Focus on gold

It is the latest US labor market report that has raised hopes of a rate cut in the US in September. The unemployment rate has risen and is the highest it has been since the end of 2021. Two interest rate cuts are currently expected this year. Falling interest rates are in turn good for higher gold prices. Whether we see the rate cut in September or not until November or December, it will come. Of course, the delay in the rate cut so far is disappointing, as an earlier date had been expected at the beginning of the year.

But even if prices continue to move sideways for a while, there is still a good time to enter the gold market. This is because gold mining shares will follow suit when prices rise. And that is what investors are waiting for. After all, many gold mining stocks have not yet really jumped on the higher gold prices. However, when gold mining share prices rise, they usually do so quite suddenly and quite strongly. Looking at recent easing cycles, lower interest rates have led to a sharp rise in the value of gold stocks. Central banks have been the main buyers of gold recently. The reason is that they want to build up long-term positions away from the US dollar.

Metals Focus, for example, assumes that central bank purchases will remain high, similar to 2023. The geopolitical crises continue to exist and so the move away from the US dollar and the desire for further diversification will remain on the central banks‘ radar.
