Gold could reach $4000 says Strategist Mick McGlone
The yellow metal could zoom all the way to $4,000 if investors continue to lose their appetite for risk, which would mean ditching assets like stocks and cryptocurrencies, and redirecting that money into gold and Treasury bonds, according to a note Friday from Bloomberg Intelligence Strategist Mick McGlone.
“The key competitors for gold, at least for the past few years, have been the strong rise in U.S. stocks, the rise in U.S. bond yields, and the rise in digital gold—that is Bitcoin,”

AngloGold profit surged and boosting payouts
AngloGold Ashanti (AU.N), is boosting payouts to investors, it said on Wednesday, after its profit surged to $954 million last year from a loss of $46 million in the prior year, buoyed by the precious metal’s rally to record highs.
Shares in the company however fell as much as 7.4% in early trading in New York.
CEO Alberto Calderon said the gold price rally had given AngloGold the strongest balance sheet position in more than a decade, and it is “able to pass on those benefits to shareholders in a more generous dividend policy”.

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.

Silver prices rise, how high will it go?
“Silver is showing signs of relatively higher momentum with the price trying to breach the crucial US$ 33 level,” Emkay said
Given silver’s diverse industrial applications, its price is projected to rise from its current level, reaching $36.60, $38.70, and $39.30 on COMEX, it said.
“Investing in silver funds with a 12 to 18 months’ time horizon is likely to be a worthy proposition.”
The gold-silver ratio is currently around 90, which suggests that silver is currently undervalued.

Gold prices down after trade truce
Gold prices have fallen almost 10% from a record high just above $3,500 per ounce in April as a de-escalation in U.S.-China trade tensions punctured momentum, but analysts are sticking with a bullish outlook due to strong underlying support for the metal.
Spot gold was trading around $3,180 an ounce on Friday, leaving prices on track for their worst week in six months.
“Gold prices are more likely to rise than to fall from this stage onwards as other factors like central bank demand and very strong investor demand from China are not going away anytime soon,” said Nitesh Shah, commodities strategist at WisdomTree.
