Investors rushing to safe-haven, gold

ByVictoria

Spot gold hit a record $3,004.86 per ounce on Friday, marking its thirteenth all-time high in 2025. Prices have already climbed 14% this year, after surging 27% in 2024.

“With continued central bank buying, there are multiple factors driving demand. In a backdrop of geopolitical uncertainty and ongoing tariff changes, appetite for gold remains strong,” said Standard Chartered analyst Suki Cooper.

“The inflation data is helping to give the market confidence that the easing cycle will continue, given concerns around inflation and growth,” said Standard Chartered analyst Suki Cooper.

    Barrick is a sector leading gold and copper production. One of the biggest in the world and comes in at 2nd in gold mining.

    “The miner this week threatened to suspend operations in Mali over deteriorating mine conditions. Jefferies analysts wrote in a note this week that closure of the mine would reduce Barrick’s earnings before interest, taxes, and amortization by 11% next year.”

    “Mali, under interim President Assimi Goita, has increased pressure on western miners in a bid to raise its revenue share from gold mines. In the last two months, the junta has detained senior executives of western miners, including employees of these companies for alleged non-payment of mining taxes.” Source – https://www.msn.com/en-ca/money/economy/barrick-gold-seeks-arbitration-over-mali-gold-mine-dispute/ar-AA1w6s2W?ocid=socialshare

    Silver is more volatile than gold. Monthly historical volatility in the COMEX silver futures market is at 19.88%, while gold’s monthly price variance metric is 10.45%. Silver’s penchant for high price volatility attracts more speculative market participants than gold. While gold is an investment asset, silver tends to be a trading vehicle.

    Gold prices touched a three-week high on Monday, supported by demand for safe-haven bullion after U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to impose a 30% tariff on imports from the European Union and Mexico.

    Spot gold was up 0.1% at $3,359.69 per ounce, as of 0637 GMT, after hitting its highest point since June 23 earlier in the session. U.S. gold futures rose 0.3% to $3,373.30.

    “We are seeing safe-haven demand coming back into the picture due to this uncertainty on the implementation of U.S. global trade tariffs policy,” OANDA senior market analyst Kelvin Wong said.

    “Near-term outlook looks positive for gold and if gold prices are able to have a daily close above $3,360, it could potentially advance higher towards the next resistance level at $3,435.”

    Spot silver gained 1.5% to $38.93 per ounce, platinum fell 1% to $1,384.81 and palladium fell 0.7% to $1,208.15.
