Gold Digger: Gold's fundamentals remain strong as investors seek shelter from the economic storm

Even in a bear case, the World Gold Council suggests there is natural support at US$3000/oz If economic conditions deteriorate, gold could run 10-15% higher still in H2 Anno Domini, anything goes in 2025 for gold with Bombs Over Baghdad (well not Baghdad, but all around it, it seems) sending the precious metal on a rocket to all time highs. We've caught our breath after the first round of Trump Admin tariffs and war in the Middle East sent bullion to US$3500/oz in April. But the precious metal is still 26% up through the first six months of the year and, as noted by the World Gold Council in its mid-year review this week, it's outperformed every asset major class there is, at least from an American-Eurocentric perspective. All up, the WGC has counted some 26 new all time highs through the first half of 2025, following on from 40 in 2024. Gold's attractiveness in times of crisis has been a major factor, with trade wars and concerns over the US economy sending investors flocking from US Treasuries for safe haven. The US Dollar has had its worst start to a year since 1973. "Conversely, gold ETF demand was particularly strong in the first half of the year, led by notable inflows from all regions," the WGC said in its report. "By the end of H1 the combination of a surging gold price and investor flight to safety pushed global gold ETF's total AUM 41% higher to US$383bn. "Total holdings rose by an impressive 397t (equivalent to US$38bn) to 3,616t – the highest month-end level since August 2022." While central bank demand doesn't look as strong as it did in the past three years, it will remain above long term averages. "At the same time, central bank demand is likely to remain robust in 2025, moderating from its previous records while staying well above the pre-2022 average of 500-600t." So where to from here? The WGC doesn't predict prices. But it has analysed the likelihood of various economic scenarios playing out. In the bull case global economic conditions could deteriorate, with gold benefitting from "lower interest rates and dollar weakness given growing concerns around US economic leadership and policy uncertainty." That would likely prompt a resurgence in central bank buying to diversify holdings away from paper currency and the Greenback, while gold ETFs have some slack. While high prices have been a deterrent, it's worth noting at 3616t, physical ETF holdings are shy of the 2020 peak of 3925t. The current bull cycle has seen 500t of additions and 400t of accumulation in the past six months alone. Previous bull cycles have seen ETFs amass 700-1100t, the WGC notes. A bull case could add a further 10-15% to gold in H2 for a 40% gain, eclipsing the percentage gain across 2024. A bear case, which would likely follow some form of risk resolution in terms of geopolitical and trade conflict (as remote as our dreams of firing Elon Musk off to Mars with only a Grok chatbot to keep him company), could lead to a 12-17% reduction in the gold price. Never fear ASX gold investors. That still hits a comfy natural support level of US$3000/oz. If you're not making money at that price your mine is not worth its salt. "In all, given the intrinsic limitations of forecasting the global economy, we believe that gold – through its fundamentals – remains well positioned to support tactical and strategic investment decisions in the current macro landscape," the report authors concluded.

unexplained 30% gain on Friday followed a high-grade gold discovery late last week from the Blue Moon prospect on the outskirts of the Bendigo gold zone. The Bendigo region has delivered 22Moz of gold since the gold rush, including 5.2Moz at 15g/t from the Garden Gully Anticline. Mark Bennett chaired Falcon thinks Blue Moon is sitting to the north of that trend on the Eastern Limb of the anticline, with visual gold and a deep hit of 1m at 543g/t from 544.2m getting small cap punters all hot and bothered. Santa Fe Minerals (ASX:SFM) This one has been quiet since early July, when it picked up the Eburnea project from West African gold hunter Turaco Gold (ASX:TCG), which hosts previous drill results like 26m at 4.82g/t and 30m at 1.92g/t. SFM is now up a quite remarkable 725% in a month. Could it follow a similar trajectory to the now 2.5Moz Turaco and its Afema project and Many Peaks Minerals (ASX:MPK), which has had similar success at Ferké, another project traded out of Turaco's Cote d'Ivoire portfolio, and announced a private $13.5m placement this week? Stavely Minerals (ASX:SVY) Previously focused on the copper resource at its Cayley Lode discovery, SVY has turned its attention to the gold potential of its Stavely project in Western Victoria. It plunged just one RC drill hole into the Fairview South prospect, but it was a good'un, striking 40m at 1.96g/t gold, from surface no less. Some high-grade results from rock chips 600m to the south have also provided encouragement, opening up a fair lick of strike to target future drilling activities. That was followed up by gold hits at the Fairview North prospect that suggested heap leachable material was located in shallow positions at the prospect, including a headline strike of 59m at 1.31g/t from surface. "It's great to see such a consistent set of gold results from the recent RC drilling at Fairview North, where the mineralisation is characterised by shallow, broad zones of moderate grade gold mineralisation with notable internal zones of higher-grade," SVY MD Chris Cairns said. 'The significance of the shallow broader zones of gold mineralisation is that metallurgical testwork completed in 2017 clearly demonstrates that this style of mineralisation is amenable to low-capital and low-operating cost heap leach extraction." SVY says it now understands the orientation to mineralisation at the Flexure A area, with more drilling to define that at the Flexure B and C areas.

Top 10 at 11: ASX opens lower as tariff fatigue sets in across global markets

Morning, and welcome to Stockhead's Top 10 (at 11… ish), highlighting the movers and shakers on the ASX in early-doors trading. With the market opening at 10am sharp eastern time, the data is taken at 10:15, once trading kicks off in earnest. In brief, this is what the markets have been up to this morning. Federal Court reinstates tariffs US markets rose in overnight trade, but showed none of their usual enthusiasm. News Liberation Day tariffs had been suspended by a US court order and deemed unlawful pushed US futures up more than 1% overnight, but that optimism was quickly dashed as a Federal Court reinstated the tariffs. They'll remain in place as the Trump Admin appeals the decision and outlines new legal justifications for the tariffs. President Trump's team has already signalled that it will continue to pursue the tariffs even if its appeal is lost. President of the Chicago Federal Reserve Austan Goolsbee signalled the removal or avoidance of large tariffs could bring on an interest rate cut, pointing to the underlying strength in the US economy. According to a Reuters analysis, the tariffs have cost business across the US, Asia and Europe more than US$34 billion in lost sales and higher costs. Investors and traders appear to be becoming somewhat numb to it all. The Dow lifted 0.28%, the S&P500 0.4% and the Nasdaq 0.39%. A brief tariff relief rally in Europe faded to leave both major indices marginally lower – the FTSE300 dipped 0.2% and the FTSE100 0.1%. ASX follows Europe lower The ASX has opened lower in the first hour of trade, down 0.21% as of about 10:30 am AEST. Consumer Staples are Materials are the only sectors in the green at present, not an ideal start to trading this morning. A lift in the gold price overnight has provided some stability for gold stocks, which have lifted the All Ords Gold index 0.52%, but the rest of the market is demonstrating broad weakness. Energy is leading losses, down 0.89% after putting in a strong showing yesterday.

SCOTUS Sides with Trump to Revoke Legal Status from 300k Venezuelans

Come hell or high water, President Trump is going to keep his promise to deport criminal illegal aliens out of your country and god bless him for it. I'm Tomi Lahren, more next. President Trump is doing everything he can to keep illegal aliens out of this country as well as put an end to Biden era programs that allowed for a mass invasion under the guise of compassion or even 'legal status.' He's getting a little help from the high court. The Supreme Court ruled the Trump Administration can, in fact, revoke the legal status Biden arbitrarily and treasonously granted to hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans. Yeah, that was the workaround Joe Biden's team orchestrated to allow over 300 thousand Venezuelans to use an app to fly here and get perks, work and, of course, not be detained. Well, that's over now. The Trump Admin should soon be able to send them packing. They were never properly vetted. That would be impossible since Venezuela DOES NOT cooperate with the US government to do so. Trump has every right to revoke their status and clean house and that's exactly what he is going to do! Promises made. Promises Kept! I'm Tomi Lahren and you watch my show 'Tomi Lahren is Fearless' at Learn more about your ad choices. Visit

Rep. Buddy Carter says state needs ‘a true Conservative' as he runs for U.S. Senate against Ossoff

Channel 2 Action News is hearing from the lone Republican to throw his hat in the race, so far, to try and unseat Jon Ossoff in the U.S. Senate race in 2026. While there is a long list of Republicans potentially waiting to announce, Georgia U.S. Rep. Buddy Carter is the only one to announce his run. Carter told Channel 2's Richard Elliot that he thinks he will win the primary and general election. Elliot was inside the studio on Friday as Carter made his first appearance on Atlanta radio, just days after he announced he would run for the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate. The St. Simons Island lawmaker said he only jumped in when he learned Gov. Brian Kemp stepped aside. TRENDING STORIES: Traffic stop lands GA college student in ICE custody 2 weeks after same thing happened to father GSP trooper pulled from car after landing in creek during chase Buc-ee's announces opening date for new Georgia location 'After the governor decided he didn't want to run, I knew we needed a true Conservative, someone who's going to support President Trump's agenda,' Carter said. But Carter may not be the only republican jumping in. In an exclusive interview at the White House last week, Elliot asked U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene if she intended to run. 'All options are open to me,' Greene said. Earlier this week, Elliot also spoke with U.S. Rep. Mike Collins about a potential run. He said he wants to hear from President Trump. 'We'll obviously get in touch with and be with the Trump administration on talks, and just see who the president wants to get behind. We'll start pushing from here,' Collins said. Meanwhile, Ossoff is taking a position of wait and see. 'I'm not spending a whole lot of time worrying about who might run for the Senate. My job is to deliver for Georgia. My job is to deliver for my constituents,' Ossoff said. Ossoff doesn't have an opponent in the Democratic primary. Other Republicans reportedly considering a run are Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and Georgia Insurance Commissioner John King.
