Gold at USD 5,200 – Are Mining Stocks Heading for New All-Time Highs? Barrick, Pan American Silver, Endeavour Silver, Newmont & Desert Gold
Gold at USD 5,200 per ounce and mining stocks heading for a new all-time high? Morgan Stanley is supporting this bullish outlook. Despite recent volatility, the US investment bank remains bullish on gold and forecasts a price of USD 5,200 per ounce by the end of 2026. Compared to current levels, this would represent significant upside potential. A German precious metals expert also sees mining stocks reaching new all-time highs. This is likely to apply to Barrick Mining as well. The company has reached an agreement with Newmont, will receive a payment in the billions, and has taken another step toward a potential IPO of its North American gold assets. For Desert Gold, the timing could hardly be better. The company appears to be moving toward gold production just as a new gold rally is getting underway.

US Debt Alarms Bank of America and JPMorgan – Could Desert Gold's Massive Leverage Offer Crisis Protection?
When an economy lives beyond its means, many ultimately pay the price: the currency loses value, the economy suffers, and the stock market becomes more volatile. In the US, the national debt now stands at nearly USD 40 trillion, as Handelsblatt warned in its Wednesday edition. According to the report, the US Treasury is increasingly attempting to address the problem by issuing debt securities with ever-shorter maturities, with all the associated risks. Alarm bells have long been ringing in the financial markets. Those looking to protect their wealth should consider tangible assets. Gold could once again become an attractive option—we present an exciting opportunity and shed light on the current state of the financial system.

A recent escalation of tensions between the US and Iran has fueled geopolitical conflicts and once again brought the gold market into the spotlight.

Investors are primarily asking whether the historic highs recorded in January can be reached again and which companies stand to benefit the most in this volatile situation. A closer analysis of the strategic positioning of Newmont, DRC Gold, and Agnico Eagle could provide some answers.

The Simple Path to Inflation-Protected Cash Flows: Why JPMorgan Chase and Altius Minerals Are Eyeing Globex Mining
Persistent geopolitical uncertainty, rising inflation, and tighter lending standards by commercial banks mean that even the mining sector is no longer operating under ideal conditions. Since missing production targets can trigger significant share price declines, major commodity companies are constantly searching for new deposits. At the same time, rising development costs are making mine operations more expensive, while the US Federal Reserve is adopting a more restrictive stance in light of inflation data. In this market environment, the royalty and streaming model is gaining importance because gross revenue royalties can provide inflation-protected cash flows without direct operational risks. We present a potential beneficiary of this trend and explain how the model works.

Gold Market: Rising Inflation Fears Force Mining Giants Like Barrick Into Acquisitions – S&P Global Provides Tailwind for DRC Gold
An escalating US debt crisis exceeding USD 39 trillion, geopolitical shocks in the Middle East, and a resurgent inflation trend have shaped capital markets in the first half of the year. While more speculative digital assets such as Bitcoin have experienced significant corrections after reaching historic highs, physical gold is increasingly establishing itself as a stable store of value against fiat currency debasement. The precious metal has reached an all-time high of USD 5,589 per ounce and is seeing strong inflows into gold ETFs. This ongoing trend is forcing established mining companies to expand declining resources at existing mines and in surrounding areas. For investors, this environment presents opportunities.

Barrick Gold, Desert Gold Ventures, Newmont - When will the next surge follow?
Gold is shining again. After reaching a new all-time high, the crisis and inflation hedge is back in the mainstream. While there has been little to read about the yellow precious metal in the newspapers in recent weeks, gold articles are currently among the most visited. During the initial impulse of the recent rise, mining stocks lagged significantly. However, if the positive trend continues, they could make up for this with disproportionately high price gains.

Make a return instead of sitting on the sidelines! Nel ASA, Desert Gold or Nikola Motors - Who belongs on the buy list?
Despite the bull market, the hydrogen sector is feeling the global investment slump, not to mention precious metals. Once again, the US Federal Reserve has issued warnings on the inflation front, but this time, after 11 consecutive hikes, it has not turned the interest rate screw. The refinancing rate remains at 5.5%, but the accompanying wording has greatly unsettled the markets. Capital market rates shot up, reaching a whopping 4.55% for 30-year US Treasury bonds - the highest level in 10 years. We take a look at values that have fallen sharply. Where can adequate yields be expected?

Impending financial crisis 3.0 boosts gold: Desert Gold Ventures, Deutsche Bank, Allianz - This is where the music plays!
And another double interest rate hike. First the FED, now the ECB followed suit last week, as expected. Monetary policy is trying a dangerous balancing act, as the US banking sector is tottering, and at the same time, inflation rates remain high. Now lavish wage settlements are added to the mix, and the second-round effects are on. The aggressive interest rate hikes and the collapsing real estate market have been among the factors causing stress in the banking sector. Profiteers are few and far between at the moment, but precious metals are back on the buy list. What about the prominence of the German financial industry?

BP, Saturn Oil + Gas, Shell - Oil shares against inflationary pressure
The oil price has been rising for about a month. The trigger was the decision of OPEC+ to cut its production by 1 million barrels per day. The demand for oil is increasing in China as the lockdown measures are being eased and the economy is gaining momentum. In addition, US inventories continue to decline. The International Energy Agency (IEA) projects record demand in 2023, with demand rising by 2 million barrels per day year-on-year while supply falls by 400,000 barrels. As a result, oil prices could reignite inflation. Investors who want to protect themselves against this could invest in oil stocks. We, therefore, take a look at 3 oil companies.

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