Gold and Silver headed for weekly gain

ByVictoria

“The latest run-up in prices—in gold to an 11-week high near last year’s record, and silver towards resistance around USD 31—was triggered by Trump’s threat to impose tariffs on some of its major trading partners, including Canada, Mexico, Europe, and China.”

“Silver continues to recover from the deep end-of-year correction that saw the white metal tumble 17% from a 12-year high at $34.87 to a December low at $28.74. Besides renewed demand from wrong-footed short sellers in the futures market at the start of the year, prices have also been supported by… the fundamental outlook for a fifth consecutive annual supply deficit.”

    “The uncertainty over US tariffs is pushing investors toward safe-haven assets like gold,” said Michael Hewson, Chief Market Analyst at CMC Markets.

    The weaker US Dollar, coupled with uncertainties surrounding US trade policies, is supporting silver’s bullish momentum.

    Gold (XAU/USD) is trading at $2,940.57, showing a modest gain of +0.07%.

    Silver (XAG/USD) is trading at $32.68, slightly down by -0.03%.

    Barrick Gold will resume operations at its shuttered Loulo-Gounkoto mine in Mali once authorities in the country allow it to resume gold shipments, CEO Mark Bristow said on Wednesday.

    “We will start the operations as soon as we get approval to ship the gold and we need to ship the gold to pay anything to the government,” Bristow said, adding that Barrick paid $460 million to the Mali government last year.

    “So if you calculate that to per week… and every week we don’t do this it hurts everyone,” he added.

    Copper and Aluminum drop

    Base metal prices plunged early Friday, with three-month benchmark copper on the London Metal Exchange recently -3.7% at $8,985.50/metric ton and three-month aluminum  -1.4% at $2,422.50/ton, as President Trump’s worse than expected tariffs trigger global growth slowdown fears, sparking a selloff in industrial metals and mining equities.

    Copper and aluminum have dropped 8.7% and 7.7%, respectively, so far this week, as the tariffs drag down demand forecasts

    Trump hit China with a 34% “reciprocal” tariff on top of existing duties, and China announced Friday that it will likewise impose 34% tariffs on all U.S. goods starting April 10.

    “While we remain structurally bullish copper in the long run, weaker global GDP and copper demand growth risk delaying the deficit we expect to see in the market this year,” Goldman Sachs wrote.
