Citi's Gold Bears Turn Bullish on US Growth, Inflation Concerns

Citi's Gold Bears Turn Bullish on US Growth, Inflation Concerns

Bloomberga day ago
Citigroup Inc. revised its bearish forecast for gold, with analysts now predicting bullion will rally to a record high in the near term due to a worsening US economy and inflation-boosting tariffs.
The precious metal will trade between $3,300 and $3,600 an ounce over the next three months, due in part to US import levies averaging higher than the anticipated 15%, analysts including Max Layton said in a note on Monday. That contrasts with Citi's view in June, when the bank said gold would trade below $3,000 an ounce in the coming quarters.

Eli Lilly stock drops after Trump unleashes 250% pharma tariff warning

Aug 5 - Eli Lilly (NYSE:LLY) saw its stock dip on Tuesday after President Donald Trump amped up threats to impose massive tariffs on pharmaceutical imports. In an interview with CNBC, Trump floated the possibility of slapping a 250% duty on foreign-made drugs, his steepest proposed rate yet. He plans to start with a small tariff but warned it could rise significantly within 18 months. Trump's goal is to push drugmakers to bring more manufacturing back to the U.S. Amid this pressure, Eli Lilly has already pledged $27 billion to build four new production sites across the country. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 4 Warning Signs with JOBY. Still, that commitment hasn't satisfied Trump, who recently sent letters to 17 pharma companies demanding they cut drug prices by September 29. The mere threat of triple-digit tariffs has rattled the sector. Investors worry that such duties could spike costs for American consumers while squeezing margins for global drugmakers. Analysts say Trump's trade tactics remain unpredictable, but the market isn't taking chances, LLY and other pharma names are already trending lower. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.

Trump Got Instantly Fact-Checked On Live TV After Bragging About His Poll Numbers

President Donald Trump repeatedly boasted that he has 'the best poll numbers [he's] ever had' in an interview with CNBC on Tuesday morning, even though the majority of Americans disapprove of his performance in the job. Asked whether he would run for a third term in office despite the fact that the US Constitution's 22nd Amendment bars him from doing so, Trump replied 'probably not,' before going on to say he would like to do so. Related: 'I'd like to run. I have the best poll numbers I've ever had. You know why? Because people love the tariffs and they love the trade deal and they love that foreign countries aren't ripping us off anymore. For years they ripped us off, friend and foe,' Trump said, even though voter surveys suggest otherwise. Kernen interjected, clarifying that the president enjoys high support among Republican voters, but not the overall electorate. Trump didn't seem to blink. 'I have the best poll numbers I've ever had,' Trump said. 'I have poll numbers where I'm 71%.' 'Those are among Republicans,' Kernen replied. Related: Related: Trump would not relent, insisting Kernen was wrong. Trump also claimed that polls that showed him faring poorly with voters were 'fake.' The source for the figures cited by Trump is unclear. His approval rating currently stands at 44%, according to an average of polls compiled by the New York Times. Related: An issue that has garnered much attention in recent weeks appears to be a thorn in Trump's side as a majority of Americans disapprove of his administration's handling of documents related to the investigation into late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, according to an Economics/YouGov poll conducted late last month.
