JP Morgan analyst on gold

After a strong run for precious metals, gold mining shares still look undervalued.

That’s the view from JP Morgan’s latest note on listed producers, which argues there’s room for substantial upside, especially if its bullish forecast for the precious metal proves right.

Its commodities team is pencilling in a price of $4,100 an ounce for 2026. That’s well above current spot levels of $3,320 and would mark a new all-time high.

Based on that estimate, JP Morgan sees around 40–50 per cent upside to average analyst expectations for earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation across the sector.

    Australian gold reinvigorated

    Australia has not escaped the threat of increased tariffs on its exports to the U.S., but it does have one world-class industry which is reveling in commodity market confusion, gold.

    Both Citi and RBC Capital Markets see the gold price continuing to rise while the Resources Department of the Australian Government is forecasting an increase in national output from 286 tons this year to 309 tons next year, cementing Australia’s position as the world’s third biggest gold producer after Russia and China.

    Gold’s rise in U.S. dollars is magnified in Australia by the currency effect with an exchange current rate of US63 cents delivering an Australian gold price of A$4903/oz, a record which easily eclipses all earlier gold booms.

    Copper trade up to $US10,046.50 a ton

    Copper traded on the London Metal Exchange has jumped 14 per cent this year and reached $US10,046.50 a tonne on Thursday, the highest since October.

    “Traders are redirecting the metal from Asia to take advantage of the price premium and skirt any potential tariffs on the metal,” said ANZ senior commodity strategist Daniel Hynes.

    “The US copper rush could leave the rest of the world tight on copper if demand picks up more quickly than expected,” said ING commodity strategist Ewa Manthey.

    Gold up 2%, Silver up 4.1%

    Gold rose more than 2% on Monday to its highest in over three weeks, as a weakening dollar and a combination of geopolitical risks and economic uncertainty fuelled investor demand for safe-haven assets.

    Spot gold was up 2.7% at $3,377.29 an ounce, as of 10:19 a.m ET (1419 GMT), after hitting its highest level since May 8 earlier in the session.

    “The latest tariff threats on Friday, including plans to double steel and aluminium tariffs to 50% along with Ukraine’s weekend attacks deep into Russia, have heightened geopolitical risks and are fuelling risk-off sentiment,” said Peter Grant, vice president and senior metals strategist at Zanier Metals.

    “For the gold forecast, this backdrop of risk aversion and fiscal uncertainty couldn’t be more favourable.”

    Spot silver rose 4.1% to $34.31 an ounce, platinum was up 0.3% at $1,059.55 and palladium rose 1.2% to $982.40.

    “Current inflation measures, such as consumer price index (CPI) and producer price index (PPI), are significantly lower than previous 40-year highs.

    Meet the Ultrathin Conductor Set to Replace Copper in Advanced Electronics

    “We are breaking a fundamental bottleneck of traditional materials like copper,” said Asir Intisar Khan, who received his doctorate from Stanford and is now a visiting postdoctoral scholar and first author on the paper. “Our niobium phosphide conductors show that it’s possible to send faster, more efficient signals through ultrathin wires. This could improve the energy efficiency of future chips, and even small gains add up when many chips are used, such as in the massive data centers that store and process information today.”
