On Stockhead today, There’s a reason our investment bank of the week is called Goldman Sachs.
The gold team at GS just put out some rather toppy forecasts for 2024 gold prices and beyond and has pegged ASX diggers, Evolution, Regis Resources and Gold Road Resources as standouts.
The call is beyond US$2130/oz in 2024 according to our Josh Chiat, who says ‘easing inflationary pressures and improved hedge books could see margins in the ASX gold sector lift $300/oz by 2025.’
Josh has the story, while Bevis outs the ASX players stepping on the gas, and Reubs runs the ruler over the resources companies that won June.
But first, the day ahead.

Some standouts:

RightCrowd (ASX:RCW): +175% > on the proposal from the firm of a divestment of its physical security businesses for $13.5 million and “repositions into the identity and cyber security markets”.
Atomo Diagnostics (ASX:AT1): +122% > on a price movement clarification that wasn’t super clear… “Atomo advises that it is not aware of any information that has not been announced to the market which, if by known by some in the market, could explain the recent trading in its securities.”
That said… Atomo’s share price is likely up a la Lumos Diagnostics (ASX:LDX) (see Monday). This on Tuesday from Atomo:
“Atomo’s partner, Lumos Diagnostics announced to the market that it has received US FDA approval for its FebriDx test, which utilises Atomo’s user friendly integrated Pascal test platform, making Atomo a critical supplier to Lumos for this approved product.”
So there’s that.
