Gold hovers around $US1,7770/oz, awaits JPow’s Jhole speech

Gold got a small boost this week to ~$US1,770/oz as the US dollar softened ahead of Fed Chair Powell’s speech at Jackson Hole, which could give guidance on future interest rate hikes. ​

Higher interest rates increase the opportunity cost of holding gold, which is non-yielding, while boosting the dollar.

“Another round of US economic data and Fed speak supported the idea that the Fed will remain aggressive tightening policy until inflation is under control,” ​OANDA’s Edward Moya says.

“Investors want to see if Fed Chair Powell locks the Fed in for another massive 75 basis point rate increase in September, but he will likely stick to the data-dependency script and leave it up to the September 13th inflation report.”

Gold will likely consolidate between the $US1750 to $US1780 zone leading up to Fed Chair Powell’s speech, Moya says, due at 1400 GMT today.

Weekly Small Cap Standouts

It’s amazing how rapidly sentiment can change.

Two years ago, gold was hot and you couldn’t give a lithium project away. Now it’s quite the opposite.

Nearly every junior exploration stock in our top 10 this week – White Cliff, Metalicity, Arcadia, Cygnus, Red Dirt, and Riversgold – have dumped precious metals for lithium.

Good on them. Makes writing this column a bit harder, but.

Still, there are those gold stocks receiving some love from investors, starting with …

 

BESRA GOLD (ASX:BEZ)

Can you believe BEZ’s 3.3Moz ‘Bau’ gold project in Malaysia also includes an additional 4.9Moz – 9.3Moz exploration target? The stock is capped at just $6m.

Eight holes have now been successfully completed at the ‘Jugan’ prospect, with assay results including thick hits like 64m at 1.9g/t and 67m at 1.8g/t from about 140m depth.

Drilling then moved to the 644,000oz ‘Bekajang’ prospect to grow the resource. That drilling has already uncovered two new deeper gold targets.

Assay results are pending.

 

ALDERAN RESOURCES (ASX:AL8)

AL8 has just completed a 22-hole drilling program at the Mizpah oxide gold deposit in Utah, US.

The company is verifying historical holes at Mizpah, which was drilled in the 1980’s but never developed into a mining operation.

There are multiple historical (1984-89) shallow high-grade intersections including 10.7m at 2.2g/t gold from surface.

Mizpah is 2km from the historical Drum gold mine which produced 125,000oz at 1.2g/t gold (1984-89) in the same rock units.

Promising stuff.

Mizpah gold assays are expected early in Q4, the company says.
