Safe-Haven Gold Gains Ground

ByVictoria

Spot gold gained 1% to $4,532.72 per ounce. Prices hit their ⁠lowest ‌in more than seven weeks earlier in the ⁠session. U.S. gold futures for June delivery rose 0.5% higher to $4,535.30.

“Any type of resolution to the war or opening of the Strait of Hormuz would be a positive for the ⁠gold market in so much as the expectation would be that interest rates would decline, ‌and hence that would be opportunistic or helpful to ‌the gold market,” said ‌David Meger, director of metals trading at High Ridge Futures.

Citi said it was staying cautious near-term on gold with a zero to three-month point-price target of $4,300/oz.

    While no official tariff has been imposed, the price gap between the CME and London Metal Exchange (LME) contracts has widened sharply, with CME copper trading at a premium exceeding $1,000 per metric ton. This suggests the market is pricing in at least a 10% tariff, though a 25% duty, similar to those on aluminum and steel, remains a possibility.

    The safety of Germany’s gold reserves held overseas and in New York in particular, until recently mainly a talking point for the country’s far-right party and gold bugs, is becoming a matter of public debate with Donald Trump back in the White House.

    “We believe that he’s using (auto tariffs) as a trade negotiation. The markets are jittery because nobody really knows what’s going to happen and what will come out in future,” Nicolas Lin, chairman and interim CEO of Aether Holdings.

    European stocks fell, with weakness in shares of Europe’s top carmakers such as Volkswagen down nearly 2%, while BMW lost almost 3% and Mercedes-Benz slid more than 4%.

    The dollar index, which measures the greenback against a basket of currencies, fell 0.2% to 104.43, with the euro up 0.24% at $1.0777.

    The Mexican peso weakened 0.82% versus the dollar at 20.288 while the Canadian dollar weakened 0.39% versus the greenback to C$1.43 per dollar as both countries are expected to be heavily impacted by the tariffs.

    The decision follows a settlement with the Malian Government over its 2023 mining code, which has reduced the risk of disruption.

    B2Gold CEO Clive Johnson said: “From a B2Gold perspective, we have seen a reduction in risk since the signing of our settlement agreement.”

    “We have expatriate employees that move in and out of the country regularly, including some of the mine management, so there is no reason to think that any detention would ever be contemplated as it relates to B2Gold,” Johnson added.
