough for many gold companies to generate substantial profits. Things get particularly exciting when a company's growth driver complements the gold market tailwind. Desert Gold is working toward the start of production, Barrick is preparing for an IPO, and Newmont is turning high selling prices into billions in profits. Three stocks for the next gold boom—each with very different starting points.
