Gold as a safe haven is more in demand again. Hedge funds had turned their backs on the gold market because bond yields have risen, which usually puts pressure on the gold price. Asset managers had reduced their gross speculative long positions in Comex gold futures. At the same time, short positions have increased. Thus, the rise in the dollar and yields has triggered a fund sell-off in precious metals.

Caused by rising geopolitical tensions, short covering action occurred. However, the last time gold was this bearish, it began to turn back up from around US$1,600. It then reached the US$2,000 per ounce gold level again. In recent years, net short positions have marked the bottom of the gold market. In the process, each market low was higher than the next. If the gold price does not buckle again, as expected by some market participants, then there should be covers that drive the gold price to record highs.

In terms of price, gold has held the critical mark of over 1,800 U.S. dollars. This should provide the potential for a sustained rally. Another point is that the bond market could see a turning point, i.e. a decline, and this would also pave the way for higher gold prices. While bond yields still have room to rise, the inflection point seems close.

The third point is that two Fed officials have sprinkled hints of a pause in interest rates. The FedWatch tool now shows just over a 25 percent chance of higher rates at the end of the year. Now one could think of gold investments, for example in the stocks of Victoria Gold or Karora Resources.

Victoria Gold – https://www.commodity-tv.com/ondemand/companies/profil/victoria-gold-corp/ – has been producing gold at its Yukon-based Dublin Gulch gold property since 2019. In the current year, Victoria Gold has already produced nearly 125,000 ounces of gold.
