• Gold priced in Aussie dollars has hit its all-time high, soaring to $3,130/oz
  • Amid escalating conflict in the Middle East, not to mention ongoing war in Ukraine, financial analysts see gold trending up
  • JP Morgan says it’s allocating to the precious metal

 

For the second week running, gold has seen its time-honoured ‘flight to safety’ narrative come to the fore amid increasingly dire conflict in the Middle East.

Rounding out the week, at the time of writing, spot gold is changing hands for US$1,977, and just about $3,130 of our Aussie dollars – an all time high for bullion Down Under.

The new Aussie high beats the old record of $3073/oz set only about a week ago, on October 13.

Gold prices are now up about 3.3% over the past week, +7.3% year to date and roughly +20% over the past 12 months. US gold futures have also gained a bit more than 1% over the past week.

The latest surge in the yellow metal came amid/after the bombing of a Gaza hospital this week, which reportedly killed about 500 people and has seen both sides of the conflict apportioning blame for the attack.

Meanwhile, markets have also been digesting the latest noise from the Fed, specifically its chief Jerome Powell who spoke last night (AEDT) signalling no likely change to interest rates for November but leaving the door ajar for a potential hike in December.

Either way, plenty of gold-watching analysts are reasonably positive on the metal for now.

 

Gold to hit US$2,000 next, believe analysts

“Elevated risks in the Middle East are prompting safe-haven demand for gold, [and] the technical also has improved,” said Jim Wyckoff, senior analyst at Kitco Metals, in conversation with Reuters this week.

“I think gold will push above $2,000 in the near term,” he added, caveating:

“Gold will pull back if the Middle East situation simmers down, but right now the market place is expecting a further escalation.”

US$2k is a figure Sprott Asset Management’s Ryan McIntyre agrees with, though, as a short-term target.

“Gold could breach $2,000 in the near-term if there is an escalation of geopolitical conflict,” noted the financial analyst.

“Additionally, having the Fed pause rate increases or hint at a lower probability of increases in the future would be viewed positively,” he added.

On the more cautious side of the ledger, meanwhile, there’s City Index market analyst Fawad Razaqzada, who said in a note that with the dollar maintaining its bullish trend and bond yields on the rise again, it’s not going to take much to slam gold back down.

Walsh Trading’s Sean Lusk, however, told Kitco News that under current conditions, he expects gold prices to keep rising regardless of what bond yields do. He also sees the narrative around oil providing bullion with a boost.

Fears for oil and gas supplies as well as political uncertainty in the Middle East are growing by the day.

As Kitco notes:

Oil has also gone on a tear since the conflict began, with WTI crude rising from $81 per barrel on the day of the Hamas attacks to over $89 today, and Brent crude going from $83 to $92 at last trade.

Lusk calls all the contributing factors right now (world conflicts, US debt ceiling concerns again, as-yet-untamed inflation and more) a “perfect storm for precious metals or safer havens”.

“We saw the run last week up to 1946, market backed off, down 25 bucks, then made new highs. So in that vein, this is bullish. It’s going to be close to $2,100, that’s where I can see this going,” added the analyst.

 

JP Morgan is buying

What’s the old Monopoly man company got to say, though? Aside from “Head straight to Go and collect $200”, some quite interesting things as it turns out.

In investment banking giant JP Morgan’s latest Global Markets Strategy report, chief market strategist Marko Kolanovic suggested the bank is cautious on equities “as long as interest rates remain deeply restrictive, valuations expensive, and the overhang of geopolitical risks persists”.

(They’re more bullish on equities broadly over the longer term, though – read here.)

That said, Kolanovic noted that the investment banking titan is currently putting more into bonds and commodities, and gold in particular.

“While it remains uncertain whether bonds have bottomed, we add back 1% to our government bond allocation given geopolitical risk, cheap valuations, and less pronounced positioning,” he said.

“We additionally increase our allocation within commodities to gold, both as a geopolitical hedge, and given an expected retracement in real bond yields.”

JP Morgan’s report projected spot gold prices to average around $1,920 per ounce in Q4 2023. Their quarter-by-quarter projections for 2024 are $1,950 in Q1, $2,030 in Q2, $2,100 in Q3, and $2,175 by Q4.

If things continue in the current vein, however, those figures from old JP might need a revision.

Who else is turning heads? 

Felix Gold (ASX:FXG) has uncovered high-grade, near-surface antimony at the NW Array prospect within its Treasure Creek project in Alaska, opening alternative commercialisation opportunities.

Per our special report:

The company’s 400sqkm Treasure Creek project lies in the Fairbanks gold mining district in the Tintina gold province of Alaska, a province boasting 100 years of gold production.

FXG’s ground, sandwiched between Kinross’ 11.8Moz Fort Knox mine (19km away) and Freegold Ventures’ 19.7Moz Golden Summit Project (18km away), returned a substantial discovery at the NW Array in 2022 as well as several other potential gold systems.

Latest drilling results from eight holes at the NW Array prospect have further confirmed the antimony opportunity at Treasure Creek with near surface results, including:

  • 1.5m at 26% antimony from 22.86m, and 16.76m at 1.91% antimony from 51.82m;
  • 6.1m at 13% antimony from 30.48m; and
  • 6.1m at 7.96m antimony from 3.05m, including 1.52m at 28% antimony from 6.10m.

Antimony is emerging as a critical strategic metal in the US due to its significance in the production of military equipment.

Narratives, timing and sentiment – as important as they ever were.
