Gold Falls for the Fifth Consecutive Trading Session

By RoboForex Analytical Department 

On Thursday, the price of a troy ounce of Gold is lower, approaching 2,560.00 USD.

The current value of Gold is at an eight-week low, influenced by the strong US dollar. The market analyses the latest inflation statistics released in the US and draws rather ambitious conclusions.

The inflation statistics came out within expectations. The only thing that might have hurt investors’ attention was the three-month inflation numbers, which rose on a year-on-year basis. Even so, the CPI data increases the likelihood of the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates in December. The odds of a rate cut are around 80%, up from less than 60% a couple of days ago.

Since last Friday’s sell-off, the gold price has fallen by 4%. The stock exchange opinion is as follows: since Donald Trump will become the new US President, the Fed will be forced to stop the easing cycle sooner or later. This is due to the protectionist policies that Trump and his administration usually pursue, which can stoke inflation.

A strong US dollar will visibly weigh on the value of Gold and force the precious metal to retreat.

Technical analysis of XAUUSD

On the H4 chart of XAUUSD, the market has formed a consolidation range around the level of 2,608.00 and, with a downside exit, continues the development of the second half of the third wave of the trend to the level of 2511.65. After working off this level, we will consider the probability of the beginning of the correction wave to the level of 2,608.00 (test from below). After the correction is completed, we expect a new wave of decline to 2,430.00. Technically, this scenario is confirmed by the MACD indicator. Its signal line is under the zero level and is directed downwards.

On the H1 chart of XAUUSD, the market broke through the level of 2,590.00 downwards and reached 2,560.00. We expect the development of a compact consolidation range around this level. A correction link to 2,577.00 is possible in case of an upward exit. Conversely, in case of a downward exit, we will consider the continuation of the wave to the local target of 2,511.65. Technically, this scenario is confirmed by the Stochastic oscillator. Its signal line is under 50 and is directed downwards to 20.

Expert Says Secondary Metals Will Star in New Bull Market

Source: Streetwise Reports (10/30/24)

Bob Moriarty of 321gold sat down with Francis Hunt of The Market Sniper recently to discuss the state of the commodities markets and the recent meeting of the BRICS nations in Russia. Find out why he thinks the bulls will be running for more than just gold. 

Major periods of rising gold prices since 1971 have included the 1970s and the 2000s. Many experts believe we’ve started a new period of such expansion now.

Spot prices touched a new record of US$2,769.02 per ounce on Tuesday “as the run-up to the 2024 presidential election and uncertainty prior to upcoming economic data kept safe haven demand in play,” Investing.com reported.

Bob Moriarty of 321gold sat down with Francis Hunt of The Market Sniper recently to discuss the state of the commodities markets and the recent meeting of the BRICS nations in Russia.

He told Hunt that the most important mechanism in determining their prices is not the textbook answer you’ve always been given.

“Ignore demand, ignore supply, ignore the value of the dollar, ignore the geopolitical, none of those make any difference whatsoever,” Moriarty said in the interview, posted on YouTube. “The only thing that moves the price of anything is sentiment.”

Sentiment Changing Soon

The Investing.com article reported by Scott Kanowsky said the rise is coming from safe haven demand and a string of expected economic readings expected soon, “which are likely to factor into in the Federal Reserve’s plans for interest rates.”

However, Moriarty said the overall price of gold miners has devalued vs. the price of gold and is “at the bottom now.”

“From a relative position of sentiment, everybody hates the miners,” he said of environmental and ESG concerns that have affected the industry. “You can go to Canada, and there’s probably 1,500 stocks, and the number of stocks under 10 cents is absolutely staggering. I own probably 50 different stocks, and I would guess 40 of them are under 10 centers per share . . . You don’t have to know anything about investing if you understand the sentiment.”

And Moriarty expects that sentiment to change soon.

“We’re going to be in a bull market probably for the next 10 or 20 years,” he said. “It has just started the real bull face. You’re going to see it in the other metals, and you’re absolutely going to see it in the miners. And I believe there are a lot of stocks that are going to go up 100-fold.”

But Moriarty said it won’t be just gold; other metals like silver, rhodium, palladium, and platinum will benefit, sometimes even more.

“Gold is going to continue to go up, but just like with dancing, sometimes you lead, sometimes you follow,” he said. “And I think it’s the secondary metals that are going to lead now.”

Most Valuable Precious Metal on the Planet?

Like gold, silver has had a good year so far and is up 42.17%, according to USA Today. It was trading at US$34.02 per ounce on Tuesday, an increase of 1.26% in the previous 24 hours.  Platinum, which was US$1,025.65 per ounce on Monday, is up 3.84% on the year.

But in addition to gold, silver and platinum, the platinum group contains lesser-known metals like osmium, ruthenium, iridium, palladium, and rhodium.

The metals are all very rare and have high corrosion resistance, catalytic properties, and high melting points, according to How Stuff Works.

But Mack Hayden wrote for the site that rhodium, a silver-white metal, is “the most valuable precious metal on the planet.” The automotive industry uses nearly 80% of the world’s supply to make catalytic converters that help reduce toxic gas emissions. South Africa is the leading producer, contributing about 80% of the global supply. It is often found mixed with other platinum group metals and requires extensive processing to extract.

Trading Economics said rhodium has increased US$250 per ounce or 5.65% since the beginning of 2024. While it was US$4,675 per ounce on Monday, it reached an all-time high of US$29,800 per ounce in 2021 — nearly 10 times gold’s current record price.

Hunt pointed out that two of the major producers of platinum, palladium, and rhodium are Russia and South Africa, two members of the BRICS group of nations that met earlier this month in Russia.

“They control price; that’s a big deal,” Moriarty agreed. “We’re going to see some real financial shocks with silver, with rhodium, with palladium, and with platinum.”

BRICS Group Expanding

BRICS is an intergovernmental organization that includes Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Iran, Egypt, Ethiopia, and the United Arab Emirates. At its October meeting, it expanded to add 13 new “partner nations.”

At the meeting, China President Xi Jinping referred to BRICS as “a vanguard for advancing global governance reform” and “reform of the international financial architecture.”

Bolivian President Luis Arce said, “the shield of BRICS and multipolarity” can protect formerly colonized nations, helping them resist “Western unipolarity and the tyranny of the dollar.”

With gold hitting record highs and silver rising, the other platinum group metals are nowhere near their eventual highs, Moriarty said.

“The Russians understand this, and they’re going to start buying palladium, they’re going to start buying rhodium, and they’re going to start buying silver because those metals are going to move faster and higher than gold,” he said, predicting record highs for all three.

Gold Hits New Record Amid Geopolitical Tensions and US Election Uncertainty

By RoboForex Analytical Department

Gold prices surged to a new record high of 2,729 USD per troy ounce on Monday, driven by escalating conflicts in the Middle East and the heightened uncertainty surrounding the upcoming US presidential election. These persistent geopolitical factors, particularly the closely contested race between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, have bolstered investor demand for safe-haven assets like gold.

The intensification of hostilities in the Middle East, particularly with Israel’s ongoing discussions about further actions against Iran, has significantly influenced market sentiment. Despite calls from US President Joe Biden for a ceasefire, Israel’s reluctance to make concessions has only added to the geopolitical tensions affecting global markets.

As the US election day on 5 November approaches, investors are increasingly repositioning their portfolios, favouring the stability and security that gold provides during political uncertainty. Preliminary polls indicate that the election could be one of the closest in recent history, further enhancing gold’s appeal as a protective investment.

Market analysts are now revising their expectations for gold upwards, with some speculating that prices could reach 3,000 USD per troy ounce by Q4 2025. This optimistic outlook is further supported by the surge in interest in silver, which has reached its highest price since 2012 due to similar bullish sentiments in the precious metals market.

Technical analysis of gold (XAU/USD)

The gold market has successfully breached the 2,685 level, paving the way for upward movement. After achieving a local high of 2,732, the market is currently targeting the 2,757 level. A corrective pullback to at least 2,700 is anticipated before potentially resuming the upward trajectory towards 2,757. This bullish outlook is supported by the MACD indicator, whose signal line is significantly above zero and climbing, indicating strong upward momentum.

On the hourly chart, gold has established a growth wave, peaking at 2,732, with a consolidation pattern forming just below this level. A downward correction towards 2,700 is expected shortly. Upon completing this correction, the market may initiate another upward phase, targeting a retest of 2,733, potentially extending towards 2,757. The Stochastic oscillator corroborates this scenario, currently positioned above 80 but pointing downwards, suggesting a brief consolidation or correction may occur before further gains.

Gold Recovers Amid Mixed US Economic Indicators

By RoboForex Analytical Department 

Gold prices recovered, reaching 2,644.00 USD per troy ounce on Friday, as investors navigated mixed signals from recent US economic data. The resilience in September’s employment market introduced some hesitations regarding the Federal Reserve’s pace of monetary easing, as the robust job data might warrant a less aggressive approach to rate cuts.

Recent inflation reports further complicated the market. While the overall consumer price index slowed, it was less than anticipated, and core inflation, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, actually increased. These developments have hindered progress in easing price pressures, leading to adjustments in expectations for US monetary policy.

Initially, there was speculation of a significant 50-basis-point rate cut; however, given the current economic landscape, a more conservative rate cut of 25 basis points is now deemed more likely at the Fed’s November meeting. This scenario holds an 86% probability, according to market forecasts. For gold, which does not yield coupon income, the prospect of easing by the US Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) remains a positive catalyst, particularly in a lower interest rate environment where bonds and other interest-bearing assets become less competitive.

Despite the recent uptick, gold is on track to register its second consecutive weekly decline.

Technical analysis of gold (XAU/USD)

The gold market experienced a correction down to 2,605.00 but has since shown signs of resurgence. The current technical setup suggests a potential continuation towards 2,676.50, which would mark the next target in this upward trend. Following the achievement of this level, a correction back to 2,645.00 may occur. This bullish scenario is supported by the MACD indicator, which, although below zero, is gearing up for a potential rise, indicating strengthening momentum.

On the hourly chart, gold has formed a consolidation range above 2,605.00 and has broken upwards. It nearly reached the target of 2,644.00. Today, we might see the formation of a narrow consolidation range, and if a downward exit occurs, a corrective move to 2,625.00 could be expected. Following this correction, the market may gear up for another rise towards 2,662.00. This forecast is technically backed by the Stochastic oscillator, with its signal line currently above 80 but poised to start a decline, suggesting a short-term pullback before further gains.

Is This Copper Co. Extremely Undervalued?

Source: Clive Maund (10/7/24)

Technical Analyst Clive Maund shares his thoughts on Interra Copper Corp. (Imcx:CSE; Imimf:Otcqb; 3MX:FRA) to explain why he believes it is an Immediate Buy.

Interra Copper Corp. (IMCX:CSE; IMIMF:OTCQB; 3MX:FRA) hasn’t done much since we looked at it in August, and has actually slipped a little lower, but there is big news out of the company this morning that it is thought could positively impact the share price, which is that the company has entered into a purchase agreement for the Stars Copper Project.

The difference that this will make to the company is best summed up by President and CEO of Interra Brian Thurston, who commented, “Acquiring the Stars Property is transformative for Interra. The company changes from a junior exploring to making a discovery to a junior with a discovery that is looking to define a resource. The Stars Property has two complementary exploration upsides, with an established zone of higher-grade mineralization, that Interra can grow and define and a much broader under-explored area with high potential for new discovery.”

So this development is viewed as a big “move to the right” on a chart showing the steps from exploring to being a producer. For this reason alone, the company is viewed as a candidate for revaluation, especially given its currently very low valuation and, more generally, the rapidly improving outlook for the copper price. The transaction contemplated by the Purchase Agreement is expected to close on or before December 15, 2024, and is subject to customary closing conditions and approvals, including Aurwest shareholder approval as it relates to the sale of the Property.

So, if we look at the following slide from the company’s investor deck showing its priorities for 2024, we see that with respect to Item 3, they weren’t just talking about it; they did it.

If we look at the slide showing the priorities for 2025 and compare them with the priorities for this year, we see an important difference, which is that at Thane, there are now 10 large high-priority copper-gold mineralized targets.

Before reviewing the latest stock charts for the company, it is worth reminding ourselves about the company’s two main properties prior to the proposed acquisition of Stars, which are Thane and Rip, whose locations in British Columbia are shown on the following slide

This next slide sets out the attributes of the Thane copper-gold project.

This one sets out the attributes of the Rip property.

Two copper–moly targets have been identified at Rip as a result of an aerial survey undertaken this year, whose most important findings are shown on the following slide.

Since the August article appeared, a new copper zone has been discovered at Thane, which is called the Bananas showing. It, along with the previously known Gail showing, are ranked as the highest priorities, with strong copper-gold mineralized alteration systems in favorable host rocks.

Lastly, we take a look at the capital structure of the company as set out in the latest investor deck, with the most important point to note is that of the 42.6 million shares in issue, an estimated 44% are in the float.

Turning to the charts, we see on the long-term 7-year chart that Interra Copper stock is at the tail end of a seemingly relentless brutal bear market that has, at the current price, erased 99% of its value at its 2020 peak and, according to all normal metrics it is extremely undervalued here.

Yet despite the horrendous decline in the stock price, its Accumulation line has continued to advance, and we can see on the 2-year chart that its rate of climb has been accelerating over the past year.

By itself, this is bullish and indicates clandestine accumulation even as the stock price has fallen, and the longer it goes on, the greater is the chance that a reversal to the upside will occur, and now, with the announcement of the planned acquisition of the Stars Project, we may, at last, have the necessary catalyst to make this happen.

Even though the price is still technically in a downtrend with the price below bearishly aligned moving averages there are other bullish factors to observe on this chart that point to a reversal soon and these include the increasing bunching of price and moving averages such as typically precedes a reversal, the predominance of upside volume in recent months and downside momentum having dropped out as shown by the MACD indicator.

Lastly, the 6-month chart shows recent action in much more detail. In the original article on Interra posted in August, it was not expected to drop any further but it did, although it was not by much, and now it is suspected to be at the second low of a small Double Bottom whose first low was in the middle of last month and whose second low just occurred. It should pick up from here, and it is thought that today’s news will do it.

We, therefore, stay long, and Interra Copper is rated an Immediate Buy.
