Gold Digger: As gold demand rises, here's how you find an outperformer
State Street sees "bull case" of US$3500-3900/oz in 2025
Goldman Sachs surveys Australia's best performing gold miners
Gold may have taken a tumble last night amid signs of normalisation in the US trade universe – a deal between the US and UK that keeps a 10% tariff in place but gives concessions for beef, steel and more – but even with a deal with China on the cards, asset managers remain gold bulls.
At over US$3300/oz, gold prices still clock in at over $5000/oz for Aussie miners, with exchange rates also in their favour.
Figures for April from the World Gold Council, following up the strongest first quarter since 2016 continue to show the demand from investors for the yellow metal.
ETFs recorded a fifth straight month of net inflows, adding US$11 billion in April, with global holdings lifting 115t to 3561t.
That's the highest level of gold held in global ETFs since August 2022 but 10% below the month-end record of 3915t in October 2020.
Intriguingly, it was Asian buyers that provided the most steam for the engine, accounting for 65% of net inflows.
Over US$378bn of assets under management are now held in ETFs, with Asian funds' US$7.3bn of inflows in the month of April the strongest on record, led strongly by China.
"The bulk of the demand came from China (Table 2), marking the third consecutive month of inflows and the strongest on record for the region. And more impressively, the April inflows have now surpassed those in Q1 and in full year 2024," the WGC said.
"In addition to the continued local gold price surge, demand was also driven by:
The ongoing trade dispute with the US, which has raised fears of weaker growth, amplified equity volatility, and intensified expectations of the local currency depreciation
Lower government bond yields, amid rising rate cut anticipations."
US ETFs added US$4.5bn, their second highest on record.
Despite the pause after gold prices hit a brief record of US$3500/t in the days post-tariff in April, forecasters continue to tip higher levels.
State Street Global Advisors say "there is a strong tactical and strategic case to be made that the gold market has transitioned to a higher price regime north of US$3000/oz."
They've loaded up a new baseline floor price of US$3000-3100/oz, with a base case of US$3100-3500/oz for 2025.
The bull case for H2 has been moved up to an even stronger US$3500-3900/oz.
"An extended global trade war – even if isolated to US-China – should buttress demand for gold as a haven and alt-fiat asset," State Street says.
Despite the recent move down they say post-Liberation Day trade policies have 'enhanced the case for gold investment'.
Are all gold stocks a good bet?
A rising tide may float all boats.
But not to the same level.
Goldman Sachs' Aussie analysts Hugo Nicolaci, Paul Young, Marcus Dosanjh and Isaac Brooke have put together a catalogue of measurements to assess the outperformers in the ASX mid and large caps.
Their most recent note extends GS' analysis to over 45 listed gold assets covering more than 85% of gold production in Australia by names listed here and offshore.
There are a few market-specific trends which Goldman, on record as like equities above spot gold for value at the moment, has noted across the sector.
"At a sector-level, we find AISC/cash cost increases continued to moderate in the Mar-25 Q, though UG mining costs continue to rise," they said.
"While costs remain well above PcP levels, we expect further moderation of nominal cost increases, affirmed by our recent Perth trip seeing >25 corporates (mostly gold) with labour cost inflation seen at ~2-3% (and turnover for some falling to ~5-10%, from ~20-40% Covid peaks, improving productivity), softening oil/diesel prices, and unit costs further supported by grade improvements and growth projects adding to produced ounces."
When it comes to companies, they like Capricorn Metals (ASX:CMM), citing "peer-leading cost performance" in both open pit mining and processing at the Karlawinda gold mine "adding a defensive buffer to our preferred mid-cap gold exposure".
Gold Road Resources (ASX:GOR), which just agreed to a $3.7bn takeover by its JV partner at the Gruyere gold mine, Gold Fields, is viewed as having strong cash cost performance, while Newmont Corporation (ASX:NEM) (buy) and Evolution Mining (ASX:EVN) (neutral) have the benefit of copper by-products that support their cost base.
Northern Star Resources (ASX:NST) is also rated by Goldman as a buy, with strip ratios coming down at the Super Pit in Kalgoorlie and a wall remediation that cut off access to high grade ore deep in the big hole now complete.
A number of mid-cap names also look attractive on their higher than reserve grade mining performance.
Regis Resources (ASX:RRL), notably, has been seeing improved steadily improving grades that are outperforming reserves, Goldman's analysts noted. GS remains sell rated on Regis however, with its $4.25 price target tracking well below the current market price of $4.82.

Dateline Resources (ASX:DTR)
Much like last week, Dateline Resources enjoyed outsized gains after Donald Trump called out its permitting success with the Bureau of Land Management, which confirmed its right to mine the 1.1Moz Colosseum gold mine in California.
Strangely it seems to be the as yet untested rare earths potential of the operation which really has the US President buzzing.
Once owned by Barrick, Colosseum is a historic gold producer but sits just 10km from Mountain Pass, the US' only operating rare earths mine.
Dateline announced on Monday that it was preparing to conduct drilling for rare earths are the project where a gold feasibility study is also ongoing.
White Cliff Minerals (ASX:WCN)
A thick intercept of good grade copper has WCN's tail up, striking 175m at 2.5% Cu & 8.66g/t silver from 7.6m, including 14m at 7.55% Cu & 25.8g/t Ag from 138m at the Rae project in Canada's Nunavut province.
The hit included 3.9% Cu & 14.96g/t Ag over its last 60m and 4.46% copper at the end of the hole.
A second hole delivered 52m at 1.16% Cu & 3.43g/t Ag from surface, including 7.6m at 3% Cu & 9.5g/t Ag from 18.28m, with more assays from the first pending.
It demonstrates the potential for WCN to grow an existing non-JORC compliant resource and the copper and silver rich site.
White Cliff called the strike at Danvers "globally significant".
"DAN25008 was prioritised for assay due to the abundance of visual sulphides observed during drilling, and these results have underpinned our confidence in those visuals prevalent in the Company's prior work," MD Troy Whittaker said.
"We believe this drill hole ranks among the most significant copper intersections globally within the last 50 years and comfortably sits within the top 10 globally reported 'grade-metre' copper results.
"This discovery and outstanding results from Danvers is a clear testament to our technical team's expertise and geological understanding, in particular the professionalism and persistence of Olga Solovieva and Sam Vaughan.
"To illustrate the magnitude of this result, the DAN25001 intercept of 52m at 1.2% Cu - a strong result in its own right - now appears modest when viewed alongside the 175m @ 2.5% Cu from DAN25008. In the context of global copper supply constraints, the Company is well positioned to leverage these results with mineralisation from surface, supporting potential open pit mining activities and an open water port less than 80km from the deposit."

Live updates: US and EU seal trade deal, Wall St has fifth record close, ASX response looks muted
The US and EU have just completed a trade deal that will impose a 15 per cent tax on European imports into the US. The deal, described by US President Donald Trump as "the biggest ever made", mirrors a recent deal with Japan, which was also threatened with a much higher tax but settled for less. EU President Ursula von der Leyen said the deal would bring "stability". Meanwhile, a combination of solid corporate results and optimism about the US signing more trade deals before the August 1 "deadline" propelled Wall Street's S&P 500 and Nasdaq indices to record closes on Friday. The ASX response looks muted, with futures markets pointing to a marginal 0.1 per cent decline opening, ahead of Wednesday's important inflation figures.

S&P 500, Nasdaq strong; Deckers soars on UGG demand
The S&P 500 and Nasdaq notched record high closes, lifted by optimism that the US could soon reach a trade deal with the European Union, while Deckers Outdoor surged following a strong quarter for the maker of UGG boots and Hoka sneakers. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen will meet US President Donald Trump on Sunday in Scotland after EU officials and diplomats said they expected to reach a framework trade deal this weekend. Trump said earlier that the odds of a US-EU trade deal were "50-50". Deckers Outdoor soared 11 per cent after results beat quarterly estimates, with strong demand in international markets. Intel tumbled 8.5 per cent after the chipmaker forecast steeper quarterly losses than expected and announced plans to slash jobs. Wall Street has surged to record highs in recent weeks, thanks to upbeat quarterly earnings, trade deals with Japan and the Philippines, and expectations that the White House will cement more agreements to avoid elevated tariffs threatened by Trump. "The market has been anticipating that the deals are going to get done," said Thomas Martin, Senior Portfolio Manager at GLOBALT in Atlanta. "Personally, I have a bit more scepticism. You've got to be careful, because if they don't get done, there is more room for disappointment than there is upside." The S&P 500 climbed 0.40 per cent to end the session at 6,388.64 points. The Nasdaq gained 0.24 per cent to 21,108.32 points, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.47 per cent to 44,901.92 points. Nine of the 11 S&P 500 sector indexes rose, led by materials, up 1.17 per cent, followed by a 0.98 per cent gain in industrials. For the week, the S&P 500 climbed 1.5 per cent, the Nasdaq added 1.0 per cent and the Dow rose 1.3 per cent. The S&P 500 set a closing record every day this week. The last time the index had a "perfect week" of closing highs, Monday through Friday, was in November 2021, according to Howard Silverblatt, senior index analyst at S&P Dow Jones Indices. Investors next week will focus on the US Federal Reserve, with policymakers on Thursday expected to hold interest rates steady as the central bank weighs the impact of tariffs on inflation. Traders see about a 60 per cent chance of a rate cut in September, according to CME's FedWatch tool. Trump said on Friday he believed that Fed Chair Jerome Powell might be ready to lower rates. Trump made a rare visit to the Fed on Thursday after calling Powell a "numbskull" earlier in the week for failing to slash rates. Charter Communications slumped 18 per cent after the cable giant reported a deeper-than-expected broadband subscriber loss, hurt by competition from wireless carriers bundling high-speed internet services with 5G mobile plans. Paramount Global dipped 1.6 per cent after US regulators approved its $US8.4-billion ($A12.8 billion) merger with Skydance Media. Health insurer Centene rose 6.1 per cent after it said it expects to deliver improved profitability in its three government-backed healthcare insurance businesses in 2026. S&P 500 companies are expected on average to increase their second-quarter earnings by 7.7 per cent year over year, according to LSEG I/B/E/S, with most of those gains coming from heavyweight tech-related companies. Companies reporting next week include Microsoft , Apple, Amazon and Meta Platforms . Advancing issues outnumbered falling ones within the S&P 500 by a two-to-one ratio. The S&P 500 posted 45 new highs and 6 new lows; the Nasdaq recorded 68 new highs and 54 new lows. Volume on US exchanges was relatively light, with 17.7 billion shares traded, compared to an average of 18.1 billion shares over the previous 20 sessions.
