Gold Digger: Feel down about your gold stocks? It could just be seasonal depression

The All Ords Gold sub-index is down 12% in the past month
But June is often a down time for Aussie gold miners, Canaccord says
Price bets from analysts remain bullish
Wet weather got you feeling down in the dumps?
There's seasonality, also, in the world of gold stocks.
After a ripping start to 2025, the past month has disappointed.
Gold equities may be the best asset class out over a 12 month time frame, close to 55% up if you use the ASX All Ords gold sub-index as a barometer.
Over the past month, though, we're talking a 12.2% decline. That's even with a relatively stagnant gold price, which peaked at over US$3400/oz mid-month amid World War 3 fears stoked by Israeli-Iranian missile fire before dying down once a ceasefire set in.
There may be reasons to remain optimistic, even if you're worried you've now got into gold miners and the top and are staring down from the precipice at a gaping abyss below.
Gold stocks, as it turns out, are vulnerable to a sort of seasonal depression, a winter blues as it were.
"Reflecting on a tough month of June for gold stocks, we analysed the monthly share price performance for six of the steady state producers over a six-year period to see if there was a seasonality trend," Canaccord Genuity analysts led by veteran gold bull Tim McCormack said.
"The results are obvious; June was consistently the worst month on average. The purpose of this note is not to define the rationale behind the seasonality (June gold price moves are generally benign), but simply point to the potential for a rebound in the 2H of the calendar year, acknowledging that past performance is no guarantee of future results."
In each of the past six years the six largest, long-standing ASX gold miners have finished June in the red as a collective at an average rate of 11%, the worst of any month.
June quarter production reports are on the horizon, an opportunity for the big players to reclaim gains with expected strong cash flows, as bullion remains in the order of US$3340/oz ($5084/oz).
Bullish
Canaccord remains bullish on the gold thematic.
They're not the only ones.
State Street Investment Management, one of the world's top asset managers, this week assigned an 80% probability that gold prices will be flat to higher in the next 6-9 months.
They have a 30% weighting on a bull scenario which could see gold approach US$4000/oz.
There's plenty of downside protection, if State Street is to be believed, with its team led by head of gold strategy Aakash Doshi calling US$3000/oz "the new US$2000/oz).
Gold's forecast further increase could be influenced by a few factors. State Street rates gold ETF investment to potentially go higher, with tonnages held by physically backed ETFs around 20% below their late 2020 peak.
There's also the prospect of a Chinese consumer rebound from non-traditional sectors now permitted to hold bullion like insurance treasuries, strong central bank demand, global debt at an all time high of close to 30% of government balance sheets and the potential for rate cuts from the US Fed.
BMI Commodity Insights meanwhile maintained a US$3100/oz gold price forecast in its latest update, but cautioned there were "downside risks".
It has bullion dropping to US$2900/oz in 2026 and US$2700/oz in 2027, eventually falling to US$2400/oz in 2029.

Santa Fe Minerals (ASX:SFM)
We knew SFA about SFM until this week, a company with virtually no news to report until the big ticket item that it acquired the Eburnea gold project in Cote d'Ivoire from Turaco Gold (ASX:TCG).
TCG is now a $520 million explorer thanks to its bet on the land of Didier Drogba and Yaya Toure (Kolo as well), which has emerged as the premier jurisdiction for new entrants into West Africa after military coups in Mali and Burkina Faso.
SFM will be itching to follow in the footsteps of Eburnea's vendor, Turaco having plenty of work on its hands at the 3.55Moz Afema gold project.
Historic drilling includes 26m at 4.82g/t and 30m at 1.92g/t at different points along a 2km mineralised zone in the Satama permit.
SFM, which is raising $1.2m at 5c per share, is also picking up a 65% share in the Bouake North application, 35km from Endeavour Mining's 3Moz Lafigue gold mine.
That placement came at a 61.3% premium and is already well out of the money, SFM shares fetching 14c on Friday (for a modest MC of $11m).
Falcon Metals (ASX:FAL)
Mark Bennett chaired Chalice Mining (ASX:CHN) spinoff Falcon announced some high grade gold intercepts from its first drill hole at Blue Moon, a prospect directly north of the 22Moz Bendigo Goldfield.
It's chasing what the company says is a down-plunge extension of the Garden Gully anticline from where 5.2Moz at 15g/t Au has been historically produced.
Those diamond drill hits, both from the same hole:
2.2m at 6.5g/t Au from 41.2m, including
0.3m at 39.2g/t Au from 41.2m; and
2.4m at 8.4g/t Au from 600m, including
0.3m at 48.7g/t Au from 600m; and
0.3m at 18.2g/t Au from 602.1m.
"This is an exciting start to the drill program, intersecting high-grade veins in our first hole in the east limb of the anticline," Falcon MD Tim Markwell said.
"The recognition of Bendigo-style mineralisation with visible gold proves our concept that the high-grade Bendigo lodes plunge into Falcon tenure and provides encouragement to drill wedge holes, in order to track these zones closer towards the fold hinge, where they are usually thickest.'
A bit of visible gold in there as well. Nice to see our rock lickers have found a purpose for the 5c piece.
