First things first, let’s just make a brief mention about Aussie gold.
Our Aussie-gold-wearing ODI team, that is, which scraped (well surged, really, with eight wins on the trot) into yet another World Cup final in the wee hours this morning.
India is absolutely the team to beat, etc, but could be quietly bricking it having to face the most successful World Cup cricketing nation of all time.
But enough from CricketHead. Speaking of bricking it, then, where are things at with gold prices compared with this about time last week?
Actually not too bad.
In dipping US dollars, gold is trading, at time of writing, for a healthy $1,989 an ounce. (In Aussie dollars, it’s changing hands for about $3,076 per oz.)
Meanwhile, as reported in Ground Breakers earlier: the ASX gold sub-index was up 2.6% in early trade to take the materials sector to 0.3% gain before lunch on Friday.
Analysts, such as Kitco’s Jim Wyckoff, are putting the reasonably good performance this week (after a lacklustre one last week) down to the tamer US inflation data that fed the Fed a few days ago.
The US dollar dipped this week, along with Treasury yields, after US weekly jobless claims increased more than expected. Consequently, expectations are still high that the US Federal Reserve will continue the pause in its interest-rate hiking cycle. Or better still, sit on something and pivot.
We are in a new Daily Cycle, 2nd in this Investor Cycle. Options Exp tomorrow-so I am expecting more meaningful advances next wk.
Fed pivot, advancing TLT, USD rolling over. All fundamentals you care to throw at it.
The USD 3 yr cycle low is going to suck the price down hard. pic.twitter.com/IMWro8Obf4

We know central bankers the world over are hot and heavy for gold this year, buying up in bulk – (particularly the People’s Bank of China), but big private banking entities are also on the gold-plated bandwagon. In least in terms of forecasting.
This week, ANZ released its latest precious metals report – ‘The Vault’ – citing various reasons to stay strong on the yellow metal.
Not to be a doom-mongerer or anything, but the bank notes that geopolitical tension will “protect the downside in gold prices”.
“Renewed geopolitical tensions will protect the downside in Gold prices. This is in addition to the conclusion of the US monetary tightening cycle and an imminent peak in the US Dollar.
“We expect central bank Gold purchases to remain strong.”
And the bank has upgraded its gold demand estimates for 2023 and 2024, as follows:
“Based on current pace of purchase, we upgrade our demand estimates to 1,050t from 750t for 2023 and 800t for 2024.”
ANZ also notes that central banks in emerging markets are also positioning themselves against rising debt levels in reserve currency economies (such as the US, Europe and Japan) as this increases the credit risk.
“US debt levels, for example, have increased 46% to 33trn since 2020, leaving credit risk high for US assets. This pattern is likely to continue as debt levels increase.”
And, citing the recent US labour data, the bank suggests it’s in line with the Fed’s softening stance on interest rates and potentially being on track to reach its 2% inflation target:
“US ISM Services PMI data confirm that underlying demand in the US is softening. This builds a case for declining UST yields and a moderating DXY, which is supportive for gold investment demand.”
Meanwhile, strategists at major, French-based multinational bank Société Générale (per FXStreet) also see more gains for gold from here and into next year.
They, similar to ANZ, cite interest rates peaking, US recession, unstable geopolitics and central bank buying as chief reasons to go for gold:
“US rates can come off more and sooner than rates in other OECD economies, signalling possible dollar weakness ahead, creating a tailwind for gold,” said SocGen, adding:
“With a recession in the US looming – however mild – there is a risk that the Fed will have to start lowering rates before sticky inflation budges, lowering carrying costs and elevating the expected return for gold.”
And, as Josh also notes in Ground Breakers, SocGen has also tipped prices rising to US$2,200/oz from the second quarter of next year after lower than expected US inflation data brought prices back into positive territory this week.
Meanwhile, this caught our eyes, too…
"The investment fund, which is famous for successfully shorting Lehman Brothers in the runup to the 2008 crash, now has a bigger stake in the SPDR Gold Trust than at any prior point, as gold prices have again started to rally in recent months…"

A resource upgrade at Turnberry is on the cards as Meeka Metals looks to accelerate development of its Murchison gold project through toll milling of higher-grade starter pits.
Based on a +1.2Moz resource across several deposits in the Murchison goldfields, including the high-grade Turnberry open pits, Meeka Metals could produce 663,000oz gold over an initial 9.3 years, according to the feasibility study published in July.

TechGen is currently in a trading halt due to capital raising. Expect an announcement early next week.
It’s done well again this week on the back of a stonking one last week, when it dropped an update on its projects.
Those include stage three drilling approval for its John Bull Gold Project and pegmatite mapping to kick off at Ida Valley with historic data identifying lithium and caesiumin soils up to 144.5ppm Li (311ppm Li2O) along the Ida Fault.
KGD brought home a 141% price hike this week thanks to a two-fisted clutch of white-gold (lithium)-based announcements that set the market alight.
And those were: confirmation that the drills are set to spin at the company’s “substantial” Cobra Lithium Prospect in WA next week – and that the drilling operation is ready-funded, thanks to a handsome $650,000 boost from a placement of shares at the issue price of $0.013 a pop.

Cooper Metals was a standout performer this week on the back of positive assay results from its Brumby Ridge and Raven copper-gold prospects at its Mt Isa East project in northwest Queensland.
Recapping:
The assay highlight in chief came from the initial RC drill hole 23MERC024 at Brumby, which saw an interception of 50m at 1.32% Cu from 80m including 2m at 6.1% Cu and 0.23g/t Au.
Drilling at Brumby Ridge also intercepted 72m at 1.5% Cu from 113m to end of hole, and mineralisation at the prospect is open in all directions, appearing to be improving with depth.
At Raven, meanwhile, the stats include: 15m at 1.0% Cu and 0.1 g/t Au from 35m within a wider intercept of 28m at 0.63% Cu & 0.061 g/t Au from 34m.
Further assay results from both prospects are due in December.
Brightstar Resources (ASX:BTR)
Emerging gold developer Brightstar Resources will assess whether its newly-declared maiden resource at Link Zone can be fast-tracked into production.
The company is well along the path to becoming a profitable gold miner in the Leonora-Laverton district of WA, cornerstoned by a mothballed processing plant and a +1Moz and growing resource inventory.
Meanwhile, the company is expecting imminent cashflow via mining joint venture currently under way at Selkirk and, potentially, a low cost mining start-up at the Link Zone, which is comprised of three deposits sitting between the Lady Shenton and Lady Harriet deposits at its Menzies Gold Project.

Spartan Resources has received firm commitments to raise A$25 million via a placement at A$0.40 per share to pursue a rapid pathway back to production at its Dalgaranga gold project in WA.
Dalgaranga produced over 70,000oz of gold in FY2022 before being placed on care and maintenance in November 2022 to implement an operational reset, designed to preserve the value of its extensive infrastructure and resource base while developing a new, sustainable operating plan.
