On Wednesday, August 13, gold went up as the US dollar got weaker and Treasury yields fell. Mild US inflation data led to a growing expectation for a rate cut by the Federal Reserve in September. It also increased chances for additional rate cuts later in the year.
Spot gold increased by 0.4% to $3,357.59 per ounce. US gold futures for December delivery gained 0.3% to reach $3,408.50.
The dollar index declined to a more than two-week low, which made gold cheaper for overseas buyers. Meanwhile, the yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note also went down slightly.
Nikos Tzabouras, a senior market analyst at Tradu.com, said:
“Gold is buoyant on heightened expectations of a September Fed rate cut, following benign CPI data and July’s weak non-farm payrolls.”
Fawad Razaqzada, market analyst at City Index and FOREX.com, said:
“While I maintain a bullish long-term outlook on gold, my view for the rest of this year is more cautious. Prices may continue to consolidate or see a mini correction in the coming months as equity markets rally aggressively.”
With this background in mind, let’s take a look at the 13 most promising gold stocks according to Wall Street analysts.
